While waiting for my buddy, I loitered around Bugis Junction (a shopping mall in Singapore) last Friday when I thought I saw a familiar face of a blogger. I knew he works in London and he is back in Malaysia during this period, and he will visit Singapore too. To confirm, I stalked behind him,…

Bad weather in Penang
Floods and landslides hit Penang on our second-day stay over the Hari Raya week. The downpour was the “echo” from the tropical storm in Vietnam. The sun was hidden behind the thick rainclouds. The sky was gloomy and it rained cats and dogs whole day. It was a bad time for travellers like us. Boring…
The Good Thing About Blogging!
One good thing about blogging is we get to know friends from all over the world. Yesterday, I received this lovely parcel that had flown a long way by FIRST CLASS from Honolulu to Singapore! The sender is none other than our favourite blogger – Bridge! We love visiting her blog; it’s just so original…
Kimberley Street Hawker Food
Kimberley street has lot of good food! However, just like many famous stalls in Malaysia, those hawkers only start business at night. So, forget about dieting in Penang. It’s supper time! It was drizzling, but that did not deter our eating mood to try out those authentic Penang hawker food. The popular stall selling Duck…

Taiping Lake Gardens
Taiping is also famous for its Lake Gardens. The park sprawls over 62 hectares of land and is one of the largest and oldest parks in Malaysia.

Road Trip to Taiping Malaysia
As we drove out of Ipoh, we stopped over in Taiping (太平) for photo-taking before we proceed to Penang island. Taiping literally means “PEACE” in Mandarin! It used to be the capital of Perak, after it took over from Kuala Kangsar. Now Ipoh is the state capital. Taiping town with rows of rustic shophouses. What…
