Where To Stay : The Brand New Luxury Beach Resort , the Angsana Teluk Bahang , Penang
A salute and appreciation to yesteryears. This hallway separates the hotel rooms from the residences at Angsana. The panelling show cases up cycled old telephone poles covering floor to ceiling.

We , Penangites, don’t like to read, we’re usually too lazy to scroll to the bottom, the fine print is way…
Where to Eat : At Viva Victoria ‘s Psychedelic Food Garden with Penang Island’s creatives
This is first my attempt at writing since lock down, no…I lie..its since FOREVER. We are, at the moment, enjoying momentary freedom after the Movement Control Order (MCO) was lifted . “Momentary” because, we suspect, with this new found freedom we’ve touched and hugged and breathed already too much of each other.
