  • Hard Rock Hotel And Beach With NS Friends

    Hard Rock Hotel And Beach With NS Friends

    This is part of my Penang trip with Hornet (the squadron I was in during National Service) NS friends. Many of them were not from Penang island so I was so glad to bring them around and this Hard Rock Hotel visit was during the last day of our 3 days Penang trip.

    Very surprise that Chuan, Khang and Weng who was from the mainland Penang didn’t know about Hard Rock, the name. They were pretty excited of visiting the hotel for the first time. This was not my first time, 2nd or 3rd already, but this should be my first proper visit with friends of that many people, and during the day time.

    No idea what event or gathering was there. There were so many BMW cars with Singapore’s plate at the hotel.

    It’s just like a museum or galleria full or artwork, artist’s costume, guitars and many many more. I like going there although I have already been there before, inside is really pretty and cool.

    For the first time, I went to the swimming pool area because normally it’s close during night time and there’s a saying that this is the longest swimming pool in Penang. And swimming in the pool need to have a tag on the wrist just like going to a theme park.

    So nice seeing the kids playing water, there’s slide too, which reminds me back when I was small and I so wish I could get into the pool at there. Before getting into the pool, I need to get a room there! You see, there’s room right in front of the swimming pool, damn cool man. It’s like can get into the pool anytime you want.

    It was almost sunset, but it’s very hot and I was sweating like crazy.

    Out of the pool is the beach. The beach is for everyone and it’s so happenings and so many people playing by the beach. Water sports, sand castle, swimming, horse riding, para sailing and so much more to play!

    I wanna try para sailing so badly, it seems like so fun to be in the air!

    We thought, why not our Penang trip’s accommodation be at Hard Rock Hotel? The simple reason, $! It’s expensive, and hopefully someone would sponsor me to stay at there, for a night or two. One night should be cool already. Hehe.

    Took many photos and Hard Rock Hotel rocks. I am still looking for Hard Rock’s t-shirt with Batu Ferringhi or Penang printed on it. Have anyone seen it at the night market already? I am so not going into the Hard Rock gift shop. Hehe.

  • PLKN Experience: MacBook Pro and Photo Booth In Camp

    PLKN Experience: MacBook Pro and Photo Booth In Camp

    On a lovely 3rd Sunday of Kumpulan 2, Siri 7, 2010 in Kem PLKN White Resort, Balik Pulau, two guys who were already gone came back to the camp. Balbinder Singh and Eu Chuen.

    It’s a Sunday and as usual, I would be in the hall (they called it Dewan Rajawali) from morning until afternoon. I love being in the hall on Sunday because it’s family visiting day and my parents would come and visit me, bring food, bring laptop and camera for me to play with. I don’t like to stay inside the dorm and sleep, it’s Sunday, I need some fresh air and bright light. Dorm is dull.

    It’s still early that day, around 930am, I was just preparing myself to go the hall to check out who’s family or friends were there. I am weird, I like to see who came to visit them. Haha. As for my parents, they would probably come around noon time. It’s kinda surprise to see Singh and Eu Chuen came back to the camp a week after they had left. They made deferment because they were going to college, and they came back on a surprise visit. Nice!

    Eu Chuen, Izzi and Khang.

    Now only I know that there’s an Apple fan in camp and quite a geek too. Eu Chuen brought along his gadget, the MacBook Pro, planning to online at there but somehow the WIFI couldn’t work on that day. So I played a little with my favourite Mac app, Photo Booth. Hehe. Feel a little bit sad for Chuen because he bought his MacBook Pro few weeks before NS and the new revision came out a few week after NS. Apple really release stuff on a surprise. Still, it’s cool. I want one too!

    Balbinder Singh.

    Singh, a mixed of Chinese and Singh came all the way from Taiping and was staying at Eu Chuen’s place. Chuen brought him to camp and they stayed until afternoon.

    Sunday is always the best day because I can skip breakfast and wake up a little bit late at 745am, then there’s mom and dad, there’s lot of food and a lot of talking. We talk from morning until afternoon! Yeah.

    Wondering what’s Englbear? I am kinda addicted to Celcom Blue Bears. Each country is represented by a bear, like England is Englbear, Germany is Bearmany and so on. The Blue Bears are doing big on the World Cup, so if you are a World Cup fan, you should check out the bears.

  • Away to PLKN (Day 39): 5SA1 Gathering and Farewell For My NS

    Away to PLKN (Day 39): 5SA1 Gathering and Farewell For My NS

    Seems like among the peeps that attend the gathering, it’s only me that go to NS. I requested for a gathering and a farewell for me before going to NS on 25 March 2010. Because Ee Teng who went to Singapore came back too, we had the 5SA1 class of 2009 of Chung Ling High School gathering at Jin Jie’s house.

    Although not everyone can attend, I am still happy there’s still people around. You know, after high school, everyone busy with their own things and very hard to get together. Got 10 person can consider many already.

    We first gathered at Jin Jie’s house to wait everyone to arrive. Then we walked to the coffee house to had our dinner. After that walked to another coffee house to eat Chinese desserts. Yummy!

    Of course, with so many boys together, it’s talking and eating only. Actually gatherings are always like that only. Nothing much.

    Satays!

    When we got back to his house, there’s satay bought by Jin Jie’s dad. Delicious and we talk again. Everyone was like talking different topic, some talk about studies, some talk about girls, some talk about games and some were gambling. LOL. Chinese New Year is over already.
