24 Daily Habits

I found this article/poster 24 Daily Habits that Will Boost Your Intelligence by Larry Kim on Inc.com and absolutely loving it. Everything on it resonated. I’m not much of a newspaper reader though.

Coloring

2015 is the year my love for coloring is rekindled.

Hong Kong Bar, Penang

For the first time after five years of living in Penang, I finally step foot into Hong Kong Bar at Chulia Street. For this, I must thank a friend, Simon Penny, because without his and his friends' postings on social media, I wouldn't have noticed this super cool, old-fashioned (but in a very good way) bar.
