Day Out At Gurney Plaza with Alvin Ng, Chien Chern and Arron Lim

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.

Breakfast at Mandarin Cafe

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?

Christmas 09 at Jelutong Night Market

I know it’s already 2010 but I still have so many things to share with you guys in 2009 man. Back to Christmas Day 09, it’s pretty lame and spontaneous day, but yet fun and interesting. No sense of direction and plans to go and ended up at a night market at night.

I thought after going to Nautilus Bay, Gertak Sanggul, dropped Chaiwei home then I will be home, only then I realized that that day was Friday and there’s night market on every Friday night, so last minute decided to go take a tour and dinner at the night market.

We were there early, so we went to Yiphing‘s place for a sit first before the night falls and the night market starts. Talked and prank called Chien Chern before going to the night market, pretty lame.

It’s very happenings, very crowded on a Christmas night, but then the walk way is very narrow and I don’t like. Feels like pushing all the way and keep moving on, hard to stop by and see something. Perhaps Farlim’s night market is funner, but then I still like happening place.

It’s always the same thing, clothing, junk food, hawker food, accessories but no pirated DVDs.

Met Andy and Ammerlynn at the night market, they joined us for Hokkien noodle and Char Koay Kak which I think they’re so-so only, I know better one at other place.

Then try to camwhore a bit but always failed and took a lot of shot. The whole night street, it’s just keep flashing, flashing and flashing, everyone was like looking at us and I didn’t care and we were in the middle of the road. LOL.

Take 1: Failed, because no Chai Wei.

Take 2: Failed, because Chai Wei’s face was too big and Andy was out.

Take 3: Failed, because Chai Wei didn’t look at the lens.

Take 4: Failed because Andy out of focus a bit and Chai Wei was out again.

Take 6: Passed (a bit). ALL IN!

Happy new year. Haha

Went to AEON Jusco Seberang Prai City

AEON Jusco Seberang Prai City is actually a shopping mall on the mainland of Penang. I think it’s pretty new, like opened few years back only and it’s big. Always wanted to go check it out but didn’t really get a chance, dad always forgotten to bring us go so this time I went with Alvin, Arron, Chien Chern and Tee Jin while we were at Butterworth during the holidays.

I actually accompanied them to check out a job interview. Then after the job thing, we got no where to go, so we hop on one of the Rapid Penang bus which took us to the AEON Jusco Seberang Prai City mall.

I’ve forgotten to note the bus number but it’s pretty easy to get on. At the Penang Sentral, also the bus terminal on the mainland, just check out bus that has place list with Jusco and that’s it. Get on for almost a 45 minutes trip to reach there.

Nice building. What’s that?

Not near, it’s pretty far, but I believe you can reach faster if you drive there. Consult Google Maps on how-to. That’s what I always do. While on the bus, we passed a lot of kampungs, small padi fields, a lot of trees and many unknown sub-urban place.

We saw the AEON mall in sight and press for bell to alight. The mall is almost the same like the one that I’ve visited in Johor Bahru, the AEON Jusco Tebrau City.

It’s long inside, shop lots are big, they keep on saying it’s like Queensbay Mall and there’s only 3 floors with quite many standard shops too.

LOLs.

The place is not bad, quite standard but something very scary is that it’s so quiet when we were there. It’s like one of the weekday in December and there’s only little little people. This place is built in a very ulu (suburban) place and nobody comes on weekday. Deserted a bit already.

After having afternoon tea slash lunch at there, we went out to find bus and go back to the ferry terminal. There’s food outlet there, but all expensive expensive and we were budget eater, so forced to eat at their food court, just same like the other Jusco food court like at Queensbay Mall.

Took the ferry back to Penang island. Island sweet island. ^^

Ferry Ride to Butterworth with Friends

During the holiday, I went to Butterworth with a few friends via the ferry instead of using the Penang’s Bridge. I don’t really always go to the mainland of Penang, it’s mostly factories at there, so nothing much for me to go over there. I tend to stick to the island more. However, that day was different, my friend went there to interview for a job and I followed along just for fun.

New place in town, Bar 36 The Social Club.

We parked our car at the parking lot near the ferry terminal and then went to the ferry. The parking was RM3 for half day and the ferry ride was free for going to the mainland. Ferry ride coming to the island need to pay though.

The weather on that day was pretty nice, not very sunny, a little bit cloudy.

Quiet ferry.

Saw a Star Cruise Virgo cruise ship near Swettenham Pier. Wish I can get on a cruise some days.

It’s very windy on the ferry. No idea how fast it’s moving on the sea, but I know it’s fast.

Many giraffe at the back.

We went there, looked for the job interview then took the bus to inner mainland to the AEON Jusco Seberang Jaya shopping mall to take a look. Then we went back to the ferry terminal before sunset. It’s so convenient.

No Touch N’ Go. It’s very manual, only accept coin and it’s RM1.60 for the trip back.

Alvin.

It’s us.

KOMTAR and George Town city!

Car deck.

Remember this photo?

Quite fun, pun. ^.^

Red Box Karaoke Right After Last Paper of SPM 2009

Yes yes, it’s again, we went to Red Box karaoke after the last paper of SPM examination of 2009. That’s what I usually do after finishing a school examination. This is a very standard stuff and why Red Box? Because in Penang, there’s only Red Box karaoke and I just get to know that Neway Karaoke will be opening soon at Queensbay Mall soon.

Jing Min playing with the Red Box people.

Our Chinese paper finished at 12.45pm that day, I went home to bath and got ready, then to Red Box with everyone. We were not the first SPM finisher, because fifth former who didn’t take Chinese paper had finished their SPM earlier.

Yiphing Dot Net.

Chai Wei, Vivian, Shan and Sheue Yen.

We have got the biggest room in Red Box which can have up to 20-25 people in the room and we have only got like 13 people.

Lek Jian, Me, Theresa, Hui Mei, Liang Sun.

It’s not only us that went to Red Box, many people went there too on that day and I believe most of them are same like me, just finished their SPM, taking a break.

Priscilla.

It’s not too many people in the room, it’s too many people came to Red Box on that day, people came in and our, “hi and bye”, very hard to communicate and interact with everyone.

Lek Jian, Valen, Jia Wei, Yi Jun and me.

Most important are still did I sing or not? Yes I did and enjoyed the singing, a lot. The Penang’s Plurkers had a room there too, I went there to say hi, sang a few songs and went back to my place. Hard to be at multiplace. I wish I can divide my body. Haha.

Zi Wei.

Karaoke finished, I went home. Marked the end of SPM, the end of Form 5 life. That’s fast.

Christmas Celebrationg for the Elderly at Rumah Charis

I am kind of back to Leo Club activities after being hiatus for many many months because of very stressful SPM examination. Although I’ve been retired from the post of First Vice President of the club, yet I still enjoy their activities and outings.

Boon Yan, the co-organizer.

I was in the Leo Club of Chung Ling High School, my name is still in their name list and I will be moving to a new Leo Club which is for those above 18 years old. Anyhow, I still like my old Leo Club of Chung Ling High School, all of the juniors are friendly and funny.

Me with the Japanese Youth Exchange student and Chien Ming.

Talking back about the recent activity that happened on the Christmas week, the Leo Clubs organized a Christmas visit to an old folks home far away in Relau, the name is Rumah Charis.

I went there once early last last year but that time was on a chartered bus and this time I was on my own. I tried to Google Maps the place but I can’t find it. So with a little image left in my mind, I tried to feel my way around when I am at Relau. It’s actually not very hard to go afterall and the Google Maps need to be updated.

Tict Chyn.

Stanley.

We have got our in-house santa class and santa girl with us that day, they gave out little kids to the elderly and keep saying “Hohoho, Merry Christmas”, that’s the only thing they said.

We also have our in-house beatboxer, Wallace who is only 17 years old and can beatbox like pro. Very cool.

We sang Christmas song, prepared some food for their tea time and had some entertaining games for them. The games were like mini bowling with bottles and a ball and puzzle games.

Wan Pei’s cool poses.

Washing the plates.

I wonder did our visit does good for them or not. They are probably been dumped by their family at there, looking at their face, it looked like they have not been visited by people for a long time too. Our visit may made them miss home. Hope they had fun. =D
