Sightseeing & Shopping
Malacca
Our hotel is walking distance to Jonker Street. Like our boutique hotel, the street reflects the Malacca Baba-Nyonya culture. A lot of cravings around. The street looks very different in the day & night. Night time, you will see the pasar malam along the street. But we weren't very lucky that night; everytime we stepped on the street, it starts to rain. The rain makes the shopping difficult.
Also walking distance from the hotel is the Christ Church & St John's Fort.
Those that are daring and brave enough, can take pictures with the snakes and chameleon.
Penang
Penang Hill
Taking the very sloooow cable up the Penang Hill. Very windy.
蝙蝠大伯公庙
It's near the Penang Hill. A small little temple. Like it's name, there are bats in the temple.
Kek Lok Si (极乐寺)
Climb a lots of stairs to see the big Guan Yin. Luckily there's cable car to the highest point.
Pasar Malam
Along the streets where The Ship is. If you are thinking of getting AAA imitation of gucci, prada or chanel, this is where you should go. Looks like the reaaal ones. But remember to bargain! Royston bought a Coke turning lamp. You will get to see it when we move to our new home.
Ipoh
Kellies Castle
Built by a Scottish, William Kellie Smith, but never stay in it before. There are hidden tunnel, rooms and stairs.
The house is filled with mysteries and ghost stories for many years. Partly might be due to the strange illnesses that got to the William. Or it could be the because the house was never completed. People says Williams is still roaming ard the corridors. As if it's not scary enough, they put up notices like this.
The British's pot of gold comes from the plantation that he owned. From the top of his castle, he could oversee all his plantation. Fantanstic view! But not everyone will be able to see... haha... because there's no railings built around. Those that are afraid of heights won't be able to enjoy the magnificent view.
Ling Sen Tong & Nan Tian Dong (灵仙岩和南天洞）
Amusingly, a buddhist temple and a taoist temple built side by side.
Pasar Malam
It's near our hotel actually, within walking distance. It's expensive and they hardly barge to your bargaining. In my opinion, not worth going.
Genting
We arrived rather late. Nothing much was done. Too late to pay for the Theme Park. And not enough cash to play in the casino. Din even take any pictures. Bored.
But I was glad that I got the christmas presents for my beloved friends.

怎么搞的，真是的。才夸自己几天，购物瘾又犯了！
不是手痒？是脚痒！
如果在 Pazzion 还是 Charles & Keith 之类的店买这种款式的凉鞋，起码要 $35 以上。
在 Bugis Street，只需 $15。你怎么能不心软？

The road to adulthood is tough.
I'm under lots of pressure - with the money needed for our new home and wedding preparation + I'm still in experimenting stage of my career. I even suggested to Royston that maybe we shouldn't go honeymoon, we could go when we are more comfortable with our pockets.
Things that I'd done to cut down on spending:
1. Cut down on shopping
My credit card says $41 only! yeah! so proud of myself.
2. Cut down on restaurant
No more extravagant living. I never like the food at foodcourts but I dun mind eating at hawker centres. Have been eating more meals at hawker nowadays.
3. No more taxi
I'm known as taxi uncle's best friend, I'm used to taking it almost everyday. But now I hardly take any cab anymore. So far, i've only taken 2 times for this month. I deserve a clap?
I need to brainstorm what else can I cut down on.

Addicted to Bugis Street, especially the $10-street. You will be surprised by the items that u could get there.
Floral-printed Blouse
it's a 2-pc. cost $16, after bargaining.
remember my theory on "limited stock" or "only one"? this is one of those. many same design/cutting but only 1 for each floral print.
Many were amazed by the cheap but stylish blouse I wore.
Star-printed Tunic
2-pc as well. cost $10 ONLY.
initially wanted yellow color, but it's sold out... so bought the white one instead. for $10, it looks decent, goes well with shorts, jeans or leggings.
★Star Buy★
so wanted to own 1 of these Victorian-style scarves... went Novena's "Little Korean", the prices is ard $30+. went to Bugis Junction, the prices goes as high as $100+! SCARY! lastly, went to Bugis Street. First time I was there, one Auntie, tried to up-sell, typical selling pt.
Auntie: 一件＄18，买多一件裙子算你＄30。可以吗？
After much consideration, I went back to the store again a week after. this time, it's a pretty 老板娘. she quote me 1 for $10! ha ha... so i bought 2 without much 2nd thots.

Women always have this problem.
Salegirl: "You look great in this. This is the only pair in Singapore."
Wow... It's 80 bucks. For a pair of no-brand shoes?
But it's imported from Korea.
The most important part is: "It's the only pair in Singapore!"
We always fall for this.
I'm most afraid when I bump into someone wearing the same clothes as myself. So I couldn't help but bought the pair of shoes back.
If anyone had this pair of shoes, dun hesitate to text me. I'm going to give that shop hell.
