Batu Ferringhi With Chien Chern and Cheong Kin

Written by Nicholas Chan on July 6, 2010 – 1:57 am -

I don’t know why recently my ass is so naughty and couldn’t stick still to the chair. For some night, I felt like going out for some fresh air and not staying at home. And my recent favourite place is Batu Ferringhi, a beach like 15 minutes from my home.

Last time I usually will go to town or go to pasar malam at Jelutong but suddenly feel like going to Batu Ferringhi, thinking of getting out of the busy city to a tourist area, more peace, more fun. Haha.

It was a Wednesday night and I asked Cheong Kin who stays in Tanjung Bungah and Chien Chern who stays in Batu Ferringhi out for a little boys chit-chat night and meet-up before I leave Penang. We actually didn’t know where to go. No night market walking because I went there a week before with Chien Chern already. I wanted a place with cheap drinks, with peoples and a cool environmnet, but hardly find any at Batu Ferringhi, especially one with cheap drinks.

People have been talking about the Sixty9ine Mansion, a pub/bistro with swimming pool and lots of sofa, and also DJ for music. It’s a nightlife place, not really a club but it’s a cool hang out place for youngster. I’ve never been there before, curious and we decided to went in to check it out.

It’s pretty but there’s not many people maybe it’s still early. Walked around but didn’t want to look for a seat because we knew it’s expensive, mostly liquor in the menu. No chicks, we only boys, where fun? Haha.

Took some photos and now at least I can tell people I went in before, for photos. LOL. Anyway, if there’s chance, I wanna go there again, for drinks of course.

Right after we left, people like starting to flow in. I thought it’s ladies night and there would be many people but not. Maybe because it’s weekdays and people lazy to go until Batu Ferringhi which is pretty far. If you go there on a Saturday, it’s freaking full and the whole Batu Ferringhi is so jam because of this Sixty9ine.

In the end, we went to Sunset Bistro for drinks, and man’s talk. There’s people curious of what’s man’s talk. Simple, man’s topic – girls, what else? Gaming? Haha. This visit can say it’s my second time going there, the first time was very long time ago already. But have to say, this place is cool! Like it.

Chien Chern.

Charging my gadget.

Cheong Kin.

Although it’s still not the cheapest place we’ve found, but it’s OK already because there’s no more cheap place in Batu Ferringhi. It’s a tourist area and we can expect nothing. Any idea or recommendation of chit-chat place with cheap drinks? Haha.

Short Tour of Penang National Park with NS Friends

Written by Nicholas Chan on June 24, 2010 – 12:23 am -

2 weeks ago, on a Sunday, it’s also the third day of a Penang trip with friends from NS (PLKN), some went home and some were still in Penang and so I brought them to National Park to take a short walk and lookaround.

Do you know that Penang has a National Park and it’s the smallest in Malaysia? Many people still don’t now. =D It’s at Teluk Bahang following the trail in National Park will lead you to Pantai Kerachut, Muka Head and Monkey Beach, the 3 main attractions there.

We registered ourselves at the counter and started walking into the park. We just walked a little bit to the beach only because we were not prepared for hiking trail, it’s just show them there’s a national park in Penang. ^.^

Chuan.

Weng.

Khang.

Tzou Xiong.

There’s Sumay and me from Penang island, Khang, Chuan and Weng from Penang mainland, Tzou Xiong from Perak and Tracy and Will from Pangkor Island . =D

It’s low tide so we could go down the beach at there. The beach was not pretty because there’s no ivory soft golden sand. It’s hard.

It’s pretty warm at that time, close to sunset, but it’s still fun.

Sumay and Tracy.

Before I go to KL to study, I want to go Monkey Beach once. This place is fun!

604 Outing With The Girls

Written by Nicholas Chan on June 23, 2010 – 11:52 pm -

Wan Theng and Shan Shan.

4 of June, Wantheng asked me out for a movie, the movie was Nightmare On Elmstreet and it was pretty old movie by then because it’s already started screening in the cinema for like few weeks ago. Since it had been quite a long time didn’t meet her already and I was so free, so went out together to the cinema. There’s Wan Theng, Shan Shan, Jia Ying, Chai Wei, Priscilla and her friend Man Yin, 4 out of 6 were tuition friends, and the other two were friend’s friend.

Movie was at Prangin Mall’s Cathay Cineplex. Still remember last time during high school, I always go there to watch movie after school, or go there to watch above 18 movie because there’s no check. It was last time and now, Cathay Cineplex is like a last resort to me, because I still prefer GSC afterall.

Priscilla.

After that was meal at Shua Shua Le, also a restaurant that I would normally go after school last time. Now seldom go because I seldom or not take the public bus already. Because last time come back from school by public bus, the bus will stop at Prangin Mall, then I have to make an interchange to other bus to go home. So while making the change, will go to the mall to eat and movie first before going home. Pretty fun. High school rocks.

Wan Theng, Chai Wei, Shan Shan, Jia Ying.

Shan Shan said, “Happy 604!”.

Red Box Lunch With A Little Bit Of 4SA5/08 Buddies

Written by Nicholas Chan on June 19, 2010 – 3:25 am -

Still remember last time, when I was in class 4SA5, 2008, we would go to Red Box karaoke together almost once a month after school on Friday. Going to karaoke or the shopping mall was like already became a routine for us as things to do after finishing our exam or test.

We went in a big group like 10-15 peoples, and slowly, now, there’s only 6 of us in the karaoke room few days ago. After graduation, everyone busy with their stuff already. I miss 4SA5, seriously.

Arron was the one who called us out that day. 6 turned up was actually not bad already, there’s me, Chien Chern, Arron himself, Zheng Feng, Cheong Kin and Zez Chien. Arron is going off soon, going to Sepang to study and so leaving us here, and this would be our KTV farewell together. I don’t like the feeling of farewell and say bye bye, it’s not a happy thing. I don’t want, but soon it would be my turn to leave Penang also. =(

There’s lunch for us too, but it’s more likely a breakfast to me because I woke up, bath and straight away went there already, I didn’t eat my breakfast at home. The first person to arrive was Arron and next was me, so I wasn’t very late too which I thought I was late because we were supposed to meet at 11, but I was there at around quarter pass eleven already. Hehe.

Not a good singing day for me because after coming back from the recent Penang trip with National Service friends, I fell sick a little bit, I had a little bit of coughing and runny nose, caught a cold, but it’s getting better now, thanks to drinking lots and lots and lots of water.

Though, I did sing also, but not many, and not super high. Breakfast and see them happy would be my main reason of being there. I love outing together, really miss the day back in Form 4, really crazy.

The karaoke and breakfast session was not very expensive, it’s only RM11.50 per person which include the food and drinks. ^.^ We finished at 2pm.

The last part of us was seeing friendship related songs together. Awhhh, we must keep in touch, and appreciate your friends now!

Me, Zheng Feng, Chien Chern, Cheong Kin, Arron, Zez Chen.

After Red Box, we went for lunch then to cinema watch The Killers, kinda funny, lame, pointless, but enjoyed it! =)

Away to PLKN (Day 69): SPM 09 Celebration At Red KTV and Bistro

Written by Nicholas Chan on June 4, 2010 – 1:17 am -

Really want to thank Ker Ying for introducing this place to me and I like it. It’s RED KTV and Bistro at Belissa Row. You sing, you drink and you play. It’s fun. Although you don’t get a room for yourself like at Red Box, but it’s still fun because you get to hear other people sing. Only sometimes, when there’s many people at RED, you will have to wait a little while longer only get to sing.

That night, after school, after Gurney Plaza, we went to RED to sing and drink, as a celebration for getting SPM result. My result was NOT-BAD only, so it’s not good yet but still I wanted to celebrate for getting the result and no more waiting. You know, waiting for the result is saddening and uncomfortable.

3 months of waiting, played a lot and felt slacking and lazy so much. Shit that I’ve forgotten stuff that I had learned in high school before. Gonna stop all the slacking and go back to school soon, but it will be in end of July, still got very the long time.

Arron, Zhao Wei and Chen Yuen.

Jia Rong, Andy hiding, and Arron. Arron was so high that night.

There’s me, Arron, Chien Chern, Yiphing, Chen Yuen and Sher Reen. RED was not quiet that night, we also met other friends like Zhao Wei, Elaine, Angellyn, Andy, Alvin, Jia Rong, Wallace, Ying Ting and more! Real fun.
