This is what every major port that has been under a colonial power have something in common---- A military fortress.If Melaka has Fort Santiago and Manila has Intramuros,PENANG has Fort Cornwallis.To be accurate though, Fort Cornwallis served more as an administrative fortress rather than…
My wife is into this habit of going to her co-workers house in the village.Whenever we have no out-of-town trips,she usually spends time with them doing endless chatting.They sing videoke,do movie marathons and stuff.It's a girl thing.And when girls gather,food abound.They loooove…

Walk around Georgetown Penang and it will only take minutes to realize how diverse the place is.It's a mix of different races,cultures,smell,taste and even colors.And when I say colors,I mean it in a literal way.Here,shops,houses,mosques are awash with pain of different hues.Catchy an…

I was initially worried flying out of Manila to KL late at night.The 3.5hours flight would mean we'll be landing in LCCT at around 11:30pm.Given all the immigration check and stuff,we'd be clear at around 12:30 or 1am.The concern was,the transportation from LCCT to downtown KL…
