Penang – Anime-fied By FeiGiap – These beautiful Japanese-style cartoon illustration reflects the beautiful of Penang, my hometown. Check out more of his work here.
Simple Sketch With Paper App – I don’t really know how to sketch properly, it’s kinda suck that the school (The Design School @ Taylor’s University) didn’t teach the proper way on how to do freehand sketch or things like that. So much of theory, so less of technical and hands-on. Why????? Somemore I am not born with the talent.
Well, bought a new Bamboo Stylus today for my iPad. Downloade the app – Paper and I started doing some simple sketch with it. It’s kinda fun! Check out my simple, simply, simpppp sketch below.
Visit To Point 92, Damansara Perdana – It was a site visit organized by Project Management lecturer – Ms Annette. Point 92 is a very cool building located at a new suburban township – Damansara Perdana and most of the buildings at there are still under-construction.
This Point 92 has a very cool exterior features, interesting arranged windows and a large void space at the center.
Unfortunately, it was not a nice visit, instead it was just plain chit-chatting, walking around the lobby, and even shouted by some lansi contractor at there ‘tak boleh! tak boleh! tak boleh’. He was shouting to us cause he thought we were going to take photos. At that time, lecturer has not arrived yet and he has no idea why we were there. Afterall, we were actually allowed to snap around. So why there’s nothing much to see?
Cause what’s cool is the exterior, the interior is only the lobby part only. Then that’s all. We were supposed to go to the void space – the balcony to check it out but then person-in-charge was busy, so… it’s bye bye!
By the way, I believe that Damansara Perdana will be very beautiful when all of the buildings are completed. It’s so cool leh! If you’ve got nothing to do, go there and see see then you will know what I mean.
Hong Kong: Old School Starbucks Coffee @ Central – One of the coolest place in Hong Kong to me is the old-school style designed Starbucks Coffee outlet located at Central area. I went there last year, and it was in one of my visiting list. What’s so special about this Starbucks Coffee outlet is the old-school Hong Kong coffee house design which local called it 冰室 (Bing Sutt).
This is a good blend of western coffee in to local Hong Kong culture. Although, the original Bing Sutt (Hong Kong’s kopitiam) design was not so dim, yet it brings out a warm, relaxing and mysterious feeling in the cafe.
It was full of people. It’s an attraction in my opinion and it has a unique Starbucks Coffee design. Mom went to shopping around Central area and me, dad and brother were enjoying a hot brew of coffee here.
It’s a little bit hard to spot out at Central area as you have to turn into a street and walk up a flight of stairs. Anyway, I’ve included a map below for your reference. =)

Ernest’s Mural At Chew Jetty – Boy On Boat – Went to Chew Jetty last week to check out the mural by Ernest Zacharevic which is about a boy with fishing rod on a sampan. I’m so outdated already because it had been there for like a month. Anyway, I still want to go check it out and capture photo because it’s cute.
Weather wasn’t that nice that day, it was hazy, humid and hot! Argh. I couldn’t spend a long time under the hot sun, it’s very uncomfortable as I was unprepared. Just went there spontaneously and did not expect the weather to be so hot.
Here’s Hueisean with the mural. It’s drawn on the wall of a homestay wooden house at Chew Jetty.
‘Boy On Motorbike’ 3D Wall Mural At Lebuh Ah Quee by Ernest Zacharevic – The famous painter artist in Penang who did the scary kung fu girl, the 3D bicycle brother and sister and more wall mural has did one latest mural again at Lebuh Ah Quee, just a street next to Armenian Street which features a young boy painted on the wall riding on a real motorcycle mounted to the wooden door.
Cool right? I didn’t get a chance to take closer photo of it cause I was just passing by that place. I’ve read that there’s another nice mural at Chew Jetty by Ernest too! Unfortunately, I don’t have much time to explore around as I only back to Penang for a short weekend, moreover it’s more likely a business return-home trip to me. Next holiday, I’m gonna go explore all the cool street wall art of George Town!

‘Happily Riding Bicycle’ Mural Art @ Armenian Street, Penang by Ernest Zacharevic – The very brilliant wall mural artist – Ernest Zacharevic is in Penang working on a few large wall mural art in conjunction with the coming George Town Festival which will be happening in July. One of the done work is at the start of Armenian Street featuring a 2D mural art and a 3D real bicycle.
At here you can see a little girl riding a bicycle with a small boy (probably her little brother) sitting on the back of the bicycle. The coolest part is that it has a real bicycle mounted to the wall, which makes the beautiful mural even more awesome. What a nice piece of art.
I purposely went there to check out the art and took some photos. Haha. More to street art in Penang to come. =D
