My Second Breakfast at Kalapawai Market

Kalapawai Market is a shop with character that is based on the theme of surfing. There are surfboards everywhere in the store. During my Sunrise Tour with the Oahu Photography Tours, we stopped by this place for breakfast. In fact I have already taken a light breakfast at the hotel before departing, so this became my second breakfast.

Coffee is one of the main produce in Hawaii, so a store with character should never be lack of it. I was spoilt for choice and I have forgotten which one I had.

Kalapawai Market serves light meals to their customers as well as the store is located midway of tourist attractions.

The small seating area is also full of character with surfboards as tables. Wooden barrels are also utilised as tables.

Since I wasn't that hungry, I ordered just a waffle with egg and cheese as my morning snacks, and of course there shouldn't be lacking in coffee.

Chinese New Year 2016

Today is already the fifth day of Chinese New Year (CNY) and the first four days just passed by in a blink of an eye. Prior to CNY this year, there was a promotion by LEGO where a set of The Year of the Monkey was given free-of-charge with a purchase of RM200 or more in a single receipt, so I obtained two of these limited edition sets.

It is also a tradition for banks and shopping centres to give away free angpao packets. Therefore, I have collected quite a few types of them.

Our open house tradition has been the same since the day I could recall CNY celebration. We always serve cakes and cookies to all the guests visiting us. Almost all the CNY goodies were prepared by my sister-in-law.

This year my photographer friends were also having house crawling as usual. We first visited Foosi's house.

Then we all moved over to my house. We took a group photo on the same settee two years ago. This year we were trying to emulate the group photo in year 2014 even though with a few missing group members.

We also had a pre-wedding photoshoot for two couples (although one couple has been officially married) at my house. It was really a fun session with all the drinks, food and jokes.
