Interactive Museum @ Georgetown, Penang

After two plus year studying in Penang, I finally visited the interactive museum with my coursemates with RM10 student ticket pass. The gallery is actually kind of small, make sure you choose the right time to visit or else you'll need to line up for photo shoot and of course people watching you posing while you snapping your photo. I don't like to pose and snap photo with people around me cause I don't think I'm beautiful in the first place and it's awkward for me to act, plus I'm shy *blush*. I'm a weirdo by the way, I love snapping photo of others as far as I know I don't look nice in photos but other part of me scream to get snap. *faint* you can ignore me

Anyway, I was kind of hyper that day, my friend sort of notice that. It's not about caffeine I'm pretty sure, as I visited the coffee shop only after this visit. I guess I just shocked them with another part of me, stay calm Jing :) So, here comes the photo.
Before you pay for your ticket, you can start snapping from the entrance :)
Tadaa, the counter! After paying for the ticket, you are good to enter :)
Finally a group photo of us
This man looks so real here
Will love to rent a bicycle and cycle around Penang one day. Bye for now, tata!

Toys Cafe @ Bishop Street, Georgetown

Accidentally bump into this cafe when we are finding a place for some chit chat corner in Georgetown. The moment you push open the door, the aroma of the coffee smell instantly triggers your nostril urging you to order yourself a cup of coffee. To be frank, I wasn't into coffee these days but I couldn't help myself from ordering a cup of coffee instead of just tea or yogurt drink. The owner said he had just change his order of coffee bean to Arabic bean, I have no idea about it but this definitely smell and taste good. Apart from that, it's an eye opener stepping into this cafe. The decoration of the cafe full of toys from doraemon to avengers, soft toy to toy models. If you are an animate lover or so, this is probably a place that you couldn't miss. It's like a free visit to the toy museum and you can snap as much picture as you want. The toy collection from this cafe reached more than hundred thousand dollars.
Tadaa, the owner working on our order from blending the coffee bean to drawing art on the plate. He is friendly, talk to him, he don't bite. You might get to choose the picture you want :)
  Here comes our coffee. Our order of latte and cappuccino which range from RM8.90 to RM9.90; Mango passion yogurt for RM12.90; and both tiramisu and apple crunch cake which cost RM10.90 per piece.
 
What my friend holding is the avenger collection of the owner storing in his store room. Talk to him, you get to know more about this cafe and the whole toy set of his.
We later headed upstairs for more WOW! It's actually a mini store up there selling toys stuff open by his friend. Along the staircase, there's a lot of drawing drawn by the owner. It's pretty cool to own a shop and decorate your shop yourself, placing what you like and sharing it to the customer. Doing what you like, putting your interest as your job.
To own a coffee shop is not easy; coffee machine is expensive itself and it's requires certain skill to operate it. 

Learning is a progress towards dream. You will find yourself one step closer to it :)
