Monkey's been busy unpacking these couple of days

and realised we have enuff stuffs to open an ALESSI shop

hehehehehehehehe

we even managed to accumulate collections that are not available in ASIA

thanks to Saint Veeny who's been constantly feeding us with products fr Alessi

ok so back to the unpacking part....

I'm not gonna upload all the pics here but we have Alessi stuffs ranging fr 

earbud holder *errr yesss*

and more fruit basket fr Alessi

butter holder

pepper grinder

tea plunger

gas stove starter

pasta storage

heat coaster

ok let's just stop....

there's too many I can't remember

sigh....

but u soooo gotta respect us when we bought 2 sets of cutlery fr Italy
designed by British designer Jasper Morrison who has worked for Flos, Vitra, Cappellini, Sony just to name a few


yeah we carried it home to Malaysia all the way fr Italy
:P
coz it's so darn cheap there...
we could have even bought that bread TOASTER!!!!
it was so pretty but then....tsk tsk can't fit into our 6 luggages then :P
*it's either Alessi or Bottega Veneta/Prada/D&G to fit into the luggage...so which would u choose????*


and to maintain he cutlery fr scratches, Monkey merchandised it neatly inside all the drawer
individually just like how I would have merchandised my timepieces :P
one by one, side by side.


I have yet to unpack out JS's precious steak knives collection fr Laguiole
gahhh that's another nightmare...
will blog his precious when I'm in the mood...

Kek Lok Si Temple, Penang

do u think it's RUDE to snap pic of ppl deep in prayers?
:P
We need to learn to snap pic of ppl quick and fast
can achieve this by using zoom lense so we won't disturb their privacy

Monkey has yet to learn to do portrait :P
any volunteers out there?

anyway the above was the statue of God of Mercy aka Kuan Yin
with a newly constructed shelter over her head
do u know that Kuan Yin is actually a man?

we won't be here if it's not for Dinos the Great

"I haven't been here for ages....the last time was errrr when I was 11 :P"
Dinos the Great: "Yes now say thank you to me.....say.....it"

"Why????"
Dinos the Great: "Because of me, u get to come here."
-_-"

since all of us were so lazy *well except JS*
we drove all the way up....right to the door step
