About an old church,about a soul singer.

When we got there,had a many kids were playing and shouting.

Because St.Paul's church is in the high land,when we arrived ,i was so tired and hot.

At that moment,i felt a very gentle breeze..so cool!

I got a shock when i saw the church!In my mind St.Paul's church should be like other church,have colorful glass windows,a lot of benches to sit and pray for the believers,at least the church should have  ceiling!But here u cannot find anything ,just have exterior walls and looked like ruins.

But it has a power,u cannot describe but u can feel it when u stand inside.It's like a mysterious lengend,have a lot of stories inside,god gave us.

(If u wanna go to St.Paul Church,it's very simple.The church is near the  old downtown,u can take a taxi to this address:Jalan Parameswara Melaka.All the time is free.From here,u can overlook the whole scenery in Melaka,and here's the best place to take pics,a lot of couple take pics here.)

Lee was in the pic by accident~aha

We saw a lot of primary school's students there,they dressed the uniforms and looked very cute..they spoke loudly and made the St.Paul Church ruins more active.

There's a middle-age vagrant singer sat there,he played the guitar very nice!when i saw him,he was playing a Chinese song<XIAO WEI>,it's very classic song in China,everyone can sing it.

 

 He's different,i don't know why.I saw so many "street singers"before,but no one was like him.maybe coz his smile or maybe the his place is so wonderful and special,anyway,i moved a lot.

"Great!can u play again,sir?"i asked.

"Ok,you wanna sing with me?"he said.

"No problem."i said.

He played again and all Chinese sang with him,it's quite cool!

Then he played <HOTEL CALIFORNIA >,i was really into his play and his voice.

How can a vagrant singer looks so happy?I think about that.

He doesn't have anything but he is happy.He enjoy his life and i can feel he loves his life.

Don't complain the god gives u not enough,just u want too much.

I looked around the ruins,i imaged the picture of here maybe 200 years ago.

They also played guitar and sang songs very happliy!they can speak a little bit Chinese.

I heard about the St.Paul Church was built in 1511 by Portuguese general Duarte coelho ,it's the oldest buiding in Southest Asia which was built by European.

There's a statue in front of the Church,it's the  missionary SanFrancescodiAssisi,he was buried in the St.Paul's hill.

Because of a lot of  wars,St.Paul's Church had already become the ruins,but i still can see the pic in my mind.

Everything was quiet and white,everything was new.The goldfather was in the Church and the people prayed,everywhere in the church was smelling like flowers,everyone was smiling.

So nice!

It was the time we need to come back,my friend told me when she was here last time,she saw a couple took photos here,it was really romantic,something made me think about'forever'.

I said goodbye to the singer,he's song was going on.

He gave us a smile and said'enjoy your life'to us.

'U too,man'we said.

I'm sure he will,he will enjoy his life and his song with the wonderful ruins,he can overlook the whole Melaca on the St.Paul's Church,at that moment,the whole world belong to him!

(If u are a shutterbug,u must go to St.Paul Church,it's almost become a symbol of Melaka.In there,u can take really artistic photos!And the traffic is really convinient.Don't miss it!)
