Christmas Decoration At Pavilion Shopping Mall, Bukit Bintang

#1. My favourite shopping mall. I don’t really like Sunway Pyramid by the way. HAHA.

Christmas Decoration At Pavilion Shopping Mall, Bukit Bintang – Christmas is around the corner right now and it’s happening in less than a month time. This goes to Chinese New Year as well because the coming Chinese New Year is coming very early in January (normally February). I am so excited for both of the festival as they make me feel very relax and happy.

#2.

I went to KL downtown few weeks back and went to walkaround the famous Pavilion shopping mall. Surprisingly the put up the Christmas decoration early in early November, The decoration is very beautiful with lots of Christmas trees placed around the main atrium.

#3.

Big sweet cake and giant decorative bells and balls are among the decoration too.

#4.

#5.

#6.

Now I am back to Penang, and I’m gonna go check out how’s the malls here are doing with the coming Christmas festival. Woohoo. Happy last month of 2011. If you still have leave, it’s time to clear it up and spend some time with you family and your loved one. Have a nice day!

KLCC And KL City Walk

#1.

KLCC And KL City Walk – Few weeks back, I went to Kuala Lumpur downtown alone and armed with a camera. I drove to the LRT station, parked my car there and took the public transport to town. I didn’t want to drive to downtown because I am very sick with the traffic congestion and also don’t want to pay for the expensive parking fee, so I went for public transport.

#2. The quiet LRT station – Taman Bahagia.

You know, the week before I went to KL, I drove there, it took me 1 hour plus to reach the Chinese VISA Centre at OSK Tower a.k.a. Bank Of China at Jalan Ampang from Bandar Sunway, from there, it took me another hour to reach Bukit Bintang. It’s really sickening. Only then I know there’s a LRT station right below the place to do the Chinese VISA, so it’s pretty convenient for me to take the LRT.

#3. Taken from OSK Building.

#4. OSK Building and Bank Of China, the place to do Chinese VISA.

Woohoo, I am going to China for travel soon, so I need to do VISA. Because I was in KL at that time, so I went directly to the Chinese VISA Centre to do the VISA. Normally if I am in Penang, I would just drop my passport at the travel agent, of course extra charges will be applied, and take a longer time too. One thing, please don’t go to the Chinese Embassy on Jalan Ampang, they don’t do VISA there, you have to go to 2nd level of the OSK building.

After I’ve done with the VISA thingy, I went to Bukit Bintang area for a little walk and look for lunch.

#5. The real Tong Pak Fu Hong Kong Dessert in KLCC just opened not long. There’s also a dessert shop with similar name in Penang named Tang Bo Fu. Haha.

Although Ampang Park Station (Chinese VISA place) and KLCC Station is just one stop away, but I was so lazy to walk so I take the LRT back to KLCC, alight and start touring around the place.

#6: Lovely KLCC Park.

#7: World tallest twin towers in wide angle!

From KLCC, I started my journey walking from the shopping mall to the convention center, where there will connect me to Jalan Kia Peng to Pavilion shopping mall and then to Bukit Bintang area.

#8. Construction in progress.

#9. Didn’t get a chance to walk on the air-conditioned underpass.

You know there’s actually an underpass from Suria KLCC to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. The funny thing is the underpass is located in the car park where air-conditioning is not available. And now, they have started to construct a air-conditioned walkway for the underpass. They should have work it out earlier!

#10

#11

Normally, going to Pavilion need to pass through Jalan Kia Peng and you have to walk under the sun and rain. Now they are building a air-conditioned bridge which connects KLCC to Pavilion shopping mall which is very good! They only opened part of it so it’s not fully connected to Pavilion. I was curious, I went on the bridge and see where it’s connected to at the moment.

It brought me to Corus Hotel, I went down the bridge and found a new hotspot in town – the KL City Walk.

#12. Free WIFI available at KL City Walk.

#13. The KL City Walk.

KL City Walk has a many restaurant located in a alley in between office blocks. Originally, the KL City Walk is just a lorong or lane behind office blocks. It’s then converted into a walking street featuring many restaurants for dining pleasure. It’s a very good idea of converting ugly back lanes into place like this.

#14. The KL City Walk is quite shady with tall buildings blocking the scorching heat of the sun.

#15.

The KL City Walk is well decorated with fans as well as some green plants and trees.

#16. An unknown brand bubble tea shop with the price of famous Chatime and Gong Cha. o.O

You can find many office worker dining here during lunch hour and tea time. It’s a hidden spot in town. I wouldn’t have know this place if the connecting bridge from KLCC to Pavilion doesn’t exist. Haha.

#17.

I reached Pavilion and saw construction was going on down there. Seems like there’s many construction are going on in the city. Woo.

Sunday At Taylor’s University In Super Wide Angle

#1

Sunday At Taylor’s University In Super Wide Angle – On a fine lovely Sunday, I mounted my super wide angle and headed to school to meet up with Wesley and Steve to discuss about some group project. Then I snap along with my almighty Sigma 8-16mm for Canon.

#2.

Haha, very random right? I wasn’t into serious shooting, so it was just simply shoot around the campus and to show you how Taylor’s University actually looks like in case you never see it before.

#3.

Shooting with wide-angle is indeed fun but sometimes at the widest open, it makes picture look weird and long and, distorted, perhaps is because of the 8mm focal super duper wide.

#4.

#5.

#6.

This super duper wide angle lens, I mainly use it for shooting interior shots. Do you like super wide angle?

Hello Malaysia’s Starbucks Coffee Card

Hello Malaysia’s Starbucks Coffee Card – I know it’s kinda late to share this up but then I still believe many people out there do not aware of the existence of Starbucks Coffee card in Malaysia. Haha. I have the similar card a few years back but that was the USA version and it could not be used here.

After a long wait, the Starbucks Coffee card is finally here in Malaysia. It’s actually just collectible prepaid card or can use as a gift card which you can store money in it and then use it to buy your beverage and cakes. The good part of it is that it has a nice design on the card which can turn collecting the card as a hobby.

Another thing is, you get a free welcoming drinks upon signing up for a card. You just need to pay RM20, as a minimum reload and you can get the card itself, as well as a welcoming drinks. Awesome! And best part of all, the welcoming drink can be collected in 90 days time so you can take your long and nice time.

Currently, there’s only 3 design, the original green color, and two Christmas special editions card. I have got the light blue, how about yours? =) By the way, remember to register your card on Starbucks website so it can be use.

Sunset At Kuan Hwa Seafood, Kuala Selangor

#1: The Kuan Hwa Kuala Selangor Seafood Restaurant.

Sunset At Kuan Hwa Seafood, Kuala Selangor – This is not a blog post about food, but it’s just happened to be at the famous seafood restaurant, Kuan Hwa at Kuala Selangor. During the trip to Kuala Selangor, the whole class went to for seafood dinner at this restaurant, but half of us did not eat at there, because we didn’t feel like eating seafood at that time.

#2: Snapping photos.

#3: Restaurants and houses on the water.

#4: Birds flying.

#5.

So what we did there was just talking and snapping photos, at the same time seeing others eat. The sunset at there was pretty and I had a feeling of very peaceful and relax at there. It’s like getting myself away from the hustle and bustle city life and the heavy assignments.
#6: MJ’s enjoying his take-away KFC at the seafood restaurant.

#7: Ruezhen too, was enjoying his KFC.

#9

The calm water and the quiet forest, with a little bit of breezy air blowing along, makes the atmosphere very enjoyable.

#10

#11

#12

#13

Sometimes, it’s good to be away from the busy city, out to the country side, for a little retreat. You know, college is so much different from high school, so much work, it gets stressful sometimes, and there’s no chance for failure because tuition fee is quite expensive, and that’s why a little retreat is good!

Anyway, if there’s chance, I will want to visit the place again.

Look Out Point, Ampang

#1: Someone celebrating birthday at there. Cool.

Look Out Point, Ampang – Have you ever wonder where to get a good and magnificent view of the big capital of Malaysia – Kuala Lumpur? It would be Look Out Point at Ampang. It’s not very far from town, on a little hill and at there you can get a wide perspective of the whole city and it’s really a nice place to chill.

What you will be seeing is not anything like the cityscape of Hong Kong or Singapore because the place is kinda far from the city centre and so, the cityscape became tiny and far.

#2: Welcome to Kuala Lumpur. The night view of Kuala Lumpur.

#3: Me and you, Hueisean.

#4: Hueisean the pretty girl.

Look Out Point is only accessible by road and at there has a various restaurant serving western and local cuisine. I have visited Haven Restaurant with dearest, Hueisean on a Saturday night but the food wasn’t that awesome. What’s great was the atmosphere and the awesome view.

#5: Nick Chan!

Driving there take a bit challenge at first as it doesn’t show up in my GPS device, but if you follow Google Maps, you can arrive there easily and the road accessing Look Out Point has no lamp, so it’s just lights from the vehicles on the road. =D Parking is rather cheap at RM2 per entry and you can opt for valet parking at the top for an extra RM3 but you probably difficult to get one as the parking always get full on top. We park our car down there and walk up the stairs, tiring a bit, yet fun with a little breezy wind.

#6: Stairs going down to the carpark.

#7: Look Out Point Western Food.

Eat, talk, chill, take photos and I like it. =D

Bukit Melawati At Kuala Selangor

#1: On the tram.

Bukit Melawati At Kuala Selangor – Hello people, I am back, I am back, I am finally back to blogging! Let’s get into the main topic of the day, 2 weeks ago, I went to a field trip to Kuala Selangor with my Diploma In Interior Design semester 3 classmate as well as my lecturer Miss Sofia. Well, I have been to Kuala Selangor before, the fishing village there but I have never been up to Bukit Melawati, the main attraction of the little country side town.

#2: On the tram, still, going up to Bukit Melawati.

Kuala Selangor is a quiet and peaceful town 45 minutes away from the hustle and bustle city life of Kuala Lumpur. What’s famous here are seafood, Bukit Melawati, fireflies seeing, as well as the Kuala Selangor Nature Park (which I think kinda sucks).

#3: Lighthouse on top.

#4: Monkey and the lighthouse.

#5: Monkey!!!

#6: Monkey!!!!!!!!!! Black.

We took a tram that took us from Kuala Selangor Nature Park up to the Bukit Melawati. The mini hill top is not very high, but yet it gives a spectacular view at the Malacca Straits and the special thing up there are the lighthouse and the monkeys! Yes, I mentioned about monkey.

#7: Nice view with Malacca Straits at far end.

#8: Zhi Sheng!

#9: The blogger me.

#10: Ken, Wesley, me and Steve.

#11: Wesley acting cool.

Upon arrival at the top, you will see many monkey wandering around the place, waiting tourist to feed them the monkey food that can be bought at RM1 at there. The monkey food basically is the Chinese Long Bean.

#12: Monkeys acting cool.

#13: The people.

Surprisingly, monkey at there looks different from the one in Botanical Garden, Penang which the monkeys there have black hair and are not aggressive. They won’t snatch or attack you for food.

#14: My lecturer. Haha.

#15: Junior.

#16: Zetty and Ana on the right.

#17: Rashid.

#18: MONKEYYYYY!!!

We spent some time up there enjoying the windy breeze and fooling around with the monkey. The place is quite nice. =D

The Jobs – CM Lim Guan Eng And Edison Chen

The Jobs – CM Lim Guan Eng And Edison Chen – Found these photos on the Facebook which are altered from the original Steve Jobs photo when he passed away. It’s really funny that how they show you who have a better “jobs” in between the Penang’s Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and Hong Kong celebrity Edison Chen.

CM Lim Guan Eng is so far the best chief minister of Penang in my opinion since he take over the whole state. Development grows, more investment in Penang and a lot more he had done to Penang although there’s still space to improve. I’m really glad that having Lim Guan Eng as the chief minister and hopefully he will bring Penang, my hometown to a developed city on par with other top city in the world.

Edison Chen, famous Hong Kong celebrity who falls in to various sex scandal in 2008 where the scandal photos of him and other girls were leak onto the Internet when his broken MacBook was sent to repair. That year was the most “down” year for him as it clearly showed his bad conducts. Recently, photos of him kissing a 16 years old girl was leaked again and the scandal is back. Anyway, despite all the scandal, I think he is quite powerful too for having his own fashion company – CLOT and media company CMD, and also handsome. No doubt this two people are compared for “Jobs”. LOL.

Good Morning 4:18AM

Good Morning 4:18AM – What am I doing at this wee hour of the early morning? It’s about 2 hours plus until sunrise and an hour more till the chicken co0k-a-doo. I believe many of you are sleeping sweetly, traveling in your dream world and there’s still people like me that’s not sleeping, perhaps gaming or studying. I am doing assignment, homework!

3 more weeks till end of semester and there’s many final submission is coming soon. Workload is heavy, not complaining anything, but just feel like needing more time to complete and perfect my work. It’s final, works have to be good and awesome.

I want to sleep too. I don’t to spend all night long working until the sunrise. It feels very weird not sleeping at night and that’s why I am writing this to wish you all a good night before heading to bed. There’s friends of mine that do work at night and don’t sleep at all, I find it quite weird and very wrong. At least, a little sleep of minimum of 4 hours is what I would do.

Well, do you spend time not sleeping in the night and do your work? Or you would rather sleep and do your work the next day, perhaps early in the morning? Share your view.

Bandar Sunway Shuttle Bus On Fire

Bandar Sunway Shuttle Bus On Fire – It was afternoon time where lunch time just passed. I had my lunch at Ming Tian Kopitiam right next to The One Academy and while on the way out, heading towards Sunway Pyramid for a little grocery shopping, I spotted a crowd of busybodies near the road and I detoured myself towards the busybodies and made myself one of them too.

I was behind the bushes, didn’t want to go close because not wanting to hurt myself, but the important is be a smart a caring busybody that doesn’t block the rescue work.

There were smoke, police and lots of busybodies, including me. The free shuttle bus provided by Sunway which ferries people around the area caught a fire. I didn’t know how, the fire was in the bus. The smoke of burning were coming out from the bus, non-stop. I walked closer, it’s burned, pitched black in the bus, sort of like interior BBQ.

Many fire extinguishers were used but somehow the fire couldn’t be put out. The fire fighters were on the way there, I saw them right across the road, U-turning to the place. I was afraid that it was gonna explode, and I walked back to Sunway Pyramid. Luckily no one was injured. Yeah, great, good, woo, ok, end.
