Away to PLKN (Day 43): Pai Ti Kong, Pray Sky God At Weld Quay

It’s the yearly Pai Ti Kong festival again, but this happened like in February. Long time ago already, sorry but nevermind, I am posting my photos up again. This is 3rd years going to Weld Quay to take photos. Every year also go there, won’t boring one meh? I feel not.

I think it’s fun with many people around, fireworks and friends, but I don’t like to take photo of the same thing again. Very boring and I feel stress as I’ve no idea what to shoot. I always try my best to shoot the best thing, the best shot to share with you guys and here are they.

So during the ninth day of Chinese New Year, I went there with Alvin, Kooi Jin, Min Xiang and Kok Sheng to shoot photos. Very fun because there’s friend. Last two years, there’s mama, papa and me only.

Photographers and DSLR users are getting more and more. So many people go there, arming with a DSLR, shoot here and shoot there. I didn’t want to join them again because I’ve went there before. I brought tripod for the first time so I tried slow shutter that day.

Pork rocks!

One thing, I am still not good at flash. I still prefer natural lighting.

Now Miku also got LED, very high tech already.

At first, there’s me only. Later then found Kooi Jin, Alvin, Min Xiang and Kok Sheng. Kooi Jin, my junior had became my assistant and helped me carrying my tripod because he wanted me to fetch him home. Haha, but thank you a lot.

This year was different a bit for me, because I went there on my own, I could stay longer and shoot anything I want, I even go further intor Chew Jetty where I did not last time. Interesting!

The wooden house on the water are so cool, there’s people staying at there and some houses were open for visit at that time. Pretty nice man.

It’s people mountain people sea, that’s a Chinese idiom saying people here and there, very happenings, very crowded. Want to move around also hard.

I waited for fireworks, then I waited for the arrival of beloved Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.

Kooi Jin on the left.

CM came to pray.

I went to close to CM Lim Guan Eng just to take photos of him. He is favourite of everyone. Everyone like him here in Penang. Yeah! Rocks. He came to give some speech, lou sang and go away already. This is what they call, give face.

After CM lou sang, the people there join in to lou for fun.

There this photographer from Oriental Daily. He complained me of having a big lens which block him from taking photograph. WTH.

CM Lim Guan Eng shake hand with everyone.

I love Ti Kong! But I am not Hokkien so I was not involve in the praying process. =)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHAN YIK HUNG, MY BROTHER!

Away to PLKN (Day 41): Lion Dance at Tiger CNY Miao Hui

I got a little bit crazy already and is bad at managing my content. Suddenly I jump out a post about the Miao Hui that happened during Chinese New Year in February, a long time ago. Do you mind or not? Mind also I have to post it up already, who call me to be in NS right now and I’ve no content to write. WTF.

Anyway, let’s cut the crap and going into something interesting. So this year’s Miao Hui was unlike last year, this year, I sat down with Alvin at the Lion Dance area to see the Lion Dance show from start to end. I didn’t know why last time didn’t go check it out.

It seems like very interesting because there’s so many people standing by to wait for the performance. Alvin is a fan of Lion Dance, me is not. We got a good spot in front of everyone, most photographers like us where there too!

Something wrong with the schedule that day. It’s 15 minutes behind schedule, only then it started.

They were great, they can jump up and down so steadily without any mistake. I wish I could too!

Some Chinese said touching the Lion head bring good luck and prosperity. After the dance, the Lion heads were placed on the ground and everyone went to touch it. Me too! Good luck for me. Haha.

Away to PLKN (Day 30): PCGHS Food Fair

On 14 March 2010, I went to Penang Chinese Girls’ High School to check out their food fair. It had been quite some time I didn’t visit school organized food fair. In 2006, my school organized a food fair, but I was not there because I went outstation, that’s sad because Chung Ling High School don’t always organise food fair.

When I was Form 4, I attended Convent Datuk Keramat Secondary School food fair, could be said as my first time going to a school’s food fair. Then this PCGHS Food Fair could be my second time already.

Food fair are always fun with game stalls but not the food. I actually go there to check up stalls by Leo Club of Penang Chinese Girls’ High School, to see what they did and support support them. I don’t really know a lot of friends from that school except the Leo Club.

Met Jane.

Blogger who rocks. Yng Shin.

Zhang Hao, Leo Club senior.

DSLR gang, Kelvin and Teik Hua.

Lousy food.

I went there at around 10am. It’s all traffic jam already at Jalan Gottlieb, the road outside PCGHS, all because of the food fair. Luckily I found a good parking spot. Went in alone and look for Leo Club’s booth. Later then Arron, Tee Jin, Chien Chern and Yiphing came and I went to join them

Chai Wei’s sister, Chai Ting.

Wan Pei!

Cai Qian working.

Yng Shin again.

The Leo Club was a game booth. Their game was fishing, each player pays RM2 for a game and do like the Japanese style of fishing with a piece of paper instead of net. You can take home the fish you got. So it’s like buying fish at there. Haha.

Very hot day and keep sweating all the way. I met many Chung Ling juniors, friends, bloggers and Plurkers. Many people, very crowded, very happening, and I like, just I really hate the weather.

Plurkers.

I was hungry and I ate my breakfast at there. Unfortunately, the food I ate sucks, it’s a Japanese Fried Rice. But gonna thank Arron for the sponsor of coupon so it was a free breakfast for that morning.

There’s many food, many things, many game stall. There’s also haunted house but we didn’t get a chance to go in because it’s closed when we were there. Sucks man. We thought that the Q would be shorter when we go in at the last minute, but they said the ghosts were tired already, so early closure. Oops.

Edmond, Hanna, Hui Mei and Liang Sun.

Pei Cin.

Lion Ong Lai was there too! My Regional District Chairperson for Leo Club and also Kok Sheng, vice president for Leo Cabinet.

Me, Tee Jin and Chien Chern.

That morning was pretty fun also, but very hot.

Away to PLKN (Day 9): Penang Tiger CNY Miao Hui Until At Night

Chinese New Year Penang Celebration Miao Hui 庙会 post is back again. This time I’ll show about what happened at night. I’ll let the photos speak more because I am in NS and I lazy to write more. So sorry people.

Some people stay there until 11am because there’s fireworks, I went home at around 1030pm already because I was too tired. I was there from 4pm till 10pm, it’s quite long for me, moreover I’ve been there before, so I didn’t want to stay until everything ended.

My aim was to visit every corner of the Miao Hui and finally we did, only that we did not see the fireworks. At night was prettier because there’s the lantern and light. Ideal for photoshooting.

Andy Ooi.

Taking photos with the God of Wealth. Haha.

Wearing Kooi Jin’s uniform.

Lou Sang!

Janice was part of GBBM too.

Then I went to look for Kooi Jin who was the helper for GBBM which organized part of the event near Han Chiang’s Temple. Their theme was 忠 (zhong), literally means honest.

Taking a break at mamak stall.

Then we went to eat dinner at a mamak stall, the same stall I ate the year before.

Squeezing the balloon to BOOMS.

There’s fashion show too! Best part.

There’s also band performance at the temple.

Walk around, shoot shoot, and played Chinese calligraphy and I admit my calligraphy skill sucks, since high school.

I wrote 天天快乐 which means happy everyday.

Chinese Opera.

Bubble tea rocks!

Met Jocelyn Yew. =D She’s helping at there too.

Went home! Really tired and interesting photoshoot. I was satisfied with what’ve got in my camera. Didn’t really meet a lot of people there but it’s still fun.

Went to Khoo Kongsi on Tiger CNY Miao Hui

Every year will go the same place during the Miao Hui a.k.a. Penang Chinese New Year Celebration and Open House. It’s the Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi, every year will go in take photos and come out again. This is the 3rd year already, I didn’t find it boring yet because there’s friend with me together.

This year’s Miao Hui, the entrance of Khoo Kongsi were decorated by ATEC Art School’s students. I could see a lot of handmand Chinese thing at there. Pretty interesting.

Nothing much though, went in a while and come out already.

Saw something special that’s eyes cleaning. I don’t know how it works, the person clean your eye lids I assume and he said that you will see more clearly after the cleaning. Real or not I don’t really know but it’s my first time knowing that there’s such thing. Cool.

Well at the back lane going out of Khoo Kongsi, it’s the same lane again. Photographers stood there and point their camera up again. I didn’t want to do that already, because I’ve did it before. Haha. Shooting up got so interesting meh?

Tiger Chinese New Year Celebration in Penang, Miao Hui 2010

This year is Tiger year for the Chinese, very cute because many Chinese will use Tiger as their mascot or buy Tiger bear for fun, or even drink more Tiger beer. So every year in Penang, my hometown, there’s Chinese New Year Celebration and Open House for everyone to visit, play, eat and drink in town area, which is known as Miao Hui 庙会.

Every year also has that many people come to this place, somewhere around Armenian Street and Pitt Street. They set up stages, lots of booth and everywhere at there are well-decorated with Chinese New Year feel.

This year would be my third visit already. I was there in 2008 and also in 2009. Actually every year go there also is take photos only, and go for fun to join the crowds, since there’s so many people. This year was different a bit because I shoot with a different lens, the Tamron f/2.8 17-50mm. Hehe. No idea whether I will be there or not next year. If I got a new lens or a new body, maybe I’ll go again.

Actually nothing much one, it’s the same every year. Cultural booths, game booths, food stalls, lion dance, fashion show and many Chinese-related thing. There’s youth doing treasure hunt and found me because I had a “Tiger” tooth that they were looking for. I guess joining the hunt is funner than photo shooting.

Cultural dancer.

Something not very comfortable was that this year’s weather went crazy. It’s very hot. Alvin, Andy and me were there at around 5pm, it’s almost sunset already, but still very hot. Luckily I had just t-shirt and shorts.

Andy Ooi.

Starbucks Coffee had a booth there too! Java Chips Frapuccino!

Compare to last year, I feel last year has got more people, there’s people like sardine cramming on the street, but this year didn’t have.

Met Cai Qian.

Met Chin Keong, Kelvin, Kok Sheng and more.

Met friends but not many. The Magnificent SIX was not there, they went to a movie and there’s only me from the SIX was there. But I saw a lot of Leo Club friends. ROAR.

What was Kok Sheng doing there?

I like happenings place. If there’s place in Penang that’s always so happenings then it will be nice and cool. I don’t like to see a dead city or dead town, it’s not fun. I know some people like to be alone, but do go out some times to take a look what’s happening and go back again. Me, myself is a weird person, I like quiet but I also like happenings, weird right. Haha.

Found Spongebob hanging somewhere. ^^

Happy faces for CNY!

There’s cultural dances on the stage but every year, I didn’t bother what happen on the stage. Feel bad for all the performance, I know their tiredness and effort in performing and I am talking cock. Haha, but anyway, if got chance, I will check the stage performance again.

Governor of Penang, Abdul Rahman bin Haji Abbas was there too! For like less than 15 minutes. He came here to “hi and bye”. So high post and high class people, at least must come and “hi and bye” for a while to give face.

Cool CM.

My favourite Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng stayed a little while longer than the Govenor for media interview. Hehe.

Boss! a.k.a. Lion Alan Thoo, my Leo Club’s District Chairperson. Rocks!

I like to call him Doctor Yew. I.T. support man for Digi.

My employer did actually ask me whether want to work on that day or not because Digi was a major sponsor for the event, but somehow, I decided to go for photoshooting rather than promoting. =)

Pinky.

Met colleagues a.k.a. friends that I’ve work before with.

Met Amanda the blogger.

Sometime I feel headache when I’ve taken so many photos, I don’t know want to put it up, obviously I have a bad mind in presenting it to you all. So I am splitting the post up. Stay tune for more about this Chinese New Year celebration evening, Miao Hui.

Chung Ling High School 2009 Graduation Ceremony

So on last time, I showed you guys many photos of me and my friends taken before the Graduation Ceremony which happened like 3 months ago in 2009. I was just too busy with my stuff and had forgotten to share it up with you guys.

In this post, I’m gonna talk about what happened in the hall during the Graduation Day of 2009 of Chung Ling High School. We got into the school hall at about 9am, it’s an hour before the official ceremony started while we had one hour free time, sitting down, talking and doing nothing. It’s pretty bored waiting for it to get started and also the arrival of VIPs.

It’s teachers and us who waited together for everything to get started. Before the day, many people told me that it will be bored and this and that. I also thought so.

There’s no show or any form of entertainment during the ceremony, it’s speeches by VIPs and principals all the time. Our Graduation Ceremony is a combination of Form 5s and Upper Sixth Form of my Chung Ling High School and Year 6 of Chung Ling (Private) High School. One thing was that we were suppose to have the ceremony a week before, but changed last minute because Chung Ling Butterworth High School had their ceremony on that day.

Not fun because I wanted this to come fast and go fast so I can stop schooling and get more time for SPM study. Anyhow, I don’t care now, it’s so so so much over.

There’s also recognition, awards and prize giving to student who has got an outstanding performance in various fields and subject and studies. It’s so nice to see they go up to the stage to receive the award, with the company of their parents. So proud. If I knew about this when I was Form 1, I would already had fight for it. Haha. I suck.

Wishes from teachers. Sweet!

Many speeches and a lot of cheer and shouts for the friends who went up the stage for recognition and awards receiving. It wasn’t that boring after all, interest to know about the school report and it’s “Wow, my school is so good one.”

After the official ceremony, VIPs got out of the hall, the Year 6 student of Chung Ling Private High School went back to their school and it left us again, the all-boys Form 5 and the mix of Sixth Forms student.

A little self-high show were held. There’s rock band, singing Linkin Park’s What I’ve Done.

There’s Ballet Dancing and there’s very fierce (kidding) Mr Lye, a school teacher went on stage to sing a song. Everyone was like “AHHHHHHH”, so high. Screaming here and there because he’s Mr Lye. It’s also my first time seeing boy do ballet dancing, and he was from my class! Shi Hun is his name. Wow, surprised.

He is Mr Lye, very good.

After that, off the hall, and finished! But before going home, I went to VIP’s toilet to take photo. XD There’s a toilet in school which is specially made for VIP, look cool, but no AC inside. After that, I still went to take many many photos with teachers and some friends, stay tune. I’ll stop here. =D
