♥ Penang 101 Lost Kittens Mural Arts/ Street Arts

In conjunction with the Georgetown Festival 2013, 101 Lost Kittens project was initiated by installing kitten street arts across the streets in Georgetown UNESCO World Cultural Heritage area (mostly around Victoria Street and Armenian Street) which made up a total of 101 kittens. This project aims to create awareness of helping find home for stray animals. Glad that we managed to find all the 101 Lost Kittens street arts during our Raya holiday family trip to Georgetown. How awesome. Here to share with you the 101 Lost Kittens streets arts (the latest penang street arts) with the name as well as their location. For other street arts in Georgetown Penang, you can visit the following link (my previous blog post) for more information: (1) Street arts by Ernest (2) Wire arts

Here I include the map of location for all the kitten murals to ease your search:

101 Lost Kittens #1 Skippy To Penang For Animal Awareness

Location: Armenian Street

You can see how giant is this mural as compared to my sister and me. 

In addition, this Giant Rat mural which is not a part of 101 Lost Kittens, was created by anonymous artist to accompany Skippy. Really creative.

101 Lost Kittens #2 

Location: Armenian Street (next to Skippy)

Sorry that I couldn't find the name for this street art.

101 Lost Kittens #3 Love Me Like Your Fortune Cat

Location: Armenian Street (opposite Skippy)

101 Lost Kittens #4 Fine 500 For Littering, Sterilize Instead

Location: Armenian Street Ghaut

101 Lost Kittens #5 I Can Help Catch Rats

101 Lost Kittens #6 No Animal Discrimination Please

Location: Armenian Street

This one was the most difficult street art to be found. We couldn't find it on the first day. Then the next day we searched for it again. It is located at the back of the street, painted on the wall of Edelweiss Cafe. So, a photo with this art is a must. Good luck :)

101 Lost Kittens #7 Shade Me If You Love Me

Location: Victoria Street

This one is my favorite out of so many kittens street arts. It is really a creative art and I like the stunning color combination of this art. 

Not sure if you notice that the umbrella handle was actually broken (from the photo above). I try to connect the handle back to the umbrella but couldn't. 

And this is the enlarged photo of the kitten artwork above which located at the top left corner.

♥ Malaysia First Wax Museum at I-City?

My friends told me that Malaysia first all star interactive wax museum is now opening at I-City Red Carpet. It was a big surprise, but interactive? #uncertain. I then did some search on the internet and managed to find more information from The Star Online. There are a hundred of wax figurines of famous personalities around the world. They are all very lifelike and the faces are quite elastic. You can pinch and pull their faces. Seriously? I had been to the wax museum in Hong Kong (Madame Tussauds), but this first wax museum in Malaysia is comparable and more interesting because it is interactive? A sudden thought strikes me. What about the entrance fees? RM100 for adults and RM50 for children. For Malaysians with MyKad, the admission fees are RM80 and RM40, respectively. A bit pricey (for me). Still cannot decide whether to visit or not. Have you visit? Please share your thought whether it worth the $$ to go.

♥ Happy Potted Plant (Ice-cream Cake), Sip & Chew Cafe, Georgetown Penang

11-08-2013 Sunday 

Georgetown Penang is really an amazing place. We had a splendid time during our last visit to Georgetown, exploring those interesting street arts as well as scrumptious foods. There are so many cafe with special concept mushroomed in the town that we would like to visit, for example, Sip & Chew Cafe. Sip & Chew Cafe (one of the cafe in our food hunting list) is a cozy cafe which located at Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling, Georgetown Penang. 

♥ Unbeatable movie night

A short update:

Yesterday night (14-8-2013) was really great -feeling amused. Decided to have Carl's Jr famous star burger for dinner. Not really budget friendly but at least a hearty dinner. The fries is still good and irresistible although the burger quality seems not as good as it was, hmmmm. Then, head over to Snowflake to buy Ocha'Ryo before enter into cinema for the movie "Unbeatable". I'm now in love with Ocha'Ryo. The green tea blended ice really tickles my taste buds, but I still hate red beans. 

♥ Sunway Pyramid EleFUN Holiday: The Pygmy Elephant Sculptures

From 16th to 31st of March 2013, Sunway Pyramid has initiated the EleFUN Holiday: A Pygmy Elephant Project, with the aims to create public awareness for the vulnerable wildlife. One of the highlights during the EleFUN Holiday was the display of pygmy elephant sculptures painted. They are painted by independent local artists and talents. I had captured some of the sculptures to share them here, in case you had missed these beautiful sculptures:

♥ Penang Wire Arts/ Welded Iron Wall Caricatures & their location

Other than street arts by Ernest Zacharevic, there are also welded iron wall caricatures across the historical Georgetown which define the history of some of the streets and landmarks that are Georgetown icons today. In this post, I would like to share with you available installed wire arts/ welded iron wall caricatures that I had visited, with their location included. Furthermore, if you would like to catch a glimpse of Ernest Zacharevis street arts/ mural paintings, please visit my previous post at ♥ Georgetown, Penang Street Art/ Mural Painting (by Ernest Zacharevic)

For your information, I will divide the wire arts into two parts:
