Short Tour of Penang National Park with NS Friends

2 weeks ago, on a Sunday, it’s also the third day of a Penang trip with friends from NS (PLKN), some went home and some were still in Penang and so I brought them to National Park to take a short walk and lookaround.

Do you know that Penang has a National Park and it’s the smallest in Malaysia? Many people still don’t now. =D It’s at Teluk Bahang following the trail in National Park will lead you to Pantai Kerachut, Muka Head and Monkey Beach, the 3 main attractions there.

We registered ourselves at the counter and started walking into the park. We just walked a little bit to the beach only because we were not prepared for hiking trail, it’s just show them there’s a national park in Penang. ^.^

Chuan.

Weng.

Khang.

Tzou Xiong.

There’s Sumay and me from Penang island, Khang, Chuan and Weng from Penang mainland, Tzou Xiong from Perak and Tracy and Will from Pangkor Island . =D

It’s low tide so we could go down the beach at there. The beach was not pretty because there’s no ivory soft golden sand. It’s hard.

It’s pretty warm at that time, close to sunset, but it’s still fun.

Sumay and Tracy.

Before I go to KL to study, I want to go Monkey Beach once. This place is fun!

604 Outing With The Girls

Wan Theng and Shan Shan.

4 of June, Wantheng asked me out for a movie, the movie was Nightmare On Elmstreet and it was pretty old movie by then because it’s already started screening in the cinema for like few weeks ago. Since it had been quite a long time didn’t meet her already and I was so free, so went out together to the cinema. There’s Wan Theng, Shan Shan, Jia Ying, Chai Wei, Priscilla and her friend Man Yin, 4 out of 6 were tuition friends, and the other two were friend’s friend.

Movie was at Prangin Mall’s Cathay Cineplex. Still remember last time during high school, I always go there to watch movie after school, or go there to watch above 18 movie because there’s no check. It was last time and now, Cathay Cineplex is like a last resort to me, because I still prefer GSC afterall.

Priscilla.

After that was meal at Shua Shua Le, also a restaurant that I would normally go after school last time. Now seldom go because I seldom or not take the public bus already. Because last time come back from school by public bus, the bus will stop at Prangin Mall, then I have to make an interchange to other bus to go home. So while making the change, will go to the mall to eat and movie first before going home. Pretty fun. High school rocks.

Wan Theng, Chai Wei, Shan Shan, Jia Ying.

Shan Shan said, “Happy 604!”.

Free Photo At Switch World, Gurney Plaza

Switch World is a yearly event held by Switch, an Apple Premium Reseller here in Penang. Last time I always go check it out but now I don’t already because it’s just taking the whole Apple store out into a big place to show people what Apple has. I am an Apple fanboy and I think I know quite a lot about Apple already.

I was at Gurney Plaza during Switch World few weeks ago so I dropped by to check it out anything special. End out, I found an external battery pack for my Google Nexus One, and I bought it up. =D Upon buying anything there, we got a free photoshoot and photo printout. Pretty cool.

Every year, there will be a Mini Cooper, no idea why. But it’s cool.

Many people don’t know Mac being brain washed at there too. There’s a way to tell people that Mac doesn’t lag, that is they will open a lot of folder and tell you, “see, no lag”, actually opening folder will not lag a computer. Haha.

I bought something and there’s 5 of us, me, Qonstance, Sumay, Hueisean and Tzou Xiong, and we went to free shoot at there. Free edit, free soft copy and a free print out. =D

So fun, but the person who edit our photo talked a lot, a little bit too much because I knew quite a lot about the software and he assumed we didn’t know. OMG. Nevermind, still we get free printout! =)

Qonstance keep saying “Aiyerrr, so sweeeeeetttttt.” =D Really sweet. Nice one, people.

Found A Beach Near Queensbay

We as in Wei Jun, Sumay and me were going back home already from Queensbay, but decided to take a longer route to go home and accidentally, I found a beach near Queensbay. The shore is not very long, there’s still little bit of sand, with Penang Bridge view, it’s pretty cool. So I decided to go down and take a walk, for fun!

It was 7pm, the sky was getting dark already and the weather was warm! So we didn’t stay long at there.

Shoot shoot, be crazy, then we went home and I jammed in the traffic for almost one hour! Now I only know Penang also can be so jam, the jammed place was Bayan Lepas area.

Queensbay Mall With Sumay, Mei Yen and Wei Jun

Two days ago, Thursday, I was bored and I went to watch movie at Queensbay Mall and walk walk. I didn’t feel like going to Gurney which is near to my place so I went to Queensbay Mall. Called a few people out but in the end it was 2 girls with me, Mei Yen and Sumay, then Wei Jun came to join us after the movie.

We watched The Haunting Lover, it was a Hong Kong horror romance film but somehow seems boring to us and it’s not scary and sweet to me. Though the cinema was full! I wanted to watch Karate Kid, but Wei Jun and Mei Yen has already watched it already. Forgot to mention, Wei Jun, Sumay and Mei Yen were friends I made in NS. =)

Because we were pretty late, the queue was long, and we didn’t get a nice seat in the cinema. Though, it’s still a lot better than to be on the first row. You know, sitting on the first row closest to the screen sucks a lot.

After movie, Mei Yen went back. Then it was me, Sumay and Wei Jun came to find us. Walked around the mall and met Ker Ying at there. Wanted to buy a 480ml tall water bottle at Muji-liked store, Material at RM29, but it’s out of stock. Too bad, I safe back my money. Material does sells nice stuff but I don’t like them copying Muji. >.<

Then we saw some cool stuff at the centre atrium of Queensbay Mall. There’s the Toy’s Story 3 roadshow and 3D LED TV demo. We went in the 3D TV thing to check it out, it was by Samsung. After wearing a 3D glasses, wow, the cartoon became 3D, pretty cool. 3D maybe the next big thing, but we need to have a lot of glasses if we have a lot of family members at home and it will look a little bit LOL when it’s TV time, glasses must be on, that’s the future high tech stuff.

After demo-ing, there’s the Toy’s Story character around the place for people to take photo with. You know, they’re very funny because the toy soldier were really good, they really didn’t move or smile to let people to take pictures with. I tried to make them smile, but they were strong, trying hard not to laugh or smile. Haha.

Sumay, me, Wei Jun.

Photo finish, we went back. No, we stopped by the beach for a while. =D Why no Mei Yen’s photo? Because she came here for movie then went back straight away already, no chance.

Dinner at Sri Ananda Tanjung Bungah

That day, after going to Red Box and mirror shoot and movie at Gurney Plaza, we went to dinner together at Tanjung Bungah, it’s Indian food. Zheng Feng did not join us but instead, Yiphing and Vivian came to join us. Woo.

Sweet couple.

The dinner was so full, I ordered something call Chicken don’t know what Pratta. It’s like roti canai chopped into pieces mixed with chicken and lots of onion. Very full after the meal because I had bak zhang before going to Sri Ananda as the next day was Bak Zhang Festival.

Me, Chien Chern, Zez Chien, Cheong Kin and Arron.

Yiphing and Vivian.

We just eat and talk at there. After that, they came to my place to watch Switzerland versus Spain. Very LOL match because Spain did not score. Switzerland defend until very hard. Wow.

Red Box Lunch With A Little Bit Of 4SA5/08 Buddies

Still remember last time, when I was in class 4SA5, 2008, we would go to Red Box karaoke together almost once a month after school on Friday. Going to karaoke or the shopping mall was like already became a routine for us as things to do after finishing our exam or test.

We went in a big group like 10-15 peoples, and slowly, now, there’s only 6 of us in the karaoke room few days ago. After graduation, everyone busy with their stuff already. I miss 4SA5, seriously.

Arron was the one who called us out that day. 6 turned up was actually not bad already, there’s me, Chien Chern, Arron himself, Zheng Feng, Cheong Kin and Zez Chien. Arron is going off soon, going to Sepang to study and so leaving us here, and this would be our KTV farewell together. I don’t like the feeling of farewell and say bye bye, it’s not a happy thing. I don’t want, but soon it would be my turn to leave Penang also. =(

There’s lunch for us too, but it’s more likely a breakfast to me because I woke up, bath and straight away went there already, I didn’t eat my breakfast at home. The first person to arrive was Arron and next was me, so I wasn’t very late too which I thought I was late because we were supposed to meet at 11, but I was there at around quarter pass eleven already. Hehe.

Not a good singing day for me because after coming back from the recent Penang trip with National Service friends, I fell sick a little bit, I had a little bit of coughing and runny nose, caught a cold, but it’s getting better now, thanks to drinking lots and lots and lots of water.

Though, I did sing also, but not many, and not super high. Breakfast and see them happy would be my main reason of being there. I love outing together, really miss the day back in Form 4, really crazy.

The karaoke and breakfast session was not very expensive, it’s only RM11.50 per person which include the food and drinks. ^.^ We finished at 2pm.

The last part of us was seeing friendship related songs together. Awhhh, we must keep in touch, and appreciate your friends now!

Me, Zheng Feng, Chien Chern, Cheong Kin, Arron, Zez Chen.

After Red Box, we went for lunch then to cinema watch The Killers, kinda funny, lame, pointless, but enjoyed it! =)

Last weekend, before going back to my National Service camp, at Kem PLKN White Resort Balik Pulau, my NS friends came over to my place for a while. Then they spotted a Mac and I opened the Photo Booth application. Undeniable that this is my favourite and most most fun apps on the Mac.

Went To Pray And Met Frank, Edwin and Kin You on Wesak Day

I woke up kinda late on this year’s Wesak Day and it was almost noon when I woke up. I didn’t join mom to go do the Wesak Day prayer at Phor Tay High School in the morning because I was sleeping, forgotten what I was doing the night before which made me wake up so late. Instead I went to the temple myself, alone. The praying, the bathing of little Buddha statue during Wesak Day is a standard thing to do for Buddhist.

Although I am not a very religious person, but seems I am free and it’s nothing bad to believe in God, so why not? Before prayer, I went to Qing Huang Tea House to meet up with school mate and also friends from the National Service. Two of them have already knew them before and Frank Ooi is a new friend. The two person was Kin You and Edwin.

Frank Ooi.

Edwin aka Chin Lai.

Kin You.

I didn’t want to spend my afternoon at home so I went to meet up with them, joined them for lunch and talk. Else it would be pretty boring a bit. Everyone was at home that day because it’s Wesak Day and people scared of traffic jam as there’s a Wesak Day prossesion and parade at night in town.

Me, Edwin and Frank would be there at the Wesak Day procession too. So after lunch and talk cock, we went home to rest. I was thinking about going to the Wesak Day place to do my prayer so it would be 2 in one stuff, I no need go here and there, but I thought about it, since I still have time, might as well just go to the temple to do it first and at night to enjoy the procession together. =D

It’s the same place every year, in the Buddha hall in Phor Tay High School, near to my house. The different was that I went there alone. Phor Tay High School is a Buddhism centered school, so there’s temple inside in case you guys wondered.

Joss stick symbolized holy. And no idea why need to bath the little Buddha. Enlighten me please. I only know it’s something people do during Wesak Day.

Wesak Day, what did you do? =)
