DAISO is in PENANG

Welcome to Penang, DAISO...

I was in Queensbay Mall last Saturday.. As I was going towards Maybank to change money for CNY, my hubby patted me from the back and asked me to check out the shop on my left.. My jaw dropped.. It's DAISO!!!! He knows that I'm crazy about DAISO.. Although it is not as big as the one in The Curve but I think this branch is quite decent.. Bought many craft stuff such as lace and felt... But they do not have my buttons.... Maybe in future (I hope).

Hubby was quite relieved as there's a Daiso in Penang but I reminded him... "Well, there's no IKEA here so we still have to to KL" *giggles*

Korean Restaurant - DAORAE

Had a family dinner (mum's treat) on Friday as sister was home from Singapore (she works there).

My mum is Korean drama freak... How freak??? She watches the same serial - Full-House for the 4th time... All over again and not get bored of it... Every time I go her place, the Astro channel will be stuck at the Korean channel unless Jazzy hijacks the TV to watch her Bambi...

So my mum decided to treat us to Korean delight.. I suggested Doarae as I've been there with my bestie, Julie.. All of us enjoyed the food and the ambiance there. When I went there Julie, I thought it was expensive.. It was only 2 of us and the portion was huge and I think we over ordered the dishes.. Then I realized that it was much more worth it if you go in groups.. You'll have a variety of food and the price is reasonable.. Please don't OVER order the rice.. It's sticky rice. Many of us in fact all of us only manage to eat half of the small silver bowl except my hubby who don't believe in wasting it.. *giggles*

RATING: Food was delicious and loving the environment..

It's located at I-Avenue, Bukit Jambul and the other is at Tanjung Tokong.. I think they have branch in other states too...

I did not take many pic as my compact camera batt was flat..

Thaipusam (Updated)

Thaipusam (Tamil: தைப்பூசம், Taippūcam ^?) is a Hindu festival celebrated mostly by the Tamil community on the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai (January/February). It is celebrated not only in countries where the Tamil community constitutes a majority, but also in countries where Tamil communities are smaller, such as Singapore^[1] and Malaysia.^[2] The festival is also referred to as Thaipooyam or Thaippooyam (Malayalam: തൈപ്പൂയം, Taippūyaṁ ^?). The word Thaipusam is derived from the month name Thai and Pusam, which refers to a star that is at its highest point during the festival. The festival commemorates the occasion when Parvati gave Murugan a vel (spear) so he could vanquish the evil demon Soorapadman. There is a misconception among people that Thaipusam marks Murugan's birthday; however, it is believed that Vaikhasi Vishakam, which falls in the Vaikhasi month (May/June), is Murugan's birthday.^[3]

Kavadi Attam is a dance performed by the devotees during the ceremonial worship of Murugan, the Tamil God of War.^[4] It is often performed during the festival of Thaipusam and emphasizes debt bondage. The Kavadi itself is a physical burden through which the devotees implore for help from the God Murugan.^[5]

Generally, Hindus take a vow to offer a kavadi to idol for the purpose of tiding over or averting a great calamity. For instance, if the devotee's son is laid up with a fatal disease, he would pray to Shanmuga to grant the boy a lease of life in return for which the devotee would take a vow to dedicate a kavadi to Him.
