光明新春庙会 Guang Ming Daily’s Miao Hui 2012 – The press centre of Guang Ming Daily on Macalister Road turns into a happenings carnival on last Sunday night where thousands flocked into the compound of Guang Ming Daily and Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Centre. It’s the annual ‘temple fair’ by Guang Ming Daily which is a mini carnival that stages performance, dragon dance, lion dance, and a mini art-craft market in conjunction with the celebration of Chinese New Year.

This ‘temple fair’ or known as Miao Hui to the Chinese is a smaller scale of Chinese New Year carnival celebration by the Penang State Goverment.

It happened on the Saturday night that I was free and have got nothing to do, curiously, I went to check out the Guang Ming Miao Hui on Macalister Road, armed with my photography gear. My friend Min Xiang, Kok Sheng, Sammy and Stanley were there too, I went there to meet them up.

#4: Kaka Art Market.

The whole carnival occupied two addresses on Macalister Road, the Guang Ming Daily & Sinchew Daily Press Centre and the Sun Yat-Sen Museum. There’s a mini art market (Kaka Art Market) at there which sells plenty of cute and cool handicraft. All the handmade were pretty impressive and nice. I bought something at there too.

The Miao Hui is mainly about the mini art market, stage performance which includes local artists, dragon dance, wushu demostration, magic show, dance performance and a special appearance of traditional dragon dance – Ban Deng Long 板凳龙, which the long dragon is made of wooden plank and then decorated with colourful Chinese lanterns.

Penang Turf Club Horse Show 2011

#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.

#16: Indie band playing on the stage.

#17: Kids.

#18: Take photos on the horse. Knight!

#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!
