Two pictures taken overlooking the mouth of Prai River. The scenery and tranquility can take one’s breath away especially when view with one own eyes. Sometimes I cannot help wondering why Penang has so much to offer in terms of natural beautiful, but is always losing to its neighbouring states and country for tourism.
Maybe, we should not always takes things for granted. Nature’s beauty can only be preserve if we take the effort and I mean a lot of it to maintain our environment.
A flag, so simple but a look at it will tell us where we belong to. A country for all races - 1Malaysia
In the Annual Horse Show 2009 held in Penang Turf Club, one of the events was the Farriery competition. As explained in Wikipedia, farrier “is a specialist in the trimming and balancing of a horse's hoof and the placing of shoes to the horse's foot”. In this competition, we see more of the molding of the horse shoe instead. Anyway it was interesting to witness an event which can be hardly seen.
The horse shoe is heated up super hot so that it can be moulded and polished
It need two strong guys to make a shoe
Ahhh, look where you swing the iron brush
All ready but nothing like Jimmy Choo’s design
Can’t imagine such long nails sticking into the hoofs
The National Horse Show 2009 was recently held in the Penang Turf Club with free admission. There were various programs, entertaining and educational for all ages. The equestrian competition is one of them.

The Penang Floral Festival 2009 is held in the Botanic Garden from 31st May to 7th June. These bonzai plants are groomed and shaped into different styles with occasionally trimming of the roots and branches.
These are some of the little tree in a pot that were displayed in the garden. Indeed beautiful!
The floral festival is still on-going and will end this Sunday.
