This is the most breathtaking place I’ve ever been to in my life so far. If you really want to enjoy this place, book a room in one of the few hotels inside the park or apply for a camping ground many moons ahead. Here’s a great sound track from the movie The Sorceror’s Apprentice – Secrets by OneRepublic 
Santa Cruz Beach is a fun place. Lots of things to do if you have the time. A little too cold for me to take a dip in the sea. The best thing to do here? Get a lazy chair under a huge shade and just watch people. Should have tried the cable car. Looks fun. There’s a lot of seafood restaurants along the pier. Great place to have a romantic night out. Don’t you guys think 2010 have been blessed with a lot of good songs? Here’s Breakeven from The Script. Enjoy According to Deloitte’s recent report, Malaysia is not even in the list. Here’s what I think about each drivers for competitiveness: 1. Talent – driven innovation: Malaysia faces a serious outflow of highly skilled workers. 2. Cost of labor and materials: Nobody wants to be factory operators or cleaners or construction worker. Most factory labors are foreign workers. Engineers in factory are mostly supporting manufacturing activities and does not require very high skill. Their wage is not as low as say…those from Thailand or Vietnam. Why hire Malaysian engineers when people can hire Thai/ Vietnam engineers for half or 1/3 the cost? 3. Energy cost and policies: There’s a severe lack of initiative to promote green energy. Our petroleum reserves is running out. Cost of fuel will continue to rise. Policies to address this issue is non-existent or ineffective. You know what…I’ll stop here. Go read that report yourself. I’m always a strong proponent of creating our own industry and not continue to rely on foreign investment. If Malaysia fail to do this it might as well strive to become good at agriculture. I’ll make my vote count in the next GE. If worse comes to worst, an exit strategy is in order. 
The Muir Woods really remind me of Ewoks. I thought the trees were the biggest I’ve seen in my life…until I visit the Mariprosa Grove at the Yosemite Park. Will show you what I mean in the next post. The red wood is still pretty amazing on their own. Fire has been so much part of their life that they have evolve to breed through fire. Truly inspiring! I don’t normally like rap songs, but I like this one. I like the attitude that this song exude. Go google the lyrics and you’ll see what I mean. 
I felt “privileged” to be able to have dinner here. The thing about American restaurant is that the ambiance is almost always good. In Fishermen’s Grotto’s case, the view was good too. However, I kept ordering the “wrong food” in the states and therefore unable to fully appreciate their goodness. Either that or I was too pampered with Penang seafood ;P |
