Art Exhibition from junk artefacts at Fahrenheit88
#freehotelstay
Ono Kang, a native Penangite is having his solo exhibition in collaboration with ArtisFair by Dato Sri Bernard Chandran at Level 3 Fahrenheit88, from April 24 to May 25th 2024…
Born and raised amidst the jetties of Georgetown, Ono Kang's upbringing was deeply intertwined with the maritime traditions of his family, who were prominent junk ship sailors and traders in the charcoal industry. Despite harbouring dreams of inheriting his grandfather's junk ship and sailing the region's waters, fate had other plans for him.
An avid collector from a young age, Ono Kang amassed a diverse array of artefacts from Georgetown, ranging from furniture and household items to industrial machinery.
These collected treasures became the raw materials for his artistic expression, as he meticulously crafted sculptures and installations that served as a visual diary of his memories and experiences.
The exhibition is opened daily from 11 am till 9 pm except on Monday at Fahrenheit88

ICELAND TRULY LIVES UP BY ITS NAME
After our convocation in London, we decided to fly to Iceland to continue our celebration. Iceland, as we all know is a Nordic island nation well known for its dramatic landscape with volcanoes, geysers, hot springs and lava fields. We spent a total of 6D5N driving around the island in a rented car. We truly enjoy the roadtrip experience, thou we can't understand most of the road signs there LOL. The weather was really really cold in late October and the wind were strong. Hence, we believes Iceland truly lives up by its name. We managed to visit a few interesting spots such as Reykjavik, Thingvellir National Park, Perlan, Sun Vogayer, Gullfoss Falls, Seljalandsfoss, Skaftafell, Harpa, Reynisfiara Black Sand Beach, Blue Lagoon, Myyatn Nature Baths, Geysir and some names that I can't recall. Unfortunately we have no luck with Northern Lights due to the weather.
Things are relatively expensive here. Each meals averagely costs around USD25 above and even a normal fridge magnet can costs up to USD15 upon conversion.
However, our trip to Iceland was such a great experience, and we had such a memorable bonding time together.

CAPTURING THE HISTORY OF FOTANG ANCIENT TOWN
Fotang Ancient Town or Fotangzhen as known in Chinese is one of the four most ancient towns in Zhejiang. It has a reputation of being a thousand year old town, a commercial port and also a holy place for Buddhism.
Strolling around this town gives you a feeling of going back to hundred years back. Although most of the ancient houses has been transform into commercial shoplots, apparently there are still some older generations who still lives there. The houses and buildings are very well maintained to preserve their authenticity.
You can also noticed some activities around like young ladies taking opportunity to dressed up in traditional costumes and have a makeover done for photography sessions. Older generations will gather together for some Chinese chess, mahjong or poker card session. It was quite an eye opening as such activities we can only see on TV if we are a foreigner.
No entrance fee for this town and it's opened till midnight. Ohya, remember to bring a powerbank as your mobile phone will be busy capturing photos 😉

Miri; Leisure Walk Near the Sea
#hiddengems #wheretogo #vianasjourney
Had a chance to explore more area in Miri today and went to this place called Coco Cabana, a well known place near the sea to enjoy sunset view. Few of local stalls open along the way, selling local foods such as grilled chicken wings, chicken skewer, banana fritters and some selection of drinks. Many seems to enjoy the food at the seaside where they have some area for sitting. No doubt it’s a nice spot to spend the evening with friends and families but I feel like the place should have been more well maintain eapecially for the buidling and other public facilities as the toilet.

Reggae Cafe, Penang ✨
#wheretogo
Walking along the streets if Penang, we stumbled upon this cafe. Unassuming from the exterior, you will be impressed by its interior. Tastefully decorated, well air-conditioned, plenty of seats and have really chill vibes.
Menu was rather extensive, they serve mains such as pizza, pasta, poultry, desserts and beverages. We tried out a pasta dish — Tomyam Seafood Pasta but it was just okay. Dessert was good and the serving was generous.
What I really liked about the cafe was how spacious it was. There were three seating areas and can accommodate many! Give it a try when you are in town!
Address - 163, Lebuh Pantai, George Town, 10300 George Town, Pulau Pinang
Ambiance/Facilities - Spacious, chill
Highlights - Selection of cakes

[Johor Bahru] Most Convenient Hotel in JB
#malaysia If you’re a Singaporean who crosses over the causeway to Johor Bahru (JB) often by public transport, this is one of the most convenient hotels in JB you can stay in - Holiday Inn JB City Centre.
It’s located in Komtar mall, right next to City Square Mall, which is directly connected to the immigration checkpoint. You can simply walk to your hotel by foot!
The hotel is fairly new, so even though the room isn’t very big, it’s still a comfortable stay for two. Plus, there are so many cafes and eateries nearby, it’s a great base for you to explore JB!

If you are looking for an excellent and comfortable stay at the orchard road, you can consider the five stars luxurious Shangri la hotel.

🇸🇬Labrador Nature Reserve 💦🌊
#wheretogo
While in the Labrador Nature Reserve, we checked out the stone feature also known in Chinese as Long Ya Men that was originally a natural outcrop that stood in the water just off the shores of Labrador Nature Reserve. Red Beacon was just a stone's away with the eye-catching red color that used to serve as a navigational guide for mariners. It was so cool to be able to see all these replica of landmark that was playing important roles in the past.

🇰🇷 Nostalgic museum at Starbucks
There is a free museum at the entrance of Starbucks at Gyeongdong market. It shows the gadgets used in South Korea back in 1970s and they all looked similar to the museum display in Singapore. It look like in Asia, most of the gadgets and daily lives are more about the same. They even have the olden style of TV and and washing machines. Most of these appliances are produced in South Korea and it is special to see it here at Gyeongdong market. It really brightens up the market after it closes.

🇸🇬 HortPark-A Garden Wonderland 🌱🍃
#wheretogo
We were greeted by a floral runway at HortPark – a unique park that brings together nature appreciation and gardening-related activities. There is also a beautifully done visitor services center. HortLawn was so huge and great for kids to run around. There is also a beautiful spiral staircase that led us to the open terrace below. The open views were so so amazing. It calmed me down and my troubles went away while sitting here, enjoying the breeze and looking at the wide green field.

🇰🇷 Starbucks inside Gyeongdong Market
Most of the Starbucks outside of Singapore are so unique and beautiful. I like to include unique Starbucks to visit during my overseas trips. This Starbucks is inside a local market in Seoul. It is on the second floor so you will miss it. There is a Starbucks signage and because it is in a market, there are too many distractions. But it is worth your effort to find it. The Starbucks took over the entire second floor of the market and turn it into a large theatre kind of settings. You will collect your drinks when your number flashes on the wall.

🇰🇷 Gyeongdong Market
Yes I am at the local market and this is not the popular tourist Gwangjang market. This is the Gyeongdong market and you can take the subway and alight at Jegi-dong station and use exit 2 to enter the market. This market closed at 6pm and I was a bit too late when I arrived here. The stallholders were already closing their stores and doing cleaning. However my main motive was to visit a hidden cafe at this market. There are several sections here n you won’t be able to find it easily. You can use the navigation app and still miss it. But once you see my trip moments, you will know it next time.

The Grand Breakfast
#wheretogo
If you are staying at the valley wing at the Shangri la Singapore hotel, you will be entitled to enjoy your meals at the summit room. The place looks very prestigious and luxurious. It is as though you are entering into the palace which makes it look so grand. The service there is great and the plating of the food was very appealing to the eyes too. I love the feeling of being pampered there with the meals right in front of you. If you are staying in the orchard area, be sure to consider this luxurious hotel at orchard road.

🇸🇬 Terrace Garden: It feels like Spring 🌸
#wheretogo
Stumbled upon this peaceful garden while trekking towards Forest Walk. The entrance of this particular garden was very unassuming and we had to pay attention to it. However, once we walked further up the staircase, what welcomed us was a full bloom of purple, pink flowers. I guess the Lady Luck was with us! It was very dreamy to look at such scenic landscape of the garden.

🇸🇬 Alkaff Mansion-Historical building
#wheretogo
We spotted Alkaff Mansion while doing our walking trail. It is colonial bungalow built by the prominent Alkaff family in 1918. This historic building now houses wildseed café and we saw many people were having brunch and coffee there. The ambience looked wonderful, it has beautiful outdoor lawn with a gazebo, and European-styled fountains. It's a nice old building with a classic touch.

🇰🇷 The intersection Yeonnamdong & Hongdae
You can learn and read about how yeonnamdong was constructed. Back in the days, this area is a river stream known as “Segyo Silgaecheong Brook”. It was then developed into a forest trail and then Line 2 Subway was constructed which goes all the way to Gimpo and Incheon airport. There is even a red mailbox specially built to create lasting memories. The letters and postcards in this mailbox only get delivered 2 times in a year on the biggest festival, Chinese New Year and Chuseok which is Lantern & Mooncake Festival in Singapore.

🇰🇷 Yeonnamdong neighbourhood park
Finally I have reach the residential area of Yeonnamdong park. The straight line distance from the housing area to Hongik University station exit 3 is about 15 to 20 minutes. It is a good distance and you can do a workout to clock steps everyday. There is a neighbourhood park here for the residents and the housing here looks more like public housing. The blocks of flats look just like our HDB in Singapore. The park is lovely and you can see many dogs here. It is also a fitness park and many flowers are planted here. I will walk towards this area when I come back to yeonnamdong soon.

🇰🇷 Citywalk in Yeonnamdong
I have walk through the entire Yeonnamdong district, starting from Hongik University station exit 3 and I take the anti-clockwise approach around it. There are many smaller alleys so you also can explore it too. It will be better to explore in the day because most of the cafes and restaurants close early. I also walk the residential area and mostly it is a gentle upslope so you will need a pair of shoes, no heels for the ladies please. All the cafes and restaurants here are stand-alone building. You will have some new sightings, a different feel from the usual tourist places.
#wheretogo #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip
🇰🇷 Interesting cafes at yeonnamdong/hongdae
You will find street side standing cafe, tea shop, book cafe and many international cuisine here at Yeonnamdong. It is such a quaint street because it is like a small alley with many turns and bends. Then one day it is gaining popularity and this neighbourhood becomes popular. If I have an apartment here then I will be very happy because I get to explore this wonderful neighbourhood. There is also even a fitness park area and you can bring your dogs there too. The people here are quiet and you don’t really hear much noise too.

🇰🇷 Gohyang Kalguksu@Gwangjang Market 🍜
#wheretogo
This was the hand-cut noodle (kalguksu) that was featured in the Netflix series "Street food". We could easily spot the stall by the Netflix sign and a huge crowd of people waiting to be seated. We didn't have to wait long for seats and what made me feel welcomed was the smile of the owner, Cho Yonsoon. She was so cute and humble despite her stall became so famous now. infectious. I was lucky enough to be seated right in front of her and watching her to do her magic - doughing up flour and knife-cutting them into noodles. It truly lives up to the hype despite the Kalguksu looked simple, the clear soup was very flavourful without being salty and I could taste the natural sweetness from the vegetables. Of course, the noodle The noodles was smooth and slippery and I could easily slurp them all up. Highly recommended to have a bowl of goodness here!
