  • My Open House during Tiger Chinese New Year

    My Open House during Tiger Chinese New Year

    New Year, New Year, I am still talking about new year because there’s nothing much to talk already, my long holiday is coming to an end. That’s sad. I will be going to National Service on 28th March 2010, so please do miss me and don’t stop visiting my blog. ^^

    Chinese New Year is always fun and is the best part of the year. It’s about food, money, gambling, friends, talking, traveling, and holidaying. Only dislike thing is, it’s traffic jam everywhere! Especially my place, near to a shopping mall and the sea. That sucks for me.

    Met Phei Qin at Gurney.

    Met Chen Yuen with Sher Reen. ^^

    To make Chinese New Year even more fun, more happenings, friends came visit to my place. Obviously was to get ang bao from my beloved parents, but nevermind, it’s Chinese New Year, everyone’s happy. Hehe.

    Ok, the two photos above were not about open house. It’s before open house where I went to Gurney Plaza for a walk, it’s too bored at home, lazy to go onto the Internet also and met some friends.

    The first visit by friend wasn’t really open house, it’s just visit, but I’ll considered it as open house, because my house was open for visit and they came. Thanks all, the first visit was by the Leo Club juniors, shit, should not say junior because it makes me sound so old, they are all my Leo Club friends, the younger one. ^^ Check list, there’s Kenny, Kelvin, Amanda and Corrinne.

    Cool brother, Yikhung.

    Actually visits during Chinese New Year do simple thing only, gambling and talking.

    IMG_4209 by nicholaschan.

    IMG_4211 by nicholaschan.

    Only a little attention paid on what’s showing on the television. It’s always, blackjack, blackjack, 7 point, 8 point. Chinese loves to gamble during CNY. I like winning money. XD

    IMG_4227 by nicholaschan.

    The next visit was on the next day. It’s very last minute where I asked my friend whether want to come over to my place or not. Parents had a real open house, with lots of food, drinks, beer and their friend.

    IMG_4237 by nicholaschan.

    IMG_4231 by nicholaschan.
    These adults gamble very powerful, it’s tens and hundreds whereas us were like, cents and bucks.

    IMG_4235 by nicholaschan.

    The Chinese style of party. I don’t really know how to organize a party, the main reason is because I don’t really know how a party goes on, dance? food? talk? shout? scream? games? I am not that kind of person who think, but in my mind, I love party, I would like to go to and see how it’s like if there’s a chance. You see like in those American teenager film, their party is like so cool, so happenings.

  • Tiger Chinese New Year’s Eve

    Tiger Chinese New Year’s Eve

    I am back everyone. This is really shit, had been hiatus, had been on holiday for so long and I suddenly feel uncomfortable with typing and writing blog. But I guess I must stop myself being a lazy butt slacking everyday during this of my very own Chinese New Year holiday. Although I am already in holiday right now and before CNY, but CNY’s holiday is more lazy than before.
    IMG_3758 by nicholaschan.

    No idea where to start writing and sharing, so gonna share my Chinese New Year’s Eve which is also the reunion day with family of all Chinese in the world.

    IMG_3760 by nicholaschan.

    Most people have their reunion DINNER, as for me, I have it for both LUNCH and DINNER. Shops as usual were open on that day until 6pm only because it’s still not an official holiday. Though on this year, the eve fell on a Saturday, so it’s nice for the schooling. Yay, I am not schooling at the moment.

    IMG_3761 by nicholaschan.

    People like steamboat, because it’s everyone-sit-down-together and share saliva and it’s reunion. Haha, few years back we still had steamboat but now we don’t. Grandma said it’s troublesome, a lot to prepare and IMO, I don’t really like steamboat a lot. Now people either just go to the restaurant, buffet, or just cook some nice dishes and eat-together.

    IMG_3768 by nicholaschan.
    Watching Opening Ceremony of Winter Olympics Vancouver 2010 and lunch at the same time.

    Unfortunately, it’s not everyone on the table. Some were stuck on the jam, some were far away in Australia studying and so, it’s not fully reunited. It’s still good to have many people in the house. For lunch, I go to family of daddy’s side at night would be family of mommy’s side.

    IMG_3769 by nicholaschan.
    Brother Yikhung.

    Many food and very full. There’s abalone too! Don’t know why during New Year, people cooks abalone. Didn’t stay long at grandma’s place because nothing much to do there. We went elsewhere.

    Stay at home also boring, so brother, cousin Wai Leong and I went to Gurney Plaza to walk around and eat ice cream! Ice cream on a hot day was nice. Something’s wrong with the weather, from the eve till now, it’s so hot everyday outside.

    IMG_3778 by nicholaschan.

    There’s still many people in the mall despite it’s an eve, you will be thinking everyone went for reunion meal but not. I believe it’s their last minute shopping! =D I bought a t-shirt on that day too. And everything will be new on the next day, the New Year day.

    IMG_3779 by nicholaschan.
    Wai Leong.

    IMG_3780 by nicholaschan.

    Still, we were not going home. We went to town for another dessert again, Famous Penang Road Chendul.

    IMG_3784 by nicholaschan.

    It’s just so refreshing and chilling. Although I got a little flu that time, still, this really chill me off. One question, is it that when people is having a flu, he/she can’t take in cold things?

    Night time came, and it’s reunion dinner of mommy side’s family! It had been many years that grandma didn’t cook for reunion dinner, have forgotten for how many years already. Every year, we would just book a restaurant which opens on the eve, then eat there. Uncles and aunties all came back from Johor and Sungai Petani, so nice that Penang is the meet-up point and I am there, no traveling far. =D

    It’s a few-courses dinner. Forgotten how many course, OOPS, because that the dinner wasn’t that nice. Just simply stuck the food in, I only liked that roasted piglet the most. Meat, I like!

    IMG_3852 by nicholaschan.

    I have think before that New Year mu
    st go to the cinema but somehow I didn’t go before, now only I know that movie tickets were all purchased few days before CNY and the cinema is very full during CNY! No chance to watch movie for latecomer like me.

    IMG_3853 by nicholaschan.

    IMG_3859 by nicholaschan.

    We didn’t want to go home so early, so went to the jazz bar at G Hotel which have an awkward name, G SPOT. There’s live Jazz music playing all night long.

    IMG_3864 by nicholaschan.

    Played with the lights, listened to the Jazz, drank some cocktail, and finally everyone went home. It’s Valentine’s Day the next day man, and also Chinese New Year, but heck I don’t have a Valentine, so chocolate was off and red packet was ON, and still ON! Come give me red packet, it gives you prosper. Hehe.

    Gong Hei Fatt Choi. Live Long and Prosper. XD

  • Night Char Koay Teow at Sa Tiao Lor 三条路 Gat Lebuh Presgrave

    Night Char Koay Teow at Sa Tiao Lor 三条路 Gat Lebuh Presgrave

    IMG_3669 by nicholaschan

    Last time I introduced before the Fried Rice at Lebuh Presgrave or more known as Sa Tiao Lor 三条路 to the locals. Last night, I went there for supper and I ordered the Char Koay Teow from the same stall that does the nice fried rice.

    The char koay teow quite delicious which I likey it. Just a bit sad that there’s only 2 not very big shrimp and a little bit spicy. If the shrimp gets bigger like at Lorong Selamat, and juicy, then it will be very very good.

  • Farewell for Liang Sun Who Goes To National Service

    Farewell for Liang Sun Who Goes To National Service

    Liang Sun, a friend, a classmate of mine has went to the National Service for 3 months, he departed today to the camp at Sungai Bakap in Bukit Mertajam. He will be gone for 3 months and they had farewell dinner for him at Queensbay the night before.

    IMG_3449 by nicholaschan.

    To tell you guys a secret, I have been chosen for National Service too, but then I am not allocated in the first batch and I don’t know is there will be any circumstances preventing me to go for the National Service or not. I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know.

    IMG_3422 by nicholaschan.

    I had my dinner before I went to Queensbay Mall because I know all the restaurant in Queensbay Malll are not budget restaurant and I am on tight budget recently because of jobless and less allowance and no schooling.

    IMG_3425 by nicholaschan.

    IMG_3423 by nicholaschan.

    IMG_3427 by nicholaschan.

    So basically it’s just everyone come out together, they eat, we talk and I take photos. =) Nothing much, just to say bye bye. I can’t imagine if I leave my friends and family, it will be very very very the sad I guess.

    National Service need to have a bald head, so Liang Sun was prepared for it. Some people prefer to have their hair cut at the camp.

  • Red Box Karaoke Right After Last Paper of SPM 2009

    Red Box Karaoke Right After Last Paper of SPM 2009

    Yes yes, it’s again, we went to Red Box karaoke after the last paper of SPM examination of 2009. That’s what I usually do after finishing a school examination. This is a very standard stuff and why Red Box? Because in Penang, there’s only Red Box karaoke and I just get to know that Neway Karaoke will be opening soon at Queensbay Mall soon.

    IMG_0457 by nicholaschan.

    Jing Min playing with the Red Box people.

    Our Chinese paper finished at 12.45pm that day, I went home to bath and got ready, then to Red Box with everyone. We were not the first SPM finisher, because fifth former who didn’t take Chinese paper had finished their SPM earlier.

    We have got the biggest room in Red Box which can have up to 20-25 people in the room and we have only got like 13 people.

    IMG_0469 by nicholaschan.

    Lek Jian, Me, Theresa, Hui Mei, Liang Sun.

    It’s not only us that went to Red Box, many people went there too on that day and I believe most of them are same like me, just finished their SPM, taking a break.

    IMG_0471 by nicholaschan.

    Priscilla.

    It’s not too many people in the room, it’s too many people came to Red Box on that day, people came in and our, “hi and bye”, very hard to communicate and interact with everyone.

    IMG_0472 by nicholaschan.

    IMG_0479 by nicholaschan.

    Lek Jian, Valen, Jia Wei, Yi Jun and me.

    Most important are still did I sing or not? Yes I did and enjoyed the singing, a lot. The Penang’s Plurkers had a room there too, I went there to say hi, sang a few songs and went back to my place. Hard to be at multiplace. I wish I can divide my body. Haha.
