The journey continue

After had some photo shooting on the twin tower, we moved inside the mall and enjoyed window shopping before went off to next.

We brought them to Aquaria, is a must when we are in KLCC. The entrance fee is RM10 differ with MyKad holder (RM35) and non-MyKad holder (RM45); we managed to get them MyKad rate tickets like us while the ticket-man was studied on my cross-ring. Woot! 

Found many of this hammerhead shark design lamps on the top of us, like the blue ray that make them look real.

We were lucky to bump into their daily feeding session, they prepare different kinds of fresh meat for their fishes and other species. 

Found this fake diver in the Oceanarium. It's a 90 meter transparent underwater tunnel with a moving walkalator to take us on our journey beneath the depths, we went inside twice to get better photo on the fishes. 

The entrance of the Oceanarium, a shark mouth! We love to act wherever we are, especially me they said.

I don't like huge jellyfish because they have long and yuckie stings, yet I can accept the tiny one, looks cute and harmless.

Spent around half hour at their souvenir shops but ended up bought nothing.

After the underwater journey, we went to Pavilion, we walked from KLCC over here, can't really felt my legs after this walk. 

The thing that never change in Pavilion, the water fountain right in front the entrance; I like it in red color. Peep the Uniqlo shoplot behind, regretted not to get a piece inside. Sigh.  

You guys should know what shop we were in with above photo, was likely to see them make the sweet but they took long time to finish.

I didn't get one for myself, but Jie Xiang and Lindsey did, for their friends and family. Yet, I tried a few in the shop, laugh. 

Rushing up to Tokyo Street before we were leaving for our dinner at Lot 10 HuTong; and surprisingly Kampachi is in Pavilion!

Can't really find stuff that I like in Tokyo Street yet it's another food heaven for food hunter. Lot of shops selling nice food.

Lindsey and Jerry found this Jumbo Wagashi interesting, they also have it in Taiwan, so they bought some to try on the taste.

While waiting for our Jumbo Wagashi, fainted to see they making the chocolate flavor wagashi, I'm not into sweet thing like this. 

Waited for around 10 minutes, ta-dah, our Jumbo Wagashi were done, I chose the original one; I did tried on the chocolate flavor, it taste good for a bite but in whole it will be a little bit too sweet for me.

That's all for the first day; we took monorail to our hotel, and they changed the access card to token, feel to keep one with me!

Always been here for last 3 years, so happy that we don't need to hustle in KTM, but just LRT and monorail for this trip.

. . . . . . . . . . .

More and more to come, with slow pace.

Hello, Kuala Lumpur

The day since our Taiwanese trainees came over company, we never fail them by bringing them walked around the beautiful island; this time, we were out from little island to bigger city, Kuala Lumpur. Only 2 of them were followed since their teacher also brought them to other places, yet we went more places than them; thanks to my colleague Jie Xiang, who been our driver for 3 days, approximately.  

Brought my fluffy bear along, and he provided a few pillows for trainees; that's how we spent 4 hours plus in the car before reached KL.

Our accommodation for 2 days in the center of the city, good thing about it is there have a few mini marts operate for 24 hours.

Our first destination of the day after touch down the city, KL Tower. It was like my first time stepped on this area, all the things seem so fresh to me, was wondered am I really not went to this place before. Laugh, the sign of short memory of me.

You will get to see the cultural village once you go to Level 1, didn't really walked inside the village, the broiling weather was killing me.

Found a area where Telekom display all the antique public phone in sequence from old time until now; the colors are nicer than now.

Pony ride is available at KL Tower, ain't sure about the price but I think it is not cheap to have a ride just in the car park area for one round. The ponies are cute but we feel that they are pity to endure the weight of tourists even-tho in the carriage. 

We parked our car safely in the hotel and used public transport to make our trip funnier, too bad only cab available in KL tower area.

Next stop at Suria KLCC, really miss those places where I used to go with my roomie, housemates, com-mates, and friends. Miss you!

Simply found a place to have our lunch at Signatures food court, heard that their Kuey Teow Th'ng is good together with popiah. 

Second round for our lunch at Sushi King, the little boy, Jerry yearned to try out the salmon as he claimed that Taiwan has the best Japanese restaurant with good quality of salmon provided. Yet, for me, as long as I get to eat salmon, I'll satisfy. Laugh. 

Professional photographer will take any pose they like as long as good photo are taken; all of us except Jerry running here and there to find a good spot to the the twin tower, while he helping us to carry bags and stuffs, oh yeah, and hiding under the shade.

Love this much, especially the metal-like dolphin. 

The cross-ring which I wore for whole trip, new love accessories of mine. Stay tuned for more posts on the KL trip with them and get to meet up with VIP on last day.

. . . . . . . . . . 

Good to have travel moment with them, great company and we made lots of laughter.

They ephemeral beauty

I only went for Bon Odori once, this was the second time; I just don't really like crowded area, somemore do not have seat provided. Yet, this time was something different, went there with friends and our Taiwanese trainee brought all their friends to meet up with us.

Our Penang CM was giving his opening speech for the event, like a star; everyone was paying their full attention on him, bravo.

Every year, a big stage on the center of esplanade field is a must, for the performance purpose; non-stop of musics and dances.

Found many kiddos wearing the kimono walking around, how cute! They even placed their fan behind the kimono belt, we also got our free fan from the booth and ended up place the fan in our pants or pockets, hilariously. 

Meet my trainee, Lindsey and her friend, Willy, he flied over Penang to look for them since he is in holiday now. Didn't have time to took group photos, they were running here and there for interesting stuffs, while we tried to find a seat in the middle of crowds.

Waited for hours just to see their beautiful fireworks, trainees said that this was much better than their fireworks in Taiwan. Proud! 

Our tiredness was slowly lick up our soul that night, but it was worth to wait until the end, for the beautiful thing. It did made me feel better even we were trapped in the traffic jam for almost one hour plus.

Ps: some of the photos were taken in wide screen mode. 

. . . . . . . . . . 

We shall go wild with fireworks as they will plunge into the sky and shatter the darkness.

Chew Jetty's mural

Went to Chew Jetty with friends a week ago before the Bon Odori, wandered around at heritage area and we had nice food along the way; food post not going to update over here. I'm going to become darker since I walk under the sun almost every week. Laugh. 

Another mural at Chew Jetty, he is no longer stay in Penang after he completed his task.

Going to stay at home for a few weeks, stop myself to hunt for more heritage places which I think I'll never can, so just let it be. Smile.

. . . . . . . . . . 

A good laugh is like a sunshine.

I'm still here

Few more pending posts waiting for me to finish, a short one for today; I'm still alive although getting busier from day to day. Glad that I still manage to have a short getaway to Kuala Lumpur with my trainees and colleague, gonna update it pretty soon, stay tuned. 

Photo taken at Chew Jetty, before went off to Bon Odori.

. . . . . . . . . . 

Still in holiday mood, damn! 

I want more trainings

Finished my 2 days short course aka training outside the island; feel bad for not going to work for 2 days, going to have lots of stuff to settle once I back to office next week. Not like other companies, they got accompanies during the training, I'm alone as I'm the only one to go for that course; yet knowing new friends did make me feel better. By the way, I'm the youngest among all of them!

First person to reach the training hall, was having fun on taking photos in the room.

Okay, one good thing about the training: we got plenty of tea breaks, which make me can't feel my hunger at all, along the day.

First time to try on this Tu Boh Sng (豬母霜) at Butterworth, which include steamed octopus, jelly fish and fish balls. It's really not bad, I'll definitely go back there for more, yummy! Started to miss the taste when I blogged about it at late night.

Was then going to Tea Garden with sister and brother-in-law for the Taiwanese dessert, my sister's favourite, but I was only go for Iced Peach Tea while they shared a bowl of dessert. Having little games with them, like scrabble and UNO cards. 

. . . . . . . . . . .

I started to miss my study life.

Sunny Hills killed my blue

Today is the first Monday that I don't feel blue, going to have ISO training on coming Wednesday and Thursday outside the island; a break like this is needed, sometimes when I started to feel that life is hard. Oh my, I need to hand in my report still, for the meeting.

Thanks to Mr. George who gave us this from Taiwan, the famous pineapple cake from Sunny Hills, real famous! Somehow, it killed my blue a little bit as well, like the wrapper where a meow and a buzz chase after the cycling man. That's how I define simple life.

. . . . . . . . . .

Feel coyly with all the compliments, yet thanks. 

Sticky, de caramelo

Forgot to update this once I got this present, oops. My late present received a month after my birthday, it's glad to have this in house although I'm not a candy girl; I like the bottle by the way! Thank you so much if you happen to read this post; yeah YOU! Laugh. 

Sticky become very popular in my company, nowadays.

. . . . . . . . . . 

Glad that my company dinner ended last night, beautifully.

An encounter at Tofu Cafe . Beds & Bikes

Wanted to stop for this cafe for quite some times, was attracted by its cafe name, Tofu Cafe . Beds & Bikes, wonder why they named it as Tofu. This cafe not only offers daily breakfast and snacks, but also dormitory rooms and bicycle rental services, like a hostel.

This is how the entrance looks like, located at the roadside, you'll spot it once you turn into Beach Street from Magazine Street, easily.

Found this little aquarium once I stepped into the cafe, which have their cafe name on it, and fishes swim happily, idly inside it.

Self take photos by the owner and mirrors are hanging on the wall, irregularly, yet full of artistic feel.

I believe that all the photos are taken by the owner, Joyce and Lucas; printed them on the canvas and they are for sale too if you want.

Found another column, some sort like a message board from customers / owners, found beautiful postcards there which I heart so much! One of them even have this words on it: "The seed of love . begins here", me love! I forgot to leave my piece of message there.

Empty wine bottles and coffee cups are displayed under the message board, wonder when can I start to collect wood stoppers.

Bicycles in the cafe! They have a food trail night cycling tour around these areas if you have more than 4 friends are interested about it.

Each of the table have a decorated plant in wine glass, a unique ashtray instead of a normal one, and lot of plugs for your laptop.

Beetroot with Egg Toast . RM10.90

They are selling Soup and Toast together for RM16.90, I think it was my first time to try on the beetroot, taste better with the eggs.

Soup of the day, Tomato Soup. Always if there are choices for me, I'll not go for tomato soup, but that time I chose this instead of broccoli soup, and it didn't let me down, taste good! You still can feel the tomato texture in the soup, slurp!
