Chung Ling Dragon Boat Tragedy Memorial

It has been two week since the Chung Ling Dragon Boat Tragedy passed. My school lost a teacher, and 5 student and I lost a friend. I know that we have to move on from now, although the thing is still in my and our head, still we have to move on, life goes on from now. Anyhow, it’s still a sad thing.

Yesterday, the school had a memorial event in the school hall. I wanted to go, but I was stuck in a traffic jam because of Thaipusam festival. When I arrived in school, the whole school was quiet, and it was almost the end of the memorial.

It was playing a video clips of the lates, and it’s a very emo moment, tears dropped down once again. Still feeling and thinking, WHY?

Some says that they shouldn’t have this memorial event because it was getting forgotten in the mind and almost move on with life, but this thing has caused emotional breakdown once again.

There’s student, families, teachers, alumni, and people from the press.

Everyone in the hall paid a last respect before dismissing. We will always miss you. >.<

Short Visit to Hard Rock Hotel

Yay! I’ve finally been to the Hard Rock Hotel at Batu Ferringhi, Penang! It’s my first time but it’s not an official visit. Why? Because I didn’t stay long at there and didn’t take many photos. Was planning to go somewhere else with Jin Xin and Huan Sheng that night, passed by Hard Rock Hotel so went in to take a look.

Although didn’t take many photos, I can now tell people that I’ve been there before already.

Let’s carry this Be@rbrick home.

The interior really rocks, many things to see and have live band playing live music at the lobby. My friend told me that the live band in Hard Rock cafe rocks more than the one in the lobby, but still, they were awesome.

Just one sad thing is that Hard Rock Cafe is only open for above 21, and I am only 17, going 18 soon! There’s one trick and that is eating dinner at there before the live band starts and stay in the cafe till the band is here. Then you’ll pass the ID check. Didn’t try before though.

Lights on my ass. LOL.

What rocks the most is the fibre optic lights at the main entrance. The color keep changing and it shows the Hard Rock logo. Prettyful! =D

Me and Jin Xin.

Find one fine day, I’m gonna go there again, to take many many photos, of course, it will be when my broken lens came back from service and thanks Huan Sheng for the photos. =)

That Day At Farlim Pasar Malam Saw This Sarawak Guy

I went shopping at Farlim’s weekly night market last week with mom. It’s so crowded, so dusty because of the sand, and so many things to see but I have got nothing to buy. Mom bought a lot of clothes but not me, I saw some cool stuff too, but I prefer buying it in the mall.

While I was accompanying mom shopping, I hear people talking through the microphone, in Hokkien. It sounded like there’s street show going on, so curiosity, I went to check it out.

I then saw many people gather around and see a guy talking stuff and stories.

This guy claimed he came from Sarawak and he talked really a lot lot lot. He said there will be something special to be shown after his talking, I was there waiting and waiting until I got inpatient and walked away. Haha, really can’t wait for him to finish his talking, because he just has got too many things to talkabout.

Till then, I don’t really know what he sells, I think is some sort of Sarawak herbs medicine.

Last Sunday at Chowrasta Market

It’s the time for a yearly visit to Chowrasta Market in town. Every year, when close to Chinese New Year, mom sure bring me to Chowrasta Market for a walk. I also like going there because there’s many people, very happenings, I like!

Why before Chinese New Year? I also don’t know why, maybe there’s more Chinese New year-related stuff to see at there I think.

Woke up pretty early that morning, at around 8am, freshing up took me 1 hour then arrived there at around 93oam. There’s already many people there when I was there.

Oranges are healthy! You like? I only like orange juice.

I went to have breakfast at there, it was a plate of wan tan noodle and it’s not nice, wrong stall I went.

Selling glasses.

Thailand! Shirt.

After that just walkaround with mom and dad.

The most crowded stalls are the stalls that sell clothes, many ladies gathered and pick their favourite. Although there’s no fitting room, clothes bought can be exchange after you find it not suitable. Cool right?

Though, pasar malam (night market) have more fashion stuff then morning market, morning market is more about meat and vegetable.

Soya milk.

Very old fashion type of buying fish. Dad told me last time when he was small, he buys fish in this way and till today, it’s the same.

Chinese New Year stuff.

One very stupid thing is, I don’t know why people want to drive into this crowded street. It’s market and full of people in the morning, they knew it and they still want to move it, mindless. The state authority should road block the place during the market hour.

Mom.

Kitchen stuff.

Rock World yeah!

Do you visit your local market? Is it more interesting than this or not? =)

A While at Kuan Yin Temple

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.

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?

Dragon Boat Sadness, Good Luck

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.

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

Back From Hospital 2 Days Ago, SUCKS

Two day Thailand trip, a lot of Thai spicy and sour and delicious food, many tomyam and seafood, then I fell sicked. Life sucks man. It’s not just sick, it’s very sick until I have to suffer in the hospital. I came back home with a fever, took paracetamol, went to bed then wake up still hot. Then I rested whole day at home and it got even hotter at night and as high as 39 degree cel and I had to go to the hospital, I was afraid of dengue or H1N1.

So sad that they admitted me in. I had not only fever but also diarrhea. I suspected food poisoning but doctor never mentioned a word about food poisoning.

One night passed, body cool down but still abnormal and that’s really WTF and FML because doctor wanted me to stay for another night in the hospital to monitor. Hate it so much. It’s so boring, and not comfortable with the pack of glucose going into a needle into my blood, the not-nice-sleep at night, the lousy food, the lousy Internet connection and the small TV. Bad bad bad.

Mom brought me the laptop but only get to go online for a while because the Internet connection very lousy. Always disconnected one and need to wait a while only can reconnect again.

Anyway, still have to thanks Yiphing, Arron, Chien Chern, Tee Jin, Alvin, Wei Chung, Yong Chieh and Fang Juinn came to find me and talk or else I will be bored till knock on the wall. Time passes very slowly at there, you can’t imagine how slow it is.

I also want to thank my daddy and mommy keep on coming by too, else I will be so lonely. Hehe.

On the second night, I keep on praying that my shit turn saturated and no more hotness for my body. I want saturated shit and no more diarrhea, it’s really suck if it continues. Luckily, everything turned good in the next morning.

The only thing was I didn’t really got a good night sleep. I slept pretty late because I couldn’t fell asleep and the stupid nurse wake me up at 7.30am and asked me not to sleep, saying the doctor will be here soon. WTF, the doctor only came by at around 10am. So shit man.

Doctor discharged me and I need to wait for the bill and medication for another 2 hours in the hospital room. Bored till……. I am so fine now and I advise you to take care of yourself, everyone. =) Hospital sucks.
