Went To Watch Germany VS Spain Semi-Final

2 more match, the third and fourth placing and the final game then world cup will be own, by don’t know who. Wonder when the Octopus Paul will do the talking. The little 8 legged creature is my idol! After the semi-final, Germany and Spain which it predicted Spain will win, I really very impressed with its performance. Really 100% correct for all the matches it predicted who-will-win.

Germany is out and I am so happy. 2 days ago, I went out to watch the semi-final at midnight. First time going out and join so many people and watch together and it’s pretty fun. Though, the match started at 2.30am midnight here in Malaysia and felt sleepy some times. Mom didn’t want me to go out late so she asked me out early. I went to meet up my friends, and they brought me to Inti College at Bukit Jambul at around 12am.

It’s kinda crazy right, going to college at that time, for what? Study as they said but what I saw was, Facebooking, sleep, but one was really studying, working out on math.

Because of it’s still early, we spent time at the college 4th floor which is a study area that opens for 24 hours. I am not a student there, they are. There were Zheng Feng, Boo Teik and Chien Chern.

Boring and cold night and I didn’t know what to do too. Just online a little bit, talk a lot, and watched YouTube a little bit. The place was quiet. After thinking for where to watch, we wen to McDonald’s at Sungai Dua, near to university there.

It’s super freaking crowded when we reached there. Outside is totally full and it’s only 1.30am. An hour before the match started and it’s full already.

The whole McDonald’s was like so messy because people moved the tables around to get close to the only one HD TV. Best thing of McDonald’s is the broadcast is in HD and there’s free refill for Coca-Cola. Rocks, and also free WiFi too. Just suck is there’s not enough of power point for my laptop.

Boo Teik was really sleepy at Inti but after having a Double Spicy Chicken McDeluxe, he was energized again. LOL. Now McDonald’s have a lot of double stuff, double big mac, double double cheese burger. Woo, really rocks.

Zheng Feng was really hardworking, working on math all night long! Non-stop! OMG.

Some ang mo came in after half time and was like “Fuck Germany, Germany Busted and blablabla” Kinda annoying. I think 70percent of the people at McDonald’s were Germany fans and Spain rocks! Haha, I was with Spain. I was thinking of overnight at friend’s place but given that I was still awake and not sleepy, I decided to drive home and sleep on my comfy bed. Yeah.

Hennessy Artistry at QE2

Many many weeks ago, I was invited to Hennessy Artistry at QE2. Thanks to Yong Xiang who referred me to Hennessy’s PR people. I was pretty excited because going to an inviting-based event and first time stomping into the clubbing scene. I am not a clubber, but I do go to club, just for fun and look around. Haha.

I asked along Alvin, Jin, Arron (via yiphing.net), Boo Teik and Chien Chern to go there too. It seems pretty interesting because it’s my first time going to such event and QE2. Have been living in Penang for so many years but it’s my first time going to QE2. It’s more likely a pub/restaurant/club, facing the sea.

Cool stuff is that we need not to queue up long like others who register through the website for pass. We’re bloggers and there’s special lane for us.

Though, looking at the list, I did not see many Penang bloggers at there. Where’s all the Penang bloggers?

Upon registration, we get a paper band as passes to go in. Red color are for media/blogger which can access VIP and media area.

Regarding my bald head, I just came out from National Service not long ago. Haha. And I was already partying.

It’s pretty high tech now. There’s a TV showing tweets of people who tweeted about the event, I tried to get mine on but it’s loading slow. Do follow my Twitter. =)

The upper level is for media/blogger/VIP. Though, hardly find any familiar faces there. I know too little people.

Best thing of the night was not the music, or dancing as there’s not any dance floor at there, it’s the Hennessy that rocks, mixing with different mixer, apple, lime, coke or just plain water. Apple and lime were good. =D And one thing, it’s free flow!

Because of free flow, early early at night already can see people down on the floor already. I am not a heavy drinker, I can’t drink much too. Don’t laugh me. Haha.

Basically, people just enjoy drinking that night, and a little big of music and rapping by Joe Flizzow, Sona One and Ad Bangers.

It’s so freaking crowded and happenings in there. Want to move around also hard and one thing, it’s pretty warm that night as it’s open air, facing the sea. Sea breeze was not enough to breeze us up too. Sweating.

There’s also a food corner where the chef make food with Hennessy VSOP, though we didn’t get a chance to try it because the queue and waiting was damn long. We were so not patience.

Met some familiar faces at last, Povy, Jane and Sze Sze.

The free flow ended some time and we decided to leave that place as nothing much to do at there already. We were there just to see see and not get drunk. So we went somewhere else.

Well, it’s kinda rocks and like it. If any of you PR people do need blogger to attend your event, contact me. =D Hahaha.

Sushi Making and Donations

I’m writing something very random. Two weekends ago, I went to kids sushi making class at Sushi King early in the morning. Not saying I learned nothing, I learned that vinegar must mix with sugar and salt before mixing into the Japanese rice. Haha. You can check out full writeup at my food blog.

Then I found a very cool 20 dollars in Wallace wallet. I don’t know why a 20 dollars bill look so amazingly beautiful to me. It’s not the value, if you compare it with Euro or a British Pounds, I still like an american dollar bill. It rocks!

HAHAHA, saw Caster and I was faking it. Flag day was really powerful, they even come rang my bell when I was at home.

Live: Sitting at Inti’s 4th Floor Study Boxes

Hello people. I am sleepy but no choice to wait for the World Cup Semi Final match at 2.30am which is the match of Spain vs Germany. This will be a very exciting match as both are strong and the psychic octopus went to Spain this time. To know whether the octopus is really that powerful or not, we have to watch this match. If Germany wins, kill the octopus, if Spain wins, then the octopus own!

I support Spain by the way because I dislike Germany. Sorry Germany fans. =D

Right now, I am sitting at Inti’s College 4th floor study boxes at the hostel area with my college friends waiting for the match. They are studying and I am onlining, waiting the time to pass.

Happy World Cup!

Batu Ferringhi Night Market and Hard Rock Hotel with Chien Chern

After going to the Region 1 Leo Club farewell thingy by the beach, I found out it’s still early and I have a feeling of going to Batu Ferringhi. I have no idea why I like Batu Ferringhi so much lately. Then I realised Chien Chern lived in Batu Ferringhi so I called him out for a walk.

Never knew that it’s so jam on a Saturday night, traffic was super duper slow, I guess it’s because of the Sixty9ine Mansion. So if you want to go there on a Saturday night, go at 9pm and slowly jam until 10pm when you will reach there.

I have not go to the night market at Batu Ferringhi for quite a long time although it’s like 15 minutes drive from my house only. Now all who go there are like tourists from the Middle East, even the worker who operate the stalls are not locals. Stuff selling there are always the expected fake LV, Gucci, Burberry and more which I didn’t even bother to take a look. Specs and DVDs are good buy at there IMO. Hehe.

Was thinking of going into Sixty9ine to take a look but it was so freaking full and crowded and have to wait. So we decided to go another place and that’s one of my favourite too, Hard Rock Hotel! Rocks.

There’s many of don’t know where from, Indonesian Malay I assumed and a Malay live band on the hotel lobby. Pretty cool.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnoYNt-f2UE&w=640&h=505]

One of the song they sang was Hijau, which reminded me about NS life. I guess those who have been to NS will know about this song.

LOL. Lame and vain.

Region 1 Leo Club Farewell

Last last Saturday afternoon, I went to the beach to check out the Region 1 Leo Club Farewell thingy. You know, I was once a very active Leo Club member in Chung Ling High School, was a assistant treasurer and a vice president and also the web editor. But now, I am on a Leo Club hiatus mode, still looking back for the feel. One thing is that, I am still a Leo Club member for Leo Club of Penang (City). =D Pretty hard to explain what’s Leo Club, it’s get-together, have fun, and do good things.

Back to last last Saturday afternoon, I was bored at home and the Leo Club had a farewell gathering at the beach, I have nothing to do so went to check it out.

Saw them having fun with games like making sand castles and more. I was there just to pass time, see see, talk talk with some Leo friends, take photo and enjoy the breeze.

I was so not into their games at that time, no why. Hehe.

Then met Foyi’s friend, Jocelyn, Cindy, Min Xiang and Wallace. We went to dinner at Sri Ananda together then.

Fun thing about Sri Ananda is that there a people nicely dressed who greet you when you go in at the back entrance of the restaurant. We took photo with him. =D

Want join Leo Club? Join Penang (City). =D I am managing the website now.

Batu Ferringhi With Chien Chern and Cheong Kin

I don’t know why recently my ass is so naughty and couldn’t stick still to the chair. For some night, I felt like going out for some fresh air and not staying at home. And my recent favourite place is Batu Ferringhi, a beach like 15 minutes from my home.

Last time I usually will go to town or go to pasar malam at Jelutong but suddenly feel like going to Batu Ferringhi, thinking of getting out of the busy city to a tourist area, more peace, more fun. Haha.

It was a Wednesday night and I asked Cheong Kin who stays in Tanjung Bungah and Chien Chern who stays in Batu Ferringhi out for a little boys chit-chat night and meet-up before I leave Penang. We actually didn’t know where to go. No night market walking because I went there a week before with Chien Chern already. I wanted a place with cheap drinks, with peoples and a cool environmnet, but hardly find any at Batu Ferringhi, especially one with cheap drinks.

People have been talking about the Sixty9ine Mansion, a pub/bistro with swimming pool and lots of sofa, and also DJ for music. It’s a nightlife place, not really a club but it’s a cool hang out place for youngster. I’ve never been there before, curious and we decided to went in to check it out.

It’s pretty but there’s not many people maybe it’s still early. Walked around but didn’t want to look for a seat because we knew it’s expensive, mostly liquor in the menu. No chicks, we only boys, where fun? Haha.

Took some photos and now at least I can tell people I went in before, for photos. LOL. Anyway, if there’s chance, I wanna go there again, for drinks of course.

Right after we left, people like starting to flow in. I thought it’s ladies night and there would be many people but not. Maybe because it’s weekdays and people lazy to go until Batu Ferringhi which is pretty far. If you go there on a Saturday, it’s freaking full and the whole Batu Ferringhi is so jam because of this Sixty9ine.

In the end, we went to Sunset Bistro for drinks, and man’s talk. There’s people curious of what’s man’s talk. Simple, man’s topic – girls, what else? Gaming? Haha. This visit can say it’s my second time going there, the first time was very long time ago already. But have to say, this place is cool! Like it.

Chien Chern.

Charging my gadget.

Cheong Kin.

Although it’s still not the cheapest place we’ve found, but it’s OK already because there’s no more cheap place in Batu Ferringhi. It’s a tourist area and we can expect nothing. Any idea or recommendation of chit-chat place with cheap drinks? Haha.
