Eating my way to Malaysia

Hi-dee-ho!

So, you know how I was super excited to go buy Harry Potter and smell old books at the second hand bookstore after work yesterday? They were all closed... :( All the stores (with Indian owners) had closed early for fasting because of Hari Raya. Aiya, I guess I'll wait.

On the other hand! I started reading the Hobbit hehe during my trip to Malaysia last Saturday. It was just a day trip on a eating+shopping tour with my Auntie's colleagues. I ate so. much. The whole day was literally traveling on the bus, stopping at farms/factories and tasting/buying heaps of food. 

Lunch was only durian and fruit. That shit cray. 

This is my grandma on the bus :)

Hay kiddies, its's been awhile! Sorry. 

Sadly, summer is quickly slipping through my fingers. Only 2 more weeks till i'm back in Chicago and starting my second year at SAIC! Seriously. Time flew by way to fast. 

Anyways, since the last post I have been a busy busy bee. 

I

1. Went to Penang, Malaysia with my family. Ate some pretty amazing food and took lots of awesome photos while melting in the heat and trying to look acceptable in them.

2 Started and finished my first internship at Industria Collective in Shanghai! I actually worked on their project called Peony Rice which makes eco-fwendly and super cute accessories. Im not gonna lie, hand stitching, beading and working with delicate fabric was really hard but the outcome of the pieces was worth all the backache and pricked fingers. Thanks Pauline for the opportunity! :):) Check out the stuff at www.peonyrice.com :)

3. Went to Singapore and visited family! Sadly, I didn't take any interesting pictures or go on any artistic adventures but it was still fun.

Picture taime. I'll start with Penang :)
