    Live: Sitting at Inti’s 4th Floor Study Boxes

    Hello people. I am sleepy but no choice to wait for the World Cup Semi Final match at 2.30am which is the match of Spain vs Germany. This will be a very exciting match as both are strong and the psychic octopus went to Spain this time. To know whether the octopus is really that powerful or not, we have to watch this match. If Germany wins, kill the octopus, if Spain wins, then the octopus own!

    I support Spain by the way because I dislike Germany. Sorry Germany fans. =D

    Right now, I am sitting at Inti’s College 4th floor study boxes at the hostel area with my college friends waiting for the match. They are studying and I am onlining, waiting the time to pass.

  • Batu Ferringhi Night Market and Hard Rock Hotel with Chien Chern

    Batu Ferringhi Night Market and Hard Rock Hotel with Chien Chern

    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.

  • Region 1 Leo Club Farewell

    Region 1 Leo Club Farewell

    Last last Saturday afternoon, I went to the beach to check out the Region 1 Leo Club Farewell thingy. You know, I was once a very active Leo Club member in Chung Ling High School, was a assistant treasurer and a vice president and also the web editor. But now, I am on a Leo Club hiatus mode, still looking back for the feel. One thing is that, I am still a Leo Club member for Leo Club of Penang (City). =D Pretty hard to explain what’s Leo Club, it’s get-together, have fun, and do good things.

    Back to last last Saturday afternoon, I was bored at home and the Leo Club had a farewell gathering at the beach, I have nothing to do so went to check it out.

    Saw them having fun with games like making sand castles and more. I was there just to pass time, see see, talk talk with some Leo friends, take photo and enjoy the breeze.

    I was so not into their games at that time, no why. Hehe.

    Then met Foyi’s friend, Jocelyn, Cindy, Min Xiang and Wallace. We went to dinner at Sri Ananda together then.

    Fun thing about Sri Ananda is that there a people nicely dressed who greet you when you go in at the back entrance of the restaurant. We took photo with him. =D

    Want join Leo Club? Join Penang (City). =D I am managing the website now.

  • Batu Ferringhi With Chien Chern and Cheong Kin

    Batu Ferringhi With Chien Chern and Cheong Kin

    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.

  • Back To Chung Ling High School on 020710

    Back To Chung Ling High School on 020710

    I went back to my high school last Friday for lunch. Some people thought that it’s kinda weird going back to high school to have meal at there. Tell you what, I miss my high school’s canteen food a lot and ex-Chung Ling students often go back to the canteen for meal too. Same as my dad who have graduated for over 30 years and he still sometimes go back for lunch.

    One is because it’s cheap, two is parking and three is delicious. When I was in high school, the delicious feeling couldn’t be tasted because we were like eating the same thing every day but when we get out, it’s like we couldn’t eat the same thing everyday again and sometimes, crave for it.

    Went there with Chien Chern. After lunch, we walked around the school. This might not be my last time going back to school, but it might be my last time walking around the school. 2 weeks plus and I will be leaving Penang. I course will come back to look for my high school’s canteen food, but don’t know when will be the next time. I will be far away!

    Saw many friends but hard to join in because they are mixing with a new gang right now, new class and new year for them. I am still waiting for college.

    2009, by me. =D


    2010, by don’t know who.

    Then I found my Leo Club’s notice board, it’s so much different from what I did for the board right now. I did contribute to the notice board when I was in the club last year. =D

    Looking at them working out in school, I kinda miss the days back, but I know nothing can turn the clock backwards. I have to move on already. If you are still in high school, do enjoy it to the max, it’s the best part of life. Always have no worries one. I regret why I only enjoyed the last two years and the other 3 years, maybe I was still too naive. Haha.

    Walking around the school was actually not because wanted to walk for fun, it’s too full after the lunch and was trying to digest the food, at the same time, checking out old stuff like classes I studied in.

    When I was in afternoon class that time, during form 1 and form 2, not many great memories though, was still like a kid. But one thing I know, I was a blogger since end of Form 1 and started experiment with photography in Form 2. =D

    Class changed a lot. It was a place I crazied, slept, shouted, screamed in and it’s now my place. If you ask me to be back student for a day, I can’t, because the feeling has gone and it’s a past. No more turning back. Everyone is gone! Look at the table arrangement, it’s all different already.


    5SA1.

    Form 4 and Form 5 were the best year in high school. I am not a bad kid but I have kena disciplined action before because of always bringing stuffs like camera and cellphone and going out of the class. Haha. Don’t think I am bad, I am just playful, I assumed. If I didn’t bring camera, you wouldn’t see so many school life post at here already.


    4SA5.

    Why the school here don’t allow cellphone and camera? I strongly disagree with these. I need to blog my life and share! It’s memories. Cellphone is for contacting and don’t talk about public pay phone, they sucks and it’s only usable after school. What if you want to contact your parents to fetch you when you found out the meeting has canceled or on the other way around? But nevermind, I brought it like almost every day last time, just I didn’t use in class, I am sure.

    High school rocks, especially Chung Ling High School.

  • 斗母宫 Raja Uda Tow Boo Kong / Nine Emperor Gods Temple

    斗母宫 Raja Uda Tow Boo Kong / Nine Emperor Gods Temple

    Last Tuesday was fun because I went to Butterworth for a little road trip and visits to holy places, the St. Anne’s Sanctuary and now the Raja Uda famous Tow Boo Kong or simply known as the Nine Emperor Gods Temple. If you are curious about my religion, I am not really sure what am I, I guess I am Taoist which believe in Buddhism too.


    Paddy field. =D

    From Bukit Mertajam to Raja Uda in Butterworth is not near! I always thought they are close to each other but not already after this trip. Google Maps was our guide and it sucks because it brought us into Kampung and using those little road instead of the high way.


    Very kampung.

    Which eventually made us a little bit scared because for 20-30 minutes along the road, we saw paddy field, old houses, Malay village and it’s very rural. Scared there we were lost and in the end decided to look for sign and turn into highway and forget about the maps. We agak-agak know it’s somewhere on Raja Uda Rd, so we didn’t bother the maps in the end and went there on our own.

    After driving for like 45 minutes, turning in and out from the rural and unfamiliar roads, forgetting about the GPS, we have reach the Tow Boo Kong safely. So happy to see the gate and the temple. I am not a very superstitious person but I know a little bit of Nine Emporor God. I know there’s Nine Emperor God Festival which happens during September of Chinese calendar every year and it’s very happenings in Penang or place with Nine Emperor Gods Temple. It’s also season when devotees become vegetarian during the festival.

    Penang is famous for this event at Carnavon Street and here at Raja Uda. It’s a little bit like Indian’s Thaipusam with poking on human flesh. Woo.

    The temple was long and has a super pretty gate on the outside. The whole compound is huge but the temple is not super huge as I thought. It’s not like the St Anne or Kek Lok Si in Penang so big. But the place is nice.

    They have good design, good engraving, modernish mixed with Chinese temple feel.

    Although I am not a superstitious person, but since visited to the temple, might as well do some prayers for myself and family. =)

    Guess what, it was late afternoon, sunset time and it was only us praying in the temple. =D It’s super quiet! One interesting about the temple is that when doing prayers, putting the joss stick, there’s actually numbering sequence for which pot and which god and goddess to pray first, so there’s like 1, 2, 3 so you wouldn’t be confuse which to start first and which to end. Damn cool for people like me who don’t really know the “protocol” of a temple. Hehe.

    Tow Boo Kong rocks.

  • Glee, My Latest Favourite Show

    I heard about Glee last time but I didn’t bother to check it out until my friend, Cheong Kin asked me to watch it. Since there’s not many TV series is on right now, I went to check out Glee on PPS.tv and guess what, it’s freaking awesome! Spent 3 days catching up all the episodes and I am now finished with season 1. Can’t wait for season 2, love the music a lot and makes me wanna sing more!
