The lights of Las Vegas strip. Another city, if possible, I'd like to go again. I remember I was in awe as we headed towards Las Vegas night time, after a day trip to Grand Canyon. The city lights, beautiful!

Another revisit! This entry was done in March 2008. Check it out: here.

I have written about the owls I purchased in Lumut. Click here. But the one below was bought at the hotel itself, it's kinda big compared to those other owls. Unfortunately today, it has broken into two; but I managed to paste them up together; although I don't know how long it'll hold.
Told ya this one is big!!
And the hotel where we stayed. Pangkor Island Beach Resort. Room 468.

Las Vegas Dice

Izwan stayed at the Venetian during his trip to Las Vegas in June 2007. And he saw the Blue Man Group performed there. Jeles! Jeles! But he got me various magnets that are different from the LV magents that I've already got. Some of them are 3-D; just like this one:

The hotel wants you to experience the romance of Italy in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. It offers enchanting atmosphere of this all-suite Las Vegas hotel resort. There are 19 remarkable restaurants and 80 international boutiques of The Grand Canal Shoppes! We did roam around and had dinner at the Venetian during our trip in 2006 and I remember Tasha was very impressed with the decor. Who knows, we might even go there again, say... in ten years? hehe

Redlight? Jalan Aje!

Izwan & I have been there, during our honeymoon (we had two, one local - Pulau Redang and we went to Europe a few months later, prezzie from my in-laws). That was the first time I see a meat market in the flesh and openly 'on sale' too.

Tablecloth

Welcome to Cape Town. Many thanks to Hisham for choosing this as a souvenir! The pic on the magnets shows the Table Mountain forms a dramatic backdrop to the city bowl, with its plateau over 1,000 m (3,300 feet) high; it is surrounded by near-vertical cliffs, Devil's Peak and Lion's Head. Sometimes a thin strip of cloud forms over the mountain, and owing to its appearance, it is colloquially known as the "Tablecloth". My friend Yusof went there several (or many??) years ago and he was one of the lucky ones who actually witnessed the tablecloth formation.

Often regarded as one of the world's most beautiful cities because of its geography, Cape Town is one of the most popular South African tourism destinations. Cape Town is the 3rd most populous city in South Africa, forming part of the metropolitan municipality of the City of Cape Town. The centre of Cape Town is located at the northern end of the Cape Peninsula.

Fire of Firenze

This gorgoues magnet was purchased by Onnair - in Italy, of course. It is the italian word for Florence, the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany, Italy. Yes, they are not mere names of perfumes, you know.


Among its famous residents are Donatello the scupltor, Raphael the painter, Leornado Da Vinci (if you have never heard of him, where have you been?) and of course Salvatore Ferragamo.

Angkor What?

Thanks to Grace, this magnet is now sitting comfortably in my office. She & hubby Sathish went for the trip mid last year. Here's a picture of Angkor Wat you often see. And below that, an aerial picture of Angkor Wat... a picture you don't see often.

At the center of Angkor Wat are five towers that represent the five peaks of Mount Meru. The round towers mark out the corners and the center of the innermost square of the complex. Like the mountain peaks they represent, the towers are pointed on top. The pinnacle of each tower is slightly lighter than the surrounding black stone in this image.

From EO newsroom: Tucked deep in the Cambodian rainforest, the ancient Angkor Wat temple is considered one of the most valuable architectural sites in Asia. Angkor Wat is the pinnacle of the city of Angkor, capital of the once-powerful Khmer Empire of Southeast Asia. The temple was built by Suryavarman II between 1113 and 1150 AD. Dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu, Angkor Wat is a representation of Mount Meru, home of the gods and the center of the Hindu universe. In addition to its unique pyramid temple architecture, Angkor Wat is covered with intricate bas-relief carvings of Hindu epics.

Many of the symbolic architectural features are clearly visible in this Ikonos image, acquired on April 12, 2004. The temple complex is surrounded by a 174-meter- (570-foot-) wide moat, visible in the large image, that represents the oceans at the edge of the universe. A stone causeway leads through the Hindu universe to the temple home of the gods from the west, on the left side of the image. The temple complex itself is a series of buildings on rising terraces like the slopes of a mountain.
