30/06/2009, 11.16pm - Bad Memories.... I Cried....

11.16pm...

30/06/2009

Tonight...

My brother asks me some my old time story...
He wants to make clear about some incidents that happened to me in year 2005 after he read another blog of mine... ( http://express-out.blogspot.com/ )

And he told that he faced the same bitter experience as what I was facing last time...
Yesterday, he was sad after reading it...
He said he can't help me at that time... and he felt that I was "the 2nd" him... (a repeated incident after 4 years)...
I soothe him that I understand his situation at that time because he just began his career at that time...
And at the moment I told him the context of that story, I recalled my sad memories, I start crying again...

These were bad incidents for both of us!

And from that incidents, we know that we are having a very nice dad!

I know... I know he regrets that he never entered any schools in his life...

Despite he didn't afford to give the best things to us, but he still manage to bring us up! And we can feel his boundless love!

He is a very great Daddy!

At here, I just want to tell you, "Dad, you have been tried your best! I love you Dad!"

"I know... I know you won't surf net and see it here... because you only able to recognise few Chinese characters... But I always proud with you!"

And now, I would like to say something to my lovely brother who is my only sibling!

"Thanks to your support! I love you brother!

I swear we will be very tough in the future!

We have experienced that bad times....

We have gone through all the worst incidents, I am very sure that we will have lots of good times in the future! With our determination! With our spirit! With our dreams!"

09/06/2009 Can't Sleep....

Now the clock is showing 1.11am. I feel very sad at the moment. I just know my final results. The results was the same as what I have expected. I have to thanks to my 2 lecturers!! Finally, I failed to obtain 1st class results for 6 consecutive semesters! I thought I will cry but I didn't cry and didn't feel too sad about it.

So weird? Why?

Maybe I already accustomed to the nontransparent system of my Mechanical Engineering Department. Now, I am so regret not enrolling in National University of Singapore (NUS) or Nanyang Technology University (NTU)...

Frankly speaking, local university is not a good choice for you to study. Please believe me...

Never enter local university... Any local universities... Believe me, this world is not fair... Especially in local universities... It always happen. Otherwise, you will regret one day...

That's only a minor factor. I think the main factor is I was not hardworking enough! Okay, I should not blame anyone... If I can individually beat down a group of competitors, that means I have the capability. So, the results showed me that I am not good enough... Hence, I have to work and study hard from now!

At last, I would like to say sorry to my family... I swear I will work hard and put more efforts in my FINAL year...

08/06/2009 Bowling & Hiking

I went out with my colleagues today...AGAIN? YES! AGAIN!!
At 1.50pm, Chun Keet came to N-Park to fetch me. After that, we directly went to Penang Bowl. One of the only two bowling centers in Penang Island. We reached there at 2.25pm.
But we saw Jess (today is her birthday) already at there. She reached there 15 minutes earlier than us.

With my lousy mobile phone....

Failed to capture down my highest pins in my life!
I should consider to change a better hp!

Luckily, my 3 games were all over 100 pins. This was my 3rd time going for bowling... Haha!! Not bad, right?
1st Game: 132 (Warming up)
2nd Game: 107 (Lost)
[Team A: Richard, PK, Jess and me vs Team B: Ah Chew, Chun Keet, Shally and Desmund]
3rd Game: 120 (Won)
[Team A: Richard, PK, Jess vs Team B: Shally, Desmund and me]

Among us, besides Desmund (who is not STEC employee), Richard is the BEST! The following is PK!

After playing bowling, we went to hike Penang Hill. Richard was not joining us. He had an injured leg actually!! Can you imagine that?! He still played very well although he had an injured leg! Amazing!!

This was my 2nd time for hiking Penang Hill... But this time, I hiked from different path... and with my funny and sporty colleagues! A different experience then!

After hiking Penang Hill, we went to a super lousy food court to fill up our stomach. Didn't know what is the name of that food court. All the food we orderd were sxxks!

My Wan Tan Mee and Ah Chew's ice coffee...

Desmund's teppanyaki...

At last, thanks to all the colleagues for giving me such a nice outdoor activities and unforgetable memories. At here, I want to say "Thanks!" to Chun Keet and Ah Chew for fetching me.

07/06/2009 Power Station's Autograph Session

Today, I went to Queensbay Mall with my coursemate from Kedah. Firstly, he went to Sg. Nibong to find a shop for cutting his hair. But the shop did not open for a week. So, he decided to go Queensbay Mall to cut his hair.

We reached there at 3.50pm. While we are walking to saloon shop, he told me that Power Station will come here next week. Suddenly, we saw a crowd in front of us and they are all looking down to Ground Floor. He only realised that the event was held today! He said he want to see them before he goes for the hair cut. So, I also followed him to there.

We went down to ground floor then. Power Station haven't come. They came at 5pm. They sang 3 songs and play a mini singing game with their fans. But the sound system was suck!

Here are some videos recorded by me just now....

31/05/2009 Penang Flower Festival 2009

The last day of May, I went to Botanical Gardens for Flower Festival 2009.
Here are some beautiful cactus I have captured.

23/05/2009 Penang International Dragon Boat Festival, Teluk Bahang Dam

Event : 29th Anniversary Penang International Dragon Boat Festival (PIDBF)

Date: 23rd ~ 24th May 2009

Time : 9am - 5pm

Location : Teluk Bahang Dam, Penang

After I came back from "Pandu-pandu Cari Makan", I took a short rest and went to join this event. I reached there at 4.30pm. I only watched the last game on that day because I was late.

Luckily, I still managed to take few photos at there and uploaded some at here for sharing.



Then, my roommate and I went to Batu Feringghi. The sunset was very beautiful!
We saw few couples at there. Very admire them....So romantic....

Here are some photos.

23/05/2009 - "Pandu Pandu Cari Makan"

Today has been a crazy day! I followed my colleagues to have a "Pandu Pandu Cari Makan" trip. At about 10am, Ah Chew came to my place to fetch me. We went to Pacific Megamall to meet up with JS. Then, we were waiting for the rest of the colleagues, Chiang Wei , Lee Chin, Xiao Mei Mei and Soo Chuin, before we started our journey.

Our first station was Ching Huat Restaurant. It's located in hinterlands. I didn't know where is it. Haha... Honestly, I can say that the food at there was quite tasty. You may give it a try!
We ordered a plate of fried noodles, a plate of steamed octopus, a plate of fried quails, a plate of pan-fried shrimps with vegetables, a plate of steamed clams and a plate of steamed fish. Besides that, we drank a bottle of 1.5l herbs tea and another bottle of 1.5l tuak (an alcoholic beverage made of fermented rice, yeast and sugar and drunk in Borneo and East Malaysia).

After that, we headed to Wan Li Laksa and Chendul Restaurant at Sungai Bakap, S.P.S. to eat Laksa and Chendul. I personally felt that the laksa sold in Ayer Itam was better, but the laksa here comes with a pan-fried shrimps with vegetables which makes it special and different from others. However, the chendul sold at here tasted "so so" (normal), nothing special. While waiting for Ah Chew's friends, we had a break there.

About 45 minutes later, we went to another shop. This shop is mainly selling Cai Kuey (in Hokkien). I didn't notice what is the name of the shop. And again, I can tell you that the dumplings were not tasty at all for me. One man's meat is another man's poison. It might be good for others, but it was bad for me.

Huh.... Very full!! But we still need to go for thai fried trotter at another restaurant. Since all of us were full, we only ordered a plate of thai fried trotter, a plate of toad and again a plate of steamed octopus. We ordered a jug of a type of fruits called Sha Lei (in Cantonese) for our drinks. The uncle got shock when he was getting our orders. Why? Because there were 9 of us but we only ordered for serving size of 3 persons. Haha!! At the end, we still managed to finish it!

At around 3.30pm, I reached my home in Penang. Thanks to Ah Chew for fetching me! I enjoyed this trip very much...

Life in Penang....

The 2nd time in Penang in my life. The first time I came was 11 years ago! She becomes more beautiful now! I don't know how to describe it... I am now having industrial training in STEC Technology Sdn. Bhd. She is so amazing!! And I am so glad that I met a group of nice colleagues! Haha!!
