    Friday Afternoon On Penang Bridge

    Friday Afternoon On Penang Bridge – I am not a frequent user of the Penang Bridge which connects the Penang Island and the mainland – Seberang Perai (or less known as Province Wellesley). Have been away to study in Klang Valley, only now I realised that the traffic congestion in Penang is getting as worst as like in Kuala Lumpur, Klang Valley.

    #2. Boring weather.

    #3. Slow moving at entrance road of the bridge.

    Penang Bridge get congested everyday in the morning and during 5pm-7pm where workers are going back home to the mainland, it gets even more congested on Friday with the additional of students and people who are from the mainland.

    #4. Soon, when The Light, the new town in Penang is open, more and more people will come to Penang.

    Yesterday was just a typical Friday to me, but the traffic get slowed, not congested yet at about 5pm. Travel time extend 9 minutes to 20 minutes from the normal 11 minutes on the bridge and the traffic started to build up by then.

    I’ve heard that it takes an hour to pass through the bridge during the peak hour. Hopefully the new Penang Bridge link 2 opening next year will solve part of the congestion and I truly support the build of the 3rd link which is a sea tunnel conecting Gurney Drive and Butterworth. Nevertheless, the state government must look into public transportation system too to reduce the vehicles on the road.

  • Walk Around Bukit Bintang and Uniqlo on an Early Friday Morning

    Walk Around Bukit Bintang and Uniqlo on an Early Friday Morning

    Last Friday, I went to town alone early in the morning to send my dropped-super-damaged-Tamron-lens to the service centre (Futoromic) at Berjaya Times Square. I didn’t want to go back to Penang to send back to the original shop that I bought my lens because they will eventually send to KL again. Since I am in KL right now so I might as well send in directly to the service centre.

    So what happened to my lens? I dropped to the ground from my height and cannot focus, cannot turn, and got crack. Haha. They called and the fixing charges is around RM450. Still better than getting a new lens. =) Now is waiting to go collect my lens.

    Haven’t been to Times Square for quite some time. It’s not really a good shopping mall. Selling stuff like Sungei Wang or Prangin Mall in Penang. The indoor theme park is still on, heard a little bit of scream but doesn’t fancy me anymore because I have been in there when it was first opened many years back.

    After sending the stuff to service. It was still early and it’s like only 11 in the morning. I decided not to go back so early but go check out the newly open Uniqlo at Fahrenheit 88. People have been talking about it for the past few weeks. Heard that there were super duper long queue during opening. What for?

    There’s a new broadband/mobile network in town, using the 4G spectrum and it’s YES by YTL. Finally a rival to P1. They have put up a large LED cube at Bukit Bintang, outside Lot10 and I tell it’s really very cool. It’s to promote their broadband. But somehow, IMO, I still prefer a cable/copperline Internet because wireless Internet is never as stable as a cable one. Wireless broadband is only an alternative to those who couldn’t get cable to their home.

    Did you sign up for YES?

    A little bit of walk, from Berjaya Times Square, I reached Uniqlo.

    There’s promotion on jeans and t-shirt. RM50 for jeans and RM30 for t-shirt which are quite cheap. I didn’t want to buy the jeans because I am going for more like Skiny or Slim-cut. It’s more fitting. Though, I bought t-shirts at there! Hehe. Do you know that the Kuala Lumpur’s Uniqlo is the largest currently outside Japan? It has 3 floors. =) From Wikipedia one.

    After shopping, finally willing to go back already. I am having final exam now. Good luck to me and also to all those who are having exam right now, especially my junior who are taking SPM.

  • KTV, Cards and Talk at Martini Cafe

    KTV, Cards and Talk at Martini Cafe

    Last Friday, there’s actually a gathering at Kayu Nasi Kandar at Bukit Jambul but it was late and raining, and Kayu Nasi Kandar is like 30 minutes away from home so I decided not to go there. And at almost late night, Yiphing asked me out to Martini Cafe near Gurney Drive, somewhere like 5 minutes away from my house only, so I went. =)

    Never been there before, I thought the place is just like a normal cafe for drinks, alcohol and some football TV but there’s more. There’s KTV there, LCD screens, mic and we can sing like at RED KTV, except with food and more choice of drink, unlike RED has only alcohol.

    Jick!

    And another thing is, there’s less TV and more table, singing took a long time only reach our table and the sound system was not pro enough, though I still like karaok-ing. Singing is my hobby although my singing sucks. Who can teach me how to sing properly? T.T

    Shan Shan.

    Well, people there were Shan Shan, Yee Ling, Eunice, Jick, Yiphing and me. They are TAR College gang except me and Yiphing. I has no gang because I am still not in college yet. Simply mix around now. Haha.
