Family's Day Out - Purrfect Cat Cafe

Finally I am here - The famous Purrfect Cat Cafe in Penang!!! I rarely come to Georgetown even though bloggers and friends on Facebook have been taking photos in various cafes with unique themes in Penang because of the super crowded streets, limited parking space, blahblahblah... BUT, surprisingly, on last Sunday late morning, everything went smoothly as my dad was driving with quite some parking spaces available. The reason? People had headed to the shopping malls for free air-con instead of visiting the heritage sites on a typical Malaysia weather (which was proven true as we went to the Queensbay Mall and could barely get a parking space, but the weather was gloomy by then - shopping malls are suitable for sunny and also rainy days!). This was my first time walking along the streets in Georgetown and I was surprised by the concentrated number of cafes and inns found there! Definitely a good place for cafe hopping, you just have to park your car and start walking!

KindMeal.my - Your Tasty Journey Begins Here!

I believe that there is always some compassion towards animals within a person, regardless of his or her diet preference. Even though many of us eat meat, we will still squeak with excitement and get drown in cuteness when we see videos of adorable kids (kids here refer to young goats, hahaha) leaping around the lawn. We feel that we want to protect them, love them, but still it is so hard to change our diet to a fully cruelty-free ones because we were raised with the diet which our parents were raised with too. Sometimes I feel like a hypocrite, saying that I love animals, but doing the other thing, consuming animal products which contributes to the animals' suffering. Shutting our mind off away from animal welfare issues is easy, but when you can make a little change, will you do it?

Have not heard of KindMeal?

KindMeal.my might not be an animal-rescue organisation, but it is a platform run by PetFinder.my (if you didn't know about it yet, PetFinder is an organisation that facilitates pets adoption) to encourage meat-free dining among Malaysians. So far they have reached over four states and one federal territory: Selangor, Melaka, Perak, Penang and Kuala Lumpur.

The webpage of KindMeal.my. The first step you have to do is create an account, if you are really that lazy just like me, just sign up using your Facebook account and enjoy a wide variety of meal deals you can find there!

Girls' Day Out - Penang Hill

A painting-like scenery of Penang from the Penang Hill! #nofilter  It was kinda fogy in the morning and it got better in the afternoon. I am glad that you can still find greeneries among the cities. Photo credit goes to Xin Yi and Vikee.

A real semester break rest is the one with no laptop.   --- Xiwen, 2014

Ok I quoted my own saying, please don't judge, haha. After some putting in some serious determination, I made it to the second trip of this semester break with Vikee and Xin Yi (the first one was with my family to Taiping) to the Penang Hill! This was my second visit to Penang Hill for the past 21 years and I think it is one of the best places to go in Penang to escape the scorching hot sun. Well before you go, you should check out their official website and fell in love with it before falling in love with the actual place!

'Bukit Bendera' stands for 'Flag Hill' in Malay. When we mention Penang Hill in other languages such as Malay and Mandarin (not sure about Tamil and other languages), we don't call it Penang Hill. For Mandarin, with direct translation it is 'Raising Flag Hill', hahaha.

Small Matter Cafe - Nibong Tebal

Yay all of us know that there are lots of cafes in Penang, but......most of them are located at the island or Butterworth, which I will rarely go due to inconvenience as I used to hide at home throughout the semester break (somebody please jio me out!!!). Recently two cafes popped out in my hometown, Nibong Tebal, and this time I am blogging about Small Matter Cafe, which is pretty new compared to Mr. Gee Bakery Cafe (hopefully will cover it next time).

I like the design of the signboard, clean and neat! The cafe is located not right beside the main road, so it is kinda hard to detect it without going into that street.

I LIKE THIS WALL IT'S YELLOW =P. The light bulbs in a diamond shaped frame are unique!

The Binding of Issac Review (18+)

I swear that I didn't purposely search for bloody and gory games during exam week  but by chance I came across this game on Ocean of Games website (lots of free download games there). Without hesitation I just hit the download button and I am obsessed about it until today. Even thought I enjoy its platform type gameplay, there is a bit controversial about the storyline of this game (ahh usually this is the thing that attracts people's attention). Compared to Catherine and The Witch's House, the storyline of this game is relatively unimportant, in my opinion.

This is the image that caught my eye. I have no idea what it is about until I downloaded it.

The main character, Issac (obviously it's him) was a little boy living happily with his mother, until one day, his mother heard god's voice saying that he was sinned. Eventually, Issac was deprived from his toys, his freedom and finally his mother wanted to kill him. He ran and jumped into an open trapdoor. That's where you begin the game. You kill monsters (tons of them with different characteristics and difficulties), collect weird stuffs that enhance or degrade your power (you will feel surprised that Issac will have a different look according to the stuff you collected), gamble (hahaha yeah, literally gamble), trade with the devil and lastly, defeat the bosses. If you die, you will have to start allllllll over again, but no worries, you won't feel like you are replaying the same stuff because the map arrangement will be different, so does everything. Unless you have died many times, or else you won't feel that frustrated, hahaha.

You're The One And Only - Mayday [Happy Early Father's Day!!!]

你是唯一 - 五月天
You're The One And Only - Mayday

雨林 通往雪景
你嚮往的旅行
我變成專機 帶你 前進

Rainforest leading towards snow scene

The trip you have been longing for

I turn into a personal jet bringing you there

如果 你是地心引力
我絕不會抗拒
重新去定義水平

If you are the gravity

I will not resist it

Re-defining the level

愛是空白日記 我是筆
任你 塗鴉著回憶
填滿感動笑意 在你心裡
翻閱 每一刻美麗

Love is a blank diary; I am pen

Let you doodle in memories

Filling with touching smiles in your heart

Flipping through every moment of beauty

眼前 直達天際
你期盼的飛行
我變成雲朵 陪你 遊戲

In front of your eyes towards the sky

The flying that you have been hoping for

I turn into a cloud playing games with you

如果 你是棉花糖機
我願融化真心
旋轉成手心的雲

If you are cotton candy machine

I am willing to melt my true heart

Spinning into the cloud in your palm

General's Command (Your Legend) - Mayday

將軍令 - 五月天 

General's Command (Your legend) - Mayday

在等誰 一聲下令以後

才想起 呼吸你的自由

從何時 習慣這種生活 Oh ～

Waiting for someone to give the command
Then suddenly remember to breath your freedom
Since when did you get used to this kind of life? Oh~

不相信 或是相信什麼

其實你 早已被決定過

你忍受 但是不願接受 Oh ～

No matter you do not believe or believe in something
Actually your fate has been decided earlier
You endure but are not willing to accept it Oh~

歷史 落在 贏家 之手

至少 我們 擁有 傳說
誰說 敗者 無法 不朽 Oh ～

History is written by those who win
But at least we own the legend
Who said losers won't be remembered? Oh~

拳頭 只能 讓人 低頭
念頭 卻能 讓人 抬頭
抬頭 去看 去愛 去追 你心中的夢

Fist can only let people bow their head
A spark in mind can let people raise their head
Raise your head to see, to love, to chase, the dream in your heart
