One Day Itinerary In Penang
I have not been to Penang for more than 20 years. During the December holiday, I decided to go to Penang as a short getaway trip with my family. So this itinerary is family friendly and have been tested. To get to Penang island, you can either drive, take a coach or take the plane. For us, we drove into Penang from the North-South Expressway via the Penang Bridge. This is the first bridge built into Penang island, which resembles the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge with cable-stayed concrete girder. It used to be the longest bridge in Malaysia until it was overtaken by its sister, the Penang Second Bridge…

Aqua Aerobics – Week 2 Challenge

My love/hate relationship with Pokémon Go and Super Mario Bros
Last year, I think my greatest change was playing mobile games. For years, I have not taken up this hobby as I know myself would get addicted to playing online games. For years, I have politely declined my friends’ requests to join their gaming community, albeit on Facebook or in person. However, not so luckily, in 2016, I got myself hooked to the biggest gaming event of the year, Pokémon Go on mobile. When it was launched in July, it quickly caught the attentions of not just the young, but the old too. The biggest reason I believe it was a success is due to it being an augmented reality…
