Malaysian GP

It must be a lucrative business hosting the Formula 1. Even Singapore is considering hosting the races, albeit, at night. Singapore is only 4 hours by road from Sepang where the Malaysian GP has been held since 1999.

Will the Singapore races pose a threat to the Malaysian GP? Only time will tell.

In the meantime, if you have bought tickets for the races, do go early. The race promoter, Sepang International Circuit (SIC), has advised racing fans to use public transportation to come for the race. The ERL or the aurobus is a better bet, because you will not caught in a jam. The race circuit is on the way to KL's Low Cost Terminal, which will add to the traffice jam on Sunday April 8, 2007

Good Friday 2007

Christians all over the world will celebrate Good Friday on April 6, 2007. If you have never been to St Peter Church for Good Friday, then you should visit historical Melaka (Jalan Bendahara) and experience it yourself.

A little bit about St Peter's church: extracted from a review made in Yahoo Travel

St Peter's church was the primary location for congregations of Portuguese Catholics who had it constructed in 1710, during the period of Dutch rule. Now it qualifies as the oldest Catholic Church in Malaysia and still serves resident worshippers of the Catholic faith. They include descendants of the 600 men that Alfonso d'Albuquerque brought ashore after his conquest of Malacca. The existing bell in the belfry states the date and place of manufacture as 1608 - Goa, and was salvaged from an older church the Dutch had burned down. There is also an alabaster statue of the Lord Before The Resurrection.

What is different about Good friday in Melaka, is that this event is attended by non Christians as well.
