The video above shows my lunch at J.L. Gourmet with amazing folded paper art on table tops and on the walls. These are lovingly made with patience to piece each folded paper bits into a character. I had fish florentine, consisting of dory fish covering braised spinash and sprinkled with cheese powder.
Yesterday was Easter Sunday, commemorating the resurrection power of Jesus that defeated the power of Satan or the evil one on planet earth. Because Jesus is risen, we humankind can now enjoy blessings, prosperity, health, eternity as His children and victory over whatever circumstances life throws as you. Thank you, Jesus, for your sacrificial death on the cross.

The video above was taken yesterday while being discharged from a hospital, costing RM 10k++ for 2 nights and 3 days stay. Luckily, my insurance covers most of the bills and I pay a little for the balance of about RM 1k+.
I had Cheras Yong Tau Fu in JUSTFOOD at Gurney Paragon, and then took another video at Methis Living Natural Wood just outside the food court. See the video below:
I love the various natural wood on display for sale and it is a big store in Gurney Paragon. There are furniture made entirely out of cut wood, wooden accessories, wooden mirrors and more.
Above are 3 owls, sent to me by a Whatsapp friend. We exchange pleasantries and Good morning greetings with daily scriptures every morning. It is a blessing to know that I am in someone's thoughts, an acquantance in KL.
Below is another Insta picture as food for thought to ponder.
This video is about the street food of Coco Island by Bali Thai along the Gurney Drive Road in Penang Island.

Since today is Palm Sunday, check out my various curated pictures on Palm Sunday on my Instagram account by clicking on the '>' icon on the right.
From Wikipedia, Palm Sunday is a Christian moveable feast that falls on the Sunday before Easter. The feast commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in each of the four canonical Gospels. Palm Sunday marks the first day of Holy Week, the last week of the Christian solemn season of Lent that precedes the arrival of Eastertide.
In most liturgical churches, Palm Sunday is celebrated by the blessing and distribution of palm branches (or the branches of other native trees), representing the palm branches which the crowd scattered in front of Christ as he rode into Jerusalem. The difficulty of procuring palms in unfavorable climates led to their substitution with branches of native trees, including box, olive, willow, and yew. The Sunday was often named after these substitute trees, as in Yew Sunday, or by the general term Branch Sunday.
Many churches of mainstream Christian denominations, including the Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Anglican, Moravian and Reformed traditions, distribute palm branches to their congregations during their Palm Sunday liturgies. Christians take these palms, which are often blessed by clergy, to their homes where they hang them alongside Christian art (especially crosses and crucifixes) or keep them in their Bibles or devotionals.
If you click on the '>' button on the right side, you will see our dear brother Kelvin's niche in the 3rd photo. Though I have never met up with him, despite him suggesting that we meet up on Atomy during MCO, he is like a big brother to me. He was a very successful banker, worked in Alliance bank for 20 years or so in the housing loan department, and had the power to approve bank loans to borrowers to buy houses. He would have been 53 years of age this March 2021, had he not suffered a massive cardiac arrest at home. Guess being single and missing his dearly departed mum since September last year, plus pay cut, it was just too much to handle in this path of life filled with stress, pandemic, etc.
Anyway, brother Kelvin was my only Atomy member who could purchase from the eCommerce website on his own, amongst my 30 sleeping Atomy members. Kelvin Chan is now happily holding hands with his mum in heaven looking down at us mortals.
The video above was done and compiled by yours truly. This video is on Sungai Penang Food Court Paradise in Penang. Various hawker stalls, fresh fish, fish soup rice vermicelli, etc. with funky and soothing music. 😎😍😁

This is a short video on Châteraisé which is a Patisserie from Japan, in Gurney Plaza Mall, Penang. Chateraise is a FAMOUS and POPULAR cake and pastry shop from Japan. For the uninitiated, Châteraisé, means a store that sells cakes, pastries, souffles, etc. It is also a franchaise system for those who are interested in doing the cake business, with all things set up including secret recipes for the taking. However, the franchisee needs to have large capital in order to start an expensive franchise. By the way, this is a NEW store that was just set up in Gurney Plaza, Penang.
Below is taken from my Instagram account of a St. Patrick's 3 leaves of a shamrock, "Good Morning" message. The three leaves of a shamrock are also said to stand for faith, hope and love. A fourth leaf is where we get the luck from.
The video below is on the meals at various places that I travelled to in Penang ranging from food courts to restaurants. Examples include steamed and chili crabs at Soon Lai Restaurant, cheese-baked fish fillet at Kim Gary, Strips of Ham wrapped with a fish fillet at James Foo Restaurant, Fish My Dream with poached spinach at Mitzy Bistro Restaurant, Drive along on Air Itam Road clip, etc.
The reason I posted these videos is NOT to Brag nor show how lucky I am! But to educate and entertain simultaneouly on where to eat good food in Penang. Just drop me an email if you are curious and interested at Diana(dot)Tan(at)gmail.com, and I shall happily disclose the locations of where to get such tempting delicious food; at least to my discerning taste. I am also one to patronize the same restaurant outlets and not try new establishments. The foods here look expensive, but actually, they are more affordable and cheaper compared to other restaurants that might serve expensive yet burnt foods, such as overbaked crabs and such.

As a student, I used to claim on the scripture above that: "I can do ALL things, (not some things, few things, one thing, but ALL things) through Christ who strengthens me."
Time and Destiny are both changeable; so do not have pride in good times and do not worry in bad times. Both will definitely change. Good Morning!
Finally to end this post, here is a cute black-fur puppy - that looks like Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson, the wrestler, turned into a billionaire movie star. Enjoy!
The above video is for employers like my business partner, whom registered for an enterprise, or sole proprietorship company. Due to lack of funds in this MCO, we paid late and were fined a total of RM 27. Let the video speaks for itself, and I shall not dwell on this further.
Below is a "Happy Sunday" message taken from my Instagram account, since today is Sabbath day, a time to rest from working 6 days. Enjoy the red foliage.
This is an interesting video of our lunch at Pizzaiola, an Italian Restaurant in Lot 10, Prangin Mall, Penang. After lunch, we were given 2 spin to win cards where you press a button to select the color you want the pointer to stop at the wheel of colors. Refer to the video below:
Here are the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

The video below shows the lifestyle of the vlogger in Penang. We were celebrating my sister's birthday earlier than usual, since she has plans for a staycation in a new apartment in Macalister Road with her friends, on the actual birthday. The food was delicious with thick seafood soup, amongst others. I shall not spoil the video and let you watch till the end of the clips.
Below is a very touching message that impressed upon my heart, a "Good Morning" message plus some nuggets of wisdom - "Live your Life and Do What Makes You Happy." This is so crucial in this pandemic, that we need to find things to do that really makes us happy, NOT depressed nor sad, from cold calling to a few of the toxic people! This world is full of negativity already, coupled with the pandemic situation. Hence, we don't need to explain to anyone; We don't need anyone's approval. Jesus loves us enough and that is sufficient for me!

Finally, stay safe at home, until you get your full innoculation plus booster jab, which is a passport to travel using the vaccination certificate. And it is compulsory to get Chinese vaccine like Sinovac, etc. to travel to China in the near future.
The above is a short video on Penang's famous 'Padang Brown Poh Piah' or salad spring roll with extra crab meat with surcharge. The roll with extra crab meat cost RM4.00 each, which is about USD1.33. It consists of julienned turnip stir-fried with carrots. This is topped with shallots, plenty of real crab meat, wrapped with a rice batter skin and smeared with a special secret sauce, with or without red pounded chili paste.
This is one of my weekly staples, amongst others.

Recently, I happened to have a lunch meal at Passions of Kerala Restaurant, in New World Park. This was tomato rice with 3 types of veggies, a mint sauce past and 3 types of curries consisting of dhal curry, chicken curry and another type of curry. See the short interesting video below to whet your appetite.
For drinks, I ordered mango 'lassi', which is a type of Indian yoghurt drink. I am thankful for being alive daily in this pandemic. Things could go wrong anytime and in Malaysia, I feel like being followed everywhere I go. I don't know why I am 'so' important but apparently the Times Square JMB or other authorities' fear of the information and experience that I went through, and expose their misappropriation of JMB funds! Well, if the top leadership can become a backdoor government and stealing of government coffers like 1MDB, Tabung Haji, FELDA, etc, then it is the norm that everyone seems to follow suit; except for a few grandpas or baby boomers who are fighting hard for their grandkids' uncertain future. Kindly, please stop this snooping and targeting around wherever I go!
