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

The RM1 Red Box Karaoke Promotion at 1st Avenue

Chien Chern doing some exercise 2 hours before.

Karaoke have never been so cheap to me except singing it and screaming with my own in my living room. Red Box Karaoke is my favourite k-ing place in town, Penang, Kuala Lumpur and almost anywhere that have the outlet because it’s cheaper than other which have nice low price student package.

Usually, a normal karaoke session will cost me about RM10-RM15 depends on time and day. I would never spend on the most expensive one which is the buffet dinner at RM38++ per person. Wow. But recently, I spent even lower for karaoke which is at only RM1+! Yes, it’s freaking-ONE-ringgit-ONLY!

In conjunction with the latest and 2nd outlet of Red Box outlet in Penang at the new 1st Avenue shopping mall, they came up with a promotion collaborate with the local daily. Guang Ming Daily for a promotion of singing k at only RM1. The best part of all is that you get what you get at that session. For example, if you go at buffet dinner K at RM38++, you pay only RM1+ and you get the buffet dinner too! =)

But, but, but, but, there’s a but, which is that you have to queue up long long as it’s only limit to 50 people per session and the promotion voucher is not available on Guang Ming Daily everyday, you need to spot for it.

Hueisean. =)

Guess what, I went to this RM1 karaoke twice! =) Once with my dearest Hueisean, and another time with the boys.

The first one was the earliest, brunch K to me and her. We arrived at about 9.30am and I guess we were the earliest, we only get into the queue when there’s people queueing for it and that’s around 9.45am, then we only need to wait 15 minutes for our turn. Yo, this rocks. We had rice for brunch there. =)

The boys. Me, Cheong Kin, Zez Chien, Arron, Zheng Feng and Chien Chern.

Zez Chien.

Cheong Kin and Zheng Feng.

Arron Lim!

Started queing 1+ hours before.

Luckily we have an iPad to pass time.

The next visit was on Friday night and we went for the midnight karaoke at 12am. The original price is RM28++ and this time was a long queue for me because we started on the line at around 10.30pm and we waited for freaking 1.5 hours. But the wait is kinda worth because I never try midnight K before and I got buffet supper. Oh yeah. And the singing time was very long, from 12am to 4am.

After the buffet supper and singing for like one, two hours, I started to feel sleepy already and didn’t really sing much. Haha. Half awake while sleeping.

Though, everything was fun, going with dearest was sweet and fun, going with the boys was crazy and shouting, Went home at around 4am and the parking ticket was RM5. WOW. So it’s not exactly RM1+ (RM1.10 with tax) karaoke. Haha, but still worth the fun. Yoyoyo.

Kelana Jaya LRT to KLCC with Penang People

Last weekend was an awesome, wet, tiring, reunion and fun Saturday to me. I get to go to downtown Kuala Lumpur for a walk, to see the magnificent twin towers which had become boring to me, see the gorgeous Pavilion shopping mall, the crowded but not as crowded as Singapore’s Orchard Rd’s Bukit Bintang. =D

From Bandar Sunway to Kuala Lumpur. I have found a way to get there fast, save expensive parking cost at Kuala Lumpur’s shopping mall and that is park your car or go to Kelana Jaya LRT then then the LRT straight to the city. I know people here might know it already, but there’s still from Penang still don’t know.

Haha. You need to use your Touch N’ Go to part at the LRT and you need to use the LRT service in order to have your car park fee at RM3 the whole day or else you will be charged hourly. Arron asked me why I knew about this, because I Google-d. LOL.

That day was a wet day because it’s raining on and off, cats and dogs, Tom and Jerry. Sometimes big, sometimes, small. Made going place difficult only.

That days attendee were me your blogger, Arron from Penang, Tee Jin, from Penang, Pin Hoong from Penang, Carmen from Penang, Xiu Xin from Penang, and Jing Min from Penang. OK, they are all from Penang. I don’t know what am I talking about. >.< It’s Saturday, it’s weekend and everyone took a day off from study. Some come far from Shah Alam, some come far from Damansara and the furthest was Sepang, which is 45 minutes ride from there. Woo.

I don’t know why, I have tell you before. I have something on subways and LRT. I just like riding on it. It’s fun. At here in Kuala Lumpur, there’s the KTM and LRT. KTM is nearer to me and I get free parking by parking at Carrefour carpark, but then I don’t want to use the service because of the slowness, and dirty. LRT is much more faster, frequency is like 5 minutes per train and I can go KLCC directly, though a Ringgit more expensive.

What is this?!

I tell you LRT user, or whatever commuter user in KL, go get a Touch N Go car for your ride, save up time and make Malaysia more high tech. Utilize it, it’s not just for toll. I have one, bought from Penang and I pay for Penang Bridge for only RM5.60 instead of standard toll rate RM7.00. Special privilege.

Actually, there’s reason I go to KLCC because my lecturer asked me to go check out the HOMEDEC exhibition which is related to my studies. My friends who are not in the course were so kind to acompany me go there. You guys rocks. Thank you.

Super expensive chocolate, who can buy for me?

When we reached KLCC, we wanted to go to the KLCC, which is the convention centre but sadly it rain super heavily because there’s no shade or covered walkway or underground passes going there, do they? We didn’t know so we waited the rain to stop only then we walk there.

I don’t really know around in there, I seriously need a pro to guide me. That would be my dad, but he’s not around in Kuala Lumpur. Perhaps the next exhibition, I shall ask him along then explain each and everything to me. =) Superman dad rocks.

Bought some cheap magazine at there to do some references at home.

After KLCC HomeDec, the sky rained again! @#&%(*%)! We wanted to call the Sun come out but we didn’t have his number so in the end, we wait wait wait, then we take taxi go to Pavilion. Haha. The first taxi really shit, quoted us RM10 for just a walking distance, the next one was better, RM5, we 5 person hopped on and another 2 were under the
umbrella. Next stop, Pavilion, Bukit Bintang and go back home. ^.^

Day Out With Felix and Friends

Here’s a day out with Felix, who is a 11 years old boy, and brother of Arron, my good friend. =D Few weeks back in Penang, I went to Queensbay Mall to meet up with Chen Yuen who came back from Kampar and many people. It’s had been a few months I didn’t see them already, many went to Kampar for studies. Soon I will be like that also because I am now in Kuala Lumpur!

So that day, afternoon I drove to Queensbay Mall. I went there to join them for movie, Despicable Me which is a very cute and funny cartoon and highly recommended if you haven’t watch. I didn’t think of going to the KTV and I was there early before the movie and some friends were in the KTV, so I went to visit them at Neway. My first time and last time of going to Neway Karaoke before I moved to Kuala Lumpur. Woo.

After movie, we just went walking around the mall as we have nothing much to do.

Yiphing and me.

With Boo Teik and Chien Chern, they are the “animals”.

Arron Lim’s brother, Felix.

Ammerlynn, Chen Yuen and me.

Sher Reen and me.

Boon Hooi, studying at UTAR, Kampar too!

I am wondering, how are you guys back there? Are you guys doing good? I am miss home badly. Sucks man.

斗母宫 Raja Uda Tow Boo Kong / Nine Emperor Gods Temple

Last Tuesday was fun because I went to Butterworth for a little road trip and visits to holy places, the St. Anne’s Sanctuary and now the Raja Uda famous Tow Boo Kong or simply known as the Nine Emperor Gods Temple. If you are curious about my religion, I am not really sure what am I, I guess I am Taoist which believe in Buddhism too.

Paddy field. =D

From Bukit Mertajam to Raja Uda in Butterworth is not near! I always thought they are close to each other but not already after this trip. Google Maps was our guide and it sucks because it brought us into Kampung and using those little road instead of the high way.

Very kampung.

Which eventually made us a little bit scared because for 20-30 minutes along the road, we saw paddy field, old houses, Malay village and it’s very rural. Scared there we were lost and in the end decided to look for sign and turn into highway and forget about the maps. We agak-agak know it’s somewhere on Raja Uda Rd, so we didn’t bother the maps in the end and went there on our own.

After driving for like 45 minutes, turning in and out from the rural and unfamiliar roads, forgetting about the GPS, we have reach the Tow Boo Kong safely. So happy to see the gate and the temple. I am not a very superstitious person but I know a little bit of Nine Emporor God. I know there’s Nine Emperor God Festival which happens during September of Chinese calendar every year and it’s very happenings in Penang or place with Nine Emperor Gods Temple. It’s also season when devotees become vegetarian during the festival.

Penang is famous for this event at Carnavon Street and here at Raja Uda. It’s a little bit like Indian’s Thaipusam with poking on human flesh. Woo.

The temple was long and has a super pretty gate on the outside. The whole compound is huge but the temple is not super huge as I thought. It’s not like the St Anne or Kek Lok Si in Penang so big. But the place is nice.

They have good design, good engraving, modernish mixed with Chinese temple feel.

Although I am not a superstitious person, but since visited to the temple, might as well do some prayers for myself and family. =)

Guess what, it was late afternoon, sunset time and it was only us praying in the temple. =D It’s super quiet! One interesting about the temple is that when doing prayers, putting the joss stick, there’s actually numbering sequence for which pot and which god and goddess to pray first, so there’s like 1, 2, 3 so you wouldn’t be confuse which to start first and which to end. Damn cool for people like me who don’t really know the “protocol” of a temple. Hehe.

Tow Boo Kong rocks.

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! =)

Away to PLKN (Day 53): Autograph Session at Foyi Children Camp 2009

I felt like I was a superstar at the Foyi Children Camp 2009 because everyone was asking for my autograph. Haha, but actually it’s not me only, everyone signed each other shirt. So sad I didn’t wear my red shirt like theirs so I couldn’t ask them to sign mine.

Anyway, I wonder do you guys still wear the shirt with all the signatures?

Here are my autograph for people. My autograph sucks and I need to learn to sign something nice, who knows one day in the future, I might sit down and people will ask for my autograph. Hahaha, I am dreaming.

One tips of autograph is that don’t sign the same as your credit card or confidential documents. =) You need to have a special signature for autograph. So my autograph sucks by the way.

The Chinese word 校长 (xiao4 zhang3) means principal, that’s the post I gave myself. Thick face right. This is a post that does nothing.

Oh yeah! Rocks. <3 Nick.

Visit Friends on Day 3 of Tiger Chinese New Year

Spent day zero, day one, and day two with my lovely family and there’s no more family day on the 3rd day. Everyone at home seems like have nothing to do and for me, I went out early morning to Air Itam to meet up Fang Juinn who came back from Singapore, Chin Tatt and Hua Ken who came back from National Service for a short period during Chinese New Year. It had been a long time didn’t see them already.

Hua Ken and Yong Chieh.

Woke up early and went to meet up with them at a kopitiam at Air Itam, talked to them but ate nothing because have got no idea what to eat at there. No feel.

Wuan Xin and her uncle.

OMG. Fang Juinn is getting taller!

Met a new friend, Wuan Xin, a friend of friends’. She brought us to her grandma house and her grandma was very friendly and chit chat a lot with us. She talked about her young and even showed us her traveling photos and photos when she was young. Real friendly old lady, can talk whatever with us, youngsters. I spent like whole morning at there, later on to another friend, Yong Seng’s house for a Chinese New Year visit.

Boys rape.

Dick shaped candy.

Noob fencing-kia.

Uncle’s Chicken are always yummy!

Yong Seng.

Kenny and Victor.

They’re all my junior in Leo Club. A year younger than me, we eat, we play, we gamble. Chinese New Year is always about gambling, but I lose that day. Damn. Bad luck, Kenny won the most. After losing so many, we decided to stop. They went else where and I went to Gurney Plaza to walk around because I didn’t feel like going home yet.

Min Xun and Jueqi.

Met people there. Walkaround and afternoon tea at there for a couple hour. Then it’s already evening already, went to another friend’s house again.

It’s Chen Yuen’s house at Perak Road. So nice that he was at home and I received ang bao again. It’s the last stop of friend’s house visiting of the day. Me, Ammerlynn and Chen Yuen was actually at there waiting other friends to come back to Penang so we could had dinner together. After dinner, I went to the cinema with my brother to watch Percy Jackson. It’s really tiring afterall, run here and run there, but then it’s fun and filled!
