On Cloud Nine - 26 Nov 2013

Planning for our overseas travel could be stressful. Especially when travelling with two kids and a teenager. Before the start of the school holidays, we made sure Jin's passport was renewed to avoid over-crowding at the immigration department. We've to apply for the Chinese visas too. This was a tricky time to pack cos it's at the end of autumn. When we checked the weather forecast in Guangzhou, it's between 18C-22C, so we only brought along our light jackets. Amidst the excitement and last minute research on the places of interests, I've even forgotten to pack some essential medications for my kids!! That's life.

Kids are such curious creatures at this age. Travelling with them surely enriches our travel experience. It's harder to miss out on things when you travel with kids as they need to stop, find a washroom, stretch their legs and do unexpected things every now and then. A good piece of advice that we keep in mind when on vacation is to be flexible and gather as much good memories together.  

It's hard to imagine there're things we might take for granted and not even note in our travel journal - which is a shame, cos those are things that make for great memories later on...

Brandon: "Adorable like white candy floss"

Jin: "Like snowy surface, uneven and vast"

Inside the thick, grayish cumulus clouds - often the first signs of weather changes...

Wei: "Drifting clouds like flocks of sheep in the air"

Al-Attas Garden in Janda Baik - 4 August 2012

Image
Besides being a well-known contentious writer, little do we know that Syed Hussein Alattas is also a self-taught gardener and an architect. He had built Taman Hana in Janda Baik from scratch and named after his wife.  Taman Hana sits on a 8-acre plot of land in the quiet village of Janda Baik. It boasts a collection of 1,000 species of plants including fruit trees, more than 700 big flower pots and five buildings that include the home of the Alattas family.  The good news is that it is open to visitors every day.  As we made our way past the entrance, this place appeared unkempt. It was well beyond its heyday (in 2008) but still showing off its faded beauty. Some parts were badly neglected, which was so unfortunate, because it originally was to be a quiet kampung retreat. A mix of traditional Malay, Peranakan, Indonesian and colonial British architecture and a Minangkabau styled roof. Syed Hussein had actually started building the structures in 1982 and he spent a lot of time

A Potter Village in Sayong - 30 May 2013

Pit Stop at the Perak royal town, Kuala Kangsar. The 1st rubber tree in Malaysia was planted in this town. That's about all I knew about this place. Labu Sayong or water pitcher from Sayong village, known for its health value to help migraine, lower blood pressure etc due to the special properties inherent in the local clay. Before this, we didn't know much of labu sayong.  We didn't go to the village or plan this visit. Out of curiousity, we bumped into this unassuming workshop at No. 3, Kg Setia, Enggor, run by Mohd bin Harun.  Pakcik was very open and gave us a tour of his workshop and how he makes labu sayong. His warm, friendly welcoming people made a lasting impression on all of us - a trait that we've lost in the big cities. The traditional way of making labu sayong uses hands to mould the clay into the shape of a 'labu' (gourd-like vase) but this is too slow. Now, the clay mixture is poured into standard mould blocks. It's

Spilling the Beans in Ipoh - 6 Apr 2012

Image
Ipoh's familiar specialty - Nga Choy Kai or the Taugeh (Bean Sprouts) Chicken. What else to accompany the poached chicken than the fresh, fat and crunchy Ipoh famous bean sprouts!! The bean sprouts are served blanched, with a dash of sesame oil, white pepper and soy sauce. Ipoh is a well-known food haven in Malaysia, and most will agree that Ipoh's bean sprout is the best in Malaysia. The premium-grade bean sprouts come from the Buntong New Village, which is also my husband's hometown. Growing bean sprout requires only water and more importantly, watering techniques. Madam Toon told us that there were at least 8 operators in Buntong. They were all family-owned businesses, and the three Toon brothers have been growing bean sprouts for more than 70 years.  Bean sprouts are grown from black mung beans imported from Myanmar. The beans need to be watered every 4 hours throughout the day for 5 days, no shortcut, otherwise they will be not be fat and juicy. At
