My 24Hrs in Penang.

Extended 1 day to do MY STUFF. I tried following the street art leaflet for 30mins. Really, it is everything you will see in tripadvisor. Kids on bicycle. On swings etc... I didn't like 1) the physical pcs like bikes and swings, what is it really?!! 2) exact locations are pinned and you do not have any element of surprises...


So. I sidetrack. Google the urban Xchange. Since 2014, group of international artists did annual event in Penang. I remembered it being decent..So, here you go. Nagor area, is the place I went. Something different from the usual, if you are following me..


Scorching sun. Followed by seasonal rain. I will not try to bluff, it is not pleasant. But these art. Grows on me. Is my mental food.


So, it doesn't dampen my mood. I am determined to find this. It took me awhile(in the rain) to find her...I hope, with the below picture, makes it easier for you..


Art is personal. I like it best. When you blend the specifics of the wall, to your art. Above is by an Australian artist. RONE. One who blend the decay with beauty. There's plenty around, but I am showing my favorites.


I am excited when I saw this....I nearly gave up!! Called for a selfie.


Then, I headed to Jalan Selamat. It is 5mins walk from Nagor. I came yesterday with some Malaysians. This is the best Char Kway Teoy in town, but it does not come cheap. 10 ringgit. Hence a lot of locals are boycotting this place. Still, Uncle E likes it best here, they are still using a charcoal stove. Impressive isn't. As I am close by, I came for a second plate, before I leave Penang. What I like: the wok taste, spicy and the kway is just the way I like, dry but not too oily. Remember, it's called cafe Heng Huat. FYI, I asked them about the best Assam laksa. So, it is in a wet market... Rich, flavorful, going for 3ringgit. But the environment, is C minus. So, I didn't bother to ask the address..


Next. Back to the tourist area.I need my daily fix. Went to Sleeping Victoria. Decent cup, but wasn't the champion baristas kind definitely. Still no doubt good service and environment...Heard about ALLEY. But, I can't be bothered to hunt.


Ended. With some takeaway. Mobile Lok lok stall. I would have enjoyed it @ site, if I wasn't caught in the rain and such.


Time. For Australian Open. Murray winning....

Traveling with senior citizens...

Good. They will bring you to places that you won't not go. And it turned out to be awesome. The teochew porridge... Is must try!


Me:I want to go to cafés.
D: Ok can. I know 1.


Feeling satisfied with their jackfruit cake. I asked: what is your wifi password.
Gal: We don't have wifi here.

Traveling with senior citizens. Hooray!

Coffee Atelier, Penang.

So, I ditch the modern, and stayed in a shophouse. Not a team player, I know.


It is not frequent, that I will have the opportunity to stay in 1920s buildings... So, I do have a valid reason.


I love this place. It's in original condition as much as possible. Has character and makes you feel as if you are staying in a living museum.


I have always dreamt about owning a piece of heritage; Peranakan house in Tembeling. After this stay, I realized. Maybe it is not for me. I am pretty sure, I will get visits from rats. Or stray cats... Unless, if I own Cami.

Coming to an end...

I am forever fond of Bangkok. Haven. Anyway, coming to an end of my stunt.. I am not at all regretting. So, it is a good decision. However, timing wise, I could have done better. This, makes me unhappy...


So. Dao. Local brand coffee chain. Spent about an hours there, mind in blank. That's called relaxing,isn't?

TGIF tomorrow

Vask, Manilla

I never stepping foot in Phil before. Anyway, I can't said I seen much. Mainly commercial district. But, Markie's reco is always Michelin star!


Vask-Spanish. Fusion. Ex El Bulli. I can't complain much... My fav is 60 degrees egg, it taste Unami like~, it's molecular. Imaginary. And e above. Risotto. Ink squid. Very straightforward. Filling. Fresh scallop.

Over weekend, I learnt: when someone loves you. It means, they see something in you, that is worth something. - sort of add value to you.

The view known as forever-- Mohonk

It took me 5 mins to realize how lucky I am to be here. Okay, so the cheapest room is 600USD per night.


Then, the trek. Is known to be one of the best in United States of America.


It is this view that people called. Forever. I still believe. Nothing is forever. But time. Certainly stop there. For a few seconds.


I took in that moment. Thought of my loved ones. Missed them..


Been in NY for 1 week. Back HK on Sunday morning. I can't believe I am leaving for Manila in less than 24hours. Disposable panties, you are so my only friend on this country road--

Sunday in New York

I didn't have the chance to tell you all about this. Lucky me, I never suffered jet lag. Destined for a traveling job, isn't.


So I arrived in NYC. When asked about what to do. You said. If it's me, I will..


Have a kick start breakfast at Penelope. 159, Lexington Ave. I must say, isn't a bad choice if you don't want some food chain lookalike.


Rustic feel. I like e waffles with orange butter. Yumz!


Then, it's time for soul food. I arrived at church. Exactly e one you mentioned. Still remember John Paul. Brings me back to the very day at Vaz.


I stayed for 45 mins. I surprised myself. Who is to say. Anything. About everything. Goodbye NYC.
