Food for You - @ Hong Kong



Food for You - @ Hong Kong

Hong Kong (香港) is a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China. Situated in the Eastern Asia, bordering the South China Sea and China. It is one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

Beside renowning for its expansive skyline and deep natural harbour. I believe eating is a social affair in Hong Kong. Everywhere from all levels of food chain to street stalls to family restaurants to hotel restaurants or even McDonalds, most of the times I never get sick of it. May be is because I'm a Chinese. I simply love the food. Peking Duck to Roast Pork to Dim Sum to etc...

Seriously, even in McDonalds, I personally think that the tea that I drank is so much better than the tea I order back in McDonalds at home.

It is a vibrant urban area serving a metropolitan population of about 5 million. The city was once the second-largest in the British Empire (After London), and the social and geographical center of the original 13 American colonies. The first America Zoo is in Philadelphia too (Philadelphia Zoo).

The Hourly Fire - Melbourne @ Australia



Melbourne @ Australia

Australia is a country located in the Southern Hemisphere (Oceania, continent between the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean). It comprises the mainland of the Australian continent (the world's smallest), the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Australia is made up of six states and two major mainland territories. Melbourne is the capital and most populous city in the state of Victoria, and also the second most populous city in Australia.

Oh, how I can ever miss this? An hourly event in the evening near Crown Casino. At night, giant spheres of fire issue at choreographed intervals from the tops of the towers. Nine feet in diameter, these magnificent flame clusters send out pyrotechnic illumination that transforms the Crown Casino promenade and the entire river edge into an evening experience of vibrancy and drama.

We Are Soldier - Taipei @ Taiwan



We Are Soldier - Taipei @ Taiwan

Taiwan (Known also as The Republic of China) located in the Eastern Asia, islands bordering the East China Sea, Philippine Sea, South China Sea, and Taiwan Strait, north of the Philippines, off the southeastern coast of China. The de facto capital (provisional capital) of Taiwan is Taipei (台北), which is also the largest city in Taiwan.

The photo is taken in the Martyrs' Shrine, Taipei (台北 大直 忠烈祠). It is situated on the Chingshan Mountain, close to the Grand Hotel (圓山飯店) and is overlooking the Keelung River (基隆河).

It was built in 1969, in honor of about 330,000 men who had sacrificed their lives while trying to overthrow the Ching Dynasty. The temple bears close resemblance to the Taihe Dian Imperial Palace (故宮太和殿) situated in Beijing. No doubt, there is a great sense of calm and solemn atmosphere about it.

One great attraction that is worth watching of the shrine is the change of guards parade (衛兵交接操槍儀式) every hourly. My understanding is that these military guards who guard the temple are trained to remain strict and stand rigid in front of the temple. They are to stand expressionless and unmoved by the words of the crowds.

My Design, My Work, My Plate - @ Belgium



My Design, My Work, My Plate - @ Belgium

The Kingdom of Belgium is a country in the northwest Europe, who shares the borders with France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Belgium has three official languages. There are Dutch, French and German. In which Dutch being the largest speaker population.

This lady immediately attracted me when I saw her sitting along the street. She has created some small little deco plates. Most likely it was painted by her. She "seem" not so well to do... (Okay I might be wrong. Sorry lady.) Okay, she might be travelling around too... but trying to earn some money while travelling... Nevertheless she able to support herself and her dog by making those handicraft plates to sell.

Isn't it encouraging for those who is strong and healthy, yet lofting around asking people for money?

The Eiffel Tower - Paris @ France


The Eiffel Tower - Paris @ France

The official name for France is French Republic. Today France is one of the most modern countries in the world and is a leader among European nations. One of the earliest countries to progress from feudalism to the nation-state. Its monarchs surrounded themselves with capable ministers, and French armies were among the most innovative, disciplined, and professional of their day.

Paris in France, my first stop, the first country that I step into when I went to europe. Now it is the first picture in this blog... is a newborn so the world is still black and white ;-p

One of the most famous landmark in France is the Eiffel Tower. It is a 19th century iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris that has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. It was built for the World Exhibition in 1889, held in celebration of the French Revolution in 1789.

It is named after its designer, engineer - Gustave Eiffel. He was also known for the construction of the Status Of Liberty's iron framework.

Foreword - Be Blessed !!!

As a blessed child of God, I believe that I'm really blessed. I managed to travel quite a number of places in this small little planet known as Earth.

Yes, is not about work, is not about event. It is about travelling around with the one you love, with the one you enjoy going around with. Explore this small little planet and realise that the world is not that small after all.

As a matter of fact, I'm actually quite a "homely" man, not a person that love to travel alot. However, like I said, being blessed by God, I blessed to travel. :-P (too deep for you? is okay... layman term... I'm Blessed... That's why this blog is known as "Blessed Footprint".)

As far as I am concern, as long as I get to travel, I would love to travel for a much longer period of time while covering as many places as possible. Leaving many blessed footprint around this planet. Reason being I really enjoy it especially when I know that there is another 2 set of footprints walking along with me... The footprint of my wife and my lord, Jesus... I really think I am BLESSED.

Having said all that, the more I travel, the more I notice the beauty of this world that I'm living. The more I notice that, the more I am impressed by the works of God. 7 days is all he used to create this world. Nope, definitely not 7 days, not even 70 days or 700 days, I think if I am given another 70 years, I will still never be able to finish leaving my footprint in every part of this world. That's how powerful my God is... 7 days.

Nevetheless, I think it is time for me to share... And that's the reason for the birth of this blog... to share with the world the "footprint" of my life journey. Footprint of beautiful building, places, food, events and beautiful people that I've seen.

So stay cool and keep coming back to my blog... "footprint" will be up in the next post of mine... Cheers.


PS : Travelling in my own country, attending events of my life to me is also consider as leaving my footprint, okay? Don't understand? Nevermind... you will get it one day. :-)

Blessed Footprint

Dear All...

I'm glad to announce that Today is the OFFICIAL Launched of
Blessed Footprint !!!

All Photos displayed on this Blog are the taken by me.
The camera gear that I used to take all the photographs are as follows :
  • Nikon F50
  • Sony 707
  • Sony T100
  • Canon 40D
Yes, as you can see, there are film SLR camera, prosumer camera, compact camera to Digital SLR. So please don't think that this is another Professional Photographer trying to post his photographs for the world to see... Anyway I don't think my photography skill are that good yet. So it just me and my camera... showing you what my eye see from this beautiful world.

Alright, due to the "limitation" of the storage space given by blogspot, all the photographs displayed as been "downsized" in term of resolution and quality. ;-p

Anyway I have done my MATH... Assuming there are 30 days in every month of the year, and if I were to post at least 15 photos in every month, that will be at least 180 for a year. (15 x 12 = 180) Wow, I admit I did go to a number of cities. However to produce 180 PRESENTABLE photographs is totally another issue.

Mmm... maybe 1 week 2 photos, 1 month will have 4 photos, 1 year will be 48 photos... Mmm...

Anyway don't be surprise that you might see more than 1 photographs from the same cities / countries again. Being able to produce more than 1 photos would most likely means that I've stay a much longer period of time in that country, hence I'm able to find more time to "shoot" around. Especially this little beautiful "red dot" country known as Singapore. You might able to see many from this country. I have been staying here for some time... know why? I'm born here bro. ;-P

Okay, hope you will enjoy my "shooting". Maybe there will be a time when we can go "shooting" together. Do drop me a mail if you like my photos... It does encourage me alot ;-P


May the Lord bless All of us...

Thank You.
