20th Birthday Eat Cake & Lovely Coffee @ Starbucks Coffee

20th Birthday Eat Cake & Lovely Coffee @ Starbucks Coffee – Do you know last last Monday was my birthday? Hohoho. I didn’t get any chance to post the photos up about my birthday because my blog was hacked by some stupid Russian. They just did it for fun, inject some malicious code into my server, the redirect all my visitor to some other side. It was a hard time for me to restore and clear everything. Now, Google has finally un-blacklist me so I can post anything I like.

OK, back to birthday. The night before 16th July, I went to Starbucks Coffee for a sit, dear Hueisean treated me a slice of Marble Cheese Cake, as she said birthday must has at least a piece of cake as tradition. That’s cool.

Surprisingly, she ordered another cup of hot chocolate with a heart-shape drawn on top. Awhhh, that’s so sweet of her. Thank you my dear.

Well, as year grows older, birthday is not so fancy as before. I don’t really like big birthday party, I just treat it as a simple and happy day for me, perhaps some awesome meal, and present for myself. =D I am 2o years, young now.

Poster, Steamboat & Beach Street For Arron & Chien Chern

Poster, Steamboat & Beach Street For Arron & Chien Chern – The two familiar name – Arron & Chien Chern once again appeared on my blog. Haha. Arron & Chien Chern, both are my best buddy who are flying off soon, one to India and another to Liverpool, UK. Main subject of the post is Arron as he is flying off real soon and secondly, we just celebrated Chien Chern’s birthday, last night on Beach Street – very randomly.

I don’t know where to start with. Two days ago, I went to PIK NIK CAFE to meet up with Arron, Simon, Chien Chern, Raykee and Liang Sun to give out a big piece of poster as a memory for him as he is going off to India for further studies. What’s worst with India is he has to be there for the next 5 years. WOW. Ok, so I printed a collage photos of him for him. (I want to complain that printing in Penang is freaking expensive! KL is 60% cheaper for the same size. SUCKS.)

Then yesterday, we went to steamboat get-together at the Town Steamboat House, which we used to get-together a few years back. Price has increased from RM19.90 to RM22.90. Soup taste is getting lousier, it’s not as fun as before and it was oily hot!

After steamboat, Beach Street was our next destination. Chilling out at Logan Cruise Steak House with in-house special beverage. At 12am, we just sang birthday song and talk crap by the road side. So, farewell Arron, and Chien Chern and all. It seems like many people are going elsewhere, and I’m gonna stay here in Malaysia. Do you think Malaysia is a good place to live in the next 1o years? I have to consider that after this coming general election.

Johor Premium Outlets

Johor Premium Outlets – I believe many of you have heard before the Johor Premium Oulets at Kulai, Johor which sells designer’s brand product at a discount rate everyday. I’ve finally visited the place few weeks ago and bought stuff too!

Well, it’s located at Kulai, Johor, very near to Singapore’s Second Link and Senai Airport, about 40 minutes from Johor Bahru City Centre. It’s pretty sub-urban, there’s nothing around the JPO. Surprisingly, I saw many cars and tour bus at there.

I was pretty excited when I see the brands at there. Brother told me that the Johor Premium Outlets is exactly the same with the one in the USA. Cool right? However, he said that the retail outlet size here is smaller. Nevertheless, it’s still a cool place to explore and shop.

Looking at the products, I’ve got to say most of them are old stock. The price, some (not all) are at great discount. I’ve bought a Ralph Lauren Polo there, the price was a lot cheaper than the standard retail in shopping malls. It’s pretty hard to tell you whether the stuffs there are good buy or not, you have to visit it on your own. It’s a worth visit, something different from shopping at the mall. =)

Quiet Seremban Town

Quiet Seremban Town – Two weeks ago, I drove all the way to Singapore with my family. It was lunch time and we passed by Seremban, wanting to go into the little town to look for lunch. It’s actually my second time visiting Seremban. We went there before few years ago but couldn’t find any good food and this time, we went there to have a try again.

I’ve heard that there has good Hakka Mee @ Tou Kee, I followed the GPS to the place. Unfortunately it’s not opened. We tried to look for other food around the town but still there’s nothing look interesting and most of the shops were closed, on a Friday afternoon. I wonder why the town is so quiet during a weekday?

Seremban is really very small and under-develop in my opinion. Anyone from there or know about there would like to introduce some nice good eating place? =D

Tropfest Penang 2012

Tropfest Penang 2012 – Went to Tropfest – The World’s Largest Short Film Festival which was also the last event of the month-long George Town Festival 2012. It’s my first time checking out a ‘film festival’ and also watching film at the outdoor, so close the nature. It was held at the Quarry Park of Penang’s Botanical Garden. Seating were on the nature grass floor.

It’s a good experience, together with few hundreds people watching the professional short film from around the world. I thought it’s a projector screen but instead it was a very huge LED screen.

Tropfest was actually originated from Australia, where filmmaker showcases shortfilm in a small gathering in a cafe named Tropicana Cafe, sooner it’d became a annual festival for short filmmaker around the world, becoming Tropfest of today. If you’ve missed it nevermind, you can check it out again next year at this month.

Singapore City Night View From Marina Bay Sands

Singapore City Night View From Marina Bay Sands & Louis Vuitton Island Maison – I was in Singapore two weeks ago and that time, I’ve my tripod and camera with me! Unfortunately, I’ve forgotten to bring my wide-angle lens. AIYA! Anyway, it’s still good that I can set on slow shutter speed and put it on tripod, and shoot a few cool Singapore night scene.

I’ve got to say that Singapore’s cityscape is really very awesome, comparable to Hong Kong, Shanghai and other big city already. Malaysia? Sorry, I don’t find a similar good one. The buildings in Malaysia are so spread out far away.

The nicest spot to see Singapore’s city is from Marina Bay Sands, the bay front area near the Louis Vuitton Island Maison. The view is just simply splendid. The photo would be perfect if I’ve bought along my wide angle, but nevermind, Singapore is like just an hour flight away.

The Louis Vuitton Island Maison is very very cool. The whole glass island structure specially dedicated to Louis Vuitton sports a retail showroom and museum gallery of Louis Vuitton products. Man! It’s just so awesome! Feeling jealous of Singapore already.

Chinese Opera At Kuan Yim Teng

Chinese Opera At Kuan Yim Teng (Goddess Of Mercy Temple) – Came back to Penang feels so good, it’s so much colourful and culture-ful when compare to the fast moving city of Kuala Lumpur. Just a few days ago, I was driving around the little city of George Town, passed by the Goddess Of Mercy Temple at Pitt Street and found that there’s a Chinese opera was going on.

Chinese opera often plays during some religious month of the Goddess. I am not sure about what was it about but I just find it interesting. I parked my car, went to do some prayers and snap a few photos of the Chinese opera set up right in front of the temple.

I wasn’t very sure about the dialogue, just understand like half-half. If there’s subtitle, it would be great. =D The opera team came all the way from Muar, Johor.

Searching For Sunset At Permatang Damar Laut

Searching For Sunset At Permatang Damar Laut – I went looking for a nice sunset at Permatang Damar Laut, Batu Maung there because I’ve seen before some nice sunset photos taken at there and some photographer friends told me that it’s a good location. Unfortunately, the sky was not blue enough and the worst was the sun was not setting at the location it supposed to be. Maybe because it’s Summer time that the sun slanted a bit? No idea. Anyway, it seems to be a good place and I will come back some other day when the sky is really clear.

Penang Bridge 2 In Progress

Penang Bridge 2 In Progress – Hello people, sorry for being away for so long, life is just so busy with school and my blog actually got hacked but some stupid people recently and now what you are seeing is a new theme for my blog. Well, guess where am I, I am back to my lovely hometown – Penang!

Gonna enjoy this short 3 weeks holiday to the max in this city, find all my friends, spend time with girlfriend, family and explore more new stuff in Penang!

Today, I was cruising along Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Highway to Batu Maung and spotted the Penang Second Bridge in progress, parked the car by the roadside and went to check it out. It looks very magnificent and is looking forward towards its completion.

It’s gonna be the longest bridge in South East Asia but sad that there’s one have to pay toll to cross that bridge. Since it’s long, you are gonna burn more fuel too. HAHA. How I wish there’s a undersea tunnel on the other end of the Penang island. One more thing, it’s expected to complete in November 2013, long way to go!

‘Boy On Motorbike’ 3D Wall Mural At Lebuh Ah Quee

‘Boy On Motorbike’ 3D Wall Mural At Lebuh Ah Quee by Ernest Zacharevic – The famous painter artist in Penang who did the scary kung fu girl, the 3D bicycle brother and sister and more wall mural has did one latest mural again at Lebuh Ah Quee, just a street next to Armenian Street which features a young boy painted on the wall riding on a real motorcycle mounted to the wooden door.

Cool right? I didn’t get a chance to take closer photo of it cause I was just passing by that place. I’ve read that there’s another nice mural at Chew Jetty by Ernest too! Unfortunately, I don’t have much time to explore around as I only back to Penang for a short weekend, moreover it’s more likely a business return-home trip to me. Next holiday, I’m gonna go explore all the cool street wall art of George Town!
