Malaysian in Sharjah

I was in Sharjah, UAE last week with few friends to promote our company in UAE . The experience was not to what we had expected.

The number of visitors on the opening day was low. Most participants were so frustrated with the location of the trade EXPO arranged by MATRADE .

The second day was not getting any better due to Bush visit in Dubai where most of the road leading to Sharjah were closed .

Last but not least , the third day Dubai was hit by the biggest flood.

We ended up visiting fellows' booths and exchange gift and built up network which we could not possibly did in Malaysia. Some had to throw the hundred brochures and product information that were not used to avoid paying the exorbitant air freight charges

Sharjah is not for a place to look for business, Dubai is !! . So, Matrade please do your homework.....

Anak Halal..Are We ?

The lady appeared to be deeply in thought . What's on her mind !. Probably trying to figure out if she is 'Anak Halal' ?. Or maybe she cannot decide which movie will be good for her to kill the evening time.

Kertih : City of Light

Kertih looks dull during the day but the petrochemical industrial town turns into a city of light during the night time.

Trimming The Street Trees

This man loves trimming street landscape trees. He even had brought along a chair to complete his art work. [Photo taken along a main road infront of Paka Police Station: Dec 2007]

Trishaw in China Town , Kuala Terengganu

The street appeared to look more colourful during my visit this year last week. Most of the old shops had already put some bright colour paint . Just like Jonker street in Melaka
