Spring is here... And I miss California so... Some great memories back last year. The Lonely Cypress, 17 Mile Drive. Cannery Row, Monterey. And Robert Mondavi Winery, Napa Valley.

痛 在眼中变成泪 在心中变成灰没有什么能安慰 怕被时间变成累被想象变成悲希望都被粉碎 不安有时会崩溃 有时会怨慰好像怎么对待都不对 看的出你隐藏多少的疲惫却还是坚持着爱不断加倍让我感动也让我愧对 谢谢你们 爱我的每个人在我的人生最像一场噩梦的旅程陪我挣脱 勇敢地去醒来当我的护卫 为我祷告心灵更强韧谢谢你们 爱我的每个人让我努力后可以谢谢自己很坦诚会想不通 或绝望到躲开但你们做的 总让我想坚强负责任为了爱重生 心 摆脱夜的黑 往蓝天而飞被阳光包围只为了 你一句我笑得好美我忍住了 太漫长的泪 看的出你隐藏多少的疲惫却还是坚持着爱不断加倍让我感动也让我愧对 谢谢你们 爱我的每个人在我的人生最像一场噩梦的旅程陪我挣脱 勇敢地去醒来当我的护卫 为我祷告心灵更强韧谢谢你们 爱我的每个人让我努力后可以谢谢自己很坦诚会想不通 或绝望到躲开但你们做的 总让我想坚强负责任为了爱重生 ...谢谢你们...♥

Some blues at Hakura Huraa the world has never seen.And, will never see.No blue ever stays the same at Hakura Huraa. They were right about the sky and water. No blue ever stays the same here. All photos unedited and untouched for the first time. Too beautiful to spoil the original blue. 这里，蓝色一直都在变。所有的照片都没经过调色。蓝色都是原本的。变化多端，捕捉也有点来不及的感觉。 Sky at Periwinkle, sea at Air Force blue at the sand bank.

I will never quote my wedding as a fairy tale ending because it's only the happy start of our next chapter in life. Friends and family who know me well will understand that I would opt for a crazy dynamic wedding banquet rather than pretending to be an elegant Barbie doll whole day through! Good word to describe me -- SASSY! Even though when I've become the bride, I'm still a sassy bride! Lady

We decided to have a short session of post-wedding portraiture in Maldives since this is one of a lifetime thingy. 我们决定婚礼后在马尔代夫拍摄一集简单的蜜月婚纱照，因为这毕竟是一生人一次的纪念。 I had my make-up done in 20 minutes, all DIY. Hair as well. =) I chose to wear something light and short instead of long bulky gown, because our honeymoon was about sea and sunshine. The gown should bring out the vivacious side of me. Of

Though still feeling exhausted, I was waken up by the morning sun at 6am... Not that surprising though... it is only a mere 3128km between Malé and Kuala Lumpur but there is a three-hour time difference! Malaysia is probably already 9am. . . No wonder the sky was so bright. . . 虽然很累，但清晨六点钟已经被阳光晒醒了。。。 不出奇吧。。马累和吉隆坡只相差区区那3128公里，却有三个小时的时差！ 大马大概是九点了。。。难怪这么亮。。。 I really wanted to stay in bed, but

We departed to Maldives two days after our wedding, that marked the start of our honeymoon. 婚礼后的两天，我们就出发到马尔代夫，开始了我们的蜜月旅行。 From Ipoh we took YoYo bus to KLIA, the most convenient way. 乘搭YoYo巴到KLIA，是从怡保到吉隆坡国际机场最直接与方便的方法。 Three hour of bus ride definitely made me sleepy... 三个小时的车程，开始觉得累了。。。 But still we're able to camwhore.. 但是还可以搞笑自拍。。 Baby was still very wide awake, he's gonna be my

When our Taiwanese friend was working here in Penang for 2 years, most of our eat outs were buffet meals. He said people in Taiwan actually likes buffet, they call it 吃到飽, meaning eat until full. Out of the many buffets we had, he found Xuan Xin as the best, in terms of choices and price. We've dined there so many times but this is only the first time that I'm writing the review. Choices of

Where to for a place to chit chat with your darlings while sipping tea in the weekends or free time? A place where you can do boutique shopping too, but away from the hustle and bustle in a shopping mall. Mom told me that she was here to check out some evening wear before, and asked me to pay a visit when I have a chance. So I did, we did, but we were here for a light dinner instead of tea time.

Looking for tantalizing spicy chicken in Bali? Then you must try Ayam Betutu Bali! I mean REAL spicy, one grade spicier than the Nandos Peri-Peri Chicken I would say. Ayam Betutu Gilimanuk (Bali style spicy braised chicken). This restaurant is located at the areas that is seldom explored by tourists. We were brought by our appointed guide here.

Located next to the entrance of Matahari Departmental store, this is a restaurant worth trying out when you do your shopping along Kuta Square. It can get really crowded in the evenings, but I found most of the diners would prefer to sit at the open air area, probably because you can feel the vibes of Kuta Square. But due to I've had enough of sunburn (now I look like a Red-Indian..), I

If you think food blogger shouldn't be slim... HELLO!! I still eat in the midnight okay!! Introducing the legendary Air Itam Duck Rice!! Legendary as of its business hour. Yes, business starts right in the midnight, to be exact, 11pm. You hear me? 11PM, not 11AM. The price may be higher than the usual, but that's still consider reasonable if you want good food at 2am.

Looking for Cantonese inspired cooking? Try lunch, dinner and supper here! It's about Chinese fusion cuisine, mostly Cantonese. For Cantonese cuisine, many cooking methods are used. The most favored ones being steaming and stir-frying, also shallow frying, double boiling, braising, and deep frying. Hmm... now I feel like heating up the wok for some cooking now. Hehehe...

This is one of the restaurants that I used to dine in at Queensbay Mall. First review on it but not the first visit though. First visit - being attracted by the name - Taiwan Bull, sounds cute. Then found the beef noodle not bad, but some people find the soup a bit sour, but I still like it. Then the Stone Rice is also a good choice. Other than these two I'm not that interested in the other

Spent 5 hours to filter out pre-filtered 300+ perfect shots down to 52 for only the best of the best. Phew... that's really a tough job! Why not getting more? Hmm....

The new Penang Hill funicular train service has been opened to the public from April 25 after the upgrading. Before the upgrade, the total journey uphill takes about half an hour, with passengers changing cars at the mid-point station. The train may stop at other

It was mummy's birthday~ We celebrated at Bee Won Korean Restaurant located at Royal Hotel Penang. Here they offer authentic Korean food with varieties dishes. This place recalls my splendid memories in Korea, just look at all the decorations, you'll feel like you're already in South Korea! The meal started off with servings of ban chan (side dishes). Most common ones are Kimchi and Shi Guem

Belated post of my wedding diary. Should be dated 12th May when published. We had our pre-wed shooting on 12th May. This was the second rescheduled session as the first one clashed with my US trip, while the second one clashed with 'cheng beng' month (parents nagged and forced to change date).

What to do.. so little time but I need to rush for so many things.. shifting house, wedding stuff, work, blah blah blah... and I need to say I have to reject one food review invitation, sorry Jacgy..

Ahem... what's new in Straits Quay? Charlie Brown Cafe? Yup. What else? There are plenty of places to try out coffee and to be lucky enough, I found another one which got my attention as soon as I came out from the car park yesterday. FULL OF BEANS, a cafe selling Handcrafted Specialty Coffee! Full of Beans is a place for the coffee aficionados. Here you will find coffee beans, equipment and

Have you ever think of having your high tea at somewhere serene and with the go-green concept, or perhaps some vegetarian or organic food? Next time when you go around the George Town Heritage area, consider to drop by at Water Drop Tea House for some organic drinks or the Fried Sesame Bao (bun). Believe or not, they serve the best sesame bao ever! I've always heard about how good their fried

Carmel-by-the-sea is often called Carmel, and very easy to mistakenly be called Caramel. I love its name, so sweet and relaxing. Don't you think so? Just use your senses to feel it, when I say, "Hey, I just come back from a vacation in Carmel." It sounds totally different from "Hey, I just come back from a vacation in New York.", isn't it?

This is one of my favorite place for Thai cuisine. They don't serve authentic Thai dishes but it's sort of a mix of Hakka and Thai cuisine, which I think, suits better for the local flavors. Located at the i-Avenue commercial shops, this restaurant is one of the popular place for lunch and dinner for those who works around Bayan Lepas area. The dishes are priced very reasonably, with a large

Two years ago during my first visit to the Golden Gate Bridge I wasn't very happy because it was drizzling all the time. The sky was grey and gloomy. And for someone who likes photography (like me), we usually prefer sunny blue sky with a dash of cloud for a good contrast. This day was exactly the very next day after the Tsunami in Japan. I received emails and messages left by friends telling me

Now I realize that most of my posts on food review are the restaurants in Straits Quay. The Charlie Brown Cafe post had burst my blog traffic in just 3 hours today! YES, IN JUST 3 HOURS. In the strips when Snoopy created some disaster and when the others yelled at him, he would always ask, "Why me??" "Because, HE'S YOUR DOG CHARLIE BROWN!!!"

I know that Charlie Brown Cafe （查里布朗咖啡馆）has become a hot topic in the town now. Located at Straits Quay, this outlet is the first of Charlie Brown Cafe in Malaysia. Surprisingly they open the first Peanuts theme cafe in Penang but not in KL. The other outlets that I know are location in Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and China. From the web and forums, I heard praises and grumbles from those

And a lady beside me is crying because she couldn't get a ticket to Nanchang from HK. Lots of China residents around, it feels like I'm in China more than in HK. The world has changed a lot.

I personally think that going up to THE PEAK is an excitement that you should try if you're travelling to Hong Kong. The venerable Peak Tram is, as most passengers agree, the only way to truly experience the beauty of Hong Kong's natural wonders. Tens of millions of people from every corner of the globe have taken the ride, which affords a uniquely spectacular perspective of the city. Located

The Bahia Palace is a palace and a set of gardens located in Marrakech, Morocco. It was built in the late 19th century, intended to be the greatest palace of its time. The name means "brilliance". As in other buildings of the period in other countries, it was intended to capture the essence of the Islamic and Moroccan style. There is a 2 acre (8,000 m²) garden with rooms opening onto courtyards.

I wrote a review on my dining list in Macau, but it ain't all the famous restaurant/cafe list available. I didn't purposely went searching for the recommended restaurants but I walked around and ate when I felt hungry.

At a quick glance it does look like Christmas Town to me, with stretch of light bulbs hanging across the street, from one building to another.. And I'm glad it was not crowded at all!

Colmar Tropicale snapshots. French Village under the sun. It was my birthday. Everything was perfect. Baby drove me from KL to Colmar Tropicale for my birthday celebration. I was still in Valerie's gallery doing the bride's maid gown fitting the day before, but this time around it became my turn to find a wedding gown. =p On the way up to Colmar Tropicale from Lebuhraya Karak (Karak Highway).

Breakfast. Sungai Tiram roti bakar (toasted bread and soft-boiled eggs). This is where I usually have my breakfast in the weekends - Joo Leong Cafe. It's well known by Penangites for its famous toasted bread, wipped with butter and served together with soft-boiled eggs. In the evening, this coffee shop serves their famous seafood porridge/noodles. My Rank: 3.5/5 Address: 179-H, Sungei Tiram

This was the trip where I said I DO. Exactly half a year ago, during my birthday, the start of a next phase in my life, soon will be the end of my bachelorhood. Colmar Tropicale is a very nice place for short vacation, for rejuvenation, for a romantic getaway. There's not just a French Village, but also a Japanese Village. And also a botanical garden amidst the Japanese Village. Located

The last time that I had Muslim food out of Malaysia was in Shenzhen. The Muslim food that I'm referring to is non-Malaysian Muslim food. And please don't be surprise, there are a lot of Muslims in China. It's religion, not about race ok. And I love their cuisine! Superb. So here's a newly opened Muslim food restaurant right here in Penang, with Chinese chef from China. It is absolutely halal,

I've dined in twice, because the buffet is very worthwhile and food tastes good. Localize Shabu Shabu with a very candy name - LOLIPOT. When I mentioned it fast, some people thought it's LOLIPOP. =P It's located at Bay Avenue, near Terminal One, entrance opposite OXO, and needless to say, very near to Queensbay Mall and Eastin Hotel. Loads of choices up to tens of types of fish/meat

While everyone else was busy with their make-up and still couldn't make up their mind that which dress should they wear for the X-mas eve dinner, we went right to one of our favorite place for our X-mas eve dinner. Indeed, it's Eighteen! Red Wine for the night. Should be Merlot, with a pinch of cherry-like sweetness. Cheers for Christmas! It's my final year Christmas celebration as a

I get to know about Ryan's Gourmet through MyDeal.com.my. I knew it's worth a try, and MUST try when you only have to pay RM10 for a 5 course Western Set Meal!! (Normal price RM17.50 for lunch or dinner dine in, not expensive though. This cozy restaurant is conveniently located at Farquhar Street (MWE Plaza), if the street name puzzles you, probably you're more familiar with where Bayview

I always think that Langkawi is a place for all purposes - romantic getaway, family gathering, friends outing, and even ecotourism. I think that I'm addicted to visiting Langkawi because in just 3 years, I've been there for 3 times.. I know it's not really THAT frequent, maybe some other people do it even more frequently. I just like being there, everything is just as calm. Eat, play, love.

(...continue from previous post) I love this scenic sunset at the jetty! The after shower me. It's getting darker and without DSLR images are not that attractive anymore at night... I didn't want to turn on the flash as I'd no longer able to capture the sunset color with myself right in front of the camera. Foodie time at 7 something. Rice cooked with the Bunsen burner. The rest,

The down to earth side of Penang Island. A hidden gem behind the vibrance of Georgetown. Pure sea, sand and sun. It's at the North-West Coast of Penang Island, overlooking Malacca Straits. In order to get there, this is where to begin. The jetty at Teluk Bahang. Nearby is the car park area for visitors. Park, pay and walk towards the Penang National Park entrance. For lazybones, you can

The most convenient way to travel in Hong Kong is by MTR. Get a tourist pass upon arrival, and go around Hong Kong Island-Kowloon-New Territory hassle free. Riding on an MTR. The interior. Captured are the colors of MTR stations that I transitted in the most recent visit (as 'recent' as half a year ago) to Hong Kong. The walls. Colorful mosaic tiles. Some of the stations

前言： 这是我期待了很久，写出来的“爱靓一族”分享心得。。我一向来很喜欢写的 topic，除了旅行、事物，就是关于美、关于 fashion。 虽然我并不是 fashion designer。虽然我不是 beautician。 我就是那么一个认为女人爱美无罪的女子。 这一篇写了很久才终于写完的文章。。一篇旅行和爱美的综合体。 很有满足感，希望你也喜欢。 * * *          * * *           * * *           * * *          * * *           * * *           * * *          * * * 你是否羡慕MM们的旅行照总是明艳照人？甚至有些简直像特地去拍写真集一样。关键在于你如何打包你的行李，什么应该带的，什么不需要带的。。 我每次旅行，基本上要带的东西分为三部分：衣帽首饰、护肤化妆、电子设备。

最近很蓝。。对，很懒又很蓝(very blue)，且今天生病了。。喉咙怪怪的！ 帖子更新速度好像也越渐慢了，所以今天一定要上传些什么的啦。 我的漂亮宝贝星期六就出嫁了，我的确很紧张。。 （不是我出嫁干嘛那么紧张呀？） 因为。。我必须走教堂。。而且还要比新娘走在更前面。。 万一摔了一跤。。怎办？！！婚礼就此破坏了。。噢。。 哎。。别想不好的事情了。先 update 一下越南的游记。。 写了停，停了写，还好就来到尾声了。 x     x     x     x     x     x     x     x     x     x ...continue from previous post...

最近比较忙。。 或许该说，是非常非常忙！ 就来窒息了。。太多东西要跟进。。做也做不完。 所以想念休闲时刻，明天终于可以暂时放假咯~ 发现有点偏爱在桥上摄影。 这。。是槟城的天堂。 城市以外还保留着的绿色和蓝色。 和我一起感受一下家乡的大自然景色。 走遍南北，最爱还是槟岛。 Pantai Kerachut, part of the National Forest Reserve in Penang. **屠妖节快乐！下次再分享 Pantai Kerachut 露营游记。

My most recent biz trip to Singapore. A big surprise for me... as I had no idea of where the hotel is and how luxurious it it before I enter the lobby. =) I got the Shophouse room, very Peranakan style. Take a tour through my lens. I didn't bring my DSLR along, just taken with my little Lumix. Jump around! Jump around! You can even have a party in the room! 2 double beds! The bathroom.
