Sekeping Victoria Penang

Sekeping Victoria is not a new place in Penang, but previously a venue for art exhibitions, events, loft gallery etc. 

So they just recently started their cafe two weeks ago as told by one of the crews.

It's my first time here and I am so in love with their rustic woody interior! Quite a cozy and comfortable place to chill at in a fine afternoon. 

The space is surrounded by tiny trees, it feels as if you're having a cup of coffee in the middle of jungle. Naturale environment I'd say. lol. 

Had a double scoop ice-cream coconut + matcha flavor (weird combi I know) at RM4.50 

Didn't get to try their food and coffee as I was pretty full that time. Hope to try out their menu some other time! Perhaps, let me know your feedback after trying them? :D

云南 | Day 3 严家大院， 双廊

大理最后的早餐-青石桥豆粉，据说很出名，但是我们都觉得一点都不好吃。而食物照应该是忘了拍xD

包车到双廊洱海去要 140元。路途经过三塔，拍了拍到此一游照就走人 

又经过了喜洲。来到大理，请务必到严家大院参观张家园。据说是很有钱的白族建的。

他们的宅的确很大很特别

这，就是我们在双廊的住宿啦。已介绍过，可读这篇。

这里就是海地生活，只能说，我大爱这个地方！风景太太太赞啦！ 连不爱摄影的也会在这个地方拍个够。

在海地边听音乐，边看海，边写明信片，是人生一大享受啊！灵感会不停地涌上来。只能说这是我爱的生活步调。

只有在外国会做的事情，在他们的lobby heaa 成这样，超自在的，因为没人会认得我嘛:p

永远不会忘记，当关上所有房间登，躺在地上观星星的那一幕！

超！漂！亮！

很可惜相机永远比不上肉眼。

Dream Trip to Macau

I have been to Macau once, which was four years ago. However, it was quite a rush day trip! Just randomly checking on Nuffnang page today and noticed that Nuffnang is helding a dream trip to Macau contest! Hehe.. so here comes a chance to try my luck. 

Well, if I were given a chance to travel to Macau again, I would want to do these three amazing things that I regretted I never did / could have done during my last trip in Macau which are:

1) First thing first, I want to MUST challenge bungee jump sky walking lahh. Bungee jumping is out of my limit, I'm not ready for it yet. Fyi, I have height phobia. So, skywalking is considered a tough task for me already. I still remember how my lips turned white when I was up at their bullet proof floor glasses of Macau Tower! Well, I really want to overcome this phobia and get the feel of adrenaline rush once in a life time. My life is too dull and boring lately. Hence, I need something to spice up my life now :p

If you are interested, you can read up my previous Macau post here mentioning that I really regretted of not trying it after I came back! Also, it would be a real DARE for me if I'm chosen to be one of the lucky winners. No worries, I will confirm taking up this challenge this time and be sure to take a breathtaking panaroma skyline view of Macau as a proof of achievement then xD

2) Eat Portuguese egg tart all day and night, and explore their food culture! It was sad that I was short of time back then to do food hunt marathon in Macau plus I had not had enough of my Portuguese egg tarts yet!! Would love to go back again and explore all the food I had missed out last time. I have always loved hongkie's style restaurant vibes. 

3) Want to explore the hidden gems in Macau. During my last trip, I just managed to visit their famous Ruins of St. Paul's, Senado Square, a church and The Venetian. I'm a photography / instagram junkie if you don't know and now you know :p I woud love to explore their lorong kia (alleys) which I didn't get to explore and take pictures last time and document every beautiful corners of Macau, be it UNESCO buildings, streets, churches & temples, people and lifestyle of Macau.


Why Nuffnang should send me this superb opportunity? Because, I, being a backpack traveler all these while, it is all about budget, budget and BUDGET on every single trip! It would be great if I had the chance to know how it feels like for having an all expenses paid holiday like a boss! :D



Lastly, a big thank you to Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) & Nuffnang Malaysia for hosting this awesome contest! Fly me to Macau pwetty please!! :D



All photos were taken by me back in year 2010 in Macau.

Lovely space near their work station. Wanted to sit here for perfect foodporn photos but I guess it is not worth to be melted under the hot sun :p

Leftovers.

Didn't know Nagore road has changed that much. They have new murals coming up too! I think it soon will be, well, another hot spot for tourists.

Other than parking problem, I haz nothing to complaint about. Duh~ all the cafes in Penang has parking problem. *inserts sarcasm*

Overall the food was good with huge portion. A I-will-be-back-again cafe:)

云南 | Day 2 洱海，喜洲，大理古城

到了大理，搭8号路公交直到终点站（1元）。在中国第一次搭他们的公交，战战兢兢的说。毕竟拿着行李巴士上人又多。但对我而言，这是背包客必须体验的！ 

客栈老板很体贴，知道我们在大理的时间不多，就和我们讨论了下行程。

大理的第一餐！它叫饵块。真心好吃。

租了两台小绵羊， 总共60元（整天）。跟你说个秘密，我并没有自行车驾照。还好他们也没有很严厉，要不然环海计划就泡汤了。应该是我学习能力强，当场没两下就上手了。嘻嘻

环海西路到喜州去咯！路途其实还蛮遥远的。但是沿路风景美到没话说。

喜洲，是个非常宁静又有文化的小乡村。

喜洲必吃的米线！非常地赞！话说我们非常地幸运，我们是最后的顾客，通常都很快卖完就收档。

喜洲粑粑。有甜的咸的。印象中好像是咸的比较好吃。

又骑了大概30公里路打道回府。

这就是3个女生的晚餐。

逛了逛大理古城，这里其实还蛮不错一下的咯。cafe很多，只可惜没时间探索。

买了啤酒，回客栈和老板和其他刚认识的同好聊天。这样就过了一天。

云南 | Day1 昆明-大理

KL-KMG

昆明常水机场那时候人很少，机场好冷清。机场厕所非常干净，超乎想象。梳洗后准备搭半夜火车到大理。

到了云南的第一餐-鸡丁

搭#919大巴到昆明火车站

人生中第一次在外国搭长途火车，兴奋得整晚失眠了。

Bangkok Video Diary

A summary of my trip to BKK recently! It's been 8 years since I last went to BKK as my parents always against me to travel to Thailand after so many social issues happened to them. So, I was quite surprised when my mom said YES to this trip! haha. It was actually my friend's company trip, so yeah, they're not so worried I supposed :D I was quite anticipated even though it is just our neighborhood country! I miss shopping in BKK and never had the experience of going floating market and so I was very happy I went this time! 

Enjoy the short 3 minutes plus video that I cincai-ly recorded and edited using my iPhone. hehe
