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，而美味的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.
