Bras Basah Series 1

My first photo outing with Lynx and gang, to a place call Bras Basah. Let's start with my favorite, the black and white shots.

Southern_All_Stars (サザンオールスターズ)

Listening to Southern All Stars to keep me sane tonight. It's amazing how sexy the lead singer can sound! Easily my favorite Japanese Band of all time!

The first song that made me a fan
LOVE AFFAIR～秘密のデート～


And my 2nd favorite song from them
Lonely Women


And the rest is history :)

彩～Aja～


雨上がりにもう一度キスをして


涙の海で抱かれたい


A solo by the lead singer Keisuke Kuwata (桑田 佳祐)

Ice Kacang Puppy Love 初戀紅豆冰

Got to support this movie by Ah Niu, a fellow Penang Kia! He writes some of the most honest and beautiful songs! His songs always make me homesick for Penang. Some of my favourite songs from him. Couldn't find my favourite on youtube though. It's call Sungai Puyu Wind. Will keep looking. But in the mean time, enjoy those found :)

Museums in Malacca

Have I mention that Malacca is classified as a UNESCO site? Alamak, after so many blog entry then I tell you! Sigh! Btw, Penang is also a UNESCO site! Aren't that wonderful! Anyway, what UNESCO site always have is museums! And there area a whole street full of them in Malacca! We visited three of the museums while we were there.

The first museum was the The Malacca People's Museum that houses the Kite Museum, and Museum of Enduring Beauty. It cost only RM2 (S$0.90) per entry, and has 3 level of exhibition. One thing about Malaysian Museum is, it's pretty spooky! hahaha. Plus, you can really smell it :P

Shown here are the spooky hall way of the museums, and some of the exhibit, the center being the deformed bone structure of the Chinese Bounded Feet ladies in ancient times which was considered to be feminine and beautiful, as well as the disc lips African ladies, another sign of feminine and beauty in another culture in another part of the world. Hence the name of the Museum of Enduring Beauty. An extremely educational museum. Too bad the aircon was not working, or I could have stayed there longer to read up on twisted beauty images around the world.


The other museums are kinda free. The architecture museum has a free entry, and some of the old mode of transportation were freely viewable as you walk around the museum premises! This place is really value for money! And its great for kids too!

The last museum we visited was the Baba and Nyonya Heritage Museum that cost RM8(S$3.50) per entry. Here you can see how the Baba and Nyonya used to live in the olden days. I like visiting this place cause it brings back memories of my childhood, with all it's Peranakan culture and tradition. My family (both paternal and maternal side) originated from Malacca before migrating to Penang. My mum actually spend her whole childhood and teenage years here with my grandparents. So I can relate to this small town and it's slower pace of life, and completely feel at home here :)

Bi Rain - Come Back Home

After spending 16 hours watching Full House during the weekend, somehow the character played by Rain isn't exactly what I was expecting. Still, it was an interesting Korean Drama! Here to share is my favorite image of him, so utterly unlike the character played in the series. I bet my cousin Doris would love this clip :P

Next target, want to watch "I'm a Cyborg but that's ok". Anyone got the movie to lend me watch? :P
