In The United Kingdom

Flew to the UK for 16 days. This winter is so wet, makes me miss the sun in Malaysia so much!

It is 9 degree now and yet I just felt so cold, so lazy to take shower and wash my hair. My hair has not been washed since the day I flew to here.

But weird to say that I do not have any jet lag problem at all. Slept at around 11pm and woke up at around 8 or 9 am.

The sales has started since Boxing Day. The baby n kids clothes are so cheap, just £ 1 per piece!!!

Nothing much has changed since I left here half a year ago. Except there is one Chatime In the town now...

Wreck it Ralph

We went out quite late for this weekend. After MPig came back from his badminton, he took a nap while we were enjoying the cooling breeze of the heavy rain.

We went to have our weekly fish and fish balls at the usual place. Initially we planned to watch Life of Pi but it wat already 8 pm. So we changed our mind to watch Wreck it Ralph.

It is a great movie and if you are a patron at the game arcade, I am sure you know most of the character.

The story is about Ralph who is wrecker and most people do not like him. He lives in garbage dump while fix it Felix is respected by everyone and will fix all the thing wreck by Ralph.

Ralph does not want to be bad anymore and want to gain respect from his friends.

He went to other game center and win the gold medal but eventually he was thrown to Sugar Rush. He met Vanellope and helped her to learn how to race....

I like the avatar of Vanellope very much.

White Wan Tan Mee at Bukit Mertajam Pasar

We like to eat the famous white Wan Tan Mee 云吞面 at Bukit Mertajam Pasar. It is just located besides the Pek Kong Temple 伯公前.

If you can't find it, you ask people at BM, they will sure to give your the direction.

The stall opens early in the morning around 6am and will sell until 1pm.

The small noodles cost rm 3 while the big noodles cost rm3.50.

The noodles is very Q. Even though the wan tan is not like those in HK which has the prawn but it has the tradition wan tan taste.

We like to go there to have a bowl of noodles and ta pao back for our family to eat.

Penang

Visited the heritage of Penang during Deepavali holiday. I like Mirrors of Georgetown. It is a creative approach to nurture and cultivate artist and the most important is the cost is not expensive.

There is around 8-9 wall pictures drawn by a French artist, Ernest Zacharevic. Then recently this has encouraged local artist to draw the slide pictures too.

Mirrors of Georgetown has attracted not only tourists but Penangites to visit this UNESCO heritage in Georgetown.

All the pictures are scattered around a few famous street in Georgetown.

Some tourists rent a bicycle to tour around the area. They not only have the chance to see the beautiful pictures but also witness the architecture of the pre war houses.

Penang government has set Sunday as "No Car Day" to allow tourists to walk or cycle around and enjoy the beauty of the area.

Visiting Penang is not complete without trying all the Penang delicacies such as laksa, curry mee, kangkung and cuttlefish, Chee cheong Fun, char Kueh Tiao etc.
