Day Out With Felix and Friends

Written by Nicholas Chan on July 28, 2010 – 1:35 am -

Here’s a day out with Felix, who is a 11 years old boy, and brother of Arron, my good friend. =D Few weeks back in Penang, I went to Queensbay Mall to meet up with Chen Yuen who came back from Kampar and many people. It’s had been a few months I didn’t see them already, many went to Kampar for studies. Soon I will be like that also because I am now in Kuala Lumpur!

So that day, afternoon I drove to Queensbay Mall. I went there to join them for movie, Despicable Me which is a very cute and funny cartoon and highly recommended if you haven’t watch. I didn’t think of going to the KTV and I was there early before the movie and some friends were in the KTV, so I went to visit them at Neway. My first time and last time of going to Neway Karaoke before I moved to Kuala Lumpur. Woo.

After movie, we just went walking around the mall as we have nothing much to do.

Yiphing and me.

With Boo Teik and Chien Chern, they are the “animals”.

Arron Lim’s brother, Felix.

Ammerlynn, Chen Yuen and me.

Sher Reen and me.

Boon Hooi, studying at UTAR, Kampar too!

I am wondering, how are you guys back there? Are you guys doing good? I am miss home badly. Sucks man.

Went To Watch Germany VS Spain Semi-Final

Written by Nicholas Chan on July 9, 2010 – 3:10 pm -

2 more match, the third and fourth placing and the final game then world cup will be own, by don’t know who. Wonder when the Octopus Paul will do the talking. The little 8 legged creature is my idol! After the semi-final, Germany and Spain which it predicted Spain will win, I really very impressed with its performance. Really 100% correct for all the matches it predicted who-will-win.

Germany is out and I am so happy. 2 days ago, I went out to watch the semi-final at midnight. First time going out and join so many people and watch together and it’s pretty fun. Though, the match started at 2.30am midnight here in Malaysia and felt sleepy some times. Mom didn’t want me to go out late so she asked me out early. I went to meet up my friends, and they brought me to Inti College at Bukit Jambul at around 12am.

It’s kinda crazy right, going to college at that time, for what? Study as they said but what I saw was, Facebooking, sleep, but one was really studying, working out on math.

Because of it’s still early, we spent time at the college 4th floor which is a study area that opens for 24 hours. I am not a student there, they are. There were Zheng Feng, Boo Teik and Chien Chern.

Boring and cold night and I didn’t know what to do too. Just online a little bit, talk a lot, and watched YouTube a little bit. The place was quiet. After thinking for where to watch, we wen to McDonald’s at Sungai Dua, near to university there.

It’s super freaking crowded when we reached there. Outside is totally full and it’s only 1.30am. An hour before the match started and it’s full already.

The whole McDonald’s was like so messy because people moved the tables around to get close to the only one HD TV. Best thing of McDonald’s is the broadcast is in HD and there’s free refill for Coca-Cola. Rocks, and also free WiFi too. Just suck is there’s not enough of power point for my laptop.

Boo Teik was really sleepy at Inti but after having a Double Spicy Chicken McDeluxe, he was energized again. LOL. Now McDonald’s have a lot of double stuff, double big mac, double double cheese burger. Woo, really rocks.

Zheng Feng was really hardworking, working on math all night long! Non-stop! OMG.

Some ang mo came in after half time and was like “Fuck Germany, Germany Busted and blablabla” Kinda annoying. I think 70percent of the people at McDonald’s were Germany fans and Spain rocks! Haha, I was with Spain. I was thinking of overnight at friend’s place but given that I was still awake and not sleepy, I decided to drive home and sleep on my comfy bed. Yeah.

Hennessy Artistry at QE2

Written by Nicholas Chan on July 9, 2010 – 12:15 pm -

Many many weeks ago, I was invited to Hennessy Artistry at QE2. Thanks to Yong Xiang who referred me to Hennessy’s PR people. I was pretty excited because going to an inviting-based event and first time stomping into the clubbing scene. I am not a clubber, but I do go to club, just for fun and look around. Haha.

I asked along Alvin, Jin, Arron (via yiphing.net), Boo Teik and Chien Chern to go there too. It seems pretty interesting because it’s my first time going to such event and QE2. Have been living in Penang for so many years but it’s my first time going to QE2. It’s more likely a pub/restaurant/club, facing the sea.

Cool stuff is that we need not to queue up long like others who register through the website for pass. We’re bloggers and there’s special lane for us.

Though, looking at the list, I did not see many Penang bloggers at there. Where’s all the Penang bloggers?

Upon registration, we get a paper band as passes to go in. Red color are for media/blogger which can access VIP and media area.

Regarding my bald head, I just came out from National Service not long ago. Haha. And I was already partying.

It’s pretty high tech now. There’s a TV showing tweets of people who tweeted about the event, I tried to get mine on but it’s loading slow. Do follow my Twitter. =)

The upper level is for media/blogger/VIP. Though, hardly find any familiar faces there. I know too little people.

Best thing of the night was not the music, or dancing as there’s not any dance floor at there, it’s the Hennessy that rocks, mixing with different mixer, apple, lime, coke or just plain water. Apple and lime were good. =D And one thing, it’s free flow!

Because of free flow, early early at night already can see people down on the floor already. I am not a heavy drinker, I can’t drink much too. Don’t laugh me. Haha.

Basically, people just enjoy drinking that night, and a little big of music and rapping by Joe Flizzow, Sona One and Ad Bangers.

It’s so freaking crowded and happenings in there. Want to move around also hard and one thing, it’s pretty warm that night as it’s open air, facing the sea. Sea breeze was not enough to breeze us up too. Sweating.

There’s also a food corner where the chef make food with Hennessy VSOP, though we didn’t get a chance to try it because the queue and waiting was damn long. We were so not patience.

Met some familiar faces at last, Povy, Jane and Sze Sze.

The free flow ended some time and we decided to leave that place as nothing much to do at there already. We were there just to see see and not get drunk. So we went somewhere else.

Well, it’s kinda rocks and like it. If any of you PR people do need blogger to attend your event, contact me. =D Hahaha.

Batu Ferringhi Night Market and Hard Rock Hotel with Chien Chern

Written by Nicholas Chan on July 7, 2010 – 11:26 am -

After going to the Region 1 Leo Club farewell thingy by the beach, I found out it’s still early and I have a feeling of going to Batu Ferringhi. I have no idea why I like Batu Ferringhi so much lately. Then I realised Chien Chern lived in Batu Ferringhi so I called him out for a walk.

Never knew that it’s so jam on a Saturday night, traffic was super duper slow, I guess it’s because of the Sixty9ine Mansion. So if you want to go there on a Saturday night, go at 9pm and slowly jam until 10pm when you will reach there.

I have not go to the night market at Batu Ferringhi for quite a long time although it’s like 15 minutes drive from my house only. Now all who go there are like tourists from the Middle East, even the worker who operate the stalls are not locals. Stuff selling there are always the expected fake LV, Gucci, Burberry and more which I didn’t even bother to take a look. Specs and DVDs are good buy at there IMO. Hehe.

Was thinking of going into Sixty9ine to take a look but it was so freaking full and crowded and have to wait. So we decided to go another place and that’s one of my favourite too, Hard Rock Hotel! Rocks.

There’s many of don’t know where from, Indonesian Malay I assumed and a Malay live band on the hotel lobby. Pretty cool.

One of the song they sang was Hijau, which reminded me about NS life. I guess those who have been to NS will know about this song.

LOL. Lame and vain.
