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.

We also met a RED KTV fans, who asked us to join RED’s fans page in Facebook. Till now I still couldn’t find the page, anyone know?

Fun night we had at there. Just scream too much until no sound.

Red Box Karaoke Right After Last Paper of SPM 2009

Written by Nicholas Chan on January 4, 2010 – 11:12 pm -

Yes yes, it’s again, we went to Red Box karaoke after the last paper of SPM examination of 2009. That’s what I usually do after finishing a school examination. This is a very standard stuff and why Red Box? Because in Penang, there’s only Red Box karaoke and I just get to know that Neway Karaoke will be opening soon at Queensbay Mall soon.

Jing Min playing with the Red Box people.

Our Chinese paper finished at 12.45pm that day, I went home to bath and got ready, then to Red Box with everyone. We were not the first SPM finisher, because fifth former who didn’t take Chinese paper had finished their SPM earlier.

Yiphing Dot Net.

Chai Wei, Vivian, Shan and Sheue Yen.

We have got the biggest room in Red Box which can have up to 20-25 people in the room and we have only got like 13 people.

Lek Jian, Me, Theresa, Hui Mei, Liang Sun.

It’s not only us that went to Red Box, many people went there too on that day and I believe most of them are same like me, just finished their SPM, taking a break.

Priscilla.

It’s not too many people in the room, it’s too many people came to Red Box on that day, people came in and our, “hi and bye”, very hard to communicate and interact with everyone.

Lek Jian, Valen, Jia Wei, Yi Jun and me.

Most important are still did I sing or not? Yes I did and enjoyed the singing, a lot. The Penang’s Plurkers had a room there too, I went there to say hi, sang a few songs and went back to my place. Hard to be at multiplace. I wish I can divide my body. Haha.

Karaoke finished, I went home. Marked the end of SPM, the end of Form 5 life. That’s fast.

Christmas Eve Morning at Mall and Afternoon at Red Box

Written by Nicholas Chan on December 27, 2009 – 11:18 pm -

Let’s talk about Christmas’ Eve. This year’s Christmas Eve was a little bit tired for me because I woke up early in the morning and out until midnight. In Malaysia, or my place, Penang, Christmas’ Eve is more happenings than Christmas Day. People here like countdown and they have all their Christmas party on the Christmas’ Eve.

Yiphing and Arron.

I woke up early morning that day to join my friends for a dim sum breakfast in town. Later then went to Prangin Mall with Arron, Zhen Yuan, Zez and Yiphing to buy Christmas present.

Zhen Yuan, Arron.

Prangin Mall was pretty quiet in the morning, close to noon. I bought some books and DVD at there then just walk around with them. I didn’t want to go home and just sit in front of the computer.

Boon Hooi.

While walking around the mall, we met our very cool friend, Boon Hooi who is now working at SUB boutique. He’s getting so much cooler now with a coloured hair and working at a cool fashion shop. We teased him then we went home.

Acting cute.

Arron and Zez Chien came to my place to take a shower before going to the next place which was karaoke at Red Box. It seems like every year’s Christmas’ Eve, I was at Karaoke, last year was, the year before was too and this year.

Ming Li, Yiwen, Caster, Him Keat, Min Xiang, Zhang Ying.

Zez Chien.

Chien Ming.

Only that this time Red Box was with different gang.

Hari Raya’s holiday is now on

Written by Nicholas Chan on September 22, 2009 – 12:05 am -

I knew Raya was coming, I knew last Friday was a very last minute announced special public school holiday, I knew the Muslim friends were and are having fun, I knew this week is a school holiday for me, I knew it will be a traffic jam everywhere in Penang and highway, but I didn’t know about the exact date of the Hari Raya until I see everyone wishing “Happy Hari Raya” on Twitter and Plurk, I suck a bit, but now I know so I wish you all have a nice Hari Raya Aidilfitri. =)

So Raya was Sunday and Monday. The holiday started on Friday and I have been on holiday mood since then after a 9 days long trial exam. I need a break but I don’t know what am I doing, I don’t have a plan for this holiday and it’s so unorganized, it’s like there’s so many thing want to do but I don’t know where to start. That’s bad.

Arron.

The holiday mood started on last Thursday right after school. I didn’t go home right away to sleep or anything but instead went to the cinema to watch Gamer with Arron. The movie was pretty cool, you will like it and understand it if you do or did play game. I did play games last time but not now.

Simon, Arron, Edmond, Fangs.

Andy, Min Sheng.

I then went to karaoke at Red Box on Friday, it’s a usual routine for me and them since last year where we will (mostly) go to karaoke to sing our crazyness out after the exam, before the holiday week. It’s a standard thing for us. It’s kinda tiring singing there, I still hardly improve my singing.

Then I went for movie again and it’s the Singapore’s film, Where Got Ghost. I gave it a rating of 4.5/10 because I don’t think it’s good enough, felt like nothing’s new from Jack Neo.

Saturday was pretty quiet to me. Woke up in a dull, cloudy morning and the Sun was hiding somewhere, which made me felt so lazy to go places. I went to town for lunch with mom and I came home, staying indoor for whole afternoon.

I then spent time at home reorganized my stuff and clear all the papers and notes lying around since before trial exam. I don’t like the room to look like a mess, I like to have a clean and nice workstation. =) Took me few hours for this and hopefully this will be clean for at least a few weeks and then I will need to do it again. It’s true that I like cleaning out my workstation because I enjoy the clean look after that.

Sunday was the first day of Raya and I went to Queensbay Mall in the afternoon to wait for Alvin who lives nearby to come and fetch me to the Penang Hokkien’s mini gathering at Egate. It’s so crowded at Queensbay and interesting to see the Muslim in their nice Malay attire shopping around in the mall.

Nothing much for me to do there except walking around and looking at people. I saw the same spectacles shop name where I bought my specs, A-look and I took my specs for the specs washing service, it’s a free service and it’s a way to pass my time.

Alvin then came and fetch me to 3G Cafe at E-gate to meet up with the famous podcast, Penang Hokkien’s host and listeners. It had been 2 years since I last meet up with John Ong, the host and creator of the show. Will talk about it in another post.

IMG_0308 by you.

A fun fair near Queensbay Mall.

After being at E-gate for 2 hours, I and Alvin went back to Queensbay Mall again for dinner and to shop for some stuff. Later in the evening, I went to the airport to fetch my brother and that concludes my Sunday.

Monday, today is a day that I spent my time with my brother. It’s still a public holiday for everyone and it’s Gurney Plaza that I went. It’s just window shopping and watched a movie, G-Force in the cinema just now, the movie was cute and that’s what I wanted to say about it.

That’s all for now, Happy Hari Raya Aidilfitri and school holiday, pals. =)

Red Box Friday Before Mid Year Holiday

Written by Nicholas Chan on June 9, 2009 – 5:17 pm -

I think going to Red Box on the day before school holiday and on the last day of school exam has became one of our school culture. Just right after the mid year exam recently and also before the mid year school holiday, I and bunch of ex-4SA5 class of 2008 classmate went to Red Box karaoke. It’s again a school friends get-together and gathering.

Sharing with you guys is some photos taken in the Red Box karaoke room.

Me and Arron.

We sang from like 3pm till 6pm and there’s like 8 of us. The price for per person is RM9+, a student price for afternoon high-tea K. We got 2 glasses of beverage each.
