There was an old bungalow at this location, the junction between Anderson Road & Green Lane (Jalan Dato Seri Ahmad Said) that used to be a furniture galley before its demolition. A new building is built here and it turns up to be an amusement center Summer Paradise that come with a western restaurant Folie Folie Cafe & Grill. The building can be seen from Tower Regency Hotel (as posted in 6-Nov-2010) with its striking neon lights. There are some karaoke rooms & a fun pub in the building while the restaurant is operating in a separate unit at its side. I visited the restaurant & karaoke once each and find this is quite a nice place for night life. I believe it also attarcts guests from Tower Regency Hotel which is just within few minutes walking distance.
Ipoh, the capital city of Perak State, Malaysia, is the city that tin built. Located at the famous tin mining area, Kinta Valley, it used to be the world's largest tin mine since 19th century. Not only of its tin mine, but Ipoh also famous of its delicious food, beautiful mountain ranges, mysterious lime stone caves, attractive history & friendly citizen. Being the second in Malaysia that gain the status of city in year 1988 after Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh is one of the major cities in Malaysia with the population around 700,000. Began as a small village in 1870's, tin mine industry had brought in Chinese and Indian that boosted the town development since 1890's. The rapid growing town later upgraded to be the capital of Perak during the Japanese occupation at World War II. The rich tin resource had brought prosperity to many Ipoh miners that even make it once known as the City of Millionaires. Today, Ipoh has grown to cover a large area including the neighboring township such as Bercham, Tasek, Jelapang, Menglembu, Pengkalan, Simpang Pulai & Chemor. The city is still developing continuously while maintains its beauty of nature and harmony.
We are living in a busy world. We often have no time to appreciate the moments in our daily life. Take a break, stop & look around. There are many beautiful things, although it is simple & humble. I learn to gain a better life by appreciation & would like to share the images in my world.
