怡保的壁画在哪儿呀？

立陶宛画家恩尼斯(Ernest Zacharevic) 在槟城的壁画风靡了整个马来西亚，其中最著名的莫过于三番四次被人淋咖喱汁的〈姐弟共骑〉。话说槟城的壁画现在已经是越来越多了，但是到目前为止我还是没有到访过。

显然这一次《漫无目的的怡保之旅》并不是为了壁画慕名而来，纯粹是来到了，就去看看吧！而且还是临时用手机上网查看壁画的确实地点，感谢Giga Circle - 小雯的分享，我们都是靠这那个地图东晃西晃地去“寻宝”的。虽然我们去的当天是周末，但是人潮并没有很多，还有人盛装打扮特地去拍那个壁画呢 :P

除了《老人喝咖啡》和《纸飞机》比较偏远以外，其他的壁画都是比较集中的。《老人和咖啡》非常的显眼，基本上可以找到大草场，就可以看到他了。至于《纸飞机》则是和他相隔几个小巷而已，起初还以为很远，加上很多停车位不怕没地方停车，所以我们是开车过去的。

其中最容易看到的就是《大咖啡乌》，在Maybank正对面的停车场里。我们都是把车泊在那儿然后步行地去找其他壁画。

和停车场相比邻的停车场就是《蜂鸟》啦！不仔细找还真容易把它给略过。。

小女孩找东西

找了老半天才找到这个《小咖啡乌》。

这个应该是《环保叔叔》新请来的帮手吧？

最后一个就是我个人特别喜欢的《采锡矿》啦！我在那边拍个不停结果两个要拍照的人等得不耐烦就走掉了。Oopss....

好啦，这就是我的《探索怡保壁画之旅》啦。

现在要去吃芽菜鸡咯 :)

The Banjaran Hotsprings - 贵妇般的享受

从来没有想过在马来西亚也会有那么漂亮的地方。其实之前就有听过这个地方的名字，但就是纯粹听过，加上价位偏高，所以从来都不把它列在 《计划 - 旅行地点》里。但这次就是机缘巧合+贵人相助，就来到了这个自己从没想过会来的地方 - The Banjaran Hotsprings.

The Banjaran Hotsprings 的位置在 Tambun，距离怡保市大概是15-20分钟的车程左右。一路上都会有指示牌，即使找不到，也可以跟着 Lost World Tambun 的指示牌走，因为两个景点其实就在隔壁而已。但是价钱相差可是很大的哟 :)

The Banjaran Hotsprings，顾名思义就是以它的温泉而闻名，加上它隐秘而优美的环境，其实我觉得真的有一种置身于“世外桃源”的感觉。况且，那么大的地方，就只有25间别墅，加上他们限制12岁以下是禁止入住的，所以不必担心会人多声杂。而别墅又分为水上别墅和花园别墅，我们这一次就选择了水上别墅。总感觉住在水上的感觉特别一些。:P

一到达，就会有人出来迎接你，并且帮你把行李拿到接待处，然后就会有服务生把冷毛巾和冷饮料端给你。啊！炎炎夏日，这简直就是享受啊。

接待处

办完入住手续之后，随后就会有人领你坐上小车，沿途跟你解说这里的景点和些些历史。就比如餐厅啊、晚上喝酒听音乐的地窖、温泉、观景台、等等等等。告诉你，基本上进到里面看到那绿油油的环境，可真的是什么都可以忘掉。身心灵的放松也不外如此吧？

冒烟的温泉，解说员再三强调：不能跳下去！

然后就到达别墅啦，对于我是大到夸张啦！一个小饭厅、一个客厅、一个露台、一个温泉、一个游泳池、一间卧室、还有浴室，占地1,667平方尺，都大过我学生时期租的公寓了。。。。舒服、真舒服、超级舒服！

这个湖，不用担心，没有蚊子的

下雨了

介绍完房间后，就是我们的探险时间啦。刚才解说员说的地方，我们都要去看看！下过雨的天气最好，凉凉的，不怕晒！也许我们来的时候不是旺季，人不会很多。。。大爱啊！这里除了天然温泉，也有 Spa & Wellness Package，可以预订他们的按摩啊、Facial那些的，本来想去试试的，最后还是没有 :(

走在乡间的小路上

其实这里最主要的景点就是那个超大的天然温泉，加上群山围绕，那个是叫美仑美奂吗？

效法 #followmeto 的作者 Murad Osmann

这是在吸收灵气吗？

我们的住宿配套是包括了一个早餐的。至于晚餐嘛，你可以选择在餐厅里吃，或者是到市区里，而我们就选择了后者。也只是到附近的餐馆吃而已，因为还想早点回来，然后继续赖在客厅里，吹吹风。。。那灯光、那音乐、那景色、那环境。。。。况且屋子里那温泉和游泳池，不用就真的是太对不起自己了！

而基本上隔天就是吃了早餐就要退房了，没什么时间瞎晃。让我顿时有一种意犹未尽的感觉。。。真应该住个3天2夜！

适时候地逃离喧嚣的城市，到这青山绿水的地方沉淀一下自己，我就这样在这里，当了一天的贵妇，到了五星级的地方，彻底地放松自己，然后再收拾心情，重新出发！

#LINExmas

This Christmas, Line Malaysia is having a Line Pop-up Store @ Pavilion KL, Level 6. So we went on last Saturday <3 I'm so in love with Line months ago after using Line Apps. So if you're a Line user too, Line Characters - Brown, Cony, Moon & James are no strangers to you. 

The pop-up store located right in front of Tokyo Street which can be easily spotted. Line characters figurine as backdrop.

The wide range of products from stationary, accessories, plush toys, shopping bags, mugs, greeting cards, etc. The price range from RM 5 to (unknown) :P I remember the highest price is RM 100 for the plush toys but I'm not sure if the HUGE cushion on top of the racks are for sale, cause that one they did not label any pricing on that. So, it's unknown... 

Viewing all the merchandises I just feel like buying everything. Too bad I can't! And I think the stuffs there are perfect for Christmas gifts too. 

With every purchase (regardless of amount), you'll be given a scratchcard with serial code to download #LINExmas stickers. If you notice, there are a Line Christmas Tree at the middle of the area. Check out the ornaments... I wanna have the same one in my house!

Along the walkway there are some display boards for photo opportunity. We took photos with e.v.e.r.y characters' board... Too cute cannot resist!

So at the same floor if you walk towards the center court, you will see 3 huge Line dolls standing straight waiting for you to walk over. 

Wait! Where's the world largest #SantaMoon? We've heard he's around town too! Haha, he's welcoming the guest at the entrance. I personally love our selfie although Moon's head got cut-off, there were so crowded that we almost gave up to take a close photo with #SantaMoon. 

The pop-up store will only be available until 2nd Jan 2014. So please don't miss out if you're a Line fans too!

Merry #LINExmas!!

Mission Trip back Home

It's been a while since I last blogged, and it is now the most beautiful season in the year - Christmas! I still remember how I spent my last Christmas, everything seems to just happen yesterday. In less than a month, we will be welcoming the year of twenty-fourteen. Time to review my 2013 resolutions *scratching-head*

This year Christmas falls on Wednesday, in the midst of a working week, see no chance of a getaway too :( How I miss the random roadtrip and weekend getaway... But I'm happy that I went back to my hometown just 2 days ago. Me and my bro took the bus and we had a 3 hours chat inside the bus + mid-night (sinful) Nasi-Lemak. 1st time experience!! This reminds me that when I was younger, my aunt's family brought me and my bro to Penang, while on the way back, we chit chat the whole journey while my cousins all K.O-ed. I remembered how my uncle told the son to learn from me and my bro. *wuah* Those were the times... hahaha

The mission of this trip is to get a food processor a.k.a Christmas gift for mommy. This amazing food processor was discovered by my brother, he described this thing like can create wonders like that. Hahaha... It maybe a little bit kua-cheong, but it turns out to be a super kitchen-helper for my mum. Save time and the manual efforts!

In case you're wondering what so special about this food processor, it looks like this. I didn't take any photo of our purchase, here's the photo from Philips Malaysia site, you can read more about this product here.

So a happy mum cook us many many happy meals...

It's always so good to be back.

Next time home should be Chinese New Year!

Counting down...

Happy Mother's Day

Hey ya! It's May <3 The month to celebrate Mother's Day and my mum's birthday falls on this month too. So every year we will just combine the two dates with 1 celebration. I still remember when we were young, our kindergarten or primary school teacher will teach us to do various types of cards to wish our mother - Happy Mother's Day! My mum still have them all well-kept in a metal box. Awww...

Now that we have grown up, we no longer use greeting cards to express our loves. Plus we both are away from home, too often a phone call + a SMS can easily replace our old-time greeting cards. I think we had such long time didn't celebrate her birthday with a birthday cake. :'(

So this year, thank God for General Election #13 cause both me + the love and my brother can go back at the same time on the first week of May. So me and my brother were planning to surprise her with a birthday cake. Initially we plan for a dinner night out in some restaurant but my mum insist to cook, so we had a slight change on the plan and celebrate it after my night-out with the love. She wanted to sleep early and I told her that I bought food so that she had to wait for us :P  

Ta-daaa .... Smile and take photo *chiak*

Flipping through the photo album and I'm glad that we had few family short trip when mum visited us in KL last year.
