  • Hueisean and Friends at Kek Lok Si Temple

    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.

    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. =)

  • Malacca Trip: Afternoon Walkaround Jonker Walk / Jalan Hang Jebat

    Malacca Trip: Afternoon Walkaround Jonker Walk / Jalan Hang Jebat

    The above photo is actually the Tang’s House which was the guesthouse that we stayed in. Very good service, good room and good rate at only RM55 for two bed room. It’s just located at the end of the famous Jonker Walk which also known as Jalan Hang Jebat and there’s a parking area at RM2 per full day, great!

    We couldn’t check in because we were too early, so left our stuff there and went for a walk to look for lunch on the famous Jonker Walk.


    Nice Jonker Boutique Hotel.


    A temple on Jonker Street.


    Some rehearsal going on.

    The weather that day was as usual, hot, no rain. If there’s little drizzle would be perfect but no. It’s freaking hot and I regretted not bring an umbrella with me. We just try to walk where there’s shade to cover ourselves from the sun. Haha. Perspiration got out pretty soon we walked for about 5 minutes.


    Pineapple tart! =)

    Though, it’s still nice checking the place out and taking photos.

    Jonker Walk is famous for its night market which happens on weekends night and we came in a right time because it’s a Friday. Although it’s only happenings at night, but then there’s still shops to shop for stuff like t-shirt, and souvenirs which you will find it the same at the night market.


    <3 Hueisean.

    This is an old street featuring all the heritage shop houses built during the British and Dutch colony and this is more like a Chinatown to Malacca because long long time ago, this street was inhabitat by Chinese mostly. I like how they decorate and preserve the shop houses, unlike Penang, it’s so run down and ugly. Malacca really work hard on preserving their old buildings now.


    A garden in the middle of the street, to be exact, house a public toilet in it.

    Besides that, you will find a lot of antique shops and also clan house for different Chinese’s surname at there. It’s all gather at one place and not spreaded out like Penang, maybe because of this place is small. Malacca is really a super small state.

    It’s pretty quiet during the day, but then when it comes to night, you can’t imagine how happenings it is, but on weekend only. I hope there’s place like this in Penang too, perhaps Campbell Street? Sadly, the Penang’s government haven’t take initiative in working this out.

    Remember, it’s best to bring along an umbrella or wear a hat, it’s for the hot weather, super hot. =)

    And finally we found famous chicken rice ball at the other end of Jonker Walk, which is known to be the start of it, but then that chicken rice ball (Jonker Chicken Rice Ball) was not a nice one. Recommend to try Hor Kee or Farmosa Chicken Rice Ball.

    After lunch. We went to walk around the Dutch Square. Don’t want go back to the guesthouse just to check-in, so we went checking around the places before going back so it won’t waste our leg energy. Haha.

  • Another Hard Rock Hotel Visit, Again, With Hueisean

    Another Hard Rock Hotel Visit, Again, With Hueisean

    OMG, it’s Hard Rock Hotel again. If you are a frequent visitor to my blog, you might already seen a few post about my visit to Hard Rock Hotel, Penang. Haha. Sorry lah, just sharing my life and it’s true that I went there again. I am kinda like a fan of Hard Rock Hotel, ‘s toilet.

    If I do go to Batu Ferringhi to shop at the night market or to eat, and I wanted to go to the toilet to pee or shit, I will look for Hard Rock Hotel, so damn awesome. I was actually on a short trip to Batu Ferringhi for fun with dearest Hueisean then I felt like going to the toilet, so Hard Rock Hotel we went.

    And that night, I brought my DSLR with me so it’s time to shoot shoot some photos and also enjoy some nice rocking live band music at the hotel lobby.

    It was two young boy, a boy was drumming and a boy was on guitar and vocal. I got to say, they were awesome, singing lot’s of nice pop tunes, entertaining hotel and non-hotel guest, like us. Haha.

    Then, it’s shoot shoot time of the sweet sweet girl.

    And here we go, I say good night from here. So late already.

     

  • Sit Ferry Go Raja Uda Eat Dinner

    Sit Ferry Go Raja Uda Eat Dinner

    On a lovely dating night, I went over to Raja Uda, Butterworth with Hueisean. It started getting bored with food in Penang and have decided to take the vehicle onto the ferry, ferrying from the island to the mainland to seek for alternative food.

    We were actually quite excited to dine at the famous tomyam noodle place on Jalan Raja Uda, unfortunately, both the famous stall didn’t open that night. I have to stop by the road side, go Google search where to eat.

    It was not my first ferry ride or 2nd or 3rd, it fifth or sixth I think. Haha. It’s not that excited anymore, but still I wanted to go down the car to take some snapshot so it could turn into a memory or something. It’s always full of car at every time of the day.

    Blah. Camwhore a bit.

    Then we reached Who’s Bryan Cafe at Raja Uda. =D

  • New Year Eve at Penang’s Straits Quay with Hueisean and Friends

    New Year Eve at Penang’s Straits Quay with Hueisean and Friends

    Well, New Year is here and today is the third day of the new 2011 year. Yoyoyo people, how you guys have been doing today? Today is also the first day of school, work and almost everything, but my college is starting in one more week time, so I still get some time to sit down and rest and sleep and eat. =)

    So, let’s talk about New Year’s Eve. Christmas’ Eve was a sick day for me as I fell sick and stayed at home to rest but for New Year’s Eve, I have recover from all kind of sickness and ready to rock the new year. I went to the latest seafront promenade in Penang, Straits Quay with my dearest one, Hueisean and her friend to countdown for new year.

    We actually want to dine at other place rather than at Straits Quay but due to scare of stuck in a massive countdown-fever-crazy traffic jam, we might as well just dine there and wait for countdown. Save petrol and also prevent from traffic jam.

    We arrived there at around 8.30pm and the carpark was already almost full and luckily I found a nice spot to park the car. A crowd of people were already walking at there.

    Unfortunately, it’s only restaurants and not many shops opened yet, so it’s only eating out and enjoying the live band by the sea. There’s quite many people at Straits Quay, probably due to people already fed up and boring with the usual countdown place like Gurney Plaza, Upper Penang Road and Queensbay Mall. With the opening of Straits Quay, it given another choice for people to countdown and hangout before the new year falls.

    One sad thing was that we spent almost half an hour to search for a right restaurant, some was too crowded and some was just offering “New Year” menu which is rather expensive, in the end, we spent another half an hour for queuing for Secret Recipe restaurant.

    After dinner, we just went to walk around the seafront. It’s people everywhere and it’s pretty hard to look for a nice spot to sit down. The centre stage where the performance are was too crowded with people and the place was really small, not a nice place to set up a stage. If it’s on the sea then it’s awesome. Haha.

    They even set up screen showing live action on the performance stage on both side of the quay. I think it’s kinda cool but I feel not many people would pay attention at it. One bad thing about that night was the weather was bad, it’s a wet night and it drizzle lightly once in a while.

    It’s not only Hueisean and friends that night, I also met some of my high school mate that night. It seems like many people came to Straits Quay that night.

    We photoshoot at there, see the girls camwhore, shoot here shoot there to pass time and wait for the countdown to arrive. One thing I got to say that the MC or DJ at there was not good enough, didn’t really bring up the atmosphere IMO. The countdown starts when we here 10, 9, 8 …

    And happy new year! The best part of the night was the fireworks, it’s not a very tall one but lovely fireworks by the sea. The beginning part was OK-good, and the ending was awesome. It lasted for several minutes, it’s not the best but still nice to me. People were like screaming and cheering at there.

    After the fireworks, it’s playing of some hot club tracks, blasting through the huge speaker. Above the Straits Quay are the residences and resident there probably didn’t get a good rest after the countdown. Haha. Spent some times at there then we went home already.

    My brother who is in New York right now wanted to countdown and see the ball drop at Times Square but due to the long wait from 3pm to 12am, he decided to spend the time somewhere else and went to play with snows at the Central Park. Seems cool right? He told me that one who went in Times Square must wait till night and not easy and probably not able to go the washroom because there’s no washroom! Woo.

    So, how did you celebrate your New Year’s Eve?
