Movie Preview - Devil's Due

Synopsis

After a mysterious, lost night on their honeymoon, a newlywed couple finds themselves dealing with an earlier-than-planned pregnancy.

While recording everything for posterity, the husband begins to notice odd behavior in his wife that they initially write off to nerves.

As the months pass, it becomes evident that the dark changes to her body and mind have a much more sinister origin.

Be Warned!

In a series of posts on his official Twitter account, director Eli Roth wrote "Don't pre-judge Devil's Due because Rosemary's Baby is a 'holy grail' movie. It's so smart, creative, inventive, and fun. Very very scary. The guys at Radio Silence killed it. Devil's Due is a legit scary, smart, horror film. So many awesome scenes. I loved it."

A trip to Penang Hill

I decided to celebrate my Christmas in my hometown in Penang as a tourist. And one of my stops wasthe Penang Hill. I have not been up the Penang Hill since I was a kid or a young teen. That was how long it was.... 

My eldest daughter and I took the bus from Komtar '204' up to Penang Hill ...

 We passed by these busy stretch of street market..... at the Air Hitam market... oh gosh.. it was narrow and bustling with activities and freaky when there's buses and lorries passing by

 Bukit Bendera aka Flag Hill... or actually known as Penang Hill... heheh... I do not understand why it's called Bukit Bendera and not Bukit Pulau Pinang instead... hmmm

 This picture is from the top after the train left us. The new train is pretty cool, despite being packed , it is quite fast.. about 7 1/2 minutes from the foot of the hill to the top.

 The lovely view....

 David Brown's restaurant is pretty and serves nice dishes but we were kinda on a shoe string budget so it was not in our itinerary then....except for a pic... heheh

 We also got entertained with a snake show by these two pretty and very brave girls who played and showed their skills handling vipers, whip snakes, cobras and even a king cobra....

 After that we took a slow walk to see some lovely sights and bungalows ... pretty Victorian like

 An antique /olden type letterbox.... and your's truly...

A very famous kacang putih stall on Penang Hill. They can custom make for you your 'kacang putih' to your liking with curry etc....

The amazing power of Zorbmax

I stumbled upon Livesmart360 because of my dear pet sister. It is the ultra advance technology that really benefits me during the times when I was fatigued from juggling stress, work, marriage, kids and everything around me.

It gives me energy and the feeling like I'm well rested when I wake in the morning and with that said, my concentration is much better on my job nowadays. 

This is indeed a scientific breakthrough! Scientists have been trying to figure out for decades how we can be healthy. Needless to say, we cannot be healthy without healthy blood. Because of our lifestyle, our stress levels, of breathing in polluted air etc..etc.. most of us, 99% of us have sticky blood, blood that clots up causing many of us to fall sick and get health problems like arterial or venous thrombosis, heart attacks, stroke, etc.

Taking Zorbmax can dramatically increase the intake of protein, vitamins and minerals, antioxidants

, pro-biotic, enzymes, oxygen in our body. 

And because of these, you will feel the difference in your well being just like I did. I am sharing this with you, in the hopes that this might benefit you as it did me.

Guide to notable cafes around Penang...

George Town has many nostalgic shop houses, vintage shops and old streets that are so hard to come by in big cities these days. Among these old streets, boutique niche cafes are also springing out. While each cafe is special in their own ways, many of them has a rustic charm that attracted a good pool of cafe goers. These are some cafes kinda reviewed by a fellow blogger Miss Tam Chiak

CAFE 55

Out of the many cafes I visited in Penang, Cafe 55 is a big favourite. It is a part of Coffee Atelier which also houses the Gehrig Art Gallery, 47 & 49 Residence and Coffee Museum (which used to be Kim Guan Coffee Factory). The building is a beautifully-restored early 20th century shophouse and the name hopes to celebrate the memory of this artisanal trade from a bygone era.

A must try here is their 3D coffee art because Cafe 55 is the only cafe in Penang that does 3D coffee art. While many come in for their coffee, the cafe also serves excellent Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.

MOONTREE 47

Housed in a traditional Malaysian shophouse built in the 1920s, MoonTree 47 is a homestay + cafe in Muntri Street. The cafe is furnished simply with rustic decor. There are many recycled items in the cafe, with tables and chairs that are purposely mismatched. What catches the eyes is the whole row of old school clocks on the wall. They probably have one of the cafe with the nicest vintage decor but service according to some people are not that good

KWONG SANG HOUSE

A tailor shop transformed into a café, Kwong Sang House (廣生洋服) still keeps the originality in this shop. When you walked into the shop, you can fell like you are there to tailor make some dresses. There’s a range of vintage collection all over the shop. From a television, a fan, shelves of books to a chess set, a typewriter, a sewing machine, which depicts the rustic charm of Penang’s past.

The cafe serves a good variety of western dishes. Be sure to walk up to level 2 which is a mini library and a collection of vintage items.

CHINA HOUSE

China House is a traditional compound of 3 heritage buildings linked by an open air courtyard. Now converted into 14 existing spaces with shops, cafés, restaurants, galleries and theatre.

Dessert lovers will love their long table of home made desserts. Every piece looked utterly delectable, every piece inviting, begging to be savored. A piece of cake, a cup of coffee or a glass of red wine, what else could anyone ask for. China House serves one of the best tiramisu around, with unexpected potent hit of coffee liqueur, with layers of bittersweet alcohol, coffee and moist chocolate mousse.

BEHIND 50

Most of the cafes in George Town closes by 6pm. But Behind 50 is one of the very few cafes that opens after 6pm. If you’re wondering, Behind 50 is named as such because it is located behind a building called ‘50’. This quaint little place used to be a bicycle repair shop back in the days. Its old school decors and memorabilia has attracted quite a crowd. 

Love the nostalgic, rustic ambience, and generally reminiscent of old-school Penang. There are scribbles on the walls, and there is also a vintage gramophone! The menu came in these old stamp books which is quite a novel idea. There are also specials of the day on the blackboard made up of western poultry dishes. Behind 50 has adopted the ‘suspended coffee’ programme where donations given by the patrons go towards providing a hot beverage for the underprivileged and the homeless.

Behind 50
Address: 50 Lorong Love, George Town
Tel: +6012 493 9230
Opening hours: Mon to Wed 6pm – 1am; Fri to Sun 6pm – 1am
