What do you think about the Lynas issue?
Cibai Vagina Warriors & Stop LYNAS – Are you feeling funny with the title of this post? I also feel very funny when I read it but Vagina Warriors is real. It’s actually a stage play by a performing arts society call Neigbourhood in Penang. I just went to see the 90 minutes drama at the Penang PAC (Performing Arts Centre of Penang) at Straits Quay just now and it’s awesome, funny and it’s a good show after all.
How I came across this was reading on the newspaper where the title Vagina Warriors caught my attention. Its description asked why a exit of life will turn into a vulgar word by the people – Cibai? It sounded interesting and since I’ve been wanting to go catch a show at Penang PAC, finally I’ve got a chance. Ticket was RM18/student when group purchase of 5 and normal tics at RM30, normal student ticket at RM23.
The Vagina Warriors is a show that talks about vagina, the genital of woman. It introduces and explains more about it which focus on topic like menstruation, the clitoris, facts about rape, giving birth and more. It’s like a documentary drama with jokes. Well, it’s something embarrass to talk about, but after watching the show, I understand more about it. One funny part is when the actress asked the spectators to shout “CIBAI”, super duper funny.
After all, it’s educational and it’s a good show. Nothing dirty about it.
The hall is so much smaller than KLPAC, but it’s cool!
One thing that we spotted at Penang PAC is that the Neighborhood Performance Group set up a little corner of “Says No To LYNAS”. Well, I also want to say no to LYNAS because it’s bad for human health in the east coast of Malaysia. A little bit information about LYNAS that it’s a factory that will be set up at Pahang, which this factory will dispose toxic and high radio activity waste substances that are harmful to human health. There will be an Anti-LYNAS rally (Himpunan Hijau 2.0) in Kuantan this Sunday, please support and together, anti-LYNAS.

Lim Guan Eng vs Chua Soi Lek Debate – Yesterday’s debate was the most anticipating debate of all time because it involved two very “big” people, MCA (Malaysia Chinese Association) President Chua Soi Lek and Penang’s Chief Minister & Secretary-General of Democratic Action Party Lim Guan Eng. Lim Guan Eng is currently my favourite person because he is the Chief Minister of my lovely Penang and he has did a good job administrating the state.
I went to Prangin Mall to join the crowds to see the live telecast of the debate. Despite it can also be watched at home, I went out to join the crowds and also my friend. It’s just like going out to mamak to watch football instead of staying at home.
The whole ground floor was filled with Lim Guan Eng’s supporter and they cheer when Lim Guan Eng speaks. It’s really unite and shows that the Penangite love Lim Guan Eng. They also boo-ed when the camera pan to Chua Soi Lek’s face. Very funny. Haha.
It was pretty fun seeing the debate, however it’s kinda disappointed and it’s not what I expected. Debate somehow turned into a forum-like. Chaos at there with so much MCA supporter in the hall. Lim Guan Eng did not do enough homework as far as I’ve seen, but he is still good. He dare to show off the good work that he and DAP and also PR has done, but MCA was only knowing how to talk bad on PR/DAP. Well, Lim Guan Eng also did not answer some of the questions that were threw at him.
The most interesting part of the debate was when an emotional woman shouting like crazy, condemning the Penang government, raising on pointless question that is why Penang Government still want to tow the car when it’s 1030pm even there’s no car on the road, sucking people’s money. The question is so stupid and obviously the car got towed away is because of breaking the law. Who the hell says that Penang’s road is quiet and no car at 10.30pm. She moreover claimed herself as a half-Penangite. What is a half-Penangite, I wondered? Her Facebook page shows that she was born in Selangor and live in Singapore. Dont’t be half Penangite, you will be hate. Haha.
Another funny one raised question in Malay, “”Kenapa selepas Pas memerintah itu Kelantan, penyu diharamkan di Terengganu?” WTH?!

Internet is really powerful, people and hater has already found who was the lady that was shouting emotionally, turned out she is Jessie Ooi, MCA’s representative for Selayang area. She had a Facebook page and everyone was spamming her wall and people even created various MEME trolled at her. As of now, 2am, her Facebook page is now shut down. What a noob. Facebook people now call her the Parking Aunty.
Well,as a Penangite, I support my chief minister, I see improvement and I see he is somehow better than the CM before. Looking forward for the next debate. Hopefully it will not be disappointed.
Watch the full debate after the break.
Update: Her official Facebook’s page is back online.

#1: Penang Turf Club House Show 2011 poster.
Penang Turf Club Horse Show 2011 – For all the 19 years being in Penang, I have never been into the Penang Turf Club once just until recently. The Penang Turf Club is a horse racing track and there’s a golf course in there too. It’s similar to some other Equestrian Club or Hong Kong’s Happy Valley Jockey Club.
Last weekend, the Penang Turf Club opens it door the public with free parking and free entrance for the Horse Show 2011. It’s a carnival where people can see horse, take a ride on the pony, ride on the horse carriage, food stalls, games and more.
#2: Signage that guide you around the horse show.
I went to check it out for a while to see what is it all about and mainly to visit the Penang Turf Club. Actually, you can visit the Penang Turf Club at anytime when there’s horse racing, but then you have to pay for RM6 parking and another RM6 for entry to see the horse racing. I would like to see a real horse racing too, but I wouldn’t gamble. =)
#3: Quite a number of performance that can be enjoy and view at there.
There’s quite a number of activities you can do at the horse show, there’s game stall, performance, horse riding and more. I went in to tour a round and check out some cute horses.
#4: Yo, waddduppp horsee.
#5: Looking noob and sleepy.
#6: Itz ME!
#7: Department of Wildlife and National Parks.
I see many parents bring their kids to visit the carnival. I think it’s a good place for a good family outing since going to shopping malls will get boring some times.
#8: WTH! Snakes!! Snakes show at Penang Turf Club.
#9: Snake is so ugly, do you like?
#10: Food stalls, not so interesting.
#11: Some games for the kids
#12: Nice gate.
#13: Little boy sitting on a fake horse.
Taking photos at there were kinda fun too as there’s many1:1 horse statue for you to ride and take photos.
#14: Clown without make up. Balloon boy!
#15.
#16: Indie band playing on the stage.
#17: Kids.
#18: Take photos on the horse. Knight!
#19: Cute poster of the Penang Turf Club Horse Show 2011.
#20: Only now I know Penang Turf Club is so nice!
#21: OMGGGGGG, so niceeeeeeeeee, so green.
#22: Flying phoenix, mechanical horse riding.
#23: Pony riding, for kids only.
#24: Entrance to Penang Turf Club horse racing viewing deck, a place for the adults.
#25: Carriage riding at RM4/ride. Not bad.
I think it’s a good carnival and hopefully there will be more similar one from Penang Turf Club. Haha. Didn’t really spend a long time at there cause was “saja-saja” touring for fun and take photos. Happy Monday!
#1: Located on Level 4 of Straits Quay.
Passed By PenangPAC (Performing Arts Centre), Straits Quay – Kuala Lumpur has the KLPac (Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre), and now Penang has our very own PenangPAC – Performing Arts Centre of Penang. Oh yeah! Now I can get to enjoy some nice stage act, musical drama and show here in Penang.
It was opened on the 11th of November 2011, the 111111 day. I went to the Popular’s Book Fair few days ago and passed by the PenangPAC, so I went in to check it out.
#2: Wall of photography, illustrations and paintings.
Obviously, it’s a lot smaller than the KLPac. but then it’s looking spacious and nice with a simple decorations at the lobby. They have two halls which named Stage 1 and Stage 2. There’s also a wall that showcases the good print artworks like photography and illustration.
#3: I see they have a very nice looking interior office for their admin. Really like the workspace so much.
I think PenangPAC is a good platform on promoting performing arts to the local and also act as a stage to gather all the performing arts lover together. Will definitely go check out some show later.

Malaysian-Made PSA On Autism – This video is a Malaysian-made Public Service Announcement on the awareness of Autism. The video is in Chinese language and has English subtitle. It’s really professionally made with all the editing, BGM, photography and filmography so well in placed. Good job to the director Quek Shio Chuan.
#1: Roadside car park always get full because of cheap parking rate at RM0.30 per half hour.
Driving Through Jalan Pasar, Pulau Tikus – Jalan Pasar is where the Pulau Tikus Wet Market is and it’s get crowded and happenings in the morning. This post showcase a few photos taken a few days back when driving pass this road.
#2: Fruit seller by the roadside working on his fruits. An apple a day, keeps the doctors away.
#3: Roadside car park fee collector from the local municipal council. I think they should implement some sort of electronic payment system because at some times, you will not be able to find the fee collector to pay for your parking and that’s where you get trouble.
#4: Grandparents carrying grandson to go shopping at the morning market. The boutiques near the market do have good business.
#5: Went to park at a private open air car park at rate of RM3/entry on weekend and RM2/entry on weekdays. Hmm.
