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. ^^

Found Beng Tian at a Computer Store

Still remember Beng Tian? If you do read my blog from long ago, like since when I was Form 4, you will always see this person appear in my blog post. He is Beng Tian. Few days ago, I found him working at a computer store at Midland Park.

Don’t you think the uniform is very LOL?

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. ^.^

Christmas Day 09 at Jelutong Seafront Promenade, Nautilus Bay

Last year’s Christmas Day was special and very spontaneous. I woke up in mid morning and I have nothing to do, just surf the net and watch the TV. Initially, I thought of going to Penang Times Square at around 2pm after lunch to check out the Leo Club’s activity.

I went to find Chen Yuen and Chai Wei to go along, and when we were at Penang Times Square, there’s a long queue for carpark, which made me change my mind not to go there. I hate waiting for car park, it’s very very long.

We then spontaneously think of a place to go. The first stop was the Jelutong Seafront Promenade at Nautilus Bay, very unfamiliar name. I found this name on Google. =) It’s the seafront promenade at Bandar Sri Pinang, the four pillars standing high are the place’s sign.

We actually went there just for fun. No idea where to go and it’s not planned. Just got down, walked and took photos for a while then we hopped back on to the car and go to somewhere else.

The afternoon was pretty hot but the place was very windy because it’s seaside, though we didn’t stay long at there.

Chai Wei.

Chen Yuen.

There’s people fishing.

Nice view of the Penang’s Bridge.

I have got Christmas hat and I wore it the whole day! I realized most people here wear the Christmas hat on Christmas eve only, why so little people wear on Christmas Day?

Christmas Eve Night at Gurney Drive

Don’t know why so many people like to gather on the street of Gurney Drive on Christmas Eve night. On 2009’s Christmas Eve, I was there a while before going to the cinema to catch the premiere of Jay Chou’s The Treasure Hunter which is not really a good to watch.

There’s fighting and spraying of police’s vehicles the year before and they ban the selling and using of artificial snow flakes spray. I did not see any people selling it but I still see people having it on hair, only started spraying it when the countdown hits 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The news came back again, there’s some young gangster got up a fight with the police and RELA member. That’s really OMG, I missed the show because I was in cinema and I also don’t want to be involve. Not interested in sprays now.

Many friends tell me that this year’s Christmas Eve at Gurney Plaza and Gurney Drive was boring. Is it? I didn’t really know about it, I found my Christmas Eve quite interesting, even at Gurney Drive was fun because we were joking and talking all the way while waiting for the movie time.

Maybe they don’t get to spray people (a lot), so it’s boring. The stage at the alfresco area of Gurney Plaza was pretty rocking too, I saw many people were like partying at there.

Not bad what. Just I didn’t really like the Tresure Hunter, the movie was pretty lame and I don’t like the story. It’s just for Jay Chou and Lin Zhi Ling’s fans.

Farewell for Liang Sun Who Goes To National Service

Liang Sun, a friend, a classmate of mine has went to the National Service for 3 months, he departed today to the camp at Sungai Bakap in Bukit Mertajam. He will be gone for 3 months and they had farewell dinner for him at Queensbay the night before.

To tell you guys a secret, I have been chosen for National Service too, but then I am not allocated in the first batch and I don’t know is there will be any circumstances preventing me to go for the National Service or not. I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know.

I had my dinner before I went to Queensbay Mall because I know all the restaurant in Queensbay Malll are not budget restaurant and I am on tight budget recently because of jobless and less allowance and no schooling.

So basically it’s just everyone come out together, they eat, we talk and I take photos. =) Nothing much, just to say bye bye. I can’t imagine if I leave my friends and family, it will be very very very the sad I guess.

National Service need to have a bald head, so Liang Sun was prepared for it. Some people prefer to have their hair cut at the camp.

See you Liang Sun in 3 months time, perhaps during homecoming when Chinese New Year!

Ok, good night for now.

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
