WORK HARD · PLAY HARD | Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar 吉隆坡孟沙铂尔曼酒店

Grand Deluxe Room (12th Floor Room 22)

当天下了飞机,吃了顿午餐,便搭德士前往吉隆坡铂尔曼酒店。我入住的是行政楼层商务豪华套房,到了接待处登记后,接待员便把我领到二十六楼的行政酒廊进行登记手续,我特别喜欢员工们的亲切,待人彬彬有礼的态度。整个登记手续都在轻松地谈话间完成。回到房间,放置行李后,在高处看看外头的风景,很大很大的雨落下,这座城市的尘埃被洗得干净,隔着玻璃窗,房里全是清新雨的味道。

Once I arrive at Kuala Lumpur and had my lunch, I straight away call a taxi and heading to Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar. I stay at their Grand Deluxe Room. Since it is "Grand Deluxe", I had been bring to Executive Lounge on 26th floor to check in. All the staff there are so nice and friendly. It just take a while to complete the whole check in process. It was raining cats and dogs that day once I check in, but the rain just wash off all the dust and I enjoy the freshness of the city.

APPRECIATION NIGHT | Chirstmas Buffet Dinner 2014 at Novotel Kuala Lumpur City Centre


Novotel Kuala Lumpur City Centre - APPRECIATION NIGHT 16 December 2014

再过一个星期就是圣诞节,我没什么特别的圣诞庆祝计划。在我印象中,除了几次与友人聚餐交换礼物,二十多年来我的圣诞节过得挺平凡无味的。家人亲友大多不是基督徒,通常都只是到外头图个圣诞节气氛,没有固定的庆祝方式。难得这一次有机会参与Novotel Kuala Lumpur City Centre 酒店举办的圣诞节感恩夜,还邀请在大马缅甸难民小孩关爱团体My Myanmar Refugee Children - United Learning Centre一起参与圣诞晚宴,让我过了非一般的感恩节日。

Christmas is coming in just 1 week and yet I do not have any plan for this year Christmas celebration. For me, Christmas celebration is just gathering with a bunch of friends and have gifts exchanged. Since I’m not a Christian, I do not have any specific way of celebration. It’s just going out there and enjoys the atmosphere that full of Christmas feel. I’m so happy that I had been invited by Novotel Kuala LumpurCity Centre to attend a Christmas appreciation event. They also invite children from My Myanmar Refugee Children - United Learning Centre along to join the dinner. This is such meaningful and memorable night in my life.

槟城露天双层观光巴士 Penang Hop-On Hop-Off City Tour (Pick me up! Before you Ho-Ho!)


Visited on December 2014 (Photo by iPhone)





我们沿着峇都丁宜山路蜿蜒而上,露天巴士行驶缓慢,岛屿的海景在树木间若隐若现。空阔地段,放眼望去是开阔的海平线、蓝天白云、渐层的海,而围绕着我们的是明媚阳光,山间风景,还有那欢畅放松的心情与欢笑,原来人在自然中是可以如此轻易的心旷神怡。风拂过脸颊的温暖,我细细看一片居住了二十多年的海,平静宽阔,仿佛享受生活就像不必在乎一趟旅程的目的地,而是体验将沿途风光尽收眼帘的美好。

The journey begins where we hop on an open-air bus. Along the direction to Batu Ferringhi, the view of island and sea was looming among the leaves. Blue sky and the gradient of the sea water can be seen clearly. Feel the wind blowing through the cheek and have a look to the place that you had been stay for the past 20 years. To enjoy life seems as easy as starting a journey without caring of the destiny and most of the time you will experience the most unexpected things out of your imagination.

FESTIVE SPARKLE | Gift ideas 2014: Santa tell me what you want for Chirstmas


我想起读过的圣诞节小故事。

麦琪的礼物讲述圣诞除夕夜一个年轻的贫穷夫妻为了给对方买份礼物,费尽心思,妻子卖掉一头美丽秀发为丈夫配上一幅做工精巧的表链,而丈夫却卖掉手表为妻子买了一套她梦想拥有的百老汇梳子,可最终在交换礼物时却排不上任何用场。短短的故事告诉了人们世间上最宝贵且无法替代的礼物是——爱。

我想,人们相惜相爱,是发自内心为对方付出,倾尽自己所有。爱不是挂在嘴边的几句复读的甜蜜语,重要的是愿不愿意为对方付出,一个简单实用又意义的礼物,和一个拥吻也许是温馨佳节真情付出的表现。

Christmas remind me of a short story that I read before.

The Gift of the Magiis about a young married couple that came across lots of challenging in order to just buying a Christmas gift for each other with their poor income condition. The wife who called Della sell her hair to a nearby hairdresser in order to buy a fob chain for her husband who known as Jim. While Jim sell his watch in order to buy a comb that Della dream about it so much. In the end, they just realize that the gift that they bought was not applicable and useful at all. This short story told us that the most valuable gift in the world is something you could not buy with money, which is LOVE.

Wait... It’s still Christmas and it would not be complete by having some gift to your love one. So, enjoy the Christmas gift guide that we pick for you and may be it will help you out somehow. Last but not least, Christmas would not complete with Ho Ho Ho... Merry Christmas!!!


For Boyfriend 给你亲爱的他

DEAR LIFE | My Brunch in Kuala Lumpur: Antipodean Cafe, Levain Boulangerie Patisserie, The Front Door




在吉隆坡的日子,虽是游荡虽是悠闲,但在人潮中穿梭来往也是一种无名的忙忙碌碌,若没细细体验地方风情,必定会错过了解这城市的美妙。在这里的数日,你无法忽视马路车辆拥挤,某些地方的卫生清洁状况,外地劳工和游客各肤色人群的居留的现象,但你会把它撇到一旁,纯粹想发掘和感受城市的魄力,比如说:在周末偷个懒睡到日上三竿,然后吃上一些美味的食物。


Still remember the time I was at Kuala Lumpur, I was quite free and I have my own time to wandering around the city. If you do not slow down your step and look at what happening around you, I'm sure that you had missed a lot of the chances to understand this wonderful city. At KL, you can ignore the busy traffic, the hygienic problem at some places and the phenomena of foreign worker that slowly become our residences. But you will put all this things aside and explore and experience this city. For example, wake up late at the weekend and time find a good restaurant or cafe to have your brunch. 




La France - Cafe and Restaurant (Jalan Irrawadi)


La France Penang (visited on September 2014)

毕业之际,无数的照片填满面子书,每一页都是带上四方帽欢乐的笑脸,每一贴都是穿上毕业袍合家团圆留影,每一文都是总结成长的感受对未来的期盼向往。

庆祝和感恩是毕业时离不开的话题,这里感谢我的部落团队兼死党在毕业典礼前为我预先庆贺。我个人觉得毕业不太需要大肆庆祝和渲染一番,毕竟生活还有其他更可喜可贺的过程,但能和你们吃个晚餐聊个天,便是种痛快的庆祝。

It is the season of graduation where you scroll through your facebook and saw all kind of graduation posts and photos. Graduation means what? Celebration!!! Since it is Kim's graduation celebration, we decided to pay a visit to La France. The reason we choose here? Good food, beverage and also their simple comfortable environment.

Kuching Food Guide 古晋 • 美食之旅 (Sarawak, Malaysia)


Food hunt in Kuching, Sarawak
visited on January 2014



古晋是马来西亚砂拉越的首府,是东马最大的城市,也是个多姿多彩的城市,民风淳朴,生活步伐没西马城市那么匆忙。河滨公园美丽的河畔就像是城市的一条命脉,汇聚了娱乐歌舞,休闲美食,旅游漫步,仿佛是紧扣整座城市节奏与文化的脉搏。无论白天黑夜,我们很多时间都花在河岸旁散步(除了要驱车前往较远的地区),靠双脚感受这片土地的美妙。

古晋也是个美食家喜爱的胜地,此帖文的重点主要介绍一些道地的美食,我和我弟在这里三天两夜尽可能把肚量撑大,只为了吃更多的美食,回来后整理成这一篇帖子,可供即将到访古晋的旅人参考参考。

According to verbal local history, Kuching was named after the Sarawak river which is known as “Sungai Kuching”. The whole city was then build around the side is the river.

For those who plan the pay a visit to Kuching, do not rush. You guys should stay at kuching for at least 2 to 3 days and enjoy the city slowly.

Penang 3D Trick Art Musuem (Art Gallery)


Penang 3D Trick Art Museum
(visited on October 2014)

距离参观MADE IN PENANG - Interactive Musuem美因槟榔博物馆」已经一年的时间。当时是壁画摄影的热潮期,参观的人数可真多,小小空间在无数摄影闪光灯和咔嚓声的宣传下成为至今槟城观光的必游胜地。还记得那时我们一群人待了好几个小时,如今,欢笑声和照片只能是脑海与友人的美好回忆。前几天随意游览网页看槟城近期消息,发现刚开张的「槟城 3D Trick Art 博物馆 ,第一反应便想到快点召集友人重温拍照的欢乐时期,毕竟因为各自的工作缘故,这有是一次难得的四人相聚。

Since the last time we visit Made In Penang Interactive Museum is already almost 1 year. Now, Penang have another fun, interesting and hot spot to visit, Penang 3D Trick Art Museum. As compare to MIPIM, we like here more. Here have wider space for visitor to take photo or may be the time we visit have not much people there. We really enjoy the time taking all crazy photo there. The most important is finally 4 of us have time to gather again!!

Chez Nous - Genuine Belgian Cafe (Lorong Seck Chuan, Georgetown)


Chez Nous Cafe (photo by Iphone5)
Visited on October 2014

那是上个月的事情,我们晚餐后想找个舒适的小店续杯,顺便谈谈生活趣事。 Chez Nous 是一间让人不经意就会错过的小店,不过得知这间店已久,只是找不到对的时间到访,刚好那晚在那一带兜绕,就决定在下着雨的天喝上几杯小酒暖胃。我们在路口街道泊了车,撑着伞抵达门口时,一位亲切的洋人(过后在脸书发现是店家比利时籍老板)告诉我们厨房打烊了,只好离去,提醒自己下次要早点来。

This was happened since last month since we plan to visit Chez Nous. I still remember that after our dinner plus it was a rainy day, we decided to find a cafe that sell alcohol to let us warm up a bit. Ya.. I know... These was just our excuse to have some alcohol boost. But we were so unlucky that when we reach Chez Nous, we were told that their kitchen was closed. Too bad!!!

Western Spices - Original by Chef Nick (Penang Green Hall)

Western Spice
Visited on July 2014 (All photo by Iphone5)

迟来的一顿晚餐:聚餐庆祝丽莉的生日,由她翻牌子点了古迹区的某间餐馆,可是兜来兜去却找不着,没行驶错方向,确定抵达目的,可是眼前的景象:招牌不知所踪,昏黄的街灯映在玻璃窗口,清空的餐厅在古屋岁月摧残的斑驳墙里像个废墟。庆幸口袋里还有几个可翻的牌子,就这样来到了槟州大会堂旁的Western Spice餐厅,又是一场欢乐一场微醉的夜晚。

Birthday celebration!!! Is Lily birthday and we decide to bring her for a great dinner. After our discussion, we decide to choose Western Spice to celebrate her birthday.

Paper Pepper · Postcard & Café (Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling)


Paper Pepper (Jalan Masjid Kapitan kelinh, Georgetown)
Visited on September 2014 (All photo by Iphone5)

未来的变化究竟如何,没有人能预知,但却无法掩盖心中的好奇,如果有时光机,我们都想窥探五年十年后的自己。来这里吧,给自己定一个时期,并想象在那段时间内自己将会成为怎样的人,然后给自己寄封明信片。这间小店可以成为在通往未知的路途中,扮演提醒你的角色,让过去的你和未来的你相互沟通,有梦想就有希望,这里会是幸福温馨的停歇点。

Paper Pepper... A very interesting cafe with a theme of postcard which is getting less and less familiar nowadays. Still remember the last time you send a postcard to someone? Or you not even send a postcard before. Then you should visit this store and start to send one.

Joyeux Penang (Brunch & Breakfast Restaurant, Jalan Nagore)

Visited on September 2014 (Photo by Iphone)

吉隆坡有几间不错的简约咖啡馆,透过玻璃自然采光,木制座椅橱柜摆设,大地色系配件地砖等营造出简约的时尚感,挺适合喝上一杯咖啡,翻上几页书,思考整理笔记。一个人闲逛吉隆坡,美丽的午后基本上都在忘我的发呆和摩卡冷却的时光中流失。槟城就是少了这类咖啡馆,一般所谓的「特色咖啡馆」都被一些装潢噱头和宣传弄得眼花缭乱,好不容易在近期看到一些简约风格的小餐馆。

我和朋友说,看Joyeux面子书的照片,觉得这个地方好「Instagram」,尤其是上楼的顶上的灯泡装置,可惜我们抵达时外头下着大雨,服务生告知屋檐漏雨暂不开放,错过了照片中浪漫的谈话地点,不过底楼简约的木质装修确实让人轻松。

Finally we have time to meet again after some time and we decided to meet up since all of us are free. There are no reason that we should not meet up every time we are at Penang. We just have never ending topics to talk and endless laughter in our outing. There will be never enough outing for us if we have free time to meet up.

We still remember that day we decided to pay a visit to Joyeux. It was a rainy night with very comfy weather. We have no idea where is the exact location of it, we just follow the not very trustable GPS to guide us there. End up we make 3 rounds to finally found Joyeux because we could not find any signboard of their shop. They just have a small banner that place in front of their entrance to prove that there is Joyeux. To be honest, you will easily miss their shop if you do not pay much attention. But in a good way, it means that it is a very low profile and cozy place to hang out without having to squeeze with crowds.

Kim's Laksa 金叻沙 (Nan Guang Restaurant, Balik Pulau)

Kim's Laksa, Balik Pulau (Visited on July 2014)

浮罗山背在槟城的繁华市中心外,座落槟城岛屿的后山,可说是有着丰富的大自然生态,且纯朴农村生活的人情味,榴莲飘香季节更是众人旅途不可错过的重点之一。这地方有着摄人的魅力,但这美丽的绿色也开始面对发展的洪流,若有时间,前来一趟,感受自然的清新,体验小镇生活的乐无忧虑。

如果有明确的时间规划,也可在一天内到访客家山寨品尝客家菜私人养马场的骑马乐莎能牧羊场的奶羊之旅美味的Kim’s Laksa 金加沙便是你们的美食选择之一,多么欢乐的一日游。


Balik Pulau is the downtown of Penang, where it was located the other side of island. It claimed to be rich in natural ecology and the simplicity of rural life which was totally opposite to the town area. And durian's season is one of the things that you should not be missed and must pay a visit to Balik Pulau because here was famous with the yummilcious durian. Balik Pulau is also a place that will attrach those people who like photography since here are surrounded my mother nature.

莎能牧羊场 Saanen Dairy Goat Farm (Balik Pulau)


莎能牧羊场 Saanen Dairy Goat Farm
(Visited on July 2014)

莎能牧羊场并不难到达,沿途有目的地的指示牌,具体地点是在浮罗山背国民服役训练营旁。牧羊场的停车位子有限,庆幸我们在工作日参观,农场只有负责人和我们三人(还有另三人,一群即将离去的访客)。农场不大,不过一下车便可感受羊只辨识度高的味道,和亲切的负责人女孩打了招呼便开始往羊场里拍照去。

Who doesn't love nature? Saanen Dairy Goat Farm is one of the choices that you can get close to nature. It was easy to find the location of the farm as they had sign to show to the exact direction along the road. To be exact, it is somewhere near Balik Pulau national service training camp. We was lucky that we managed to find parking lot easily because they provide limited parking space. The goat farm was not too big and once we get out from our car, we can smell the unique smell of goat. We also welcome by the person in charge which was very friendly and we felt so warm. Then, our journey of photography started...

Countryside Stables Penang (Balik Pulau)

Countryside Stables Penang (Visited on July 2014)

这是个很清新好玩的地方,座落在浮罗山背,绿水青山的乡间生活使其远离了城市的繁华。

驱车前往返回养马场的时候,会经过一条乡间小径,两旁是满满的香蕉树,形成一片嫩绿色的矮墙,抬头即看见天空,窄小的空间却让你感受到自然的无限扩大,风拂过大地,万物一片生机勃勃。我告诉友人我们应该停车排上几张乡间照,可是香蕉树给人各种不同的印象,他们更是觉得诡异,毕竟有关香蕉树的传说不少,而当阳光、蜿蜒小路、香蕉绿叶、果实累累几个组合在一起的时候,画面总是美好。

After an hectic week of working, stress and busyness, it time to get away from the bustling city. Countryside Stables Penang is the place that perfect for a getaway. Spend some quality time with your family in the mother’s nature, inhale fresh air that you can’t get in city which is way better than all those weekend activity that held in city. Once, you will forget about all the stress that you undergone and start enjoy your weekend with pure happiness.

That Little Wine Bar (Modern European Restaurant, Georgetown)


Visited on May 2014 (All Photo by Iphone 5)


好长一段时间,我们各自忙学业忙生活忙工作,分隔几地,聚在一起的时间很少,部落更是没法子好好经营。虽然期间大家都会找时间吃喝玩乐,不过有时想写,却有心无力,本来想直接放弃这部落,可是想目前我的记忆容量实在没有很大,很快因为忙碌就忘了一些事情。我享受当下,便期望日后能从这里的点滴回味那遗失且美好的时光。哪怕有一天我老去,还能一窥自己少年青涩的模样,是时候整理一些照片,开始敲打方块字来记录生活。

It has been a while we did not meet up since all of us are busy with our own career and studies. Finally we get to spare sometime and have a short meet up during weekend. The first things that come to our mind is pick a good restaurant and have a great dinner (especially those that sell alcohol!!!). After we made some research, we decided to pay a visit to That Little Wine Bar.

Photo Dairy: Medan & Lake Toba, Indonesia 印尼棉兰游记



MEDAN

旅行让我的眼睛变得贪婪,什麽都想看,什麽都想变成相机裡的记忆。第一天,我对这座城市的印象不太好,建筑街道简陋,交通拥挤溷乱。我很难脸带微笑走在各肤色嚷嚷匆匆的人群中,感受不到应有安全感和放鬆。

Absolute Thai (The Garden, Midvalley Kuala Lumpur)


Visited on March 2014

邻国的泰国餐在大马的风行程度,可以说是各国料理中一家大小皆宜,且受欢迎程度极高的菜色,尤其是酸辣开胃的冬阴功汤(Tomyam),大马人的最爱啊。此行的目的并不是到 The Garden, Midvalley 购物,临时改变想法转换购物地点,以餐馆环境优美和口味为标准选择了Absolute Thai Garden解决当天的午餐。

Kim's Sarawak Trip 砂拉越游记 - Sibu & Kuching 2014

Kim's Sarawak Trip

这趟旅程是一时冲动订购机票而成行的。前三天呆在诗巫的朋友家,让她们领着我们趴趴走,这地方没有什么特色景点,所以几乎一整天都在吃喝打发时间,肠胃也撑大了。接着转机到古晋,在机场向租车柜台租了辆小车,四天时间依赖导航系统行驶,跟着先前完成的自制旅行参考指南,和旅行网站Trip Advisor的推荐来决定行程安排。

这一星期啊,我在砂拉越过得悠闲自在。

What an unexpected journey... Kim bought his flight ticket without second taught and then the journey begin. For the first 3 days, Kim stay at his friends house at Sibu. Sibu did not have much attraction places, the things that they do the most id eat, eat and eat. This is wat Kim do for the last 3 days ar Sibu. Afterthat, Kim take another flight to Kuching, Sarawak. He rent a car at airport and start his 4 days journey at Kuching by using GPS. Kim had do some homework before this trip, so the entire journey is according to what Kim had planned.

Just Something Art Space & Cafe (Butterwoth, Penang)

Just Something Cafe (Butterworth) - Bee Hsia's Bday Celebration
Visited on January 2014

我在这里遇见一只狗一只猫,和友人小聚叙旧,为老朋友美霞庆生。

楼下的小黑狗兴奋的在我脚边跳跃,我喜欢抚摸它的头和颈,一旁的朋友吓到还劝我快离开,可它那双忠诚无辜的眼神无法让我不凝视它。楼上卫生间门前有只猫,在陌生人面前很生涩,动也不动羞得低头不望我,不像平日遇见爱撒娇的猫咪。至于我们呢,无论生活多忙碌,大家抽出时间外出小聚交流,也特意为明天生日的美霞庆生。

And this is the time that our old friend, Bee Hsia's birthday again... Is time to have a celebration and a small gathering no matter how busy we are, we still will spare some time to celebrate her birthday with her.

Art is Rubbish is Art (Ernest Zacharevic's Art Exhibition)

Art is Rubbish is Art (Visited on Feb 2014)

在街头艺术家Ernest Zachaveric「艺术是垃圾,垃圾是艺术」的艺术展里,我被感动不是因为作品的专业审美诠释,毕竟我不懂绘画这一方面。而是他的作品和槟城人有种亲密的关系,浓浓的地方人情味特别容易让人产生共鸣。游览拍照期间说不上深刻和震撼,但这些画作却唤醒了曾经存在我脑海中的记忆,像走马灯一样闪过许多画面。

In Ernest Zachaveric "Art is rubbish is art" art exhibition, Kim was impressed not only by the professional paintings (But Kim do not understand this aspect), but Zach art works that correlation with the culture of Penang. These paintings are more a like a reporter that telling story about old Penang.

TWG Tea Salon & Boutique (Pavilion Kuala Lumpur)

TWG Tea Salon & Boutique (Pavilion Kuala Lumpur)
Visited on Jan 2014

英国维多利亚时代的下午茶让人感觉奢靡高级,到了今天却演变成人们的一种休闲习惯。一个人喝下午茶,无非是为了暂时逃离繁杂的生活,几个好友共分享下午茶,那必定是不顾任何形象地闲谈彼此。对于我,这就是享用下午茶的意义。

English high tea is so popular during Victorian era. High Tea is often a misnomer. Most people refer to afternoon tea as high tea because they think it sounds regal and lofty, when in all actuality, high tea, or "meat tea" is dinner. In England, the traditional time for tea was four or five o'clock and no one stayed after seven o'clock. Most tea rooms today serve tea from three to five o'clock. But nowadays, English high tea becomes a kind of lifestyle in our life.

If one going to high tea, he or she must be fed up with the hectic life and need so relaxing place to get rid of all those worries. If a group of friend who going for high tea, their purpose sure will be gossiping about other. This are what comes to Kim’s mind when it comes to high tea.

Habanero Mexican Dining (Sunway Carnival Mall)

Habanero Mexican Dining (Sunway Carnival Mall)
Visited on Dec 2013

墨西哥佳肴的颜色特别鲜艳,以酸辣的重口味为主,辣椒种类多,酱料搭配的吃法花样百出,特别容易刺激食欲。我看到一个网站写:墨西哥人称自己为「玉米人」,因为墨西哥特色美食作法离不开用玉米饼搭配不同的馅料和酱汁。这间店可以作为对墨西哥传统食物的入门介绍,食物选择不多,但已能让你了解墨西哥人的基本口味。

Mexican food… A fusion of indigenous Mesoamerican cooking with European, especially Spanish, elements added after the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in the 16th century. The basic staples remain native foods such as corn, beans and chili peppers, but the Europeans introduced a large number of other foods, the most important of which were meat from domesticated animals (beef, pork, chicken, goat and sheep), dairy products (especially cheese) and various herbs and lots of spices. Habanero Mexican Dining will give you an introduction to the traditional Mexican cuisine.

Penang Tropical Spice Garden 槟城热带香料花园

Visited on July 2013



晃秋千,甜脆的笑声穿梭在树林阳光的缝隙间。抬头望,自然的精灵追逐着风在这片天空嬉戏,高大浓密的树荫像细纱滤去阳光的炙热,零星点点地落下,粘在手上的是干净温暖的午后阳光。我特爱这种平静,能让我从容的感受自己在天地间的渺小,像一个种子萌出了嫩芽,准备茁壮成长,绽放完成生命。

Malaysia is a country that is well known with all kind of tropical spices and also widely used in Malaysian cuisine. Tropical Spice Garden which located at Penang has most of the spices in their garden. If you are interested with spices, this is a place that you should not miss.
