Still remember Beng Tian? If you do read my blog from long ago, like since when I was Form 4, you will always see this person appear in my blog post. He is Beng Tian. Few days ago, I found him working at a computer store at Midland Park.
Don’t you think the uniform is very LOL?
During the holiday, I went to Butterworth with a few friends via the ferry instead of using the Penang’s Bridge. I don’t really always go to the mainland of Penang, it’s mostly factories at there, so nothing much for me to go over there. I tend to stick to the island more. However, that day was different, my friend went there to interview for a job and I followed along just for fun.
New place in town, Bar 36 The Social Club.
We parked our car at the parking lot near the ferry terminal and then went to the ferry. The parking was RM3 for half day and the ferry ride was free for going to the mainland. Ferry ride coming to the island need to pay though.
The weather on that day was pretty nice, not very sunny, a little bit cloudy.
Quiet ferry.
Saw a Star Cruise Virgo cruise ship near Swettenham Pier. Wish I can get on a cruise some days.
It’s very windy on the ferry. No idea how fast it’s moving on the sea, but I know it’s fast.
Many giraffe at the back.
We went there, looked for the job interview then took the bus to inner mainland to the AEON Jusco Seberang Jaya shopping mall to take a look. Then we went back to the ferry terminal before sunset. It’s so convenient.
No Touch N’ Go. It’s very manual, only accept coin and it’s RM1.60 for the trip back.
It’s us.
KOMTAR and George Town city!
Car deck.
Remember this photo?
Quite fun, pun. ^.^
Continued from previous post where I talk about going to the Jelutong seafront promenade, after that I thought of going to Queensbay Mall but I didn’t know what to do at there. I believe there sure will be many people too because it’s a public holiday, so we went somewhere else where we haven’t been to before.
It’s around 4pm, afternoon tea time, we went to the food stall at the market near to Sunshine Square at Bayan Lepas to eat our afternoon tea. I had a bowl of laksa there and they ordered themselves a bowl of tomyam noodle.
After tea time, there’s 2 lame ideas for next destination, one is Auto City and another is Gertak Sanggul, Teluk Kumbar. I didn’t feel like going to Auto City because I was there 3 days before Christmas so we went driving up to Gertak Sanggul for fun, pointless, it’s just driving.
Was thinking to check out the beach or something near to the sea but found out that there’s a bridge which connected out to the sea, and the bridge is broken and not usable. Too bad.
We were at the seaside in Jelutong and we were at the seaside again at Teluk Kumbar. I don’t know this place is Gertak Sanggul or Teluk Kumbar. I like to call it Teluk Kumbar more, so any idea, precisely, this place is Gertak Sanggul or Teluk Kumbar? I think is somewhere between Gertak Sanggul and Teluk Kumbar.
There’s sea, a good spot for sunset but we were early and we were so far away from sunset yet, like 1 hour more till sunset, moreover it was drizzling a little bit.
Broken bridge.
We then take photos again, the 3 of us. Hahaha.
It started to rain a little bit and we ran away from there. Since there’s no bridge, there’s no beach, nothing much to see, we went to other place again. Christmas Day 09 haven’t end yet!
Last year’s Christmas Day was special and very spontaneous. I woke up in mid morning and I have nothing to do, just surf the net and watch the TV. Initially, I thought of going to Penang Times Square at around 2pm after lunch to check out the Leo Club’s activity.
I went to find Chen Yuen and Chai Wei to go along, and when we were at Penang Times Square, there’s a long queue for carpark, which made me change my mind not to go there. I hate waiting for car park, it’s very very long.
We then spontaneously think of a place to go. The first stop was the Jelutong Seafront Promenade at Nautilus Bay, very unfamiliar name. I found this name on Google. =) It’s the seafront promenade at Bandar Sri Pinang, the four pillars standing high are the place’s sign.
We actually went there just for fun. No idea where to go and it’s not planned. Just got down, walked and took photos for a while then we hopped back on to the car and go to somewhere else.
The afternoon was pretty hot but the place was very windy because it’s seaside, though we didn’t stay long at there.
Chai Wei.
Chen Yuen.
There’s people fishing.
Nice view of the Penang’s Bridge.
I have got Christmas hat and I wore it the whole day! I realized most people here wear the Christmas hat on Christmas eve only, why so little people wear on Christmas Day?
Do you watch Lost? Are you a fan of Lost? Yes I very am. I like Lost and miss it so much right now. After a long wait, finally it’s back with the latest and last season very soon on 2nd February 2010. Woohoo! Excited, excited.
If you didn’t watch Lost before, check out some fanmade video and the official sneak peak below.

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.
Liang Sun, a friend, a classmate of mine has went to the National Service for 3 months, he departed today to the camp at Sungai Bakap in Bukit Mertajam. He will be gone for 3 months and they had farewell dinner for him at Queensbay the night before.
To tell you guys a secret, I have been chosen for National Service too, but then I am not allocated in the first batch and I don’t know is there will be any circumstances preventing me to go for the National Service or not. I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know.
I had my dinner before I went to Queensbay Mall because I know all the restaurant in Queensbay Malll are not budget restaurant and I am on tight budget recently because of jobless and less allowance and no schooling.
So basically it’s just everyone come out together, they eat, we talk and I take photos. =) Nothing much, just to say bye bye. I can’t imagine if I leave my friends and family, it will be very very very the sad I guess.
National Service need to have a bald head, so Liang Sun was prepared for it. Some people prefer to have their hair cut at the camp.
See you Liang Sun in 3 months time, perhaps during homecoming when Chinese New Year!
Ok, good night for now.
Yes yes, it’s again, we went to Red Box karaoke after the last paper of SPM examination of 2009. That’s what I usually do after finishing a school examination. This is a very standard stuff and why Red Box? Because in Penang, there’s only Red Box karaoke and I just get to know that Neway Karaoke will be opening soon at Queensbay Mall soon.
Jing Min playing with the Red Box people.
Our Chinese paper finished at 12.45pm that day, I went home to bath and got ready, then to Red Box with everyone. We were not the first SPM finisher, because fifth former who didn’t take Chinese paper had finished their SPM earlier.
Chai Wei, Vivian, Shan and Sheue Yen.
We have got the biggest room in Red Box which can have up to 20-25 people in the room and we have only got like 13 people.
Lek Jian, Me, Theresa, Hui Mei, Liang Sun.
It’s not only us that went to Red Box, many people went there too on that day and I believe most of them are same like me, just finished their SPM, taking a break.
Priscilla.
It’s not too many people in the room, it’s too many people came to Red Box on that day, people came in and our, “hi and bye”, very hard to communicate and interact with everyone.
Lek Jian, Valen, Jia Wei, Yi Jun and me.
Most important are still did I sing or not? Yes I did and enjoyed the singing, a lot. The Penang’s Plurkers had a room there too, I went there to say hi, sang a few songs and went back to my place. Hard to be at multiplace. I wish I can divide my body. Haha.

Karaoke finished, I went home. Marked the end of SPM, the end of Form 5 life. That’s fast.
I am kind of back to Leo Club activities after being hiatus for many many months because of very stressful SPM examination. Although I’ve been retired from the post of First Vice President of the club, yet I still enjoy their activities and outings.
Boon Yan, the co-organizer.
I was in the Leo Club of Chung Ling High School, my name is still in their name list and I will be moving to a new Leo Club which is for those above 18 years old. Anyhow, I still like my old Leo Club of Chung Ling High School, all of the juniors are friendly and funny.
Me with the Japanese Youth Exchange student and Chien Ming.
Talking back about the recent activity that happened on the Christmas week, the Leo Clubs organized a Christmas visit to an old folks home far away in Relau, the name is Rumah Charis.
I went there once early last last year but that time was on a chartered bus and this time I was on my own. I tried to Google Maps the place but I can’t find it. So with a little image left in my mind, I tried to feel my way around when I am at Relau. It’s actually not very hard to go afterall and the Google Maps need to be updated.
Tict Chyn.
Stanley.
We have got our in-house santa class and santa girl with us that day, they gave out little kids to the elderly and keep saying “Hohoho, Merry Christmas”, that’s the only thing they said.
We also have our in-house beatboxer, Wallace who is only 17 years old and can beatbox like pro. Very cool.
We sang Christmas song, prepared some food for their tea time and had some entertaining games for them. The games were like mini bowling with bottles and a ball and puzzle games.
Wan Pei’s cool poses.
Washing the plates.
I wonder did our visit does good for them or not. They are probably been dumped by their family at there, looking at their face, it looked like they have not been visited by people for a long time too. Our visit may made them miss home. Hope they had fun. =D
2 days before Christmas, I went to Auto City at night to support the Leo Club of Penang Chinese Girls High School on their Christmas Charity Concert. It’s my first time driving to the mainland across the Penang bridge then on highway for 5 minutes to reach Auto City, it’s fun. For all the while, I only drive in the island. From the island to Auto City is very near only actually, it’s approximately 30-35 minutes drive from my place at Gurney Drive.
Jocelyn and Wallace.
This concert is a charity one, admission was free and they were raising fund for an orphanage home in Butterworth. The kids were there to see the concert too. The fund was raised by donation and the selling of some items like keychains, christmas hat, t-shirts and other little stuff. Since I am Leo Club member, I did help out a bit on the sales too.
There’s Santa Claus appearance and some performance like young rock band Past Time and Tragedies who are like only 15 years old, then a very LOL magic show and dance performance. Eunice who dance brought her whole dance team there to do a few dances.
Wan Pei and Corrinne.
Gini.
There’s a lot of Christmas songs that night, I didn’t know what was I doing around, I keep walking around and not sit down to watch the show. Most of the songs were leaded by their in-house young singer, Gini, who was the champion of Penang’s Leo Idol competition.
There’s chair in front of the stage and good to see most of the chairs were filled up. The fun thing about the chair is that it’s not normal chair, it’s beach chair, chairs that normally use on the beach which is nice for lying down. It’s so relaxing for the people down there who got a seat.
In between the concert, I went to roam around the place and did lame stuff like sitting in the kid aeroplane thing. With a 50 cents coin, the thing moved for like 1 minutes with music. =D I wonder does anyone get on it or not, or only us?
Lions (Lions Club) went crazy.
Cool Fujifilm Instax in action.
Look what I’ve found! Writings and drawings!
Organized by Wan Pei, the thing was pretty good with people coming by and venue sponsored by Auto City.
Me with Min Xiang, Kok Sheng and Tee Jin.

I Love Yng Shn Dot Blogspot Dot Com.

Very cool Lion Ong Lai.

Happy New Year! =)
