My friend Jin Xin is really good in designing and recently just started up his own self-designed printed tee hobby. It’s just as interest and past-time for him to make printed tee and the blog shop/blog catalog just launched a day ago. So I am here to help him promote his latest design, Brain Disposal tee. Support support what.
Zuan Fu is the model. =D
Selling for only RM20, not expensive. More designs are coming soon. Check out Reflux92’s blog shop now.
I am going to talk about my recent part-time job at Queensbay Mall few weeks back again. I know working part-time is very normal and common thing, but I am a little bit crazy, took photos and like talking very big about my job. Actually it’s just for a little memories of mine, at least I did go to work during this long 3-4 months holidays. There will be a part-time for me again this weekend, not at Queensbay Mall but at Gurney Plaza.
My job was promoter and assistant event organizer, I was not dealer, people can’t sign line through me, I only promote and bring them to the dealer. So basically my job was standing and giving out flyers and taking care of the customer service counter. Very interesting thing is that Maxis, the rival’s booth was not far away.
On these 3 days of work, I met many friends, and also made new friends at work. To be honest, time passes very slow but yet, it’s already passed. =) Money money come.
Lunch break and dinner break was always the 3 same place, Ultimaxx Cafe, Chopper Board and Breeks Cafe. RM4-7 per meal. There’s a rule that I can’t go for break in pairs, but luckily for the 3 days, I found friends at the mall to eat together with.
Working there burns calories because I stand a lot, standing, standing and keep standing, for more than 9 hours. Morning till night. Not that bad afterall, at night still got Chinese oldies played from speaker of central zone as part of Chinese New Year celebration.
Very fast, 3 days passed and it’s fun.
Last day working, after work, I took photos before going home. Yay. Thanks for everyone who came by to visit and support DiGi.
And for the 3 nights while we were going home, we always stuck in the jam for like 5-10 minutes. It’s the car of all who works at Queensbay Mall, not shoppers. Wow.
One tip for working at Queensbay Mall, parking at the open site car park is only RM1.50 as per entry.
So basically, if you need to look for mobile broadband, cheapest postpaid, or any Digi-related product, do drop by at the Digi’s booth in Queensbay Mall Central Zone behind the performing stage, I will be there from Friday till this Sunday. =D
I am working part-time as promoter, event helper and almost everything. HAHA. Fun or not? There’s fun, because there’s payout, there’s not fun because I stand a lot and it’s like many many hours and walkaround the booth quite a lot.
I receive the job quite last minute, I was surfing the net at home, fixing my computer then suddenly a friend called and ask if I need a job or not, so I said “yes” and asked “when?”. She said “now” and I was like OMG a little bit, so fast, but since I’ve got nothing to do and there’s payout, I took the job.
So basically we are targeting customer on mobile broadband, so any inquiry can drop by, or if there’s nothing, also can drop by and chill with me.
So nice that today (Friday), I bumped up with many friends, some work at Queensbay and some were just shopping around, at least it’s not boring.
My colleagues are all very friendly too and very nice to talk. Like it.
Another thing to mention is that try sending “VIP” to 2000 to check whether you are a Digi Priority user, if you are, you can redeem free gift from the booth. Only for postpaid and super heavy user. =) I am a prepaid so I am not entitle for it.
So, the working hour is 10.30am to 10.30pm, a lot of stand, so do come by and check out Digi. In my own opinion, Digi has got the cheapest Blackberry plan, cheapest unlimited data plan, fastest mobile 3G broadband, nice postpaid plan and good service. I am telling the truth, not just trying to promote Digi, I kinda like how they market their product.
The reason I am on Maxis Mobile Internet because I am using a Maxis business line so if asking me to port to Digi, there will be a lot of procedure and my mom will not want to spend extra time on doing this. So I’ve got no choice.
Ee Yan and Lit Chen who were working for Celcom’s.
Celcom? Think again. =D
The initial plan was Chien Chern come to my house to fetch me go to Penang Hill Tram Station to fetch Arron, Chen Yuen, Yiphing and Sher Reen to Botanical Garden, then hike up to Penang Hill and eat some ice kacang, then take the tram down and sit Arron’s car back to Botanical Garden for Chien Chern’s car. But FAILED because the tram service was down for repair work. So sad man.
While at the tram station, while waiting for Arron them to come, Chien Chern and I got no place to go and simply drove around the area and found a temple. So we went in to take a look and I prayed.
The temple was pretty cool and it’s quiet in the morning. I saw monks at there.
In the end, all two car drove to Youth Park and hike up to Moon Gate and come back down. It’s still exercise afterall but we were quite late at that time, it’s almost mid-morning already.
Moon Gate is a stop at the hill for resting. The trail up to the place where I always go hiking with my mom. It’s pretty fun and sometime can see monkey at there.
I did check how long the trail was before, it’s about 2km and it’s not very tall, around 230m above sea level and took us like half and hour. Wonder how long will it takes for us to climb the Mount. Kinabalu tallest in South East Asia.
Sher Reen, Yiphing.
I have got no food up there and at that kind of time, there’s no water service too, so I drank tap water up there, hopefully it’s clean. =) Feeling a little bit of hungry, Arron gave me a bite of his prepared sandwich. Thank you.
Spent like 30 minutes up there, crapping and shouting after other people went down, so at a moment, it’s only us up there. Very not quiet but a bit creepy. But soon, there’s hiker came up again and we turned our voice down. If you go hiking during the evening, there’s nice kopi-o to drink, music and many people up there, quite happenings.
Stim look with Arron.
There’s my respectful Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s photo. Rocks.
We wanted to go Penang Hill still, but no luck connecting it to there. There’s still a route at the back of Moon Gate, but no sure where it leads to. A little bit scary. Haha.
Nice view from some part of the hill.
We then went down under the hot sun. Very surprise and now only I know there’s still people go hiking almost noon. It’s like peopl
e go there at anytime of the day, don’t know night got or not.
Some friend must be thinking, “isn’t my new year’s eves are always in Penang (my hometown)?” Pretty wrong, last year I spent my New Year’s Eve at a cold and people-not-enjoying-new-years-eve place and that’s Guangzhou.
People at there don’t really interest in New Year or New Year eve, Chinese there are more to Chinese New Year, but so New Year Day is still a national public holiday. Still remember that I spent my day touring Guangzhou and at night counting down in the hotel room, watching Hong Kong’s great fireworks from the idiot box. It’s still fun though, because I was traveling. =D
Same thing as Christmas Eve’s morning, I woke up then went for dim sum at the same dim sum house. I don’t know whose idea it was, it’s just “IT’S DIM SUM AGAIN!”.
They as in Yiphing, Chai Wei, Chien Chern and Chen Yuen went back to their places and would be meet in the afternoon. As for me, I went for college hunting to ask info about studies. Went to The One, Disted and Equator and still I’ve got no decision in my mind. I am going to wait for my result in March already. I think I’ll go to a college whichever needed to pay the less.
Then went to meet Anthony, my tuition teacher at his new place, big renovation was going on because he wanted to remove all the wall in his new house. Seems interesting and just stayed there for a while and listen to his ideas on the interior design.
After college hunting, I actually got no place to go. I was supposed to go meet my friends at her house and I was in the middle of her house and my house, thinking should I go home for a rest or not. After thinking for a little bit, decided to spend the whole day out and only go back home at midnight. Save petrol by not going back and out. Hehe.
Very lame, we were suppose to think what to do and where to go at Yiphing’s house but in the end, we spent the whole afternoon at her house, crapping mostly and eat instant noodle. Thank you Yiphing for the instant noodle. At one time, I don’t know what we were screaming and shouting until the neighbour came complain, it means seriously that the place need better noise insulation. =D
Shit, act gay.
6pm came and in one car, I was the driver, we went to Queensbay Mall to check out the countdown concert. Unfortunately, there’s no Yiphing here, it’s only me, Chien Chern, Chen Yuen and Chai Wei. Mom keep telling me that it would be very jam around the area but what I saw was smooth traffic, just like the Chinese always says One Road Smooth Wind, which means move smoothly all the way.
The concert was starting at 8 and it was like 6.30pm when we arrived. It seems like there’s no crazy fans waiting at the front line, since there’s nothing to see yet, we went into Queensbay Mall and roam around, without sense of direction and shops to go or things to buy.
My favourite thing to do is standing in front of any of the Mac, iMac biggest screen 27″ preferably, turn on Photo Booth program and make fun, then bluetooth all the photo for self-storage. =D Very lame right? It’s a form of my entertainment when I found Apple’s computer at the store. We spent like half an hour at there and took quite many photos. Hopefully no one were laughing at us and the Apple people didn’t even want to bother us.
Accidentally bumped up with Mxdoing Min Xiang and his friend Sammy, they were going for a movie instead.
Very sad that after playing so long at the Photo Booth and walking the whole mall, the concert still not yet started. The MC were just interacting with the people. I don’t have the Rock’s Zone ticket, so I didn’t bother to go in early.
Very lame, we went into the mall again. I went to get my camera batteries because I was scared that my camera will run die if I keep on shooting useless stuff.
It’s dinner time after that. Almost all restaurant in Queensbay Mall are not very low priced, so we went out of Queensbay Mall and found Mommy Wang at the opposite. Not very low priced too, but do serves not-bad Taiwanese food.
After dinner for sure would be the concert time! Since we have got no ticket, we stand pretty far from the stage and only can see from the screen. I didn’t have a zoom lens, so not thinking of photo shooting that time. Just enjoying the crowds and music.
It’s a Chinese concert, organized by local Chinese commercial radio 988, there’s 2 Taiwanese singer (Tank and Power Station) and many local artists and what I was waiting for was the Taiwanese singer only. =D They came out at the very end of the concert for countdown of new year.
Met Alvin there.
Then P1 Wimax were giving out a lot of air banger but it’s lousy, it goes airless after a few bangs.
Cheong Kin were there too!
After Tank came out on stage and sang many many song, I really meant many, maybe he is popular so the whole half and hour was given to him, then we went somewhere near backstage to wait for the fireworks. Power Station took the stage on after that, and they were counting down for it. Found no where to sit, it’s everyone, and since the road was block, we sat on the floor. ^^
5-4-3-2-1. Yoyoyo, happy new year!
Didn’t have a tripod with me so I can’t shoot nice fireworks photo. I took them handheld at a slow speed. The fireworks was not very awesome, it’s like 10 minutes long only.
Amanda the blogger was there too!
And met Lester, Emily and Jameson.
The night had not end yet, the most shitty thing was queuing up to pay parking ticket, the line was half and hour long and after paying, the whole carpark was a massive jam, takes another half and hour to get out. Scary. I was thinking that won’t I have to repay my parking ticket because I exceeded the time limit after paying the parking ticket and not out of the mall, but it’s not a problem already because there’s guard collecting ticket and need not insert into the barrier machine again.
It’s only jam at Queensbay Mall carpark, the road outside was smooth. The night then ended with a supper at Upper Penang Road. Then it’s home everyone. Happy Chinese New Year for now! Haha.
So many bad and sad things happened lately, the dragon boat tragedy, I got food poison and went into the hospital, and camera gear spoil. Mom asked me to go to the temple for a pray for good luck and good in everything. Chinese New Year is coming and I also hoped that I will have good luck all the time.
Long time didn’t go Kuan Yin temple already. The last time, was like before SPM which we were having temples hopping in Penang.
Flock of birds.
So last week, I went there with Arron and Chien Chern. Bought praying materials and went to pray in the temple. The whole process took like 15 minutes.
Chien Chern.
Pitt Street in Chinese name, literally means Foot Of Coconut Street.
Arron.
After pray, I went home. Very fast, and very short while. Didn’t spend much time out there because it was getting late and I don’t want to be stuck in the traffic jam.
Now is holiday to me, always go here and go there, I don’t feel boring because I still got a lot of thing to and want to do. Going out with friends is just part of it, I don’t want to waste so many money out also.
“Burn” money is fun as they said, but I don’t have that much money to burn, lots of gadget, camera lens, clothing are in my wishlist and shopping list, so I have a lot of saving to do. Do support my sponsors on the sidebar too. =) I didn’t look for part time job also, but then keep hoping that I can earn more from my blogging job. Anyway, still got to thank all of you for supporting my blog everyday.
One day, I forgotten when, I went out to Gurney Plaza with the usual friends, Arron Lim, Alvin Ng and Chien Chern. THey are my buddies, so don’t be surprise to always see them appear here in my blog. Most people have already go to college or are working, so I only left this few friends that keep “burning” money everyday, doing nothing, “sang” here and there.
Tell you a fun place to take photos in Gurney Plaza and that is Nichii boutique. Although the place sells all women’s clothing, but then you still can go in to take photos. The lighting is good and camera is allowed, not like other shop that don’t allow people to take photos. Very uncomfortable with that kind of shop.
Sexy mannequin’s leg. =.=
Pretty lame we were, we went to the fourth floor where there’s coin game machine for very very little children. We went to put in coin and play, the helicopter and merry go around. I am too small enough to fit in those game machine. =D Frankly, I didn’t try this when I was small.
Chien Chern acting cute.
We then have afternoon tea at a cafe named Downtown Cafe, a budget eating place in Gurney Plaza, hidden at the fourth floor in front of BEST electronic store. Most workers at Gurney Plaza go there to eat.
LOL.
Now is holiday to me, because I don’t go to school and I don’t go to work. Everyday just, sit back, relax and enjoy, it’s kinda fun, you don’t really get much time after I get back into school or work. Now is the time between graduated from high school and waiting for result. After studying for 11 years, primary and secondary school, this 3 months break is good.
Some friends have already went into college, some got themselves a job, and some are still like me, doing nothing, in a holiday mood. You say like that good or not?
Stim look.
Last friday morning, went to jogging with a few friends, nice to sweat. Then we went to breakfast at Mandarin Cafe which is located at Island Glades.
Got talk got smile, we eat and we talk. Spent the whole morning at there, because we just didn’t know where to go next. I was with Chien Chern because he car pooled me and became my “driver” for the day.
Wasting petrol is no good and it’s destroying the environment with carbon. So car pooling is good, or the best, public transport. =D But ever since I have got my driving license, I seldom take the public bus anymore, seldom. I kinda miss the days when I was on the Rapid Penang bus, I can surf the net on the bus somemore.
Alvin the camera boy.
Always is this two appear in my blog.
Same pose always.
Cool!
But anyhow, drive or public transport? By the way, second question to my friends, are you studying now or working or doing nothing like me?
The dragon boat tragedy [news] that happened here in my hometown, at Macallum there was very sad and worst, I know few of the victim.
I really don’t know what do say. I went to passed away Yi Zhang’s funeral place, saw his brother who was my classmate, my friend, I didn’t know what to say to him, it’s just, sad. I was going through my photos in my computer and I found some photos. Yi Zhang was already in the dragon boat team 2 years back and he was good.
2008 Penang Internation Dragon Boat Festival.
Everything is over now. No more missing people, none of them came back to tell the tale. So now, everyone pray for them and may their soul could rest in peace.
Pillow Fight, Penang Times Square.
Life move on from now on, you can’t change the passed and I hope everyone will be alright. Stay calm and one more thing, water is scary, don’t play play with the water/sea/ocean/river.
Don’t cry, be strong, stay strong. Thank god that you and I are still breathing. Cherish every second now.
17th January 2010 is a very sad and tragic Sunday. Chung Ling High School’s dragon boat team went out to the sea for training and was hit by strong current and capsized. Then people fell into the water, 2 dead, 4 still missing at this moment (12.53am).
Chung Ling High School was my high school and the saddest thing is that one of the dead, the passed away was Jason Ch’ng, my Leo Club’s President! My successor, the president of the club after my year. Oh, that’s so sucks man.
4 still missing and I know 2 of them, Brendon and Yi Zhang. Please do pray for them hard, it’s more than 12 hours since the thing happened now, very very scary.
PRESIDENT OF LEO CLUB OF CHUNG LING HIGH SCHOOL (2009-2010).
A FRIEND.
A LEADER.
REST IN PEACE. BYE BYE.
Really sucks man. Water are so scary, please don’t play in the water and let us pray together. Everything is so unexpected. Oh damn. I want to say f*ck.
By the way, check this out, rescue team damn.
Also on the tragedy, Eric Tan Leong Yit, 17, a friend of a survivor, said his friend was the first to alert the police on the incident as soon as he came ashore.
“However, it took the police 45 minutes to arrive. It seems like the police initially did not believe it was a genuine emergency call,” he said at the scene.
In the incident, a teacher and a student drowned and four other students went missing after a dragon boat carrying 18 people capsized in waters about 100 metres offshore Lebuh Macallum here at 10.20am. [nst]
