WISHING ALL MY READERS A VERY HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR

What could a guy on the bus sitting next to a big guy who is snoring so loudly that the eardrums is having problems listening to even the music over a stereo headphones do with a camera on hand? No, I am definitely not gonna stuff my expensive lense into his mouth... So this is what I did.. I found an interesting kid seated in front of me to be my involuntary model.. Curious kid... peekaboo Seriously this kid reminds me of my hyperactive and curious childhood.. *Chak He was making noise in the bus and guess what happened? The mum just stuff his mouth.. That doesn't really stop him. Just like when I was young and energetic For about 2 hours the kid had been climbing up and down.. Finally he is tired.. He slept for like an hour.

Did you even know that there are specific amounts to follow to a certain temperature and duration makes all the difference in the coffee you sip? Heck, even they way you drink makes a difference... Even the way you roast the beans makes it different... This is what I have learned on my visit here.. The owner gave us an impromptu coffee appreciation class... Located at the hidden corner around Bishop Street intersecting with Beach street and part of the Logan Heritage Building... I was actually given the chance to get to know coffee better as part

If there is one place I would hang out and be stuck in the "olden days", it would be this cafe. It's name is unique in a sense that behind 50 doesn't mean that it's really pre 1950s but it is named so because it was the shops address which was behind lot No.50 which was split into front 50 and behind 50. about A few minutes walk from the front door of Cititel Penang where you just walk straight along the road facing the front door.
