Dear Diary # 3



Kinda lack of feeding my bloggie now due to something something I'm busy with, the blog view stat make me feel like I should blog more often instead to get back to the normal level, laugh out loud! Ever-since the Penang second bridge collapse (in front of my company and I feel the shake my own!), I started to work OT just to avoid the crazy traffic jam and this make me feel lifeless. That's why I enjoy my weekends to the fullest to pamper myself; sometimes you might think that I play too hard but I'm actually get inspired by a term YOLO (You Only Live Once), so while I'm working hard, I should play hard to get my life balance. I shouldn't bla so much to make all the lovelies here get bored, so scroll down and skip the grandmother story here. 
 | water ubah in penang |
Do you still remember the 54-foot-tall floating rubber duck displayed at Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong? One month after they removed The Rubber Duck from Victoria Harbour, we have this Water Ubah at IJM Promenade until end of August. First time in my life I saw terrible traffic happen nearby that area because most of the people want to have a peek on this Ubah bird, believe me it's a good thing.

I changed my iPhone casing again, no more Starbucks casings as I decided to keep them for collection only, was really broken heart when I saw a scratch on the casing! Omgimgonnadie! So I put some retro element on my gadget even I'm quite into Korean style casing which are quite hit nowadays; I'll only put them on next time if I make this spoil. 
 | so called holidaaay |
Been to Sabah with a bunch of mates for one reason, definitely not for a play-trip purpose yet we still had fun throughout the weeks. They make me feel like I was a princess, I think most probably I'm the youngest among them and I really do like them a lot; hope that I can meet them again elsewhere and I miss them a lot from the day we apart-ed at KLIA. Will compose a Sabah post to show some photos soon and Triumph In The Skies 2 (衝上雲霄2) is showing now, I'm currently at Episode 5!
| hi-tea at cbtl |
Went to Neway with pals and I'm kinda addicted to singing again after so long although my started-to-be-sore throat did make me suffer awhile during that time. The food they served in Neway just couldn't fulfilled us, that's why we decided to have a second round at CBTL. I don't really like cakes except for mille crepe and cheesecake; the Chicago Cheesecake is quite awesome and melted in mouth. 
| heal my crave |
I craved for Japanese food for times and I knew I might gone crazy if I didn't have a bite on salmon sushi. So, we had a great lunch just now at Azuma just to heal my craving towards sushi. Photographed on my seafood fried rice before I finished it in a second, laugh! I'm a happy girl today and this make me to stop procrastinating and have this post done.

Simple luncheon at Levain Boulangerie Patisserie



Finally finished all my small trips (within Malaysia) from here to there, it's time to have a little break and share all my stories with my dearies before I pack my luggage again for another trip. Traversing the space time and poof we are here in Kuala Lumpur for their food. 
 Here it is: Levain Boulangerie Patisserie which I wanted to go since my uni life; I had lots of chances to go KL yet each time we can't make it to Levain due to time constrain. This time, we tried to make it and with the help of Waze we managed to look for this colonial style bungalow restaurant. We were facing hard time to look for one parking slot, as you may see the car park provided by Levain is crowded and full even it's during weekdays, crazy no?
You can choose to dine at outdoor or indoor, personally I prefer indoor during the sunny day; I sweat a lot in this kind of weather. I was so scare that we couldn't find a table and we didn't make any reservation before that, somemore it's during lunch hour! 
You will see this board once you step inside Levain, here's the steps to guide you on how to place your order, do not worry if you are the first timer over here. You may take the 'Occupied' tag from condiments counter and place it on your table so that other diners would not take your seat when you are off to the counter; so caring right? We didn't took one, we straight away went to the table once we saw someone paid their bill and we took their 'Occupied' tag. Laugh
I was so excited to see so many kind of pastries and cakes being displayed on the tray, I had no idea what to eat, too much for you to choose one. That's why I skipped their pastries and directly grabbed my food from Hot Kitchen; we were rushing to another place to meet up some friends, will go Levain again for second visit if possible. There's a fridge that full of handmade gourmet chocolates, take some of it and pay at counter if you wish to try them. 
Magazines and newspaper are provided in case you need some reading while waiting for your friends to come / food to serve. Cozy
Jasmine Green Tea . RM6
Creamy Seafood with Tomato . RM13.90
Since we planned to have second round lunch with friends, so le boyfie and I decided to share a set of lunch. We can actually skipped this Levain lunch but he insisted to bring me over there since I crave to have a peek on how Levain looks like; so nice of him. So he just sitting there and wait me finished my meal, of course he did have fun with camera feature tho. I used to have bolognese spaghetti but I found out that I actually heart the creamy stuff more. Nowadays I always go for creamy / carbonara sauce, it's so awesome! If by chance I can visit Levain again, I'll try their pastry then. See ya!

The 101 Lost Kittens Project : Mural Hunting Game



Hello I'm back with more stories now, but before I go on with those new places I went, I wish to share something before it's too late (it's on tomorrow OMG!). In some of my friends' eyes, I quite into those heritage and vintage stuffs, that's why if they knew there is something (suit me) going on, they will pass me the message or signal. Glad to have them in my life. 
When I was nearly fed up with those paper works in my cubicle, one of my colleague passed me this colorful leaflet and I straight away magnetized to this instead of those paper works. There are lots of events holding in Penang under the George Town Festival 2013, one of it is the Mural Hunting Game. The due date is on tomorrow (29-Jun-13), and I hope it's not too late to share this, you still have few hours to go and complete this by tomorrow morning! I drown in guilt. The treasure hunt is an integration of street art, treasure hunt, game, and public awareness campaign all taking places along Penang's Victoria Street. You may refer the map of these murals from here so you don't get lost. You may refer to 101 Lost Kittens for more information about the treasure hunt. 
These are the steps to help you win in the contest. First, you need to download the Muzy app from the App Store or Google Play. Once you download the Muzy app, you can sign in either through your Facebook account or create a new account with your email address. Personally, I feel that it's easier to sign in with your Facebook account, all it needs is a 'click'. After the sign in session is done, select the 9 frame Photobox for this contest. Now you can head to Georgetown area (there will have 11 mural paintings | miao miao paintings | scattered all over Georgetown area) to snap snap snap. All you will need to snap is 8 photos of the murals and 1 sculpture. The sculpture is actually the Mama Cat sculpture which will only be released on the 29-Jun-13. So stay tune to their Facebook page to find out the location of the mama cat! Once you are done with the photo, upload the photo with your full name as seen on your IC to facebook.com/101lostkittens on that day! 

You can win the limited edition Switch Their Live T Shirt if you are the first 200 contestants to upload the 9 frames photo. There will be a lucky draw for all the participants at 5pm for 3 Grand Prizes. Why wait? Let's go and get the murals now! Oops, before I end this, I would like to say that this project is actually sponsored by China House, LASSie, Switch and George Town Festival. Visit their page for more info and I hope you enjoy the game to the fullest. ^^

Breakfast Bar at Langkawi



I'm going to have a post about where to breakfast in Langkawi which I promised before, and you may read another breakfast place which I recommended before over here, yup Red Tomato is it. I always love to have Asian style food as breakfast, we can easily get it over here. Yet sometime I love to have Western style food for breakfast pulak; if you wish to have both style as breakfast then you must go to Breakfast Bar. We went there during our last day at Langkawi, yum yum!
You can spot it with their bright yellow sign board and there is a buffalo standing in front with some kind of yellow magic broom (?). There is something I really heart about, the sign greeting with different languages, found language that you familiar with? 
Not only foreigners or tourists, there are quite a lot of local people visit Breakfast Bar for a cuppa or chit chat. Due to a flock of diners, I felt that the owner/staffs having some difficulty to serve all of us; we waited to place order, wrong breakfast were sent to us, no dishware for us and etc. Hire more staffs should have abstain this to happen (my thought), who care, let's continue with the food!
Langkawi Breakfast . RM10
All of us still stick with western style breakfast, because we don't want to have heavy/oily food as a start up for our day. Let's start with their langkawi breakfast, it comes with 2 toast, butter, jam, slice of chicken ham, slice of cheese and your choice of 2 eggs (either fried, scrambled or boiled). This set of breakfast is come together with coffee/tea. The scramble egg is way better than fried egg, all my family members had this set, but I chose to have another one. 
Turkey Ham, Cheese Sandwich (RM6) & Plain Omelette (RM3.50)
My sister said that I had a fulfill breakfast for that day, I was indeed. But too much of cheese nearly burst my stomach. Should have order their pancakes, heard that their pancake is quite good tho. You may have other side orders like sausages, baked beans and etc.
Natural Yogurt with Fresh Fruits . RM7
Since I didn't have breakfast set, so I don't have complimentary coffee/tea; and I ordered this healthy stuff for myself, really Western style! The yogurt is quite watery, didn't feel that I'm actually eating the yogurt btw and it's quite sour! I mixed the fruits together on every bites, to kill the sourness; it's because of they serve natural yogurt that's why it's so different from Nestle type of yogurt? No idea.
Phew~ I'm going to end this post with this beach view. Every time I see this kind of scenery, I feel that I found the sanctuary in life. ^^

Langkawi Wildlife Park Experience



Oopsie, haven'd done with my Langkawi posts, I'm gonna slap my mouth on procrastinating all my posts again. Laugh. So despite of those hot spots in Langkawi, I seldom see people recommend about the Wildlife Park, so I decided to write this out because all of us really had fun there. We gave it a visit before we aboard and we thought we will only spend the most 1 hour inside the park; end up we spent almost 2 hours inside. We used up quite some time to look for the Wildlife Park, luckily we didn't lost in the mid of jungle.
The weather was berry hot when we were there, please don't be so happy when you saw the building and thinking of finally you will have air-con area. Yeah, you will have it at entrance hall but once you get through the gate, you only have the natural air accompany you again. Laugh. The first thing that fall into your eyes is not animal but the booth that selling all food stuff for animals; we bought one (around RM6) to share thinking of should be enough, yet we were wrong, we wished we can get more at the end of the visit. 
Le daddy was feeding the macaw, I was a little bit scare of their beak which is so hard; I always took back my palm when they about to eat the peanuts. Hahaha! Don't be scare as per le daddy the macaw use their tongue to take the peanuts, not beak. The most enjoyable moment was during budgerigars feeding, you may put corn seeds on your palm, as many as you can; raise your hand up high, within few seconds you'll see group of budgerigars cease on your palm and start eating. The highest record we got is 3 budgerigars in one time, you can slowly move around so that you wouldn't beat them up; they will finish all the corn seeds and fly away. So cute!
Here they don't have big animals like what we can see in Zoo Negara but those small animals are more than enough and they are energetic all the time, moving around and waiting you to feed them. Om nom nom. I like the mandarin duck very much, I didn't saw them until le mom say: see the mandarin duck, in pair one, in pair one~ yeah, they always move around in pairs.

The feeding food got a lot of varieties, that's why whenever you go, you can also use the bag of food to feed animals. Cool right? So let's give it a visit now!
