  • Christmas Eve Night at Gurney Drive

    Christmas Eve Night at Gurney Drive

    Don’t know why so many people like to gather on the street of Gurney Drive on Christmas Eve night. On 2009’s Christmas Eve, I was there a while before going to the cinema to catch the premiere of Jay Chou’s The Treasure Hunter which is not really a good to watch.

    There’s fighting and spraying of police’s vehicles the year before and they ban the selling and using of artificial snow flakes spray. I did not see any people selling it but I still see people having it on hair, only started spraying it when the countdown hits 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 MERRY CHRISTMAS!

    The news came back again, there’s some young gangster got up a fight with the police and RELA member. That’s really OMG, I missed the show because I was in cinema and I also don’t want to be involve. Not interested in sprays now.

    Many friends tell me that this year’s Christmas Eve at Gurney Plaza and Gurney Drive was boring. Is it? I didn’t really know about it, I found my Christmas Eve quite interesting, even at Gurney Drive was fun because we were joking and talking all the way while waiting for the movie time.

    Maybe they don’t get to spray people (a lot), so it’s boring. The stage at the alfresco area of Gurney Plaza was pretty rocking too, I saw many people were like partying at there.

    Not bad what. Just I didn’t really like the Tresure Hunter, the movie was pretty lame and I don’t like the story. It’s just for Jay Chou and Lin Zhi Ling’s fans.

  • Penang Bridge Run, Shiok!

    Shiok is, excited, fun.

    I just love running on the bridge. Sad lah, I didn’t bring my camera along, if do sure snap a lot of picture. First time join this event. I am a noob runner so, I am in the Fun Run category, join the fun with thousands of people. Running on the high way and Penang bridge.

    You can hardly get a chance to walk on the highway and Penang Bridge. Unless, your car broke down. Haha! Didn’t expect there were so much people. Slept at 10 the night before then woke up at 4am. Had Milo, bun with egg.

    Bring nothing, but my iPod Shuffle filled with all the hot tunes. I got no confident that I can finish the run before 7am. I gain confident when I got there at the registration area when I saw so many high school student and young kid as young as 5-6-7 years old I think.

    Also, didn’t expect there got so many leng lui. HAHAHAHA. But my main objective is to finish the run and not see leng lui. I wonder is it a good idea to listen to MP3 while running, as your sweats get in the the earpiece. I stop my music in the middle of the bridge when U turn back that time. More fun listening to people run then music.

    Walk Walk Run Run Walk Walk. At start, I walk, fast walk, walk until high way there, then start to run, non-stop, till almost middle of the bridge, then walk, then run, then run walk run walk. HAHA.

    I ran 10km one and finish at almost 7am. Got a certificate or participation. Finish line was at USM, so many people. I think got 20k peoples or more. The pro run for 44km full marathon, then semi pro go for 22km. Haha

    Free juices, free isotonic drinks, free cereals, free coffee, free papers, free voucher via lucky draw, free Milo, free goodies bags with lots of can drinks and don’t know got free what already.

    The fun part is
    -Get to “walk” on the Penang Bridge.
    -Go back class and tell everyone I went to the Penang Bridge run, no one go, all noob. HAHA
    -See leng lui? Ahem. HELLO! I not pervert k. LOL.
    -Good night sleep later.
    -Gain stamina.

    Next year definitely go again, see you there! Don’t which category to join next year.

  • The Orient Voice Report

    Do you know the Orient Voice bloggers’ meet in Penang started at 12am and guess what time I woke up? Holy Shit, it’s 12.00pm. If my mom didn’t call me, I would have woke up more later than that. I set my alarm, but forgot to turn it on. Lame isn’t it?

  • Gurney Drive

    Long time didn’t post photo already. Here got one very familiar scene, as this is always from either my house’s balcony or my room’s window. I always take the same photo, haha. I like the sky colour but the lighting area were not sharp and a bit noise.

    Gurney Drive is a must go place when you come to Penang. Shopping mall and food are famous here. You can go for a jog along Gurney Drive pedestrian walk way in the morning at the same enjoying the cool sea breeze. Then get yourself some nice Bak Kut Teh and Dim Sum at many of the restaurant down Gurney Drive. At night, you can go clubbing at Gurney Hotel there or enjoy some coffee while surfing the net at Coffee Bean or Starbucks Coffee which can be found at Gurney Hotel and Gurney Place (Gurney Plaza).
