Wow I cannot believe this week is already over. This is such a sad thing to say, but I wish this week was longer! I have to-do lists up to my ears with wedding planning, charity auction planning and post-holidays catch-up work for my regular day-job tasks. Did I mention I found my wedding dress??? … More Best Photos of 2013 (and I said yes to the dress!)
Five countries. 17 cities. 1 year. 2013 was definitely the year of travel. This was the year I took action and let go of my fear of failure and my fear around meeting other people’s expectations. I did what felt right at the time and I did it for me, not anybody else. From planning … More 2013: My Year in Review
Good news everybody. I go home Monday! Hooray! Peter left Penang yesterday so I have been alternating between periods of mad productivity and total and utter laziness. It is absurd. Although I am beyond excited to be home with my family (hello mom’s cooking!), I am cherishing these few days alone to keep my own … More A Dose of Culture at the George Town Festival
It has certainly been a while between posting hasn’t it? Last week I was exceptionally busy with work projects and editing photos with my brand new trial of Photoshop Elements. Ever since my computer crapped out, I have been slowly re-downloading programs and Photoshop definitely made the cut.

On Sunday we planned to visit the National Museum and Little India, neither of which we knew much about. To get to the museum we took the train all the way … More Kuala Lumpur: Swimming in the Waterfalls of Templar Park
After a wonderful morning exploring the Batu Caves, we went back to our hotel to regroup before the next item on our agenda: the Aquaria KLCC! Peter is a big fan of aquariums so we make sure go whenever we visit a big city. The last one we visited was the Shanghai Aquarium which was … More Kuala Lumpur: From Aquaria to a Reggae Bar in Chinatown
Yesterday we managed to stick with one of my 6 goals for the next 6 months! Instead of another lazy Saturday, we fueled up with some bacon (hello pork I missed you) and drove to Penang Hill. After getting lost several times, we eventually made it to the entrance of the Botanical Gardens and the jeep track. While … More Hiking Straight Up Penang Hill
This is the first post in a new Kirsten Captures series called “Just an Observation”. Every day I will attempt to post a photo and quick thought or observation from the day. This is a sincere effort to become more involved in my life here in Penang. But as you will see from today’s observation … More Just an Observation: Why is my front door stuck…again?
Lately I’ve been searching for inspiration. After living in Malaysia for almost 4 months, I have hit a wall in both my personal life and professional life. It is difficult to get my butt moving every day to work out, blog, and complete projects for my marketing job. When I first arrived in Penang this … More 6 Ways to Stay Inspired for the Next 6 Months
