PIK NIK Food & Gathering With Primary School Friend

PIK NIK Food & Gathering With Primary School Friend – It’d been a while that I see and meet my primary school’s friend. After studying in Chung Ling High School, it seems like I was lost in contact with most of them. All the while I was like mixing with high school friends, only when Facebook arrives on the web, we started to communicate again. Well, it’s nice to have some nice primary school mate who organises some gathering session.

Well, thanks Joanne for organising that recent gathering session at PIK NIK when I was in Penang few weeks ago. I was pretty excited for that as I haven’t been meeting for a long long time. In fact, I did forget about a few girls in the invitation list, hehehe, but not now. Now I’ve remember all of you! No worry.

It was dinner, it was gathering, it was photo session, it was Zenga session, it was just joking around, it was reunion. Funny that I didn’t know what to talk at first, was shy at the girls, nothing much with the boys as they were high school mate. But crap and bullshits coming out of mouth after some warm up of “Hello” here and there. Laughter started to break the silence. HAHAHA.

How about food? Not low price, but looks good! Should have tried out the smoked salmon waffle. I ordered a new food in the menu – Spicy Kimchi Spaghetti and seriously…. It’s HOT AND SPICY! But with my spicy tongue, it’s still acceptable.

Spicy Kimchie Spaghetti with sausages.

Chicken Waffle Burger. Looks yummy and very worth with that portion.

Smoked Salmon Waffle – Yums! Very good.

Bacon Waffle.

Food presentation does indeed looks pretty at there. Forgot to mention, the owner behind this little cafe is a Graphic Designer! That’s why you will see very irregular seatings and fancy graphical artwork around the cafe. Cool place to chill, perhaps in the afternoon. It gets pretty noisy at night. =D

Photos of some Zenga session and group shot with them…

Friends Get-Together At Chien Chern’s Place

#1: Johnny Teh Zheng Feng! Long time no see, football pro, good singing voice, always work on math question. =D

Friends Get-Together At Chien Chern’s Place – When everyone goes to college, it’s hard to meet up, crap, talk, do stupid together like we used to be during high school because we were always together in the same classroom for the whole year. I am now back to Penang for holiday which I am enjoying every bit moment of it. Trying to utilize the nice holiday properly.

Recently, a group of boys, went to Chien Chern’s place for a little steamboat gathering.

#2: Alvin, my best friend since form 1 who I influenced to start a blog – alvinyang.net. Ignore his lame pose.

#3: Boy chefs. LOL. Alvin, Raykee, Arron and Simon.

Everyone was kinda surprised, wonder why there’s no girls. Not even Chien Chern’s pet dog is a girl. So it’s all-boys night. HAHA. Although some said boys is a better cook, somehow the night’s steamboat was luan luan lai (made it simply), however turn out full and not that bad too.

Well, I let the picture speaks in this post. Enjoy and happy Monday!

#4: Zez Chien, my classmate when I was 16, 4 years ago. =D

#5: Chien Chern, the crazy one who I always mix with during high school.

#6: Now you see his face.

#7: Arron, also the crazy one and I give him a title of “Great Story Teller”. He just so nice to talk with.

#8: Working out on the steamboat, just ignore my face. =D

#9: One of the entertainment, arm wrestling. Just one round.

#10: What the … ?! I have no idea why we were posing for the 1Malaysia. Hmm. Seriously,election is coming soon, this year, think properly who to vote. =D Anwar just freed from Sodomy charge while I am writing this post.

#11: Group photo.

#12: Ignore Alvin. Alright, there’s still 1Malaysia on the right.

#13: Arron, Tee Jin, Raykee, Chien Chern and me.

That’s it, 9 batangs get-together at a batang’s house. HAHA

Penang Canon EOS User Gathering At Coob Cafe

Last Sunday night, I went to Coob Cafe at KOMTAR Walk to meet up with the Penang Canon EOS DSLR users for a little chit-chat and sharing session (some known as TT / Teh Tarik session). Well, since I am in a holiday and so lucky to be back in my hometown while his event happens, so I went to join the EOS DSLR user for a little gathering to make friends and try some power gear. =D

These lens total up can buy a car. I am serious.

I actually got the invites from Facebook and I knew one of them. It’s a good sharing session because I get to played with some powerful lenses and learn about some photography stuff, as you know I am still very noob in photography even though I have been playing for quite a long time, yet my interest in photography has not faded yet.

As you know, I just bought a new lens lately, the Sigma, so I shared it out too. One thing, my camera was the oldest at there, using the Canon EOS 400D, what a classic. Even though it’s old, I am still loving it, it’s still powering my blog with all the awesome photos.

Somehow, I am thinking of upgrade, just that I don’t have enough money for it yet. So in the mean time of saving it, I am still sticking with my lovely 400D. =D

Played 2 L lenses at there, one was the 70-200 F2.8L and another one was the 100mm F2L. L lens is the top of the lines and the most high quality Canon photographic lens, people like to say L stands for luxurious. For your information, an L lens, the cheapest one is about RM2.8k. Expensive right? Photography is really an expensive hobby. However, the photo quality is superb!

Please support my sponsors (advertisement on blog) more so I can save more money to upgrade my photography gear. =D

Do you like photography?

Hueisean and Friends at Kek Lok Si Temple

Last year, I went to photoshoot at Kek Lok Si temple twice, one with the Leo gang another time with Alvin because there’s not much time on the first visit so we planned a second visit to do some serious photoshooting of the famous Kek Lok Si pagoda and temple in Penang.

The reason of us shooting the Kek Lok Si temple during Chinese New Year is because that the whole thing light up nicely with decorations during that period.

This year, I didn’t have the feeling to do same thing because I did that last year already. I have already shoot most of the thing at Kek Lok Si temple, except a whole Kek Lok Si view which have to be taken far away from the temple.

Although have already did photoshoot last year, but I still visit to the temple this year because of the beatifulness and awesomeness.

What’s different here this year is I went up with Hueisean and her friends. Who is Hueisean? She’s my girlfriend. Oh yeah. Haha. So in the series of photos below, you will see a lot of gorgeous photos of her. =D She has become my subject of photography lately, a free model. =D

Why not? She’s cute, she’s pretty, has a youthful, cheerful look.

I went there like 3 days before the end of Chinese New Year and still the road up Kek Lok Si as usual jam during that time. Kek Lok Si temple has the most visitor during Chinese New Year of all of others time of the year. Everyone come to Penang goes there, Everyone who is from Penang goes there. It’s a must visit spot during Chinese New Year.

Yonye on the camera.

People pray but I see most people were up there just to join the fun, and also take photograph.

This year had some special case happened at the temple as one kid like 18/19 years old hit an old lady while reversing his car. Without apologizing or checking out how’s that old lady was, he scolded and shouted at the family of the old lady. Someone took the video of the happenings and posted on Youtube and Chinese newspaper reported about it. Damn, why youth today so no manners one.

Minvoon on the right.

Zuen with a messy hair.

Kwangliang with the camera.

Chiawen, Szugeng, Weiling, Zuen, Hueisean, Minvoon and Cymin.

Oh my instax. Any idea where have cheap instax mini film?

Photos photos all night long and the breeze up there were kinda nice because it’s after a rainy day. So if you have a chance to visit Penang, do check out this place. =)

1st Day Of 2011 At Tao Auto City And Snow At Sunway Carnival Mall

The first week of 2011 new year has passed, I want to wish you all Happy New Year, Happy One Week. =D Today I want to talk about a part of the happenings on the first day of 2011 which falls on a Saturday, last week of today. Last year, I can’t recall where I went, the first day usually simple and just a normal day to me because the night before was a blast, late sleeping and stuff. Rested for the whole morning and afternoon on the first day, then I went to Tao Japanese Buffet at Auto City with the Leo Club friends.

It had been some times I didn’t go out in a such a big gang already. The people present that night has total of 25. Woo. It’s actually also a surprise celebration of someone which you will see down below.

We went for the early session which starts from 5.30pm until 8.30pm. It’s eat-all-you-can buffet style where you order as much as you can and they will serve you. The last visit was March 2010 to celebrate Zhen Yuen’s birthday at there.

This time wasn’t so enjoying because there’s too many people and the waiter couldn’t serve each of us well. Food came in very slow and the 2 side tables beside the main one always get neglected, turn up people sitting beside, like me has to steal food from the main table. Haha.

Met friends that haven’t been seeing for sometimes, met new friends that I never see before. But it’s kinda nice dinner because everyone can sit down, chit chat and jokes about stuff.

Then the birthday cake came in out of no where. I didn’t even know it was a birthday surprise celebration for 18 years old Tict Chyn and the birthday cake just came in suddenly.

Her birthday was actually 5 days later but it’s an early surprise celebration. Not bad. We get free cakes to eat. =D I am not sure Tao got expensive or it was a public holiday, a person costs RM58 after +, expensive? I thought last time was around RM50. Hmm.

Me, Joel and Jocelyn.

After eat, after desserts then it was a little bit of photo session. Didn’t really take much photo because there’s 3 more DSLR on-site and they are better photographer than me. Me is just life-logging. Haha.

Cindy!

Caster, me and Daniel.

Kah Sing and Lansi Jocelyn. =D

Cindy, Jocelyn, me, Min Xiang, Kah Sing, Yi Jun.

It was still early after having our super full dinner. It was just 8.30pm and we have no place to go and out of no where, a voice said “To Sunway Carnival Mall We Go”. And so we journeyed to Sunway Carnival Mall. I was so gladful that I arrived there without using a GPS. =D The reason I was not using a GPS was because I am pro, no, it’s because I couldn’t find the POI on it. Haha.

Walk around the mall pointlessly, simply walk and talk and do stupid things like talking loud in Parkson shopping centre. Then we stood still at the centre atrium for 5 minutes, less than 25 people mini flash mobs. I can’t resist myself to smile during that time but still turn up to be a nice effect in the mall. =D

Then suddenly it felt warm because of 2 spotlights at the ceiling and in a suddenly, white floss coming down from the sky, no it’s not snowing, it’s snowing, no it’s not snowing practically, but it’s snowing, fakely.

A nice scene and moment of form-made artificial snow drop down from the ceiling. It’s beautiful.

Happy New Year people. =)

Meet Up With A Few 2009’s 5SA1 People

A year has already past from high school. Somehow, I am still missing those crazy bunch of classmate and friends from high school last time. You know, high school is like a playground or theme park where it’s playing and enjoying every day in school. But somehow, time flies and people grows, nothing can turn back time and people can only look forward in life and enjoy to the fullest.

Last week, I went to meet up with Hock Sheng, Yong Chieh, Juan Shong and Young Hean who came back from Phillipines. Yeah, there’s only five of us. Some busy with their thing, some PPK-ed, but at least we met.

We talked and we ate burger there. It’s a place at Bayan Lepas and I have no idea why they picked somewhere so far.

Forgot to tell that they are all my classmate last time during Form 5 a year ago in 5SA1 of Penang Chung Ling High School. So friends, if you are reading this, try say a time and we’ll plan something big, for all 42 of us. =)

Town Stimboat and Next Three Days Outing

I don’t know why I was so obsessed with the word “Stim” lately and they as in my friends invited me for steamboat which I keep spelling it as STIMBOAT. STIM-BOAT. Stim has many meaning, one means high (as in sexually aroused) and one means blur, and my meaning is more on the blur part. Haha. So last last week, Arron, Simon Hong, Chien Chern and Zez Chien invited me to go “stimboat” dinner and also to watch Next Three Days at Gurney Plaza.

Yeah, it was a fun day because it had been some times I go out with my secondary school friends which I usually mixed with. Now everyone is studying in different college and it’s kinda hard to meet up and go out together like during last time. Last time we attend class together and go places together, but now, everything has changed, everyone busy with their own stuff already. Me too have my stuff to do.

This is saddening sometimes. But I really really hope we can keep in touch for a long long time. Friendship should last forever IMO, but it doesn’t seems to be. But anyway, let’s talk about what we did.

We meet up at Gurney Plaza to catch a movie and there’s not many movie to watch. We picked The Next Three Days. The movie is kinda cool I tell you, it’s prison break, and that’s all. A little bit boring at the front part but the movie get interesting after then. A good watch.

Then we went to “stimboat” at our usual steamboat place which is the Town Steamboat Restaurant at Macalister Rd. It’s a steamboat buffet. Surprisingly, we stopped eating after we were really full because usually when we go there, we will eat until over-full-full, but this time was different. Just nice-full then we stopped.

After that, we went to take a walk at Straits Quay and went back home to sleepy. =)

Batu Ferringhi With Chien Chern and Cheong Kin

I don’t know why recently my ass is so naughty and couldn’t stick still to the chair. For some night, I felt like going out for some fresh air and not staying at home. And my recent favourite place is Batu Ferringhi, a beach like 15 minutes from my home.

Last time I usually will go to town or go to pasar malam at Jelutong but suddenly feel like going to Batu Ferringhi, thinking of getting out of the busy city to a tourist area, more peace, more fun. Haha.

It was a Wednesday night and I asked Cheong Kin who stays in Tanjung Bungah and Chien Chern who stays in Batu Ferringhi out for a little boys chit-chat night and meet-up before I leave Penang. We actually didn’t know where to go. No night market walking because I went there a week before with Chien Chern already. I wanted a place with cheap drinks, with peoples and a cool environmnet, but hardly find any at Batu Ferringhi, especially one with cheap drinks.

People have been talking about the Sixty9ine Mansion, a pub/bistro with swimming pool and lots of sofa, and also DJ for music. It’s a nightlife place, not really a club but it’s a cool hang out place for youngster. I’ve never been there before, curious and we decided to went in to check it out.

It’s pretty but there’s not many people maybe it’s still early. Walked around but didn’t want to look for a seat because we knew it’s expensive, mostly liquor in the menu. No chicks, we only boys, where fun? Haha.

Took some photos and now at least I can tell people I went in before, for photos. LOL. Anyway, if there’s chance, I wanna go there again, for drinks of course.

Right after we left, people like starting to flow in. I thought it’s ladies night and there would be many people but not. Maybe because it’s weekdays and people lazy to go until Batu Ferringhi which is pretty far. If you go there on a Saturday, it’s freaking full and the whole Batu Ferringhi is so jam because of this Sixty9ine.

In the end, we went to Sunset Bistro for drinks, and man’s talk. There’s people curious of what’s man’s talk. Simple, man’s topic – girls, what else? Gaming? Haha. This visit can say it’s my second time going there, the first time was very long time ago already. But have to say, this place is cool! Like it.

Chien Chern.

Charging my gadget.

Cheong Kin.

Although it’s still not the cheapest place we’ve found, but it’s OK already because there’s no more cheap place in Batu Ferringhi. It’s a tourist area and we can expect nothing. Any idea or recommendation of chit-chat place with cheap drinks? Haha.

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!”.
