Another trip to town and walk passed Little India

Written by Nicholas Chan on September 13, 2009 – 2:25 am -

Last Thursday, I went to town again to Jing Si’s to do some add math revision because I can ask about it because there’s some friend who are frequent visitor to the cafe.

RM1.40 for a trip to town and I am liking the bus more because of the on-bus free wifi service, I was surfing all the way to town on my iPod touch. So lucky to have the wifi-ed bus serves the route to and from my house, it would be great if they have it on all buses. It will be so high tech then. ^^

Bus was pretty crowded at that time but I was lucky to get a seat at the back row of the bus, no need to stand.

The bus does not turns into Beach Street and the last stop for it is Jetty, I wanted to alight at somewhere near Beach Street and Chulia Street is where I can get off. Was thinking some shortcut way and I cut through Little India to go to Jing Si’s but I still feel it’s far, somehow it’s cooler there because of the shade.

I have to say, town is pretty, especially Beach Street with all the British designed shop houses and building.

Forum on Wireless@Penang Project

Written by Nicholas Chan on November 6, 2008 – 11:14 pm -

While driving along the road, I saw banners hanging on the lamp post saying that there will be a forum held this weekend, Saturday, 8th November 2008 on the project Wireless@Penang.

Forum on Wireless@Penang Project

Date: 8th November 2008

Time: 2.00pm – 5.00pm

Venue: KOMTAR Dome

This is organized by the state government and MCDC to discuss on this project because there’s people concern about this project will affect the health of the locals.

Meanwhile, a new group calling itself the Penang Wireless Campaign Group, concerned about the possible health risks of state-wide wi-fi, has set up a blog. I’ll say this is a nonsense as I am opposing this group.

If it does really bring in a big health problem, London-ers, Paris-ian, New Yorkers, Japanese, Taiwanese, Singaporean are dead now now.

I will be attending this forum to see what they will be discussing. I am standing by on this project. Thumbs up for CM Lim Guan Eng.
