10 things about Penang

Accommodation in Penang : The 80's Guesthouse, Lorong Love, Georgetown.
Length of Stay : 2 days 2 nights.


1. It's a must going to Penang Hill, Kek Lok Si temple (both quite close), Street Art and try to go to every jetty's, worth to take a pic.

2. Try nasi kandar around jalan Penang, it's famous and long queue so be patience. Try to drink their teh tarik, dunno why its different from Singapore one, and it tastes nicer actually! And at least try Char Kwaytiaow.

3. Take almost with all the street art (so remember to bring MAP from the info centre).

4. If you went to Bali before, don't expect too much for Batu Ferringghi. But it has night market and nice seafood.

5. If you have time, strolling around Georgetown by bike. Not too tired since its bloody hot in the afternoon. And its a bit pricey to go by becak, 30RM in an hour. I got my bike from hostel only for 15RM, on rental usually 35-45RM.

6. If you love coffee, going cafe 55 is a must. If you have much time to go out from Georgetown, try Full of Beans at Straits Quay or Queen Bay Mall.

7. LOTS of nice and unique cafes, prepare and googling it before, because it depends on your interest.

8. If you afraid of dog, be careful, lots of them in the street haha. They won't bite, but still since I'm so scared of dogs, it was bit challenging! :))

9. I had a great time and for me it was a nice services at the 80's guesthouse at Love Lane.

10. Perfect for weekend getaway! More than enough.


My March 2014 getaway. Thanks to Andanty, my high school mate, who pushed me to make this trip happen :)

hello from new city

June and July have been the busiest month for me, I guess. Lots of travels, lots of events, and many more. I'll posting all of them as soon as I can. 


And I am officially leaving Berlin since the 9th of July. For good. Sad and teary but I had to face it, and of course (yeaaahh the hardest part) move on. :)


And for now until another month or (hopefully) more, I am here ...

Talk to you later about my new journey! ;)

Hurricane day 3 (24.6.12) : Dancing in the Rain!


Never thought that the finale are gonna be a heavy rainy day! But the show must go on, so does the festival goers. We were already prepare with rain coat and rubber boot, and literally dancing in the rain! 
Just like someone said on twitter, it was insane but the best festival ever. I can't agree more.

Hurricane day 2 (23.6.12) : The Rock Show


Day 2. It was a bit windy but still shiny. It was a bit hectic because there are more bands I want to see and I had to manage the time so I can easily jump for one stage to another. Too bad I've missed M83 because they changed the time to one hour earlier. But that's okay, still saw the lots of bands' performances today. I had fuuunn! :D






Kakkmaddafakka, they're soo hillarious!


Florence and the Machine, I love her!


Noel Gallagher and band

Blink 182

Justice live

Garbage, Shirley Manson was still awesome!


Hurricane day 1 (22.6.12) : Friday I'm in Love


Finally the day has come. I finally had a chance to attend this kind of festival and fully music for three days. Yes, it's gonna be huuugggeee! First day was perfect! Perfect weather, perfect ambience, and finally I saw one of my favourite band since in junior high school, the Cure. I regret it when I couldn't watch their concert on 2008 in Berlin just because I was afraid to go on concert alone (yeah, 2008 and it was my first month in Berlin). And now I think God finally answered my pray. I was speechless to see Robert Smith singing live. 
It was friday, and yes, I'm (still) in love with you, the Cure!
