BADE BYE TO PENANG and back to Ipoh for one night. The very next morning, the travel bugged me again... this time we drove up to the highlands, yes... Cameron Highlands! I had not been there for a couple of years already. The drive from Ipoh to Brinchang took more than an hour half to...
The gardenEasily one of the most beautiful parts of any home if done right. Equally horrendous If left entirely to its own devices. Those of us who have a garden always want it to look a bit better than it does. However, that might seem like a lot of work. In truth, it’s not going to get done without some...
MY PAST POST ON PENANG will be filled with none other than food that I have taken during my one week stay. Food that have made me grow rounder than before, actually I did not gain much weight, just rounder on my face, my expanded waist, a bigger tummy and... er... that is it! Parts that I wanted...
Ever since I injured my leg last October, I told myself that 2016 will be the year of recuperating and resting. When my friends asked me when I would be traveling again, I told them that I had a bit too much in 2015, going to three countries within a year, it has taken a toil on me. I have to...
ANOTHER ACTIVITY TO LOSE CALORIES IN PENANG is to walk up and downhill. Penang has a number of interesting parks and hills for one to keep fit and healthy. Among them, I specifically like to go uphill at the Air Itam Dam, just next to the Kek Lok Si Temple. Limited parking is available and...
What are the normal activities to do in Penang? Besides food, of course.... This time I had plenty to do, with all the "foodathon" going on, I have to do some "shedding off" calories too. It was raining that evening but that did not deter me from going to the gym in CRC aka Chinese Recreation...
SINCE MY GIRL HAS NOT BEEN TO BUKIT MERTAJAM BEFORE, the next morning we drove to the mainland to pay a visit. Using Waze, we found our way to a restaurant where we have our brunch. She has never been here but I remember taking my two sons to this place before. I think it has been few years...
THE HAKKA VILLAGE WAS SOON FORGOTTEN BY US... We aborted our plan to go into the village after hearing that private cars cannot go up, we have to go to this village via the Land Rover. The roads are narrow, we were told... so with tummies full after two durians, we made our way back to town.
MY NEIGHBOUR TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD VISIT HAKKA VILLAGE IN BALIK PULAU... Oh, I didn't know there is such a tourist spot up on the hills, all I think of is Durians when one mention Balik Pulau or Laksa. Since I am in the travel mode, I suggested to my friend who willingly oblige to go and have a look...
China is the largest exporter of wedding dresses in the world, the buyers from all over the country usually choose two places to find suppliers, and one is Suzhou, other one is Guangzhou. Guangzhou is the earliest wedding dress wholesale base and its industry is the most perfect, Jiangnan Avenue North...
EACH MORNING IN PENANG, I ALWAYS WAKE UP THINKING of having a hot bowl of Koay Teow Th'ng! The name is the same for every stall which sells KTT but the servings and ingredients may differ from one another. Since we woke up late that morning, we went to the stall off Carnarvon Street, hoping the...
AS EVENING APPROACHED, I had a nice dinner with a group of friends at Hollywood restaurant, Batu Feringgi. It was my second time eating at this restaurant, mainly Hainanese styled, I was told. I have not really tried much before and naturally I was looking forward to a night of new dishes. As...

THE NEXT MORNING AFTER MY BREAKFAST, I went to Times Square, Penang... I heard there was something interesting going on over there. The last time I came was when the Big Bad Wolf sales was going on. This time I did not know what they had in store, I just followed where my friend took me. No...
THE EVENING WAS STILL YOUNG WHEN our dinner was safely tucked in... what I need then was something cooling and one shop in Kimberley Street came to my mind.It was a weekday so the street was not as busy as during the weekends....But I said it a bit too soon...An hour later, I saw a tourist bus passing...
GOING TO GET SOME "FIRING" FROM WHOEVER ASKING FOR THE NAME OF THIS SHOP... Yes, I am the one who will get fired.... for I forgot to look at the name of the shop.... Too hungry perhaps.. Or too hasty to go off after dinner... Whatever it is, Hopefully someone can tell me the name....Having said that,...
In my previous post some time ago, I have tried a few products from Envirohome. They were sent to my son's home in Johor. I only got to use them when I go to Johor so I cannot really make some comments on them from my son. Yes, he is the one using all these home products. In fact he...
MY FRIEND WANTED MALAYSIAN FOOD... well, we did not have enough time to cover much cultural food except for Chinese. If she stays a week more, perhaps then we could have go for Malay and Indian food around here in Ipoh. And IF she stays for another week, most probably or should I say, FOR SURE,...
WE BOUGHT QUITE A LOT OF STUFF FROM BILLION SUPERMARKET and the shops around the vicinity. Mostly are Batik attires and they are selling at reasonable prices. By the time we reached home, it was almost evening and dinner time for us. I asked my friend what she wanted to try and she suggested...
AFTER OUR MORNING BRUNCH AT CHANG JIANG, we adjourned to do some shopping at Billion. My friend wanted to buy batik attires and I could not think of any other place but the shops around there in Silibin which sell nice and cheap clothing. On the way, we felt kind of thirsty. It must be the food...
