It's difficult to find fault with Max Brenner if you love chocolates. I mean - how many people do you know that actually do NOT like chocolates?

As the "Chocolate by the Bald Man" slogan implies, Max Brenner is a cafe for everything chocolate lovers will enjoy. Chocolate drinks that come in your choice of chocolate (white, milk and dark) as well as a variety of other creative chocolaty thirst quenchers are what they offer and boy do they do it well.

With two locations in Melbourne city that are practically bursting at its seams (literally) during the evenings and on weekends, it seems that Melbourne is very much in love with this place. If you're wondering if there are more - there are two more stores in the suburban shopping centres, The Glen (Glen Waverley) and Highpoint (Maribyrnong).

If you're interested in finding out their exact addresses, hop over to their website's page on locations.

Finally got to see Julian and Alesia's baby girl - Ashley Kirsten Sim.

Met up with them over the weekend at One Utama - check out the pretty girl!

I am back! I am back in Penang, back online and back in the Blog-o-sphere.

Thanks to those that went to the airport to send me off, and thanks for those who called me/messaged me with well wishes.

I spent the most of last week in the Klang Valley, and just returned home over the weekend. I received my PC just on Monday as I had shipped it using the Australian based Jetta Excess Baggage and I'm back in business now.

Just a note to anyone planning to use this service in the future.

Jetta is only responsible for practically shipping your stuff from the Australian side! After that - they have basically washed their hands off you, and when your goods arrive in Malaysia, a forwarding agent is required to claim those items! This is another cost of roughly RM170-200!

Unfortunately there was a casualty in using this excess baggage, which I should have expected. Cookie's ceramic bowls practically shattered into a million pieces regardless of the clothes and newspaper surrounding it. :( Ah well, time for new bowls for the white boy.
