Road Trip: Penang – A Photolog
It was an impromptu trip made on the 11th hour before departure to the island of Penang, a 5hour odd drive from Kuala Lumpur. It was a nice journey as it's been 2 years since I last stepped into Penang. I would not write much about it as you can search through the multitude of blogs and websites telling you →
Huge Tree Shaded Weld Quay Seafood
The talking point of this restaurant is the huge tree that this restaurant was build around as well as the use of an abandoned burnt down building as it's site is another. Of course, the seafood is also important but still, any tourists that walked towards that restaurant would just gawk at the way the place was set-up before ordering →
Sri Kamala Vilas Restaurant @ Little India, Singapore
While I was in Singapore, I met up with Nicolepoopoo and she wanted to try indian food for dinner. As I wasn't familiar with Little India area, we decide to do a search on the computer for a restaurant to go to. The restaurant of choice? Sri Kamala Vilas Restaurant, which is practically everywhere we go. There's a total of 2 →
Road Trip: Pulau Pinang – A Video of Kek Lok Si Temple
Over the weekend, I went on a road trip to Pulau Pinang. Approximately 330km from home. While there, decide to make use of my compact camera and use it as a video recorder. It doesn't provide us with the best quality video but heck, this is just for self indulgence and I'm not shooting this for any TV series so →
Satay Celup @ Restoran Capitol Satay
The line stretches along the row of shops leading to the restaurant, people standing by the roadside with cars speeding past them. All with a hungry look in their eyes, aiming and talking and plotting on how to maximize the space on the table with food. This is not a script from a local drama, but it's a local scenario that →
Road Trip – Malacca
It was an impromptu decision but felt that I needed it badly and so on a nice Friday morning, I went off on a Road Trip down to Malacca, the land of Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat and Satay Celup (a post on that will come shortly after this). As I wasn't familiar with the Malacca town, I just spend →
Pudu Prison – A Heritage We Won’t Have
The amazing thing how news travel through the internet when the Government announce that the Wall of the Pudu Prison (more fondly known among the locals as the Pudu Jail) will be torn down, and this activity will be followed by the complete destruction of the Prison to make way for residential and commercial buildings has created a 'feeding frenzy' →
Bird Park with the Monsters
After the disappointing outing at the Zoo, decided to bring the kids to a nicer place which I would think that they'd like. So it was off to the KL Bird Park we went on Saturday. With @Jessbabe tagging along for the adventure. It was cute to see her walking with the two monsters and you have all those guys →
Along the Lojing Trail
The following black and white photo series is from a recent trip to the Pos Brooke orang asli (Malaysian Aborigines) settlement in Lojing.

Having able to spend a day with them, we have come to realized that →
Lojing Aboriginal Kid
Some of you might know that at the moment, I'm traveling from KL to Cameron's Highlands to Gua Musang and end the journey in Kota Bharu. Yesterday was the day we spend a fair bit of time at the Lojing Orang Asli Settlement, located between Cameron's Highlands and Gua Musang. One of the activity I plan to do on this →
Song of the Sea @ Sentosa Island
After the visit to the Universal Studio Singapore, we decided that since we still got time and since we're in Sentosa Island, might as well not waste the opportunity to head down to the Beach area to check out the Song of the Sea performance. It's held nightly at 7.45pm and 8.45pm rain or shine. Yup, even if it's raining →
Sights & Sounds of Universal Studio Singapore
The journey started from Vivo City where we hope onto the Monorail that cost us SGD3 and it dropped us off at Waterfront Station. The entrance of the Universal Studio is just a few steps away from the entrance of the Monorail station so it's quite convenient. As we walked in, the first sight that greeted us was the huge Universal →
Chinese New Year 2010 Celebration
The 2010's Chinese New Year was slightly different compared to the previous few years. Different cause this would be the 1st year I am able to celebrate Chinese New Year with my kids and it's also the year I have to rush between work, short holiday and work. Even on the 1st day of the New Year, I had to spend →

The Taste of Vientiane
Saving the 'best' of my Vientiane post for last and the best I'm talking about is food! The major importance whenever we travel to a foreign country is to try the local dishes. Right? Sadly, when you follow tour guides, they tend to bring you to places where you eat food you can always eat back home. The 1st night I →

I am not touching on the places I've visited for now but share with you some of the beautiful sun sets I've seen along the Mekong River on the 4 nights I was there traveling.

The Work Experience @ Vientiane, Laos
I know I don't write much about my line of work/business and I prefer to keep it that way, after all, this site is about myself, not what I do to earn my keeps. But once in awhile, I do come across some stuff that I'd love to share even if it's about my work. For those that knew me, they'd →
