Tumbs up for the Dudes~

Well I've recently noticed that I have loads of female readers and really lack of male ones. So I guess this would be a good posts to bring the males back in! NAH I'm just kidding. Anyways, I was in Penang weeks before and I was literally dumped by my friends at Queensbay Mall while they have to work on that day. SIGH!~



All I can say is that the mall is HUGE! It even made our Mid Valley, KLCC, Sunway Pyramid look like a regular Jaya Jusco Mall. Not to mention in Queensbay, they do have Jaya Jusco as well! hahaha. Security's so tight in there even till the extent when I wanna take some pictures inside they basically shoo-ed me off!

Well besides the point, As I was walking around there, I noticed a Fashion Show going on. It's a bridal world fashion show where all the models walking on stage wearing all sorts of beautiful bridal wear. HAH! Now I can show the guards that I still get to take my pictures. Well only of the show. So here goes~























You guys have enough?? Or you want some more? hahaha I guess I might as well continue. Just promise me that guys, you don't start oogling all over the pictures alright?






I must say, this girl is really pretty. And she's kind enough to post for me while I was taking her picture. Seriously, When you hold a DSLR camera, people will take you differently....very differently.



















Well I guess that's it I could and should share for now. I have plenty more though all in full size. Just let me know if you ever wanted them then I SHALL consider in sending them to you. LOL I'm kidding. I feel proud about myself that actually I CAN improve using DSLR! haha I was thinking since I have such shakey hands I might not be able to do good shots. Guess I proved myself wrong!

Why Is The Rum Gone?

Sixteen men on a dead man's chest...yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Me matey and I had a were supposed to have a night out together to try out our new prized possession. Pirate's choice RUM! It's a Rum I got from a treasure chest I found on a secluded island in the vast seas of the carribean (the internet =.=")

We brought the bottle and headed to our destinations to meet up with other of me mates, scourge of the bounding main to devour this vile liquid of haven. As we sat on your spanish galleon together getting ready for our feast of rum, we noticed the bottle had gone!

Me: Where is she? Shiver me timbers, it has been taken away!
Mate1: By the curse of Davey Jones, Our prize had been plundered from us!
Me: Let us set sail to find me bottle and get that blasted tinkerbell to pay for his sins!
Mate1 and Mate2: AYE!

As we sail across every corner of the carribean we searched long, we searched hard! After a long search, we finally foudn the black-hearted pirate who stole our stash! What we found? An empty bottle?!!

Me: ARGH!!! You little twit! Curse the mother of the black seas What have ye done?! Why is the Rum GONE?!!
Thief: Coz I drank it all you fool~
Me: ARGH! Dammit you're right....stupid question it is. Nevermind then....

Somehow this sounds so wrong and lame! LOL sounds more like desperation. Oh well, It was a request from nuffnang but was kept pushing by a blog friend of mine to post something up with Rum!! hahahaha

Food in Penang

These are the pictures I took on food that I had in Penang. Damn the food is good. Oh ya, This is my first time to Victoria Station as well. Apparently someone cursed me BABI HUTAN when I replied an SMS saying I'm eating there...




Tried the pic with flash on, obviously flash somehow sucks.


Much better eh with just appature without flash.


I ordered Victoria Steak and it's soooo goooooood....


The previous picture I took has my shadow in there so this is a better one.


The next day while my friend had to go work, I walked all the way to Bukit Jambul complex. I was so hungry yet I'm actually on a minor diet. No Carbohydrates!! So I went Coffee Bean for something light.




I ordered mocha ice blended. See no whipped cream as well.


And the ceaser salad I somewhat crave. Don't look much light ceaser salad but whatever you know? I was just too hunry to think.


Later that evening for dinner, My friend brought me to Queensbay Mall for dinner. A restaurant called Breeks. Queensbay Mall is sooo Huge! bigger than any shopping mall you been through in KL. But the food in Breeks, I guess you could take a rain check next time if you wanna go there. I had this fish thingie I cant remember the exact name.


As you see there's spaggethi there as well. Since I had salad only for lunch, I allowed myself to devour a little sin. LOL


My best friend however ordered some kind of pasta. Looks weird I tell you. Just somehow the camera made a good picture of it.


Another friend of mine had Some sort of chicken chop. Looks delicious and it's rating somewhere 7 out of 10 I would give them.


The next day, I told myself, That's IT! I need to have some REAL food in Penang else it don't mean I've been there. So we went to the Ever famous Laksa Stall near the Ke Lok Si temple in Ayer Hitam. Hot day I tell you, not the best time to have something so spicy. I seriously sweated like a pig.


Laksa for some who don't know, is a kind of noodle, mixed with soury and spicy flavour. It also has bits and pieces of fish meat in it mixed with prawn's paste. One of malaysia's finest creativity of food if I should say so myself.


This is how a bowl of Laksa looks like. Yea I know, to some it does not look nice, but really you ought to try it if you ever get a chance to.


We ordered friend spring roll as well.


Later then, I told my friends, Since the weather is so hot, why not we have some cold desserts to cool off ourselves? I'm thinking, Penang Road's Cendol!! Cendol is an icy dessert with coconut essense? and some brown sugar with some greenish wormlike flour jelly and red bean. LOL somehow I'm not doing a very good job at describing the content of a food. I'm a IT Specialist and a System Engineer, not a chef so cut me some slack ok?


This is how Cendol Looks like. Good stuff you know. LOL

Later that night we had Grilled fish by the seaside. I'm sorry I forgotten to take pictures of the food. We were too concentrated on the food that we start to get our engines working the moment the food arrives. LOL Thousand apologies folks.


The next day, before I'm about to leave Penang and head to the airport, My friends said they ought to bring me to have some famous Char Koey Teow a.k.a Fried Noodles. I was asking whether is it the ever famous Sisters' Char Koey Teow and they said there's a place much much better than the Sisters. So well Here we go.

The picture above is another stall selling spring rolls, something like earlier before. I just have to try it. LOL Unfortunately, Ipoh's Kong Heng has the best spring roll I've ever tasted. Will take a picture of it next time when I have a chance to be in Ipoh again. :)


There you go, The so called better than the Sisters' Char Koey Teow stall. Umm, there's 3 sisters there too. I think they're trying to steal the original sisters' trademark. Check out the price. For a large plate, I could get 2 LARGE plates in KL already. It was good no doubt. But sorry I had nothing to compare it with so I won't know exactly how good are they in Penang.


As you can see, The older sister is the one frying and cooking and the other 2 is helping with customers and with the ingrediants. 1 thing I don't really like though, There's a stall there and we as patrons goes in the shop to sit. Normally cooks like them would take our orders and bring it to us while we sit and wait. Their's is a total different approach.

You wait, queueing up, pay when it's your turn and bring it yourself to your table. So much for customer services eh? Not to mention the queue was long. But I guess it's all in the good name of experience. LOL That's all I have for now. Will post more pictures of Penang soon enough. Stay tunr k?

Best Advertisement yet to be seen.

I've gotta do this! I know it's wrong to copy stuff from other blogs but I'm sorry Kenny, but this is really too hard to resist.



This is an advertisement they put up in Taiwan saying "Let Shanghai Bank manage your finance. Bring PUKI home!"

I wonder any of us Malaysians who so happens to bump to this, I bet they would start laughing really loud, really hard till their stomach coils inside them! Well I know I would.

So PUKI anyone?? Or would you wanna bring home their mom? PUKIMAK??

Note:
Puki - In proper English, it's called a vagina, Pussy if you want.
Pukimak - Mom's vagina; Mom's Pussy

Evening with Chili's and My KTV

Last week I had a couple of colleagues calling me up when I was at home demanding me to come out to Mega Mall for a drink. There I was comfortably sitting in my home PC chatting and playing some games, I was moved from my comfort zone to Mega Mall.

Upon reaching there, we decided to have some "drinks" at Chili's as most of the shops then are closed. What a good timing huh? LOL...

So we orderes some drinks, well only Daniel and I had alcoholic drinks but the 2 girls did not.






Daniel had Bailey's for the first time.


I had Malibu Rum.

Had a nice time talking and crapping most of all but well at least it gets me off the stress I'm going through.

Later then we went to this Karaoke in the same building called MY KTV. It looked pretty well build from the outside but unfortunately inside tells a whole different story. They do have a self service bar for you to get your drinks and so on. The rooms are fairly clean but as a person who doesn't go to karaoke all that often, The variety of songs they have there really sucks to the max!






Thank God that I still have a fresh pack of cigerrates if not I guess I'll be bored to death. I don't sing...much but the least I have is something to keep me entertained. Oh yes, This picture is taken by Daniel; first time on a DSLR camera I must say he did a pretty good job. Kudos Mate~


This is a picture I took myself to show Daniel in differences of functions, I kinda like this so I posted up here.


Crystal and her friend getting comfortable but yet they still complain the air-cond is too cold for them to handle. LOL In my mind, Crystal? Cold? LOL her size somehow makes me doubt it.


There's Daniel getting comfortable.


A group picture after the whole karaoke session.

Honestly, I think that whole place sucks, MY KTV I mean. It's a no wonder so few people patronize that place. It's already a pain for Mega Mall to increase their parking fee and the service that bad, It's only a matter of time before the business goes down the drains. So if the management of the KTV is reading this, Please do something about your current business situation of be prepared for the worst outcome. *Evil laugh*

I know I'm bad but hey, I'm doing this so people who reads my blog would know it's not an ideal place to hang out and have a good time. It's merely for the better cause ok? Cheers

Rest well my friend, rest well...

This entry is dedicated to a friend of mine, Kenneth Woo B'ng Hui. Born on 25th December 1987, Died on 2nd May 2003. Today marks his 4th death anniversary.

Kenneth started as an apprentice of mine during my days in IB Systems. Well he was 16 then; and in college already. Yea I must admit, he's a smart kid. A rich one too. But for a kid this rich, I really enjoy his friendship as he does not portray the spoil brat attitude that normally rich kids do these days. Really down to earth kinda guy.

On the night of 1st May 2003, I asked Kenneth to join my friends and I for a drink in one of the pubs in Bangsar. Initially our gathering was set at 11:30pm. Kenneth had some errands to run before joining up so he ended up pretty late and we were done with our bottle of Chivas already. All that was left was a can of Coke so I told him, "Since you come late there's nothing much for you to drink so here you go, finish this can of coke up!" A while later we all decided to call it a day as most of us were pretty worn out. So Kenneth then went somewhere else with his friend and we parted our ways.

The next morning, I received a call from Kenneth's mom's colleague, Felicia. She told me that Kenneth had passed on due to a road accident 4am last night. I didn't believe her as I told her I was with Kenneth the night before. She asked me to come down to the morgue if I don't believe. I went and I saw something that my eyes and mind refuse to believe. Laying there is Kenneth's lifeless corpse.

It took me a really long while to accept the fact as I felt then it was my fault of his death. If I hadn't asked him out the night before he would be perfectly safe at home. It's tough knowing that a close friend like him had to leave so early. As days passed and months went on, I slowly let go and learned to accept the fact that people come and go all the time. Time wasn't the factor at all.

So Kenneth if by any chance you see this entry from where ever you are, know that a whole lot of us missed you heaps bro. Will come by visit you later today and I'll definitely bring your favourite soya bean drink! Cheers bro; Hope you have a better life than anyone of us here.
