Once you reach Bukit Bendera you shall see this building. You wont miss it as there are many tourist swarming the building. 

Sorry, I was only able to photo it when i got down of the hill.

To get up the hill, we have to take a train that took over the job of the cable cars, haha. It was fun!! First time i get to experience a train that is inclined about 40 degrees haha.

Photo credit belongs to Hotel.com ( I do not own this)

Just wanted to show you what the train looks like.

The weather is cold and the air is fresh as can be. You get to experience Genting Highland without even 30 minutes! It took me hours to get to genting highland from KL. Besides that, have I forgot to tell you about the view of Penang from here ( just magnificent).

They have photo areas which you have to pay to go in but I opt out haha>< because I was on a budget.

Then I took the stairs to the place where you can photo with the ancient cannons.

This is the indian temple which has a magnificent architecture.

I wish I could bring the pearl back XD just kidding.

 I had a great time and even took pictures as a memory.

Here lies the love locks that couples would definitely dig it. Remember to leave yours too as a memory.

I took a photo but I look horrible after the jog.

I know people would freak when they see this. Its found inside The Monkey Cup which is a cafe that sells coffee. Free shuttle is provided for those who buy a drink as it is quite a distance away from the train departure area. We jog all the way there!

Scorpions

Me looking at my shoes in the middle of this shoot and it turned out like im sleeping.

There are many beautiful houses on the jogging track you can see.

We also did not let go of this post box which dates back in time. You cant find it anymore this days.

So thats it, hope you enjoy my blog and please have a look at my other post too ^^

Top budget hotels (Taiwan WOW hostel ximending review)

Top Taipei Hostels

Me and my friends went on a backpacking trip to taiwan last summer and this is where we stayed in ximending

We were in a rush that i couldnt even take some photos b4 we left.

The place i recommend is

Wow ximending hostel 

click on the link above for more details on the booking

It is a very hyped up place where many teenage and couple travellers stay mostly koreans, chinese, malaysians, Europeans. You get to interact with a lot of people.

The hostel are managed by young taiwanese who are friendly and very informative. We were at wits end about our trip plans but they are helpful enough to recommend where to go, where locals eat, and how to get there.

I highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is lively. Even at night there are people sitting and chatting at the living room.

Ammenities:

Our beds are like dorm bunks but they have curtains that offer you privacy. Lockers are not enough to fit ur luggage but can fit ur laptops, priced goods fair enough. Its just beside ur bed.

Washer machine is provided (free washing powder). For the washer machine every wash is 50 twd. Theres also a separate dryer machine.

There is one socket (3 point plug) in your bunk.

Hairdryer and bathing shampoo and soap is provided. The hostel is the cleanest and well decorated.

Location:

Lastly, it is very strategic. It is in the middle of the ximending one of the liveliest tourist attrations. By walking you can reach the nearest intercity train. There are many shops downstairs such as, nike, kfc, sushi restaurants, food stalls and watsons (facemask are very cheap in taiwan). There are also perfomances in the square by young teenage performers.(Photos do not belong to me. They belong to their rightful owners.)

Every morning breakfast is free. You can prepare it yourself. Theres eggs, bread, jam, and ham. All day long freeflow coffee and tea is available.

The toilets are cleaned regularly. There is a hairdryer in every bathroom and a separate washroom. Be prepared in taiwan water hoses arent always available.

Asus A556u i7 laptop review

Asus A556u i7 laptop review

Asus was the first that comes to my mind when im buying a laptop because well its worth the money. I have not much bad experience with asus laptops.

Today im going to review the asus A556u laptop that is equipped with i7 intel and
Nvidia Geforce 940M. It has its own dedicated graphic card and has a 15.6 HD screen.

Its consider one of the affordable high specs laptop in 2016.

Advantages: it has eye care app, can run smoothly in softwares such as Adobe Photoshop, adobe premiere pro, gaming, does not overheat, light for a large screen laptop.

Disadvantages: to me the only drawbacks are it has no touchscreen and the front camera is very blur. But for the price the drawbacks are a minimal price u have to pay.

Butterworth Hokkaido ice cream

Things to eat in Butterworth, Penang

Firstly, the puff is very good and the ice cream is very generous. I love the taste but because of the long queue, waiting time is very long. It took us 2 hours to get our order. And its not a dine in. U can only take away. we came from a long way about 1 hour so we were left to wander the place like 3 lost souls><

I was so happy when its finally our call haha

This is how it looks like and their signboard

Review portable karaoke k088

I was excited to review this karaoke device and so here goes.....

I bought at a very affordable bargain at a website.

It comes with a usb charging port and audio recording port.

Sound quality ? Amazing. In fact it can replace ur conventional microphone.

Besides, when u are in a low battery phone emergency u can treat it as a powerbank(low charging though) but serve great in emergencies.

All you need to do is search the microphone through ur phones bluetooth and your ready to go ^^

The echo is very natural and the recording is very clear. I love this product so much. It can help you save up tons of money raher than going to a karaoke room that costs rm30 each time and u only get to sing awhile.

Nibong tebal must try food

Nibong tebal must try food

金比羅

This place opens around lunch hour. Its called 金比羅。The actual location is not easy to find even though its just beside the main road.

Location: find maybank nibong tebal, it shud be on ur left then turn left when u see the jeti kelip kelip round about. Do not enter he roundabout (stick to the left road). Go straight , u will experience the road curve to the left after that go straight until u see a brick red building on ur right.very obvious.

The place looks like a musuem. Its very well kept. But please bear in mind the service is slow paced. Do not expect eating fast here.

We ordered a bowl of special laksa which is pretty spicy and since its.special it has fish and prawns. We also ordered their famous fried tofu which is delicious and tastes like fishcake. 

No aircond but they have a beautiful leisure experience. U can see fish ponds, eat in the gazelle. 

Prices are above average around rm6-7 per bowl of laksa. Might change according to time.
