An unplanned day

                 What are the better ways of spending your holiday morning other than reading and writing? Well, the idea of going back to bed and continue to sleep is tempting, but, I just had breakfast with Mom and it’s not gonna help of my wish to slim down due to my sedentary lifestyle. Besides that, I just realize that this is the third consecutive day I woke up around 7am. Guess my body has acclimatized to the intern life now!




Below are some of the pictures taken last Saturday during an unplanned trip to Georgetown, where we ended up snapping these random pictures at random streets in Penang. 

These street arts are trending in Facebook for quite some time now and I am happy to go out that day to see these drawings instead of slouching at home and doing nothing. 

               

 Little children on bicycle at Armenian Street
 Random caption: The bicycle is fixed on the wall! LOL
 Random wire art found on the wall of the nearby street


As the drawings are not painted on the same wall or walls within the same street, we just unplannedly walking up and down the street to see if we can find more paintings. 

 She is mocking at the boy who can't reach the hole. 
 A brooding old man? 
Mind you, not the guy who is wearing plaid shirt..

 They are my old old friends I know since secondary school/primary school. I am glad that I have them as friends as I wasnt a favourable character during secondary school time. Now, we always come out for drinks/food to catch up with each other whenever we have semester breaks and come back to hometown. 
 My favourite pic of the day!
I had interestingly captioned for this pic which I had posted on my Instagram
" Leisurely walking my raging dunno-saur"

Then we went to eat the famous Chendol which can be found a few blocks away from the street paintings. (forgive me, I forgot the street name) 
It is not as delicious as the one I tasted 3 yeas ago when I had a Penang food trip with my coursemate.



We had our dinner at Daorae in the evening.  
 If you have crazy KPOP fans friends, please expect them to drag you to the korean restaurant. 
 Korean food always come with side dishes 
 Random fried rice picture 
 BiBimBap 

 Collage I posted on my Instagram


 Dessert at Sweet Temptations Shop House. 
My friends say that I have huge appetite!!
FYI, I was a fat  fat fat boy. That's why the appetite is still potent in me. HAHHA.

A proof that I had gone to Penang?



Thanks to party that is ruling Penang now because of the improvements brought to the town over the years. I dont have to name the improvement here, but the street art is one of the example that manages to capture public attention and has become quite a touristy attraction. 

To know more about the street art, please visit here.

Being in Ipoh part 2

This post is mainly on the place I visited over the weekend. Beware, it's gonna be picture-ful post!
南香蛋挞- Nam Hiong egg tart
One of the recommended (by friends) food I must have in Ipoh. I like the egg tart because its crispy crust and it is filled with a thick soft, aromatic layer of egg. You may  remember I did mention this egg tart in my previous entry and wondering why I talk about it again this time. Aha. The purpose of taking this pic is that I want to show my mom how the scrumptious egg tart looks like - the thickness of the crust and its filling, as she is learning to make egg tart now! oh Nom~Nom~Nom~


Bear Tree 
A tree that bears the resemblance of bear head which can be found outside Kellie's Castle. It took me quite some times to figure out where is the bear head. Can you spot the bear head?

The interior design of their room (daughter, Helen and Son, Anthony ).. Wondering if the wall was meant to hold the big portrait of the family members! You can find 4 frames like the above in each room!

My favourite picture of the day- It kinda reminds me of the building in the music video of  We Belong Together sung by Mariah Carey.

Kellie's Castle 
Ticket price to visit: RM4
Attraction point: Come here to take some pictures with the partly ruined castle. The wine cellar is dark and exciting!!



Then, we stopped at Sauk and had the chance to taste the local food.
Fried and steam fish balls at a chinese restaurant in Sauk
I like these fish balls. They are springy as you sink you teeth in them!
Their signature tofu
MEH...it is so so...I believe my mom's cooking is way better than their SIGNATURE tofu.
百须公- river fish
It is nice with its sweet fresh flesh.
they say it is paku-pakis....but is paku-pakis edible???

Me finishing off the remnant


After having the delicious (I dont think it worth the money and effort to travel this far into the secluded village just to eat) lunch, we went to Lenggong, Perak to visit an Archeology Gallery.
Archeology gallery
The gallery features the 3 main prehistoric eras (Paleolithic, Neolithic and Bronze age) existed in Malaysia. 

One of the creepy skeletons found in the gallery. There are a lot of prehistoric tools can be found here!





Back at home at night, my friend's brother came home from Cameron Highlands and Ta-dah....
