George Town Festival 2012 Murals

Was given the mission by my daughter to locate some of the murals/painting done by this Lithunian artist for Penang 2012 festival






QUOTE
Mirrors George Town is a street art project created by international artist Ernest Zacharevic for George Town Festival 2012. The project consists of 6 to 12 large-scale wall paintings strategically placed within the core heritage zone of George Town. The painted figure drawings and portraits celebrate the multiculturalism and diversity of local inhabitants.


Currently paintings have been completed on Armenian Street, Muntri Street, and Chew Jetty.

Walking around Armenian Street and Muntri Street in the late evening, I managed to find 3 of his drawings..

The Old man, whom was his neighbour
(the painting is already fading due to the harsh Malaysian weather)

He is still painting around the town, which is a wonderful contribution...

and make it more a reason to go Penang again..

tAT'S y WE R mOM

Sometimes, or most of the time, we, parents, spoilt our kids rotten. We seem to pamper to their every (or almost) demands. A smile of gratitude from them or a compliment will blow us, faster than a typhoon, over the rainbow.

Although I do not REALLY REALLY advocate such behaviour, I must plead guilty of spoiling them.

Most of the time, I will try to cook or bake the stuffs my kids (more like teenage girls) fancy. Talk about challenging myself. No wonder sometimes we are called WONDER MOM ! We wonder where we get the energy to do all these stuff, we wonder how we could have done it and keep wondering endlessly..

My dear cousin Jes is busy and lost in her MUSHY MUSHY world, Jr Doter has always miss her fruit tarts. My cousin Jes bakes lovely tarts and she is a good cook too, but unfortunately now she is so tied up day and nite.

I decided to try my hand instead on this new venture.

Baked some tarts shells. The shells turned out a bit too hard for my liking. Spooned in some chocolate fudge (left over from the moist cake) and my doter 'kau tim' 10pcs in 10minutes. I intend to improve on the recipe..

Jogja-Fast Food

Walking around this city and seeing apa difference

Lady Angel with Her Collar of Grandeur

Our shih-tzu Angel has been wearing her special collar for the past 2 weeks after a botched spaying surgery, and she has to undergo an emergency operation.

She is such a brave dog..

The collar does make her so cuter..with the pink ribbon..so lady like..

so we are now calling her HRH Lady Angel 





They do look similar don't they..I mean the collar loh
