HOW TO GET RID OF ACNE AND ASIAN SKINCARE TIPS FOR ACNE

Hi fighter,


I am terribly sorry to say I didn’t manage to do my skincare routine for acne prone skin for you. This post is just sitting in my draft chilling for 2 years because each time I wanted to publish it, I have to try something new. Since I blog, I change my skincare products more than snake changes their skin. I just do not want to give the impression that it is a MUST to use 20 products in one skincare routine in order to get skin like Korean stars.

Besides, some people might think I play favoritism or write glowing reviews just because I get the products for review. You do know I don’t bash a product like there is no tomorrow but I will be honest about why it just doesn’t work for me. I don’t have HG also unless I am sure that the product(s) have work wonderfully for me in whatever situation or I just cannot live without it.

My skin was okay until my skin broke again in January 2016 because I was dealing with a lot of things. I got kick out of a job, need money to pay bills and being very sickly because I was not eating well. All in all, I was not okay inside out. SO grumbly aside and being thankful that you stay with me especially Luscious that even send me a care package. THANK you =)  .

So, here are some new tips that I use to deal with acne. You do not have to get what I use since it is just a guide.  There are many to choose and please look into ingredients.

Tips mentioned in the video:

1.  Suitable skincare products-cleanser, moisturizer and a spot treatment.

2.  Find out your allergies and avoid them. Common food allergies are milk, sugar, flour,wheat.

3.  Drink warm ginger +turmeric to help with the acne inflammation.

UNBOXING AND SHOP ONLINE FOR ASIAN BEAUTY PRODUCTS AT MOCHI BEAUTE

Hi gorgeous people =) ,

Today I am going to introduce a US based website to shop for your Korean skincare and Asian latest products.  I do know that most readers are from US and complain that shopping from Korea takes forever to reach or it got lost on the way.  Besides, cost of shipping from other country can be saved and allows you to get another product.

So, here is Mochi Beauté which is a new website that I really like.

So here is some details about Mochi Beauté.

Mochi Beauté is an online asian beauty boutique with a focus on affordable, yet high quality skincare. In the past five years there has been an enormous increase in Western world’s interest in Asian skincare and culture. Mochi Beauté strives to meet the demand and interest by curating the newest products on the asian markets and making them available to consumers in North America. Mochi Beauté gives you the opportunity to shop for the latest hit products in South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan but delivered to your home from a US based retailer, reducing the risk of international commerce and reducing door to door shipping times.

Mochi Beauté care a lot about their customer so you can just send them an email (info@mochibeaute.com) or tag Mochi Beauté on Instagram (@mochibeaute) to let them know if there are products that you want to see them carry.

Fist of all let's discuss about the website, I think the website is friendly user and finding products are just a walk in the park.  There are enough information along with ingredients to make sure that you do know what you are getting.  It is also very colourful and beautiful =) .

As for their customer service, it is top notch.  They take their customer service seriously and you can discuss with Mochi Beauté if you have questions at all. You will feel welcomed in the shop and treated like a customer. How I wish such level of service exist in my country.

Price for the products are affordable in my opinion and not marked up ridiculously like some places.  Their products are really authentic and source from the country of origin.  There are varieties of products that are really nice and not just limited to Korean products.  Many of the brands such as Maskingdom, Klavuu, SkinRx Lab and Beauty Diary are really popular for its quality and effect on the skin.

Kudos to Mochi Beauté effort in packaging.  Every items are wrapped in beautiful paper wrapping that made me feel a care package and presents arrived in the box.  I am sure you will share the same sentiment of getting something really special and it will sure make your day =).

Mochi Beauté samples

As for the best part of all, Mochi Beauté gives samples to all their customers.  How great is that?  I took the liberty and asked about the samples because I am sure that is something on every customer mind but am shy to ask about it XD .  If not, I am so sorry for sounding like a greedy one trying to make the best out of your shopping.hahahaha.

Let's go into the juicy now.  All orders come with 3-5 Klavuu samples, Japanese flake stickers, at least one small Maskingdom sample mask and a sample bag that contains about 5 mixed samples. All these doesn’t depend on the amount you order.  Here is how it look =)

Mochi Beauté gives samples

For every USD40 spent you will get another free sheet mask.  Be ensure that the sheet mask given are of great quality and =)  .  How great is that right?

How about request for samples?
Customer are more than welcome to request samples and Mochi Beauté will try to accommodate it. However, it is not guaranteed as some brands may not offer samples or the brands samples are all out.



Mochi Beauté offer international shipping.  Details about shipping can be found HERE.  If you have concerns at all, just email them at (info@mochibeaute.com) as they are happy to work with the customer.  I ensure you that they offer marvelous customer service to every customer.

PETRONAS DEEPAVALI 2016

Happy Deepavali,

It has been some time since I watch some really great web-film and I think this year Petronas came out with an amazing video depicting the stereotype that we have of others.






It is easy to judge others by the appearance without seeking the true reason.  Here is a video about Muniandy and his friend.  Can they escape the misjudgement?

In light of the Deepavali celebration, let us Malaysians learn to respect each others differences and embrace our similarities.  Let the light shines within us, respect each other as individuality and as Malaysians. Let the goodness guide us as Malaysians towards greater harmony can be achieved through greater understanding and compassion.

DURIAN THE KING OF FRUITS OF SOUTHEAST ASIA

If you are up for a challenge, then do consider putting this into your list to try in the future when you are visiting Southeast Asia next time.  There is no middle ground for this fruit.  You either love it or hate it to the core.  There is no such thing as growing to love it.  This is how this fruits work.  I have never heard someone who said they grow to love it or grow to hate it.

It is a fruit of Love at first Taste or Loathe at first Taste.  I saw this hilarious representation of this King of fruits that it is so stinky that it melted all the clothes and everything from 20km away.  While this fruit is not going to melt away anything, I can't possibly send it to any country because this is going to be deemed as weapon of destruction.

Just look at those thorns and the smell are sure getaway for the custom to think that I am sending you some sort of mass weapon!

DURIAN 

The fruit is thorny and Yes, you can kill someone with it. It is heavy.

DURIAN 

The flesh inside the durians.  The size of the seed depends on the variety.

DURIAN 

More pictures.

DURIAN 

There are many food made with this King of fruits-donuts, ice cream, cookies, chocolates, cakes and even mooncake.  Unfortunately, if you hate it then you are sure to have your head spinning every time you came across Durians.

I am lucky to like it or else I think I will be suffering when my family members or anyone eats Durians.  Durian is not something that you can hide the smell so the house next door can smell it.  If you like the smell, it smells like creamy sweet flowery jam but if you hate, it sure smell like rotten garbage truck.  I don't have any ideas how the mechanics of smells works for Durians but that is how it is. A friend who hate it at the first sight puke non stop for the whole night after eating a little of the flesh.

The flesh really depends on the varieties of Durians.  It is not a cheap stuff here even if you hate it.  The Musang King (Fox King) varieties is so expensive that I can't afford it with my poor pay.  It is not easy to get it too as it is mostly exported to Hong Kong and to China.  Musang King got its name from being very cunning. It did kill someone by dropping the fruits on top of someone's head.  You can only collect the fruits at night.

 There are some rules to eating this fruit.  You are supposed to drink some water from the rind of the Durian fruits to avoid having fever which is true.  Avoid it when you are having fever or headaches or else it will make it worse.  People who have a cold or is always having cold feet is very much welcome to eat it because it will cure the cold instantly.  It is considered a hearty fruits for those who have a 'cold' body if you can eat it without puking non stop.  Also, do not eat this fruit while drinking alcoholic drink or you will just die of heart attack if you are unlucky.

A fruit eaten to avoid vampire since you need a wooden stake to open the fruits.  *I am just joking*  It is hilarious to cut through Durian with a big saw.

So, here is the fruit of the season of Durians.  Have you eaten this King of Fruits?  Do you have a fruit that you like to eat?

Product:
RM40 for three medium size Durian.

FOOD:INSTANT NOODLES IN SOUTH EAST ASIA

Alright, this is not a healthy food post to say XD.  I am sorry that I do eat unhealthy once in awhile.  If you have been watching any Asian drama especially the modern drama from Hong Kong, then seeing instant noodles which is a common thing.  Many will question if it is that delicious.  Yes, I am afraid to say so that these instant are so good that they are addictive.

It is common here, when people ask if you can cook, it does not include cooking  'instant noodles'.  This bowl of instant noodles might look like it is cooked by some high end restaurant but it is actually done in less than 5 minutes if you include the eggs XD.

There are many flavour but this is a vegetarian flavour so it is suitable for vegetarians.

There are instructions on how to cook it.

So here is the ingredients.  It is not health so only this like once in a while.

I like it with eggs and some vegetables since eating the noodles is just boring.

It is easy to cook it.
Instruction.
1.Boils the water.
2. Once the water is boil, add vegetables and fishballs.
3. Put the noodles in and cooked for 2minutes.
4..Add fried eggs.
5. Add in the flavour according to your needs.  I usually only add half a packet or else it is too salty.


Most people in Malaysia prefer the curry, laksa, white curry which are spicy XD.  There are many other flavour such as the fried instant noodles too.  Instant noodles are really common here since it is easy to cook and delicious although they are not healthy at all.  So please do not cook this for your Asian parents or Asian parents in law because it is serious culture faux unless you want them to be unhappy about you feeding their precious children with instant food.

Want to impress your Asian parents in law?  Check some of the tough cooking recipe in my blog. XD


So, do you like instant noodles or what is your favourite flavours?

FOOD REVIEW ON MY KLUANG COFFEE

Hi foodies,

I am sorry for lack of food reviews or recipes.  Here is a food review on  MyKluang Coffee.
Kluang is famous for coffee and food.
This outlet I went is in Kluang.  It is a corner lot shop next to Aeon Kluang.  You will find most people are here for their drinks and cakes.

MY KLUANG COFFEE

Bat theme

Bat theme carved with your table number.

Very nice, clean and beautiful interior design.

Chrysanthemum tea .  The tea tastes great =) . Not too sweet but just just nice and it is really fresh brewed with the perfect temperature.

Kuey Teow goreng.  There is quite a lot of bean sprouts in this plate.  The kuey teow goreng feels lukewarm which is not a preference since I like my food warm.  The taste is acceptable but nothing really great about it.  There isn't much ingredients in it but for the price of RM5.90 I guess I can't ask much.

Tomato Spaghetti comes with a lot of sauce so much so that my spaghetti is soak in it.  I wouldn't complain if is not that sourish.  The spaghetti is well cooked and it is not too soft except for the sauce. I wish they could make it less sourish T_T .  Portion is good because it is just right for my big stomach.

Mee Rebus is average because I keep comparing it with the one in Perak which is the best Mee Rebus I have ever tasted.  This is sweet and I guess it is the usual mee bandung which is supposedly sweet and comes in brown sauce.  The ingredients and portion are great but not the sauce.  I am sorry that this is another rant.

Classic Fish and Chip
Okay, after so many rants, here is a food that I like.  The wedges are really warm, soft and crispy.  The portion of wedges, the fish and chips are also huge which I think is really cheap for that price that I pay.  It comes with two sauces which is really thoughtful so I can dip into whichever sauce I like.  I will recommend to order the fish and chips, any of their drinks or their cakes which I didn't because I am too full to order dessert.


Their customers service is great.  The waiter serving us repeat the items I orders and serve us once we have seated despite other customers coming in.   The workers wear clean uniform and are quick to our request. Their toilets are really clean and well maintained.

Overall, I think My Kluang needs to improve on some of their dishes because seriously that is going to drawn more customer in.  Other than that, everything is great and I would visit My Kluang again.


Food prices:
Mee Rebus RM4.90
Classic Fish and Chip RM11.90
Fried Kuey Teow RM 5.90
Tomato Spaghetti RM 7.90
Chrysanthemum tea RM1.90

Price include GST and they provide free wifi =)

RANDOM: WHAT ARE THE TOP QUESTIONS PEOPLE LIKE TO ASK ME?

I am actually bore and you are probably too so I think let’s go into the questions people like to ask me.  Over the years, I have received emails or people pm me in the facebook asking me these few same questions.  Here, I am going to say what I think about those questions.  So, just take it as a laugh XD . 

Acne related questions

I already mentioned millions time that I am not a doctor nor am I trained in one.  I am just a beauty enthusiast that have tried through trial and errors that I have found products and tips that works for me. Please check if you have the same skin type, allergies and living in the same warm humid weather.

My skin is this this this… tell me what to buy?

-          I really don’t like this question when people asked me to direct them immediately to what they should buy.  I am not a doctor.  Even doctors need tons of information and see you before making judgment. Don’t just send me a photo and expect me to do miracle with that alone.  I am not paid and if you are only willing to look for some products that I have never tried before, do it at your own risk.  Besides, people go to dermatologist and they are usually prescribe with pills while I can’t since I am not a doctor. So, don’t come to me when you seriously need more than just a better skincare routine.  I think I have mentioned if you have tried many of the things I mentioned, then better just go to see a doctor because I can’t do anything for something that is internal and severe.

I am using green tea foundation. Why it doesn’t help my skin?

-First, it is makeup and obviously when brand marketed it as having green tea, I am sure it is very low in the list so don’t expect a makeup product to help your acne prone skin.  I think I have mentioned makeup clogged the pores. People like to think that all the wonderful plant ingredients are going to do wonderful thing in MAKEUP. MAKEUP not matter what it is is still MAKEUP and won’t get rid of skin problems and care for the skin.  I don’t think I ever said that Foundation gets RID of my acne or soothes my skin right???

I am in this country. I want to buy these things. Get it for me now.

I think I have mentioned millions time that I am NOT A SHOP and I don’t sell things. OR there are these nasty people trying to get free things or scams?  There is link to the shop if you want to buy.  Some people don’t even get it when I already said that I don’t sell things and is not a SHOP.  Keep telling me to get the products for them which I am pretty sure that they are scammers.  Some understand that I don’t sell and usually inform them of the another brand for it as well where they can get it.

Do you photoshoped your photos because your skin looks good?

Personally, I don’t know how to use photoshop. I am terrible at it and I am just using the photoscape to edit the brightness and to watermark it.  My skin as you know is acne prone so I break out easily when I use something wrong.  That is why I don’t blog daily as my skin can’t keep up with constant trial.  Do you know how afraid I am every time I have to try a new product?

Besides, I usually try a product for a month or at least two weeks before putting it up on my post to be sure of my views on it.  I also continue to use those products until I ran out of them because I don’t want to waste products.  I don’t know how to even use concealer to put up makeup so you will usually see my total bare face for every skincare products I have tried. Besides, I don’t like to apply makeup when I am just going to go sleep then after the skincare.

My skin is not ‘good’ everyday.  Sometimes I have redness because my skin gets irritated.  So please don’t talk about good genes because I have a whole face of acne in the past and my father have severe acne that has pits all over his face.

You are beauty blogger, why don't you do makeup review often?

Actually, I only use eyebrow and also lip products because I am honestly terrible in choosing colour based on just the website.  Besides, I rather spend money on skincare than makeup that I will probably just use few times since I am lazy and have no events that needs me to wear something nice.  Some people doesn’t even  know when I use makeup or don’t so might as well go bare face.  Another is I am lazy to practice the makeup on my face so I am not good with makeup.  I am more excited with lips products and eyebrow than with the latest foundation that has the texture of serum.

Are you paid for your reviews?  You seem to get many products for free.

I am not paid for my reviews-not a cent because I don’t think it fits my principle if I am told to write a glowing review even when I hate the product.  I won’t use words like “trash, useless’ and harsh words to describe the products I do not like.  This go across all products be it I bought it myself or sponsored ones because I think people will know if I am just trying to sugar something up or to damm that product too much because I hate the people or the company for breaking promises.  Besides, I think brands should probably take views into consideration to produce better products instead of being smug about it.

I received sponsored products so that I have more products to review or just because I am curious about a certain product. Okay, I do admit that being a poor working person with the whole family to feed makes me unable to spend on things too expensive on so having some sponsored products help me to have more varieties.  I am really grateful and thankful when I do received products and so I try to review them with my best effort and be honest about them.

Another thing is it is not good to keep switching products after products and that is why some will only accept high end brands or do makeup since it is risky, product might wreck the skin and no one wants to wake up with a pizza face.  Besides, it is not easy to show you my real skin especially when it is bad and I look like crap.

So, I think that are my opinions and it is not trying to defame anyone.  If you have any questions, do leave it in the comments section.


Opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.  It is also not to tarnished or to disgrace anyone.

TIPS:DO AND DON'T DURING YOUR MONTHLY CYCLES

Sorry,  this is a girl thing which might be some embarrassment to read for male out there.  I wrote this to share about the Asian stuff which some people out there might be curious to know.  Personally, I have terrible cramps during my monthly thing so there are some things that I do and don't do to make the pain bearable.  Else I will be on the floor and the pain is only temporary eased after I eat painkillers.  My mum is a traditional minded person and so she doesn't allow me to have painkillers.  Instead these are the few things that helps.

Traditional Chinese medicine talks about 'cold' and 'warm'.  It is not the water 'hot' or the ice 'cold' thing but a principal of every food has it 'aura'. Don't ask why the food is considered 'cold' or 'hot' because that is how it is.  The Chinese believes about the balance of Ying Yang.  So, when woman is having monthly thing, it is consider 'weak' and so should avoid some certain food.

Don't

1. Don't drink green tea
- green tea is 'cold' so it will makes the stomach area 'cold' and make the blood clot more which is really not good as it will cause you more pain.  It is good to drink green tea on other normal days but avoid this when you have your monthly thing.

2. Don't wash your hair on your first day
-the cold air can get into the pores of the head and make your body more prone to pain.  This is true if you do not want to have frequent headaches or migraines.  If you wash it on the second day, make sure to dry it as soon as possible.  Don't sleep with your hair wet.

3. Don't bath with cold water
-bath with warm water to encourage blood flow. cold warm makes the stomach area cold so if you are not in pain the first day, you will the next month.

4.  Don't eat something sour (no lemon or tamarind)
-In Malaysia, we have this Laksa which is spicy sour so this food is supposed to cause more 'bleeding' and pain.  Yeah, I accidentally drank this and almost die 'bleeding' a lot for 7days.

5. Don't eat anything 'iced' or from the fridge directly  or ice
-it is considered that anything from the fridge has a 'cold' air to it so cold stuff is not good for you.  Cooked food are different.  SO, say goodbye with your cold bubble tea or ice cream for few days

6. Don't sleep in air conditioner or on the floor
-sleeping in air conditioner means that you are putting your body along with all the 'cold' stuff and make your body even 'colder' when you are supposed to warm up your body.  it is the same as the floor because floor has 'water' that gets into the skin and hurts the body.  There is where the cramp comes.

Do

1. Drink warm ginger tea, eat dark chocolates and grapes

-ginger tea is 'warm' so it helps with the blood flow. You are not supposed to drink ginger tea if you are going for surgery.  I am not joking here. ginger is similar to ginseng.  It is not for one who is going for surgery (not matter what surgery it is).

You can drink plain water but make sure it is warm plain water and not those straight from the fridge.
Dark chocolates and grapes helps with the pain.  SO, get those food ready every month.  Fresh ginger is not as useful as the yellow powdered dry ones.  Good dry powdered warm ginger are warm the moment you drink. You can actually feel the warm fuzzy feeling going into the throat.

2. Wear socks
-the foot is the part which is 'cold' so wear socks to sleep. You can apply some 'warming' balm on your soles and your stomach.  The only warm balm that I like is the one from Thailand(Siang Pure Balm). The balm is in a 12g glass jar and aluminum cap.  If you are lazy to wear socks, then just make sure your blanket is thick enough to warm your leg.

3. Eat more warm food
-Of course with this, I don't mean heated food from the fridge. Try some sandwiches, meat, bacon or red meat.  We generally need more 'warm' food so it is meat.  Lesser vegetables since those are cold.


4. Wear clothes that covered the shoulder area and stomach
-Basically when we have the monthly thing, the body 'cold' and weak so don't exposed those 'weak' area to coldness which can disrupt the 'Qi' around the body.  Even if it is so warm and humid in Malaysia, I will wear long sleeves and thick clothes on the few days else I can become sick easily.

5. Eat nutritious food the day after your monthly cycles
-it is the best time to take some 'warm' herbal food the day after your monthly cycles to help replenish your body.  In Indonesia, they eat 'Jamu' while in here the Chinese will drink some sort of herbal soup.  It is also for young looking skin.  Most people will drink those red dates, ginseng, some herbs plus black chicken.  If you are rich, probably sea cucumber or ginseng. XP  Poor people like me will just have to make do with eggs, meat and ginger.  It isn't as fantastic as ginseng but it is still better than nothing.



I think that are the tips that I wanted to share with my dearest readers.  All the advices I talk about comes down to the same thing-keep your body warm with 'warm' food and avoid 'cold' stuff because those disrupt the blood flow and the thing that cause cramps.  Everyone has different 'Qi'. I have friends who don't fall sick or have cramps unlike me who is a sick fragile person.  Just like acne, I wish that I can just use plain water for my face or do not need to deal with all these monthly pain thing.

Do let me know if you have any question for me or any tips that you want to share here. Thank you.

You can use chicken to replace the trotter.

So are you still with me or some of you are already fainted looking into amount of  NSFW ?

The steps might look little and easy considering that I did not mention the amount of time to clean the sea cucumber as well as the time one need to clean the trotter properly.  Make sure to really clean the sea cucumber or it will taste really horrible.

My friend doesn't like sea cucumber because it is tasteless and most people feel like you are eating a blob of tasteless slob. However, beauty enthusiast loves it for the protein and collagen without adding extra pounds onto the body. Well, natural collagen inside the body to get the anti ageing effect which is better than sea cucumber cream?

TRADITIONAL FOOD LOST IN TIME- CHINESE CASSAVA CAKES / TRADITIONAL CHINESE TAPIOCA CAKES RECIPE

Cassava root is a staple food in many countries. It was the food eaten during the war to replace rice because it was easy to grow. If you have read or watch in many video, cassava is actually poisonous if you don’t know how to prepare it. Now it is no longer consider ‘cheap’ since not many people grow it.


Nowadays, cassava appears inside bubble teas as pearls.

I love the fried tapioca but well it is not really that healthy. Here is a recipe for a healthy traditional Chinese tapioca cakes.

TRADITIONAL CHINESE CASSAVA CAKES / TRADITIONAL CHINESE TAPIOCA CAKES RECIPE

TRADITIONAL CHINESE CASSAVA CAKES / TRADITIONAL CHINESE TAPIOCA CAKES RECIPE

Ingredients:

300g Tapioca /cassava

fried dried shrimps
cooked shallots
Chillies removed the seed
Pinch of salt
pinch of sugar
pepper
green onions
200ml water (or just enough to make sure it is not too soft)
100g flour


Steps:

1.  Grind the cassava with a grinder.  You can also smash it but it won't taste that good. Pour the extra water away.

2.  Add in all the other ingredients.

3.  Pour it into the pan.

4.  Steam it for about 20minutes.

5.  When it is cold, you can fried it if you like to make it more firm and crispy.



Enjoy them. It is nice to serve for tea =) .  This is a traditional Chinese cakes and only people during the olden days eat it.  I think this has now become extinct.  I don't see this anymore.  Besides, the younger generation doesn't like these kind of cakes anymore.  Ermm... I am not that old if it gives any impression that I sound ancient. XP



Tips: Do not reuse the water that you use to wash the cassava as they are poisonous.

TRAVEL IN MALACCA, MALAYSIA

Hi travelers,
Wanting to travel to Melaka, Malaysia?

I have shared about the food in Jonker Street and the famous Nadeje Mille Crepe so today I am just going to share about the views around Jonker street which is within walking distance.

Jonker Walk. Here is the end of the Jonker Street actually. So, I am walking from the end to the front

.

The only washroom in Jonker Street. You will be greeted by a muscular man XP . He the father of bodybuilder XP

The famous hard rock Cafe

Here is what you will see once you are out of the Jonker Street, a red bulding.

The road is Masjid Selat Melaka (Mosque of Strait of Melaka)

Here is the river which is extremely stinky and dirty in the past. It smelt like sewage in the past. XP Now it is place for the river cruise. I did not go for the cruise as there isn’t much to see in the afternoon. It is around Rm15 for the cruise.

It also the place for the traditional cendol.

Melaka Art Gallery



Right opposite this is the Jonker Street.

Church Melaka 1753

The motto of “Not to mess with Melaka”. Hahahaha XP. I wish to use as my motto too XP

The one below is the state of Melaka.

Muzium, there are lots of museums in Melaka but I am not interested in anything that is not ‘free’ because I am a ‘free’ person XP.

Museum

Museum

So, here is the back of the famous person because I didn’t want to pay to take his stone statue XP

The Saint Paul hill. My friend is too tired to be climbing it up so please spare her from this torture that I have to put her through. XP

Here is the fragment monument of the A famosa wall. Now, there is only the gate left here. Everyone was so busy taking photos there so I just took one photos from far. I am sorry if you do want to see the close up of it.

This is the Doraemon fair held in Mall. There are Doraemon merchandise sold but they are generally very expensive XP. So, here are just the photos of it. I wish the door is coming to reality soon so that I can just travel around with foot instead of cars which is way of a hassle. Many here drives like a mad person here that I feel that my life is threaten every seconds.

Here is the end of the photos around Jonker Street. It was just a one day trip XP.

There is nothing much to see unless you are interested in ancient stuff like museum. I generally just eat non-stop when I got travelling.



I hope that you will enjoy reading this post. Thank you and see you in my next posts. =)
