St Anne’s Church At Bukit Mertajam Is Cool

It’s a 20 minutes drive from Penang Bridge to reach St Anne’s Sanctuary or simply known as the St Anne’s Church. I have been hearing from people saying that this church is nice, this church is cool, this church is huge, this church is old and I only saw it from photos and finally I got a chance to visit it.

Actually I have nothing to do in Penang, no school, no work, and so went visiting church. Haha. But I have a thing for holy places one because they are beautiful!

The afternoon was quiet. Probably there’s no service on that day and church is always open for prayers. Apologize first if I write something wrong because I don’t really know about Christian and church. =)

At first glance, the place is huge! The little church standing above is not the main one, there’s even a bigger one at the other side and there’s like a place where we can up, like a little park on foot hill. I have no idea how to describe it. Haha.

When I saw the place, I was like “Wow, there’s actually something like this.” Pretty cool, I never see churches that big before, it’s not like those western one with very awesome design, it’s pretty but not very complicated, but the whole place is huge, with trees and super mini hiking trail which I called.

It gave me a feeling of peacefulness and nature. Rocks.

There’s the St. Anne’s Water. I want to ask what’s that? Is it holy water?

The church is huge! Next stop, we went to the Nine Emperor God Temple at Raja Uda, we almost lost while going there, so do come back and check it out soon. =) One more thing, they say it’s very happenings during St. Anne’s Annual Novena & Feast Day Celebration, from 23 July 2010 to 01 August 2010, it’s a day before I leave Penang, so maybe I could go check it out? =)

We Went to Bukit Mertajam

We went to Province Wellesley on Tuesday’s afternoon. Where’s Province Wellesley? It’s Seberang Perai, the mainland of Penang. =D It’s the English name, but to most Penang island people, I guess they would just call it Butterworth. My days in Penang still left not many days only and I am very free everyday, have nothing to do, it’s either spending time sleeping at home or going out to explore things that haven’t been explored.

Was on the phone with Sean last night and she talked about St. Anne’s Church which then gave me an idea where to go. =D I have wanted to go check it out a long time already as people told me it’s a very nice place and feel curious. I also have a thing for holy place, like temples, churches, they have nice architecture. =)

Chien Chern.

Tee Jin.

Yiphing. All was like so busy.

It was on a road trip, there’s me, Chien Chern who was the driver, Yiphing and Tee Jin. Four of us only, many friends were in school or already leaved Penang. So sad.

We didn’t really know the place and how to go. I only checked it and mark it on Google Maps and the Google Maps brought us there. Sometimes must say hate Google Maps a bit because it will bring us to a rural place just to get away from toll and shortcut. But this trip to St Anne’s Church was safe. I’ll talk about it in another post as we eventually went into same kampung and paddy field while going to Nine Emperor God temple.

Alright, Bukit Mertajam is where St Anne’s Church is and I always thought BM is near to Butterworth or Seberang Jaya or anywhere in Province Wellesley but actually they are not, they are far!

This building is like so creepy and fugly!

First time coming here, there’s no high rise building, it’s all shop houses, bungalows, or the highest is like 3-4 floors. It’s a suburb and not a big town like us in Penang, and the road are small too.

Reached St Anne’s Church safely. Stay tune for next post! =)

My Aunty’s Gallstone Specimen

Explicit content. =D Some may find the following image disgusting.

My aunty were admitted into the hospital lately and hope that she’s doing well right now. She thought of having stomach problem but actually it’s the gallstone that’s troubling her and bringing her pain. Now she has no gall bladder, which is no good for the body. Anyway, get well soon and stay healthy, Aunt Patsy!

Imagine something really hard grow inside your body. It’s so OMG. Size of almost a golf ball and hard like a rock. WTF? How can something so hard grow in the body. It’s scary a big.

Eat more fruits and exercise more to be healthy. Closer look after the break.

Away to PLKN (Day 69): SPM 09 Celebration At Red KTV and Bistro

Really want to thank Ker Ying for introducing this place to me and I like it. It’s RED KTV and Bistro at Belissa Row. You sing, you drink and you play. It’s fun. Although you don’t get a room for yourself like at Red Box, but it’s still fun because you get to hear other people sing. Only sometimes, when there’s many people at RED, you will have to wait a little while longer only get to sing.

That night, after school, after Gurney Plaza, we went to RED to sing and drink, as a celebration for getting SPM result. My result was NOT-BAD only, so it’s not good yet but still I wanted to celebrate for getting the result and no more waiting. You know, waiting for the result is saddening and uncomfortable.

3 months of waiting, played a lot and felt slacking and lazy so much. Shit that I’ve forgotten stuff that I had learned in high school before. Gonna stop all the slacking and go back to school soon, but it will be in end of July, still got very the long time.

Arron, Zhao Wei and Chen Yuen.

Jia Rong, Andy hiding, and Arron. Arron was so high that night.

There’s me, Arron, Chien Chern, Yiphing, Chen Yuen and Sher Reen. RED was not quiet that night, we also met other friends like Zhao Wei, Elaine, Angellyn, Andy, Alvin, Jia Rong, Wallace, Ying Ting and more! Real fun.

We also met a RED KTV fans, who asked us to join RED’s fans page in Facebook. Till now I still couldn’t find the page, anyone know?

Fun night we had at there. Just scream too much until no sound.

Away to PLKN (Day 65): Lomo and Fisheye

One sad thing, I lost my Diana F+ kit plastic lens and now I only left with the fish eye lens, so my Diana F+ serve as my lomo fish eye camera. Here’s some shot.

Love the Ikea table lamp.

My workstation. Haha.

Junction to Gurney Drive. It’s Sunrise building at the back.

Myself inside the room. Cannot see anything also. Dark.

Away to PLKN (Day 63): Chen Yuen/Raykee’s 18 Birthday at Tao, Autocity

On Chen Yuen a.k.a. Raykee 18th birthday, he invited me and them to Tao at Autocity. He invited us but the driver for that day was Arron. He drove his 7-seater Naza to drive everyone go. Oh yeah. The attendees for the birthday night at Tao was me, Arron, Raykee himself, Chien Chern, Zez Chien, Yiphing, Sher Reen, and Jane.

Everyone dress up very smart and pretty that night. I like that feel. From Penang Island, passes the bridge to Autocity is not very far only, it’s 20 minutes drive from the bridge. Near and I love Autocity. There’s many nice restaurant.

Tao is a Japanese restaurant that has ala-carte buffet style dinner. We need not to take our food, we just ordered and eat-all-we-can for just a price. RM50++. The place was pretty crowded on a Thursday night, luckily we reserved a place or else no place to sit already.

One funny thing that day was we keep discussing whether to go to Tao at E-Gate or Tao at Autocity and I kept calling the place to change the reservation. In the end, we picked Tao at Autocity.

It’s my first time going to Tao, Autocity. I have went to Tao at E-Gate a few times already and I found this place rocks. The Autocity’s has a better interior design and the atmosphere is nice. Our place needed us to take off our shoes like the Japanese does.

It’s eat-all-we-can and so we kept ordering. The girls didn’t eat much though, guess they have a little tummy. We were there from 7pm till 10pm. Really very long.

At some part of the dinner, I dropped my phone somewhere, I was so nervous and luckily Jane found it and Yiphing kept it. Woah, I really must be more careful already.

Present giving time:

Group shot time:

Forgot to mention the waiter, Alan was really very friendly. Good job.

Away to PLKN (Day 62): Morning and Afternoon to Dim Sum and Gurney Plaza

It’s Aw Raykee’s birthday! Two months ago, which happened on 18th March 2010. Raykee is Chen Yuen, Chen Yuen is Raykee. Cool Christian name he had there. Mom and dad was away on this day so I was alone and free to go anywhere. Haha.

On that morning, we went to our favourite dim sum place which is the Dim Sum House at Anson Road to had our breakfast.

There’s the MAGNIFICENT SIX, me, Chien Chern, Chen Yuen, Arron and Yiphing. We ate and talk. Didn’t feel like eating a lot that morning, no idea why. Then we went to play Left 4 Dead 2 at FTZ Cyber Cafe. FYI, that was the first time of me playing Left 4 Dead and learnt how to create a room.

There’s one time wanted to play the game but no idea how to create a room. Really noob. Haha.

After that we went to Gurney Plaza. We actually wanted to catch a movie but the queue was so damn long, hate it and so we decided not to watch already. We just walked around and went to eat our afternoon tea at there. Then we also met some friends too.

It’s school holiday, so could see many people at the mall.

Then I brought Chen Yuen to Top Shop to pick up a shirt for night’s birthday dinner at Autocity. Pretty cool, only then we went home to rest and prepare for night. Yeah.
