When It comes to Penang I always taught of food and holiday. But this year the reason I went to Penang is somewhat different – business/ blogger trip!

And this is my first ever blogger roadtrip to Penang till date! The main reason we are going to Penang is we are on a business trip where I need to attend the Malaysia Website Awards and my partner Chris to attend the M Music Festival which falls on the same day! Work Hard, Play Hard!

Firstly, meet the forever young & beautiful Kelly from sunshinekelly.com & Reia from reiayunan.com!

 penangtrip1

Last but not least my partner Christopher from Spinzer.us!

Our first stop is stopping at Bidor for lunch. Bidor was located between Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur via the North-South Expressway. The most famous food undoubtedly will be the duck-thigh-noodle available at one of the eatery that is the famous Pun Chun! The food was delicious!

After the awesome lunch we continue our journey north. All thanks Chris for driving us up 🙂 And here I am!

Feb 12 2016

Hello everyone! How was Chinese New Year? Hope the year of Monkey is treating you well with lots of wealth!

So today I wanted to share a gathering which I wanted to be part of a few years back but I can’t due to my full time job. So this year I managed to attended Seeties first ever gathering for 2016!

I always loved Thai food and finally I can indulge Thai food this year all thanks to Sen of Thai!

I am the first one to arrive so I took a few photos~

The interior is really interesting, I taught It was a coffee shop!

And here is the menu, totally resembles the coffee shops concept which you can find at the Klang Valley

I met lots of new bloggers (I am a comic blogger and I receive media kit firsthand so I rarely went out unless being invited) and finally the Seeties staff.

After around 20 mins of networking and chit chat, finally the food has arrived!! Weee!

Lots of choices! Thai style!

I present this awesome dish “Thai Baked Mussels in claypot with basil leaves”
This is one of my favorite “Steamed prawn topped with lime chili sauce”!

Not to forget this special dish “Deep-fried siakap with signature Thai chili sauce”
And finally this dish caught my eye which is the “Stir-fried broccoli with scallops”
So what’s else on the table? So I have listed the rest of the dishes below:
1. Yam Spring rolls (Po Piah Tod)
2. Classic Pad Thai ( Stir Fried thai noodle)
3. Cranberry Pineapple fried rice
4. Royal Thai Loop Chop (Colorful candy)
5. Sago Honeydew
6. Tab Tim Krob ( Thai Red Ruby)
7. Crab Spring Rolls
8. Tom Yam Goong (Creamy tomyam with prawn)
9. Sizzling beef with black pepper sauce (Nuea Phad Prik Thai Dam )

Honestly the food is awesome and magnificent, I recommend to come in groups so you can fully enjoy the uniqueness of Thai food here! Last but not least, here is the group photo!

Tadaaaa! Wefie mode! 

It was a great experience and I am glad to be able to meet everyone and enjoy the delicious Thai food at Sen of Thai! If you wish to visit the restaurant, I have included the contact information below!

Let’s be financially savvy!

Dec 24 2015

Recently I read a book which I don’t mind sharing it with everyone! Although the book costing planning is listed in SGD (Singapore Dollar) but I believe many people would benefit from this book as well! What’s more? I am actually implementing his methods as well!

The book is “Raising Financially Savvy Kids“, written by the renowned author Ernest Tan.

Front:
Back: IMG_6488

In this book, you can find out almost everything you need to know about inculcating positive money habits and attitudes to help children become future money masters. You will find a step-by-step guide to help you support your children in allocating their money across spending, saving, and sharing (Also known as the three Big ‘S’).

IMG_6486

My review on this book: This book has amazing information that you can teach or train your kids. Besides that it is also useful to manage your own spending as well! As for me, hopefully I can learn more from this book 🙂

You can grab a copy of “Raising Financially Savvy Kids” at all major bookstores such as MPH, Popular, Kinokuniya and Times. Besides Singapore, the book is also available in Malaysia! Yeahh!

Remember the DIY market (Printcious.com) which I share with you before? I actually ordered 2 stuffs for my anniversary gifts  (Click HERE if you haven’t read the previous post)

So ya, I place the 2 orders:

I don’t have anything to show (Shhh… because my GF hasn’t know about this yet!) . But to know how do you do DIY, you can click on the link which brings you to the previous post, its really convenient!  (Click HERE).

Tracking order:

Tracking orders is so convenient, you can always login with your account and check the status of your order! Here’s mine (above image).
Within 1-3 days I received the order already (Depending on the speed type of your order). Here’s a print screen of the order tracking via skynet 
So, I opened the package and guess what? The quality of the pillow I order is better than I expected! And the ceramic (11cm X 11cm) is nicely done!
Check this out, it is nicely printed!
I ordered this last month but the reason I am posting this NOW because I am planning to order for my family this Christmas and I must share my experience with all my readers out there!
And guess what? I noticed that they are having a Christmas promotion now! Head over to (Printcious.com) and check it out! (something like 20% of all orders!!)
Hurry up and give your loved ones a special gift made my you 🙂

Printcious, making your gift personalized [Review]

0 comments
Oct 21 2015

A personalized gift can be really awesome especially when you are making it for your family, girlfriend, or your best friends.

Wanted to print something memorable in ceramic tiles but who don’t know who would print it for you?

There are a lot of things that can be customize in today’s market. We have many international sites such as society6 and many more but I am currently looking for a localized site where you can personally create mugs, T-shirt, pillow case with anything you like on it, etc.

While looking for local printing sites, I heard of Printcious earlier and I immediately go check it.

Printcious.com’s tagline is “Precious Gifts from Your Heart”. 
After seeing this website I immediately register myself!
Creating an account in  Printicious.com is pretty easy! You just need to fill in some simple information or login via Facebook and you are done!
There is a lot of T-shirt designs you can choose from, which is really helpful for people who is a beginner.
Besides T-shirts, you have also other products such as ceramic tiles, which caught my attention.

This is something which I am interested in as well. If you don’t know what or how to give a present to your GF/BF, this link is helpful to assist you in choosing 😉
Now I try to customize (personalize) a pillow which I am attracted to. So what is a customize gift? Well to me it is a gift where you can fully customize yourself like inserting photos, designs, logos etc into your products, thus make it very personal and special 🙂
Since I am interested in the basic cushion, so I am going to try it out 😀
The menu is easy to understand.

The good part of this is , you can even choose your own colours of your choice! Which is convenient!
You can customize many things , including the font type, font size, its arrangement and colour. You can even insert more than 1 photos or images into it! If you done something wrong, you can just undo to your previous settings. 
If you wish to start from scratch you can just click on the “revert” button
By the end, you can just press add to cart and review all your orders before checkout*
*Delivery charges incur for purchases below RM75.
And yes there is no GST incurred! 

So sum it all, the shopping experience and the layout is clear and easy to understand. The selection option makes customizing process easier and it is really conformable while ordering the stuffs you like.

As an artist, if I were to suggest something, maybe Printcious might be interested to invite local artists to provide some works or open a special market (Something similar like Society6) so they can work together as a special e-commerce site for artists and Printcious.

And if that really happens, it would be great!  😀

And that’s all for my review!

For those who is interested, I would advise to check out their website below:
