Away to PLKN (Day 48): Cute Performance Night of Foyi Children Camp 2009

Here comes the performance night during the 2009 Foyi Children Camp. I was very tired, nervous and excited because I was in charge in leading the dance for my team. I choreographed quite a few part of the whole dance, also need to thank Jin Sheng, Crystal and Kitsuki Yeoh for the help.

The theme that my team chose was to promote a thing called towel. Haha.

Night falls, all the children campers were required to gather at the main hall and parents of the children flocks in.

We have our lovely Kok as one of the judge for the night. He is big. Everyone was so excited for it and very ready. Me too, nervous.

Then start.

Here’s my team. =D Actually they didn’t really know how it goes, so I was at the first to lead them with my voice. Luckily the music was louder than my voice.

Two young MCs.

Camera, action.

Coolest dance for the night.

Got fashion show also, handsome and pretty kids.

We as teacher/caretaker/helper actually needed to go to the stage to talk about the dress and I was the one. =D So what we had there was a simple blazer which gives a feel of lux, simple and coolness as for the dress, there’s flowerish feel which relates to our Penang’s beautiful beach, simple yet promoting tourism. LOL.

There’s violin performance too. Cool.

What they had on the stage was self-made artwork with newspaper. It’s from different group at there. I didn’t help out on this because I was not there when they made it.

Kids are cute!

Away to PLKN (Day 47): Foyi Children Camp 2009

This is a very late post, I didn’t think of posting it up but since I am in NS right now, I’ll share something up on my blog. On last December, 2009, I attended 3D2N children camp organized by Foyi, a Buddhist society. The camp is also Buddhism-related. Foyi collaborated with Leo Club of Chung Ling High School to make this camp and it’s already 11th camp already.

I was there too in 2008.

Actually I didn’t sign up as helper or in their committee. I went there voluntary, it happened on the weekend before last SPM paper, Chinese. I was playful and didn’t want to spent so much time reading and by that time, I already didn’t have much feel for reading already, so I went to check out their camp, volunteer help for them. Haha. Is that the reason of me getting C for Chinese? I don’t think so. LOL

Since I didn’t tell them I would be there, they didn’t expect me to come and help, and so there’s no name tag and cert for me. But that’s OK, I made myself a tag at there with marker pen and I gave myself a post as 校长, Principal. LOL. It’s just for fun but I was in one of the group too, as helper, caretaker, teacher, taking care of the kids. The year before, I was MC, so I didn’t join in much fun with the group, but I decided to have a change this year. They did ask me to be MC again, but I rejected, because I’ve no feel for it and I couldn’t be there all the time.

All wet!

Cute cute.

I went there morning and went home at night. I didn’t overnight at there. There’s only 2 Form 5 people, me and Min Xiang, others were just preparing for SPM Chinese paper I guess. They had a lot of fun games, learning, performances, talks and many many thing.

First day, I didn’t stay long. I only really start helping out on the second day, helping Crystal, Jin Sheng and Kitsuki Yeoh, my team’s other helpers. =D

When I arrived on the second days, they had already started playing games. Games was a little bit same as the year before, but there’s something different too. Most interesting was still splashing water to each other. I have no idea why children/youth camp love water so much.

Kok Sheng.

Wash plate with Kelvin.

Jason, Crystal and Me. OMG, miss Jason.

Kitsuki Yeoh. =D

Corrinne, me and Woei Ning. I don’t know name of boy boy. Oops.

Kenny!

What they did on the second day is playing games and preparing for night’s performance. There’s a performance show at night and parents of kids were invited to come see. We had to prepare either a dance or a sketch to promote so
mething, an item, then will let people to guess what we were promoting. It’s like making an advertisement.

As for my group, we did a dance to promote towel and I choreographed part of the dance. Since then, I only knew that dancing and choreographing is so hard.

Another show for the night was fashion show which was about making something cool out of newspaper. Some of the helpers had already prepared water color and blings blings for it. I only knew about it that afternoon, if I had knew it earlier, I would brought more thing for my team. =D

Handsome kid, look like Korean.

Everyone was busy that afternoon. I was choreographing the dance in a short time. Fun and tired! One things, all meals for the 3 days were vegetarian! Not bad also I would say. ^^

Tict Chyn!

Pei Chia concentrating seriously.

Jeysica.

Boon Yan.

Preparing the stage for night performance.

Stay tune, next would be the night performance.

Away to PLKN (Day 45): Baby at Mae Salong with Cousins

Few months ago, I went to Sungai Petani to have my dinner with my relatives and cousins who are residing at there. They said it was to celebrate getting the SPM result, so we went there to eat. It had been quite some time we didn’t go to Sungai Petani already. Sungai Petani is about 30-45 minutes drive from Penang up north.

Uncle brought us to a Chinese-Thai restaurant called Mae Salong. It sounded Malay to me at first, but it’s actually operated by Thai.

The place is pretty cool, with fountain, ponds, fishes and a lot of woodware. Something special and still cannot be found in Penang yet.

Cousin-in-law, Lily.

The main point of the post is to share the photos of a baby, he is my cousin’s cousin. Haha, pretty far away from my relationship. Very cute and he likes camera flashes on him. =D

Wan Tan Mee at Jalan Sekolah La Salle

This is a guest post by GenYong.

Hello guys, is me again GenYong here! When you drive through the Air Itam road from Chung Ling High School to town, I am sure you will pass by Shang Wu Primary School. Outside of the school there are some hawker stalls serving their dishes in afternoon. Have you try it before?

I tried the Wan Tan Mee at there before. It is cheap but tasty! The plate of Wan Tan Mee is quite big and really taste good for me. Usually people crowded when tea time and lunch time too. I am not sure about is there selling at night.

The price for one plate of Wan Tan Mee is quite reasonable and there are many ingredients inside the plate of Wan Tan Mee. So if you got drop by there you can go and take a try. Besides Wan Tan Mee, there are also some hawker food served, take your choice! Location is outside Shang Wu Primary School which next to Heong Giam Si Temple.

Away to PLKN (Day 43): Pai Ti Kong, Pray Sky God At Weld Quay

It’s the yearly Pai Ti Kong festival again, but this happened like in February. Long time ago already, sorry but nevermind, I am posting my photos up again. This is 3rd years going to Weld Quay to take photos. Every year also go there, won’t boring one meh? I feel not.

I think it’s fun with many people around, fireworks and friends, but I don’t like to take photo of the same thing again. Very boring and I feel stress as I’ve no idea what to shoot. I always try my best to shoot the best thing, the best shot to share with you guys and here are they.

So during the ninth day of Chinese New Year, I went there with Alvin, Kooi Jin, Min Xiang and Kok Sheng to shoot photos. Very fun because there’s friend. Last two years, there’s mama, papa and me only.

Photographers and DSLR users are getting more and more. So many people go there, arming with a DSLR, shoot here and shoot there. I didn’t want to join them again because I’ve went there before. I brought tripod for the first time so I tried slow shutter that day.

Pork rocks!

One thing, I am still not good at flash. I still prefer natural lighting.

Now Miku also got LED, very high tech already.

At first, there’s me only. Later then found Kooi Jin, Alvin, Min Xiang and Kok Sheng. Kooi Jin, my junior had became my assistant and helped me carrying my tripod because he wanted me to fetch him home. Haha, but thank you a lot.

This year was different a bit for me, because I went there on my own, I could stay longer and shoot anything I want, I even go further intor Chew Jetty where I did not last time. Interesting!

The wooden house on the water are so cool, there’s people staying at there and some houses were open for visit at that time. Pretty nice man.

It’s people mountain people sea, that’s a Chinese idiom saying people here and there, very happenings, very crowded. Want to move around also hard.

I waited for fireworks, then I waited for the arrival of beloved Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.

Kooi Jin on the left.

CM came to pray.

I went to close to CM Lim Guan Eng just to take photos of him. He is favourite of everyone. Everyone like him here in Penang. Yeah! Rocks. He came to give some speech, lou sang and go away already. This is what they call, give face.

After CM lou sang, the people there join in to lou for fun.

There this photographer from Oriental Daily. He complained me of having a big lens which block him from taking photograph. WTH.

CM Lim Guan Eng shake hand with everyone.

I love Ti Kong! But I am not Hokkien so I was not involve in the praying process. =)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHAN YIK HUNG, MY BROTHER!

Away to PLKN (Day 42): After Getting SPM 09 Result

On the SPM 09 Result Day, it’s a very hot weather, I sweat like hell and I felt sticky but somehow I didn’t go home to change, yucks. It’s because everyone didn’t do so, so I also lazy went home. After some air-conditioned blowing, it’s not as yucky as before already. Haha

Arron Lim, the humor guy.

So after getting the result in school, we went to Harvest In to had our lunch. I intro them to this place because it’s cheap, AC-ed and nice place. Just a little bad on finding place for parking. There’s 10 of us at the lunch.

Chien Chern, the handsome one.

Alvin, the cool one.

Then we went to Gurney Plaza for a walk. Actually we didn’t know go there to do what. I didn’t want to go to KTV because I knew on the night, we were going to KTV already. So we skipped Red Box in the afternoon.

Inti College gang.

We just walked around the place and talk crap and jokes all along. Met friends, then take photos. Then we went for a movie at the cinema, it’s Green Zone and Matt Damon rocks. Always love his movie and director, Paul Greengrass rocks, who directed Bourne Ultimatum and Bourne Supremacy before, my all-time favourite movie.

Phaik Sin, my tuition friend last time.

Also met some friends who had just came back from first batch of NS there too! Wee. That aft
ernoon was pretty interesting and super tired and sleepy.

======WORLD CUP FEVER======

2010 Fifa World Cup is coming and I am so excited about it. Frankly speaking, I am not a football fan but when it comes to big game like EURO or World Cup, I am super into it because I want to join the fun with all the football fans do.

So in this coming World Cup, who do I support the most? It’s England! [ADV] So cute that Celcom have bears (they called it the Celcom Blue Bears) representing each country, like my favourite team is called Englbear. =D

Away to PLKN (Day 41): Lion Dance at Tiger CNY Miao Hui

I got a little bit crazy already and is bad at managing my content. Suddenly I jump out a post about the Miao Hui that happened during Chinese New Year in February, a long time ago. Do you mind or not? Mind also I have to post it up already, who call me to be in NS right now and I’ve no content to write. WTF.

Anyway, let’s cut the crap and going into something interesting. So this year’s Miao Hui was unlike last year, this year, I sat down with Alvin at the Lion Dance area to see the Lion Dance show from start to end. I didn’t know why last time didn’t go check it out.

It seems like very interesting because there’s so many people standing by to wait for the performance. Alvin is a fan of Lion Dance, me is not. We got a good spot in front of everyone, most photographers like us where there too!

Something wrong with the schedule that day. It’s 15 minutes behind schedule, only then it started.

They were great, they can jump up and down so steadily without any mistake. I wish I could too!

Some Chinese said touching the Lion head bring good luck and prosperity. After the dance, the Lion heads were placed on the ground and everyone went to touch it. Me too! Good luck for me. Haha.

Away to PLKN (Day 39): 5SA1 Gathering and Farewell For My NS

Seems like among the peeps that attend the gathering, it’s only me that go to NS. I requested for a gathering and a farewell for me before going to NS on 25 March 2010. Because Ee Teng who went to Singapore came back too, we had the 5SA1 class of 2009 of Chung Ling High School gathering at Jin Jie’s house.

Although not everyone can attend, I am still happy there’s still people around. You know, after high school, everyone busy with their own things and very hard to get together. Got 10 person can consider many already.

We first gathered at Jin Jie’s house to wait everyone to arrive. Then we walked to the coffee house to had our dinner. After that walked to another coffee house to eat Chinese desserts. Yummy!

Stim Beng Tian.

Ee Teng and Hock Sheng.

Jin Jie.

It’s the botak me.

Of course, with so many boys together, it’s talking and eating only. Actually gatherings are always like that only. Nothing much.

Satays!

When we got back to his house, there’s satay bought by Jin Jie’s dad. Delicious and we talk again. Everyone was like talking different topic, some talk about studies, some talk about girls, some talk about games and some were gambling. LOL. Chinese New Year is over already.

LOL, don’t know what they were doing.

Chee Pherng.

Hock Sheng with my specs.

Gambling wtf?

Waited for Jing Min and Young Hean who came late then we took group photos, only then I went home.

Young Hean, pro basketball player.

Hairful with hairless.

Poser got kick. LOL.

Hope there’s more gathering in the future. 5SA1 rocks right?

Away to PLKN (Day 37): Pre-Birthday Karaoke for Alvin’s 18th Birthday

This happened on the today of two months ago, 3 March 2010. =D Since I am NS right now, I have plenty of time to post it up, sorry for all the outdated post. Hopefully after NS, everything will get back on track.

So on this day, of two months ago, it’s Alvin Yang‘s birthday eve, we went to Red Box for karaoke. He’s my buddy that I’ve known him for like 5 years in high school already.

Zez Chien.

Early morning, I went out for breakfast with the usual breakfast people, Arron, Chien Chern, Yiphing and Chaiwei.

Yiphing.

Chai Wei.

It’s Old Town Kopitiam at Penang Times Square. No idea why choose there, but then Old Town is not my favourite place already. I don’t really go there so often as before, eventually it’s always not in my eating list. I feel sad for Penang Times Square because there’s so many coffee house and restaurant, but still very quiet? I was there too early?

Amanda, Joanne, Sher Reen and Yiphing.

Charles and Amanda, lovely couple.

Then in the afternoon, we went to Red Box karaoke, my favourite hang out place. ^^ At first, there’s me, Arron, Chien Chern, Yiphing, Zez Chien, Tee Jin and Chen Yuen. Alvin came in an hour late because he had class. Then Charles, Amanda, Joanne and Sher Reen came in to sit for a while only and take photos.

Actually it’s not really what big birthday celebration, because there’s no birthday cake. We treated Alvin the Red Box and wishes “happy birthday”, he didn’t sing much though, but me as usual, always sing a lot. Haha.

Alvin, Arron and Tee Jin, all siao kia.

Happy so-belated birthday. Shit, I am not in the photo. >.<
