Decadence

The Majapahit Empire extended to Malacca during its13th century heyday. Not sure if its decline was due to decadence like what happened with the Roman Empire.

Gula Melaka or palm sugar is widely used in local desserts. This cake from Delicious Cafe is aptly named Gula Melaka Decadence. Sweet, sweet indulgence photographed with the 60mm Macro lens.

Old Cowboys Never Die, They Just Ride Off Into The Sunset

Cue the most iconic instrumental theme from a western ever; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Not all cowboys get to ride into the sunset, though. Some get hanged. The noose is actually a broadband fibre optic cable coiled up on a pole. Quite a common site in residential areas. Photographed this from the car during a traffic jam near the Taman Bahagia LRT station.
