    Good Morning Penang! Sunrise From Gurney Drive

    Good Morning Penang! Sunrise From Gurney Drive – Woke up, shot the sunrise spontaneously, and sleep back again. Good morning! Noon reaching in half an hour time. Hehe.

    It’s weekend already and I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend ahead. Sunrise is pretty, though the muddy and dry area at Gurney Drive’s seashore is an eyesore. Come on people, let’s do something on the muddy area on Gurney Drive, bring back the glory and beauty of Gurney Drive like in the 80’s.

    Do you know that there’s actually a sandy beach in Gurney Drive back then? Sea turtles did actually come here to lay their eggs.

  • Char Koay Teow For Breakfast At Perak Road Market

    Char Koay Teow For Breakfast At Perak Road Market

    Char Koay Teow For Breakfast At Perak Road Market

    Char Koay Teow For Breakfast At Perak Road Market – After eating the famous Penang Hokkien Prawn Mee at Perak Road (Jalan Perak Pasar) Market, I realised there’s still space in the stomach, not feeling very full, and so I ordered a plate of Char Koay Teow to share with my friends.

    It does looks pretty with a 3 shrimps in it, nicely fried with chilli sauce, and a few slices of Chinese sausage as well as beansprout. The experience with it was not the best, it’s not dry enough in my opinion as the “wok hei” 锅气, the heat / power of the frying wok was not strong enough.

    After all, it does fill up my stomach well, not a bad char koay teow, just a SO-SO typical char koay teow to me, I want something drier, hotter, a little bit more spicy, more beansprout and it will be perfect.

  • Famous Perak Road Market Hokkien Prawn Mee

    Famous Perak Road Market Hokkien Prawn Mee

    Famous Perak Road Market Hokkien Prawn Mee – When I write “famous” on my title, it means it’s famous and many people knows about it. The Hokkien Prawn Mee at the Perak Road Wet Market is really famous as every morning, many people wait for take away as well as eat at there. The stall owners are always seen as busy taking order and preparing the delicious Penang food, the Hokkien Prawn Mee.

    Located in the wet market of Perak Road, which cannot be seen on main road, this Hokkien Mee stall is well-known in the area and it’s also known as Ah Keong Hokkien Mee. Besides selling Hokkien Mee, it also includes Lor Mee in the menu.

    I went there for breakfast with my Penang friends, ordered 5 bowls of beehoon and mee combination and then look for a place to sit. It’s not easy to find a open table as it’s always occupied, especially on weekends’ morning. Waited 15 minutes and the famous prawn noodle finally came.

    Presentation of the noodle does not look pretty, yet I spotted little shrimp in it and the soup does indeed look tempting. At only RM2.80 per bowl for a medium size (RM2.50 for small and RM3.20 for big), it’s a good portion of breakfast for me. Though, there’s still extra space for food.

    Prawn noodle is always about the soup. The soup makes it deliciously good in the mouth with an adequate amount of prawn taste, not too over, yet not too light. The additional chilli paste add an extra spicy sense into the soup which makes it perfect. Somehow, shrimps were too little to make it a perfect bowl of Penang Hokkien Prawn Mee.

    Overall, I will come back for it, if I have plenty of time to wait. Take away might be faster than eating there by the way. Try not to complain or re-ask about your order as this will make the owner frustrated and she will be talking this and that back.

    Good Morning My Penang Friends – It’d been a while that I didn’t meet up with them, the friends that I used to mix with before I go to college last year, they are the people that I have been together for the 3 months holiday after high school a year ago.

    Now, I am back for holiday and it’s time to meet up and talk and eat and crap!

    A Morning Walk At Pulau Tikus Market
    #1: Pasar Pulau Tikus – Pulau Tikus Market

    A Morning Walk At Pulau Tikus Market – Pulau Tikus Market is one of the market that’s close to my place and mom is a frequent visitor of that market. On a fine Saturday morning two weeks back, I went there with mom for breakfast and accompany her to buy some stuff. I never know that there’s a hidden hawker stalls located at the back of the market and has a variety of local Penang food.

    It’s not a big one but then, it’s enough to cater daily market visitor and I had Hokkien And Lor Mixed Noodle for breakfast. Simply delicious and good. Then it’s started to rain, which makes eating breakfast chilling and nice. Mom said it’s pretty hot on normal day at there.

    After breakfast, mom wanted to buy some stuff and so I followed along, turned on my camera and put my finger on the shutter button, and started snapping away. It was late morning and there’s stall started to pack up for the day and go home to get some rest after a long morning of work. On the other hand, there’s still people coming in to do some last minute buying of vegetable and meat before lunch time arrives.

    It’d been raining quite a lot in Penang for the past few weeks and it’s still raining much now. Though, in Klang Valley here is quite humid and hot lately.

    If were to compare this to other more famous market like the Chowrasta Market and the Cecil Street Market, the Pulau Tikus Market is indeed smaller in size, but somehow, it’s still serves the local around the area that with you can find almost everything you need at there.


    #11: Selling fruits in the alley.


    #12: A girl waiting.


    #13: The coffee shop that’s suppose to fill with people did not open on that day.


    #14: Couple walking along the road.

    There’s also quite a few numbers of coffee shop around the area too!

     

     

  • Blue Sky Day In Taylor’s University

    Blue Sky Day In Taylor's University

    Blue Sky Day In Taylor’s University – Another post of Taylor’s University, guess I’ll let the photo speaks instead. Took my Panasonic LX5 to school last week instead of my Canon DSLR and here are my shots that I have taken. It was a nice morning with big blue sky.

    I really love blue sky as it gives more color to the day and life. I knew that when it’s near to year end, the sky is getting bluer. It makes taking photos fun and nice too!

    Everyday I park at a far place – the free parking zone and take a nice morning walk to school. It’s nice to walk when it’s not raining and sunny, it’s nice to walk on the tar road, but not the rocky road.

    That morning, I aw the playful goose walking around the carpark. Why I said they are playful because they don’t want to stay in the water and intrude human’s territory in the campus. Haha. They really make the whole Taylor’s University home, enjoying every part of the school which is comfortable to them.


    Reading about Taoism in class and I still don’t really understand the religion.


    Steve Pang acting emo. =D


    Loving every part of my MacBook Pro but one cons is that it’s making my back ache as it’s heavy! And its not really good for interior design studio because of software limitation.


    See the traffic jam at 6pm! The whole school is stuck with traffic.

    Campus life so far so good for me, just I kinda miss home at the moment and lots of assignment. Haha.

     

     

  • Last Thursday In Taylor’s University

    Last Thursday In Taylor’s University

    Thursday is both nice and not-so-nice day because Thursday is near to weekend, so it’s nice, but on the other hand, it’s a tiring day as my class started early in the morning till late evening. And all the classes are in a continuous manner with just a little break in between for lunch.

    I am getting myself to suit with the parking system at Taylor’s University. Ever since Taylor’s University started collect RM3 for the parking at the basement and the one nearer to the campus, I have to park my car at the so-called “Taylor’s Rocky Parking Area” which you can see in photo above. Every time I reached school, the whole parking area is almost full and I have to park until the end of the parking area, which is about 500-700m walking distance? It’s good to walk in the morning, but imagine rain and Sunny afternoon. Why don’t they just built a sheltered walkway for students. What a noob management of the school that is being inconsiderate.

     

    First class of the day is the CAD (Computer Aided Design) class which I am learning about AutoCAD. I love functioning and playing with the computer, but so far, nothing much powerful have been learned. The lecturer is being slow at the moment. Hmm. I need some speed up to learn something more powerful. Catching up news and Facebook are something I would do during the CAD class, I believe everyone too. =D

     

    Later then is the boring Moral Education class, which is a compulsory subject for the Malaysian students. What’s wrong with the Ministry Of Education? We have done 11 years of moral education, and now we are doing it again in college/university. One of our project for this Moral Education is to do a total 16 hours of community service. Sounds cool. Though, I have no idea where to service in Petaling Jaya / Klang Valley, any recommendation?

     

    Sad that this class has not many people, that’s not so fun as I couldn’t meet some new friends from other courses. I wish I have module that mix with other courses, but too bad, there’s none for me. It’s not to the point of real university style yet. My course is just like high school, where my class is still the same, my class until graduate.

     

    Lunch was really suck as I had no appetite that noon and nothing at the Recezz food court amaze me. Everything is just so-so, even the Curry Chicken Noodle that I once like went lousy already. Sigh. Things get bored when there’s no pork, seriously. It’s so halal. However, I have a recent like that are the I Love Yoo porridge and the Yong Tau Fu with rice in my campus. =D

     

     

    Drop by the library for a while to print some stuff. The school still haven’t credit me the printing money for this semester! &%$#%*(## Damn, it’d been half a month since new semester started. I need my money to print!

     

    Had my Design Studio class at a room called the Print Room. No idea what that means by it’s my first time attending class at such nice room with an awesome view of the lake. I believe the room belongs to the Graphic Design student. No idea why were we there.


    Anna, Nita and Arowa. All foreigner, one from Belarus, one from Indonesia, one from Saudi Arabia.

    The class was rather OK for that day as nothing much I have done for the hotel room design. First project of the semester is designing a Royal Thai Style VIP Suite. It’s pretty challenging for me as Thai style is very complicated and I am a minimalist, modernistic person. Haha.


    Instax Mini 25! Brought it to school to shoot shoot. Though, nothing much to shoot. Haha.

    Class ended a little bit earlier and so, me, Wesley and Jia Hui went to the lakeside for a seat to pass time and enjoy the breeze and view. Suddenly feel that the school was so relaxing and good, too bad this is Malaysia, and it is warm and humid. Lakeside relaxing is only fun when it’s near to evening and after a rain, or perhaps a cloudy day.

     

    The weather was nice that day and it rain later when I attended another class called the Building Construction class. Later that night, I went to watch movie and tour the night market. What a tiring Thursday. Haha.

     

     

  • Random Shots At Heong Giam Si Temple

    Haha, it’s another post about temple and I did not purposely go to this temple to take photos. It’s actually I brought my camera with me during this visit to the temple with mom to pay a memorial visit to the late grandma of my dad.

    Heong Giam Si Temple, located near to the state mosque (Masjid Negeri) at Air Itam there is actually a memorial hall which houses people’s ancestor’s tablets.

    It rained during our visit and it was quite a heavy rain. I took out my camera and go for some shots.

    And after the rain, blue sky came. =D

    What a random post.

    Photos taken by Canon EOS 60D and Tamron 17-50mm f2.8.

  • Hazy Penang And Gurney Drive

    Hazy weather had intruded Penang again which ugly-fied the view of the beautiful Penang. The hazy weather have been around for a few days already. Everyday I wake up, I tried to look out the balcony to look for a clear blue sky but the haze disappointed me.

    It’s not clear out there. It’s blurish. It’s not fog, it’s haze, it’s warm and it’s smelly. Industrial waste and forest burning are causing this and we can’t really do anything about it. I believe Beijing is in fact more worse than us. Haha.

    Luckily, the heavy downpour which happened in the afternoon cleared the sky for some time. So, yay!

    Hopefully, it’s big blue sky again so I can go out and take more photos! =D This post is so random. Haha.

  • Hong Kong: North Point and Central 香港北角与中环

    Hong Kong: North Point and Central 香港北角与中环

    Let’s go to Hong Kong now shall we? =D Almost forgotten that I have many photos to share with you during my Hong Kong trip few months back. Hong Kong is indeed a lovely place that I wouldn’t feel bored after visiting for so many times. In this post, I will bring you to Central from North Point.

    Central 中环 in Hong Kong is the CBD (Central Business District) and have various high rise office building and shopping malls too! And North Point 北角 was the place I stayed during my trip in Hong Kong. Hehe.

    Because of cheap fare (HK$2 to everywhere) and want to sightseeing early in the morning, we took the tram connected straight to Central. It’s pretty nice to take the tram with cool weather out there and you can see the city slowly. It was around 10am and we wanted to go Central to “Yum Cha” which literally means drinking tea, but actually is to look for dim sum breakfast. I found out that there’s a very old and famous Hong Kong dim sum tea house.

    After alighting the tram, we tried to look for the place to the dim sum tea house. No one of us actually been there before, we walked there with the guide of Google Maps. Luckily I’ve got a Hong Kong SIM card on my iPhone. =)

    Central area is really pretty because of the huge office towers and old Hong Kong – British architecture. People in suits and OL walking everywhere, it’s really a busy place and I like it. =D

    The morning Hong Kong is so pretty. I just couldn’t resist myself from pressing the camera shutter. I wanted to capture every bit of the place to keep in my photo album and share with you guys. The Hong Kong city is just so beautiful.

    Hong Kong is too densely populated already. CBD is not really CBD, there’s still people living around that area, rich and poor; wet market and groceries store. You can see all walk of life at there too. The Hong Kong culture is really strong. People are walking everywhere, every alley, it’s people all the time and walking.

    I wonder why construction site in Hong Kong are so pretty. They are so colourful that I want to take photos of them. Unlike the one at here are so dull and boring.

    After 20 minutes of walking, we found the dim sum tea house, Lin Heung Lao 莲香楼. It’s just so crowded and there’s not even a spot to sit. We waited for 10 minutes and there’s no people moving out of their seat. The waiter told us that whenever some one get up, we must go to sit down, but then it’s just hardly get 4 people seats together. And in the end, we decided not to eat at there and eat at the opposite.

    It’s so much better. =D
