Quiet Seremban Town

Quiet Seremban Town – Two weeks ago, I drove all the way to Singapore with my family. It was lunch time and we passed by Seremban, wanting to go into the little town to look for lunch. It’s actually my second time visiting Seremban. We went there before few years ago but couldn’t find any good food and this time, we went there to have a try again.

I’ve heard that there has good Hakka Mee @ Tou Kee, I followed the GPS to the place. Unfortunately it’s not opened. We tried to look for other food around the town but still there’s nothing look interesting and most of the shops were closed, on a Friday afternoon. I wonder why the town is so quiet during a weekday?

Seremban is really very small and under-develop in my opinion. Anyone from there or know about there would like to introduce some nice good eating place? =D

Tropfest Penang 2012

Tropfest Penang 2012 – Went to Tropfest – The World’s Largest Short Film Festival which was also the last event of the month-long George Town Festival 2012. It’s my first time checking out a ‘film festival’ and also watching film at the outdoor, so close the nature. It was held at the Quarry Park of Penang’s Botanical Garden. Seating were on the nature grass floor.

It’s a good experience, together with few hundreds people watching the professional short film from around the world. I thought it’s a projector screen but instead it was a very huge LED screen.

Tropfest was actually originated from Australia, where filmmaker showcases shortfilm in a small gathering in a cafe named Tropicana Cafe, sooner it’d became a annual festival for short filmmaker around the world, becoming Tropfest of today. If you’ve missed it nevermind, you can check it out again next year at this month.

Singapore City Night View From Marina Bay Sands

Singapore City Night View From Marina Bay Sands & Louis Vuitton Island Maison – I was in Singapore two weeks ago and that time, I’ve my tripod and camera with me! Unfortunately, I’ve forgotten to bring my wide-angle lens. AIYA! Anyway, it’s still good that I can set on slow shutter speed and put it on tripod, and shoot a few cool Singapore night scene.

I’ve got to say that Singapore’s cityscape is really very awesome, comparable to Hong Kong, Shanghai and other big city already. Malaysia? Sorry, I don’t find a similar good one. The buildings in Malaysia are so spread out far away.

The nicest spot to see Singapore’s city is from Marina Bay Sands, the bay front area near the Louis Vuitton Island Maison. The view is just simply splendid. The photo would be perfect if I’ve bought along my wide angle, but nevermind, Singapore is like just an hour flight away.

The Louis Vuitton Island Maison is very very cool. The whole glass island structure specially dedicated to Louis Vuitton sports a retail showroom and museum gallery of Louis Vuitton products. Man! It’s just so awesome! Feeling jealous of Singapore already.

Chinese Opera At Kuan Yim Teng

Chinese Opera At Kuan Yim Teng (Goddess Of Mercy Temple) – Came back to Penang feels so good, it’s so much colourful and culture-ful when compare to the fast moving city of Kuala Lumpur. Just a few days ago, I was driving around the little city of George Town, passed by the Goddess Of Mercy Temple at Pitt Street and found that there’s a Chinese opera was going on.

Chinese opera often plays during some religious month of the Goddess. I am not sure about what was it about but I just find it interesting. I parked my car, went to do some prayers and snap a few photos of the Chinese opera set up right in front of the temple.

I wasn’t very sure about the dialogue, just understand like half-half. If there’s subtitle, it would be great. =D The opera team came all the way from Muar, Johor.

Searching For Sunset At Permatang Damar Laut

Searching For Sunset At Permatang Damar Laut – I went looking for a nice sunset at Permatang Damar Laut, Batu Maung there because I’ve seen before some nice sunset photos taken at there and some photographer friends told me that it’s a good location. Unfortunately, the sky was not blue enough and the worst was the sun was not setting at the location it supposed to be. Maybe because it’s Summer time that the sun slanted a bit? No idea. Anyway, it seems to be a good place and I will come back some other day when the sky is really clear.

Penang Bridge 2 In Progress

Penang Bridge 2 In Progress – Hello people, sorry for being away for so long, life is just so busy with school and my blog actually got hacked but some stupid people recently and now what you are seeing is a new theme for my blog. Well, guess where am I, I am back to my lovely hometown – Penang!

Gonna enjoy this short 3 weeks holiday to the max in this city, find all my friends, spend time with girlfriend, family and explore more new stuff in Penang!

Today, I was cruising along Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Highway to Batu Maung and spotted the Penang Second Bridge in progress, parked the car by the roadside and went to check it out. It looks very magnificent and is looking forward towards its completion.

It’s gonna be the longest bridge in South East Asia but sad that there’s one have to pay toll to cross that bridge. Since it’s long, you are gonna burn more fuel too. HAHA. How I wish there’s a undersea tunnel on the other end of the Penang island. One more thing, it’s expected to complete in November 2013, long way to go!
