♥ Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA 2)

The new Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) is built with bigger capacity and superior facilities to replace the LCCT. It was scheduled to open in May 2014 and glad that we had the chance to catch a glimpse of it so soon on 14 May 2014 when we want to travel to Hatyai.

There is over 90 outlets of F&B outlets to fix your crave. 

Gateway@KLIA2. The main entrance at Level 3, the departure hall and retail stores.

Check in counters.

Be sure to reach there early because you really need a longer walking time to your boarding gates. You will definitely need more than 10 minutes. 

KLIA2 is really huge. 

The design of female washroom. It is clean.

When we are on our way to the international departure gate. A long long long long way to go. And you will walk towards and cross the Skybridge.

Still long way to walk. And we have plenty of time, so we take our own sweet time to have fun and to explore KLIA2. Nice corridor.  

Then, we get down to Level 2 to get to boarding gates. There are retails shops and F&B outlets for you to shop and chill.

Very big passenger seating area. Impressive.

There is this "Ask Me" service everywhere. Do not hesitate to ask if you have any enquries. 

Some photo session before we go through the customs and to the boarding gate.

View from the Skybridge and some view of the aerobridge.

Can't wait for my next trip in July. KLIA2 is too big and I need more time to explore haha.

Safe flights, everyone.

♥ Afternoon High Tea at Tokyo Pastry, Kota Damansara

Our first afternoon high tea at Tokyo Pastry. 

Address: No.2A-1, Jalan PJY 5/9, Dataran Sunway, Kota Damansara.

Doubtedlessly a classy European style cafe with calm and cosy ambiance, offering a wide varieties of pastries, cakes and desserts (all looks fabulous and tempting). To our surprise it is not a Japanese style cafe and bakery shop. Seats are quite limited though. 

Our afternoon high tea set for 2 pax on a 3 tier stand.

The top most tier came with chococlate flavoured hokkaido chiffon cupcakes and a slice of sesame cake with macaron. Cupcake was not a fluffy one and the cream did not taste good. Sesame cake was too dry and not fresh. The macaron was too sweet to our liking. 

Melon buns, hokkaido cupcake (again) and swiss rolls on the middle tier. For your information, melon bun, also known as melonpan, is a type of sweet bun from Japan. It wasn't melon flavoured, slightly dry at the outer layer (like cookies crust) but soft and moist on the inside with cream as a filling. We like these melon buns and they weren't too sweet. Swiss roll was just an oridnary swiss roll, nothing too great.

The lowest tier consisted of deep fried chicken wings and sandwiches. Nothing too great. 

Tea was good (at least it was Dilmah tea). 

Overall, it wasn't a good afternoon high tea experience as the foods weren't as good as we expected and we had to wait for more than an hour to be given a seat. Sigh.

♥ Art Is Rubbish/ Rubbish Is Art, by Ernest Zacharevic at Georgetown, Penang.

Ernest Zacharevic, a young Lithuanian artist, is well-known for his uniquely beautiful street arts/ murals in historical Georgetown. To view his street arts, you can visit our previous blog post at  ♥ Georgetown, Penang Street Art/ Mural Painting (by Ernest Zacharevic). 

Feeling blessed that we managed to pay a visit to his first ever solo show called "Art is Rubbish/ Rubbish is Art". 

This show (free admissions) was held at the Old Hin Company Bus Depot from 18 January to 14 February 2014.

And we were really excited that we finally get to see Ernest Zach in person . So lucky.

Ernest solo show is now closed down. Then, comes the second exhibition called "Think About It". It's a group show, exhibiting works from local talents Bibichun, Kangblabla, Renny Cheng, Tan Kai Sheuan and Low Chee Peng, UK artist Thomas Powell, and introducing to Malaysia for the first time, UK artist/filmmaker Gabriel Marques (opens March 7). Can't wait to drop by.

To all the street art lovers who miss "Art Is Rubbish/ Rubbish Is Art" by Ernest Zacharevic, let's catch a glimpse of his artworks and deem yourself what is art and what is rubbish

This particular oil on board artwork named "Michael Jackson". 

One of the special artworks made by thumb tacks.

Simply like this corner at Hin Company Bus Depot. 

The washrooms. 

More artworks. 

The Lego lady's left hand was broken and the handbag gone. Same goes to the knife holding by the Lego robber. 

Ernest and his friend putting effort to fix them.

More good pieces of artworks. The murals. 

One of my favorite Ernest's artwork. 

There is the other similar one near 32 At The Mansion. Go and hunt for it.

 Last but not least, Ernest Zacharevic's signature. 

We really enjoyed this awesome exhibit. We like each single piece of his artworks. ♥ Thumbs up.
