Cheng Tzuu Bong

I think iv never really showcase my photography here so here's one.

My hobby - self fulfillment - things I love to do for myself when I'm not in the gym. Iv started drawing at a very young age. My pencil and art book is my treasure. Although my parents was never really fond of me drawing (that's in the 80s) most of my drawings that was found was almost always in the dustbin when I'm back and iv always received criticism from dad it's useless skill and was encourage to just read books and study.

I never hated dad for discouraging me, instead, being the rebellious me got even more excited to prove to him il master this particular skill sets. I kept drawing, on school table, workbook, exercise books, any thing that can be drawn. Never stopped because it brings me peace to create.

I drew till I became a graphic designer, and picked up other creative skills and leaned into photography and videography. That's why even if what I'm doing now doesn't involve the skills that iv honed from drawing and photography, il still love doing it passionately because it brings me a peace of mind doing what's for me and only me to feel that sense of fulfillment in a chaotic world. And I don't care what opinion others have of it because - I pictured it - I create it - and if it fits my mold, it's a success

Found a very aesthetic cafe in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. There is even an indoor pool (not for swimming... I think) and it's connected to a budget hostel and a western restaurant. According to the staffs, it's under the same boss different management.

My own opinion, experience and taste bud:
Interior: 5⭐
Coffee:2.5⭐
Food:1.5⭐
Customer service: 2⭐

If you want beautiful content, it's perfect. But one thing I noticed most of the services in KL this trip, well, not as hospitable as before. We are no land of smiles but in the 90s, the gov launched a "smile" campaign with all the TV ads and catch jingle encouraging Malaysians to be kind, helpful and courteous. Hopefully, this will return

What's my goal of eating clean and working out, so I won't struggle doing the things I love. Quite simple. Having more strength than needed making daily activities simpler and easier. That's why those diet fads and trends never really enticed me, nor the viral peptides that's making wave these days. If health is what you seek, then I suggest you study what's necessary before you dive into the ditch blindly.

Got the jeans jacket in Taiwan with loose fitting, now it's body wrapping. Thankfully I got the flexible elastic type.

Only the 2nd time I fully packed the peak design travel backpack 45l with the large camera cube inside for travel. Fully loaded 10kgs and the strap is still comfortable. And it stick to the back like a baby monkey to it's mom. Well, there's a reason it doesn't slide on the luggage handle vertically, would have been nice too to have a thicker luggage handle strap.

Another beautifully captured photo by dear

I still have a hobby, and working to master the skills required for the hobby is satisfying. Character building the old school way is very underrated these days

Thanks Bae for helping me take these photos

Gym hopping over the weekend and end up whacking 80% legs for 2 days in a new gym cus they have really good leg machine. And I love leg workout more than upper body.

Throwback Fansipan. It was crazy wind and storm. Broke an umbrella and tore a button on the rain coat. Didn't expect it to be that windy. I was up at the highest peak mount Kinabalu and still it was calm breeze. So this was definitely an unforgettable experience. was hanging to her dear life on me at many part where a sudden gust of super wind just punch pass us.

Definitely an experience. And a little tip, buy the cable car ticket to return from the peak. We though we could get away by walking down but in the end, we bought the ticket as it was too dangerous till the other group tour guides strongly advice us not to hike downhill.
