After visiting the rest of Israel, we put up the last night in Grand Court Hotel Jerusalem. The next early morning we crossed the border into Jordan through Allenby Bridge again and visited Mount Nebo and Madeba in Jordan before going to Amman International Airport flying to Dubai ETD 3:00pm for 3 hours plus flight. The worst thing is we transit in Dubai for nearly 6 hours for our flight back to Singapore ETD Dubai at 1:00am in the morning. Anyway, thank God for this trip ....... the beauty of that country is just beyond words to describe it. If have the opportunity, you guys/gals should visit there at least once! Hope you enjoyed the photos as I do, and as usual the details are all in the slides .......

The immigration check point in Israel is one of the tightest in the whole world. Wonderful experience as I was one of the few that was called in for "interview". I didn't mind as the immigration officers there are all beautiful ladies! Ha!Ha!Ha! Then we travelled up north to Tiberias at the Sea Of Galilee. Along the way we noticed that Israel is one of the most safe place in the world ....... I think Johor Bahru is worst man ....... Ha!Ha!Ha! So, as usual, the details are all in each of the photos. Do click the slide show for more details ....... you'll love it! http://mikemui.multiply.com/photos/album/51/Israel_Part_2_Of_The_Israel_Pilgrimage Thu, 20 Dec 2007 03:47:18 -0000 We (32 of us) started of from Singapore Changi International Airport by Qatar Airways ETD 7:00am, flying for 7 hours plus to Dubai. Transit for 2 hours before flying to Amman (about 3 hours) ETA afternoon Amman local time. After Immigration check, we travelled down south of Jordan to Petra (Amman is somewhere north of Jordan). The bus journey about 3 hours. Reached Petra in the evening and it's completely in darkness already as the sun set at 4:30pm everyday. Checked in into Crowne Plaza Resort Petra. I've keyed in the details of the visit in every photos, so it's good if you guys/gals can see the slide show for more details ....... don't miss it yeah? Ha!Ha!Ha! Petra is a wonderful place where the stones are so red in colour like blood and voted as one of the 7 Wonders Of The World http://mikemui.multiply.com/photos/album/50/Petra_Jordan_Part_1_Of_Israel_Pilgrimage Thu, 20 Dec 2007 02:53:56 -0000 I will be away on my pilgrimage to Israel with my wife and fellow church members, about 30 of us ....... from Dec 6 to Dec 15, 2007.

Was using the Lightsphere on my SB800 flash and also the Nikon Creative Lighting System using both my SB600 and http://mikemui.multiply.com/photos/album/47/Kim_Heng_Chiew_Fei_Wedding Mon, 5 Nov 2007 01:30:59 -0000 Well, nothing to do while waiting for the others ....... So took out my 70-300mm to shoot candid shots. What prompted me? Well, saw 2 beautiful leng-lois taking photo, so faster grabbed my lenses, changed it in a split of second and shot them. Ha!Ha!Ha! They really look like models ....... So, since already changed my lens, might as well shoot others ....... children were my next http://mikemui.multiply.com/photos/album/41/Candid_Shots_In_Louvre_Paris Thu, 16 Aug 2007 01:36:39 -0000 This was the peak of our Europe Tour! Flew in from Dusseldorf Airport Germany and reached Paris around afternoon. Had a brief city tour from the bus on the way to the Hotel Concorde St. Lazare. In the evening, we went to Moulin Rouge, a professional cabaret dance performance in Paris Red Light Area. The dancers are all "topless" but done in a very professional way. We had dinner inside Moulin Rouge and our tickets cost about near EURO 200 each! The good thing was, all fully paid! Ha!Ha!Ha! No walk-ins as very long queue to enter and entrance only by bookings/reservations at www.moulinrogue.fr (a short dance of the topless ladies can be viewed in this website too). The dinner plus show lasted about 3 hours ....... but too bad, no cameras nor video allowed in! After the show, a few of us walked to the Sacred Heart Church up the hill to have some night shots at about midnight, and only reached back the hotel at 2:00am. The following day we had city tour again on the way to... http://mikemui.multiply.com/photos/album/40/Paris_France Wed, 15 Aug 2007 08:00:37 -0000 Another small town in Germany which we visited during one of our evening breaks. This town is superb for its Ice creams and Chocolates! Yummy http://mikemui.multiply.com/photos/album/39/Bocholt_Germany Wed, 15 Aug 2007 07:39:07 -0000 This is where the famous Cologne Brand originated. We visited this place during one of the evening break. Nothing much to see as it is just a very small town but has a very big cathedral. We climbed up the narrow winding stairs up to the peak where the bell is located. Just look at the photos below to give you an impression how high this Cologne Cathedral http://mikemui.multiply.com/photos/album/38/Cologne_Germany Wed, 15 Aug 2007 07:02:56 -0000 After the whole Sunday morning in Amsterdam, we ended up in Wesel Germany where most of our time spent for the training. It was a great evening when we reached there ....... great sun! As it was also the last day of school holidays there, the town folks were having parties and fun-fare. The Hotel where we stayed is called Welcome Hotel and located along the famous Rhine River. The photos below were shot around the Hotel, Rhine River and The Factory where we had our training. Oh yeah, we commuted by train to the http://mikemui.multiply.com/photos/album/37/Wesel_Germany Wed, 15 Aug 2007 06:12:55 -0000 Got this great opportunity to go Europe for company training from the 4th-12th August 2007. Our first stop was Amsterdam, then Germany (Wesel, Cologne & Bocholt) and finally Paris France! Arrived Amsterdam early Sunday morning of 5th August 2007. The weather was great, sunny but cooling! Then we were brought to the Canal to have a Boat Ride, with breakfast on board, served by 2 beautiful waitresses! Must admit that Amsterdam is rich for its Canals and Bridges. Later we visited the RIJKS Museum on paintings, followed by the Diamond Factory (both not my cup of tea though ....... Ha!Ha!Ha!). After lunch, we headed for Wesel Germany where our training was held http://mikemui.multiply.com/photos/album/36/Amsterdam Wed, 15 Aug 2007 05:29:43 -0000 I'll be in Europe from the 4th-12th August 2007 for my company's training.

Went to Wuxi (the biggest standing Buddha Statue), Suzhou (the Leaning Pagoda and the Eastern Venice), Shanghai, Huang Shan (Yellow Mountain, where I experienced snow for the first time), Chang Zhou and Xuan Cheng. Went there with my fellow colleagues Low, Theresa and Yvonne. BTW, the photos were taken by my colleague using PnS camera, Canon IXUS 500. Didn't bring my camera as I was thinking, "What's so great and nice about China?" ....... Ha!Ha!Ha! But this trip really opened up my mind and I really regretted for not bringing my camera. But anyhow, the public toilets in China really SUCKS! Even at tourists attraction places http://mikemui.multiply.com/photos/album/21/Shanghai_China Sat, 5 May 2007 02:15:04 -0000 My son ....... was born on the 7th. June, 1999.
