Ep2: Up North: Toy Museum

Dear diary,

That long weekend in Penang,it was really quite nice! Rest, go out, chill, get lazy…. it’s just a nice feeling!

Since started working, I begun to appreciate weekends & holidays very much. Actually since uni time also. But it’s just a different feeling!

So we googled “Penang” and found out that Penang got this Toy Museum and decided to act like a tourist and pay it a visit.

A bit reluctant when we were told to pay RM10 to go in. But turns out, think it’s not too bad!

But somehow, can be improved! The toys collection is huge but not well maintained, some got a lot of dust on it.

I took a lot of photos….a lot a lot of photos….

The outside…

The inside…

There’re toys from the movies/cartoons…

Spiderman!

Corpse Bride!

Superman! So many different sizes…

Wall-E!

My favourite animation ….. Ratatouille!

I chose to analyze this film for my Film Studies back then. End up watching it so many times!

How nice those days, basically doing assignment/studying for this subject, my job is to watch movies.

The more the merrier! But not so fun when it comes to vintage films with grainy black & white visuals and sometimes no audio.

The Simpsons Family!!

Hahaha, so funny!

Me touching Shrek’s belly…

Nostalgic ones…

Elegant Barbies!

I remember last time I always like to comb/tie/cut their hair.

So all my barbies (& my sis’s barbies) have broken heads. Some have no hair.

I even spray some glittery powder on the clothes of one of my sis’s birthday present barbie the day she got it (all brand new).

Oh well, that time I felt that it was nice but she didn’t like it. Think she feel like punching me too.

Rugrats! Quite surprised they have it! I used to love this cartoon very much when I was a kid.

It’s a cartoon about some babies and their adventure. I can’t specifically remember the storyline. he he.

Doraemon….. I remember I once had a Christmas wish for Doraemon to come into my life.

It didn’t come true though. Maybe because Santa & Doraemon weren’t friends.

ok, lame~ i know.

X-Files ! I remember I love to watch the series when I was young because I love Agent Scully (Gillian Anderson) very much.

But everytime after I watched, I will feel very scared and always have nightmares. i was a confused little girl back then.

Alice in the Wonderland!

Just the other day, I saw a trailer that “Alice in the Wonderland” by Tim Burton will be on the big screens soon (next year)!

Can’t wait!

Garfield the lazy cat! At one point during my life, this’s my fav cartoon character!

I got Garfield birthday cake, garfield watch, garfield soft toy, garfield everything…

I can’t tell why I like it though, I never really read the comics back then. Yes, i was a confused little girl.

haha, this funny fella always makes me laugh! Cos he’s too lame.

Saw some EROTIC ones too!

Oh well, this one not really erotic…it’s the pretty girl from Final fantasy!!

Warning: Pictures below don’t represent what kind of person I am. ehem.

This one here is seriously 18 SX. They placed it in the top shelf where the kids probably couldn’t see.

I found some very violent/horror toys too…

Say hello to Chucky!

Oh, so sick!!!

EUuuuuu… How can these be called ‘toys’ ?! So horrifying!

I heard a kid dragging his younger brother excitedly and said: “Come see this, the heads all hanging on the candles!”

Kids nowadays…. not afraid at all!?!

Some that I cannot identify….but lovely ….

… cos it’s pink? hehe.

Cute rats….

Wow, damm long post with so many pictures! This’s not all of the toys yet.

If I can put them all up here, then they don’t have to open a museum and charge RM10 per head.

I spent around 1 hour plus in the museum…it brought back a lot of childhood memories to me.

Quite worthwhile!

If you grew up knowing this toys, you should go take a look, it would be quite nice!
