  We are still cheered in thoughts about our last minute decision of traveling to Penang despite the ifs and buts (like staying there for only a few days). It is a long story, but yes, we spent the Holy Week in this island prominent for its representation of East and West (claimed to be one of the 10 islands that one should explore before he dies). Although after a short stay, it marked more on me as “one of my weakest spots” (read: food heaven).

- The executive bus

  This is a long overdue post, which I am finally putting ”in print”, especially for those who asked about our executive bus experience when I tweeted about it months ago.
  
  We have tried traveling from Singapore to Malaysia by air which was a breeze at 30-minute flight. While in Kuala Lumpur, we were reoriented (I had a first glimpse through KG’s post) by the hotel staff that trailing through the executive buses seems more attractive. Hence, from Malaysia back to Singapore, we jumped in it. We took the 18-seater (3 x 6) Five Stars bus and hardly believed the comfort it offered. It is decent, homey, armed with entertainment (like the in-flight) system, and has more leg room than the economy flights. While I insinuate that it was like being in a plane, you will not see the clouds up close but the refreshing views of Malaysia instead.
  
  (I am not sure if I mentioned in any of my Malaysia travelogues that most of its views and corners are very much like the Philippines’.)

  Marhaba! That's "hello" in Arabic. I am an expatriate based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). I started writing about my adventures and misadventures few months before arriving here at winter of 2008. I have 2 cats and a dog who live harmoniously together. I am also surrounded by kindhearted, crazy, funny and indescribable humans! I was a dormant blogger for almost 3 years because of countless reasonable justifications like watching football, postgraduate studies, sleeping, traveling, caring for the world, and more! :) I am just so happy that I am back! It is never too late to catch up with the people and things we really care about. Feel free to look around.

  My first born furr-mily member turned 8. He blows the candle every year, but he never eats his own (delicious human) cake hahaha. He had a tuna and chicken feast though. #winello @thesquarerootofcatsanddog
  
  IG absentee because I have been (am) busy in putting my better foot forward. 💪🏻🤣🍀
  
  The night before Little J decided to be someone from Harry Potter series for their Character Day at school. (She was #sherlockholmes last time.) I immediately unlocked our #anythingharrypotter treasure chest. Not photographed are the #maraudersmap, undergarments (still in packaging) 🤣, bathrobe, more socks in the laundry basket, #platform9¾ ticket, coasters, #gryffindor banner, geeky eyeglasses, and more. I didn't realize that we don't have the #hupplepuff scarf yet. We accumulated these stuff through the years as souvenirs from our travels, except for the bookbag which we ordered from an Etsy seller from Russia and stamp/ writing set which was gifted. What a happy memory lane. ♥️ #pottermania #harrypottermerch #collectorsitems #albusdumbledoreswand
  
  Even before #mariekondo or #konmari became a verb, we had and will always 'try' to repurpose things. I remember discussing with some guests in Little J's surprise party that sustainability was one of the main considerations in our decors preps. Here's how we repurposed some of the paraphernalia from the party. Re-homed in the living room. ✨
  
  What an era. One of my fave shape shifters. May you rest in peace, @karllagerfeld 🙏♥️ #creativedirector #houseofchanel
