Ipoh Mari

I was in dire need of a break, so I decided to venture off to Ipoh with a couple of friends. The basic reason when deciding Ipoh was to meet up with a friend and then to explore the unknown city of Ipoh. The city of Ipoh is tucked between the towering white cliffs, limestone hills and caves, so in essence this charming city is an amalgamation of nature and architecture. Though the experience only lasted for two days, we had fun and will return one day.

L45, Bangsar

L45 is a communal library with minimalist touches. The building is located at the heart of Bangsar, and the heavy uses of steels and bare concrete was intentional. Its clean minimalist facade was to respect the surrounding building masses rather than asserting its existence through vibrant and bold design. I have to say, it's quite comfortable to spend your time reading in here, but it was rather small if it gets crowded. So you have to plan your time wisely if you wish to indulge yourselves in these books. 

Penang

I never thought that Penang would be such an amazing and exquisite place. The culture, the tradition, the old buildings, the architecture, the people, the history and the food. Penang has its own charm I must say. Though the heat was a bit unbearable and the sun was blaring, I really did enjoy walking around here and there, especially in Nagore Square and the famous art street of Lorong Armenian. The longer I walked, the more I fell for this place.

I am definitely coming back, Penang.

Langkawi 2014

My trip to Langkawi a few days ago changed something inside of me. It triggered this other side of me that I never knew it existed, never realized its presence. I never thought I would be at peace amidst trees and the hills, while feeling so insignificant whilst standing in front of the vast blue sea along with shades of green. It's like witnessing a painting, carefully rendered by a meticulous painter. While the painting's most likely based on an imagination and surreal, the sea is real, it is there.

I miss the clear blue sea, the breeze, the soft white sand and the absence of pressure. It was a perfect escapade. I miss the nightlife, the colourful lights, the cheap souvenirs and mostly, I miss the ambiance of Langkawi.
