A niche in street art souvenirs
Khoo Yee Pin, 59 had been selling these Street Arts souvenirs a year ago at Armenian Street. His stall is opened every Thursday to Sunday, 8.30am to 6pm. His customers are were mainly tourists from as far as USA & England. There were many local customers too.
The artist who painted the murals at selected streets in Georgetown, Penang was Ernest Zacharevic, a young Lithuania-born artist. It is part of the project for the George Town Festival 2012. The project is funded by George Town Festival while the paint was sponsored by a paint company, Murobond.
Some of Ernest Zacharevic's 8 wall paintings are the Boy on a Bike, the Little Children on a Bicycle, Reaching up, the Awaiting Trishaw Peddler and Little boy with pet dinosaur.
Little Children on a Bicycle is a mural on the wall of a shophouse on Armenian Street, George Town. It shows a little girl taking her younger brother on a bicycle ride.

Kuala Lumpur is the capital city of Malaysia and is amongst the fastest growing cities in Southeast Asia. In this episode of our Malaysia video series, David explores the country’s bustling capital city to show you the best of what to see and eat in Kuala Lumpur.
Nowhere else in Kuala Lumpur can you see the mix of Chinese, Indian, and British architecture than in and around Merdeka Square. There are several important historic buildings located here. One such building is the KL City Gallery, which was an old printing press turned gallery space where visitors can learn about KL’s history. Across the street is the stunning Sultan Abdul Samad Building and the City Theatre.
After sightseeing around Merdeka Square, David heads into the Central Market to check out some of the handicrafts and shop for masks to add to his collection. The Central Market is a great place to purchase souvenirs and expertly crafted items. David picked up a couple of Indonesian-style Batik masks at the Native Gallery on the second floor.
Another KL landmark that David visits is the Thean Hou Temple, a massive Buddhist temple overlooking the Bricksfield neighborhood (AKA “Little India”). After prayer service, David heads into Little India to get a small “taste” of what Malay Indian culture is all about. He and Ana sample some Indian fare at a local restaurant and get some henna art done on their hands.
The National Monument is their next stop – a sculpture commemorating Malaysia’s struggle for freedom. The bronze sculpture depicts a group of soldiers holding the Malaysian national flag. If the sculpture looks familiar it’s because the same Austrian sculptor, Felix de Weldon, designed the Marine Corps War Memorial in Virgina, .
The Petronas Towers were once the tallest twin towers in the world! They continue to be Malaysia’s most iconic buildings. David heads up to the Sky Bridge to check out the amazing views and learn about the history of the towers. The observation deck is located on the 86th floor.
Now, where to eat in Kuala Lumpur:
First stop is Madras Lane in Chinatown to a restaurant specializing in chicken and rice and barbequed pork. Since the weather that day was hot, David couldn’t skip out on trying a refreshing ABC dessert (Ice Kacang AKA Air Batu Campur), which is basically shaved ice with red beans, sweet corn, jellies, and evaporated milk. It is the ULTIMATE refresher on a hot day.
At night, Jalan Alor Street in the Bukit Bintang district is a great place to eat. It is lively and there are so many types of dishes to try! Some standout dishes are the Hokkien pork noodles, chicken satay, and butter prawns. Ti
Next up is another food street called Jalan Sayur. You won’t find many tourists here – this food street is more of a local hangout. David tries a few dishes including fried pork fat with curry, prawn noodles, fried chicken, and a fish cake. As you may have noticed, there aren’t many common Malaysian dishes here, so serious foodies only!
Be sure to bring cash.
And those are David’s top recommendations of what to see and eat in Kuala Lumpur.
Have you been to KL, share your suggestions for what to see and eat!

Rise !! The emergent is the presage.
He will rise from the East pride
Bringing death, lay siege upon this land
No life sprouts in his dark path
When a day will equal a year.
Death and re-surrection will lure out
Disbelievers among us
There will be, civilisation
Mounted by, the deceiver
Preys on, -Power-Possession.
Testify the pain
Thousands of deceivers will march
40 days last longer than the ever norm
The torment will fucking end
The brigade of the final line
Shall be victorious as we've found our light
The last reign will disappear.
There will be, civilisation
Mounted by, the deceiver
Preys on, -Power-Possession.
Testify the war...!
THE EYE WILL PERISH IN LOD
THE EYE WILL PERISH IN LOD
First and last ten lines of The Citation of The Cave
That we shall take refuge from
Blatant act serves the last battle with honour
No guts, will be spilled in vain.
The vanishing, of the civilisation
That has been written long
Embrace Terrestrial Destruction
Let the judgement begin..

Cairo (Arabic: القاهرة al-Qāhira) is the capital of Egypt and the largest city in the Arab World.[1] Nicknamed The City of a Thousand Minarets for its preponderance of Islamic architecture, Cairo has long been a center of the region's political and cultural life. Even before Cairo was established in the tenth century, the land composing the present-day city was the site of national capitals whose remnants remain visible in parts of Old Cairo. Cairo is also associated with Ancient Egypt due to its proximity to the Great Sphinx and the pyramids in nearby Giza.
Egyptians today often refer to Cairo as Maṣr (Arabic: مصر), the Egyptian Arabic pronunciation of the Arabic name for Egypt itself, emphasizing the city's continued role in Egyptian influence. Cairo has the oldest and largest film and music industries in the Arab World, as well as the world's second-oldest institution of higher learning, al-Azhar University. Many international media, businesses, and organizations have regional headquarters in the city, and the Arab League has been based in Cairo for most of its existence.
With a population of 6.8 million[2] spread over 214 square kilometers (83 sq mi), Cairo is by far the largest city in Egypt. With an additional ten million inhabitants just outside the city, Cairo resides at the center of the largest metropolitan area in Africa and the eleventh-largest urban area in the world.[1] Cairo, like many large cities in developing countries, suffers from high levels of pollution and traffic, but its metro currently the only on the African continent also ranks among the fifteen busiest in the world,[3] with over 700 million passenger rides annually.
The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, known commonly as the Egyptian Museum, is home to the most extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities in the world. It has 136,000 items on display, with many more hundreds of thousands in its basement storerooms
Khan el-Khalili is an ancient shopping area, nothing less, but some of the shops have also their own little factories or workshops.
The suq (which is the Arabic name for bazaar, or market) dates back to 1382, when Emir Djaharks el-Khalili built a big caravanserai (or khan) right here. A caravanserai was a sort of hotel for traders, and usually the focal point for economic activity for any surrounding area. This caravanserai is still there, you just ask for the narrow street of Sikka Khan el-Khalili and Badestan.
The part of Cairo that contains Coptic Cairo and Fostat, which contains the Coptic Museum, Babylon Fortress, Hanging Church, the Greek Church of St. George, many other Coptic churches, the Ben Ezra Synagogue and Amr ibn al-'As Mosque.
The Cairo Tower is a free-standing concrete TV tower in Cairo. It stands in the Zamalek district on Gezira Island in the Nile River, in the city centre. At 187 meters, it is 43 meters higher than the Great Pyramid of Giza, which stands some 15 km to the southwest.
Over the ages, and as far back as four thousand years, Egypt stood as the land where civilizations have always met.[citation needed] The Pharaohs together with the Greeks and the Romans have left their imprints here. Muslims from the Arabian Peninsula, led by Amr ibn al-A'as, introduced Islam into Egypt. Khedive Mohammad Ali, with his Albanian family roots, put Egypt on the road to modernity. If anything, the cultural mix in this country is natural, given its heritage. Egypt can be likened to an open museum with monuments of the different historical periods on display everywhere.

Art for Seniors Project 2013 - A charity initiative by Ageing Asia
The 2nd edition of the Art for Seniors Project - A charity initiative by Ageing Asia saw over 100 volunteers and elderly living in and around the vicinity of the Henderson Senior's Home gathering for a day of art activities and to celebrate Christmas, which is around the corner.
A charity initiative by Ageing Asia, the Art for Seniors Project aims to use art programmes to engage elderly in our local nursing homes.
Launched at the 3rd Ageing Asia Investment Forum in 2012, Ageing Asia was inspired by Dutch ageing-in-place specialist, Professor Dr Hans Becker, Chairman, Humanitas Foundation, The Netherlands, and his outstanding use of art to create conversation pieces in elderly apartment complexes operated by his organisation all over Rotterdam. Professor Dr Becker shared that the idea is all about creating liveliness and entertainment in the homes. This sparked Ageing Asia to come up with an idea to use art to improve the quality of life in our local senior homes, and hence the Art for Seniors project was borne.
We hope to use art as an affordable way to engage and create happier environment for the elderly in Singapore, said Ms Janice Chia, Founder & Managing Director, Ageing Asia Pte Ltd.
Ageing Asia also hopes to attract greater support to grow this intergenerational bonding art project, and to encourage youths in Singapore to understand our elderly more.

Hand crafted and hand woven Banarasi sarees from master weavers in Varanasi
Banarasi saris are saris made in Varanasi, a city which is also called Benares. These saris are historically considered to be among the finest saris in India and are known for their gold and silver brocade or zari, fine silk and opulent embroidery, and being highly sought after. These saris are made of finely woven silk and are decorated with intricate design, and because of these engravings, these saris are relatively heavy. Their special characteristics are Mughal inspired designs such as intricate intertwining floral and foliate motifs, kalga and bel, a string of upright leaves called jhallar at the outer, edge of border is a characteristic of these sarees. Other distinctive features are Heavy gold work, Compact weaving, figures with small details, metallic visual effects, pallus, jal and mina work. These saris are an inevitable part of any Indian bride's trousseau.
Depending upon the intricacy of designs and patterns, a sari can take anywhere from 15 days to a one month and sometimes up to six months to complete. Banarasi saris are mostly worn by Indian women on important occasions such as when attending a wedding and are expected to be complemented by the woman's best jewelry. Today there are four main varieties of Banarasi sari, which includes pure silk (Katan), Organza (Kora) with Zari and silk; Georgette, and Shattir, and according to design process, they are divided into categories like, Jangla, Tanchoi, Vaskat, Cutwork, Tissue and Butidar.
Over the years, the Banarasi Silk handloom industry has been incurring huge losses because of the unfair competition from mechanised units producing the 'Baranasi silk sarees' at a much faster rate and at much cheaper cost, another source of competition has been sarees made of cheaper synthetic alternatives to silk. In 2009, after two years of wait, weaver associations in Uttar Pradesh, secured Geographical Indication (GI) rights for the 'Banaras Brocades and Sarees'. GI is an intellectual property right, which identifies a good as originating in a certain region where a given quality, reputation or other characteristic of the product is essentially attributable to its geographical origin.
Varanasi also commonly known as Benares or Benaras and Kashi, is a city situated on the banks of the River Ganges in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, 320 kilometres (199 mi) southeast of state capital Lucknow. It is regarded as a holy city by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the oldest in India.
