Penang & Segamat

So long I've not update this blog. It's been hectic for me in May to finish up all the final assignments, study for final exams and preparing for Future Game Creators Seminar. [First of all, applause to all committee of FGCS for the success of the event *clap clap*] And my holiday officially starts on the 28th of May. I stayed in Cyberjaya for some tennis, swimming, sauna, eat and sleep. I think that time was quite enjoyable as it's peaceful and quiet, good place for relaxation i reckon. Seems like my blog is all about going places now, eh? Well, here it goes again.

1 June - 3 June 2007 @ Penang

Then I went to Penang with my family from 1st of June to 3 of June. We reached Penang in the early evening. Found one small stall at Jalan Melayu that sells Wan Tan Mee. It's the best ever wan tan mee I've ever eaten. And it's CHEAP! For RM2.20 a bowl of Kon Lou Wan Tan Mee that is still hot and delicious, worth it. Totally worth it. I stayed at Tanjung Bungah, the northen side of Penang island and I played parasailing for the first time in my life. The next two days were basically temples visiting and eat eat eat. I ate so much that I think I gained some few pounds in these three days. Too bad I took too little photos, else I'd post tonnes of them. So, here are just some of them.

I enjoyed this trip to Penang a lot. It's been a long time since me and my family go vacation together alone, as in no other people that join us. The only thing I hate is the stupid traffic jam on the way back. I was stucked in the car from 2pm - 11pm!! This is the worst jam I've encountered so far I guess. I never thought highway can be THAT jammed up.

9 June - 10 June 2007 @ Segamat, Johor

The main objective of the trip is to visit a friend, Yin Yee, who is getting married in July. And not very much to my surprise, again, she didn't turn up. ["Fong Fei Gei" in short] Nevertheless, Kuan, Bee, LeongKee, Solid and me went to find a lot of nice and cheap food to fill our tummy. [eat again eh?] We ate char kuey teow, chicken chop, ABC, dim sum [costs RM1.20 to RM1.60 per plate ONLY!], black and white bak kut teh for breakfast and chicken rice and wan tan mee for lunch. Basically it was a driving and eating trip. Well, at least I enjoyed it. =D

The very cheap dim sum, quite nice...

I still one more week before I start my industrial training. I really feel that I need to lose some weight here. Has been eating eating and eating a lot lately. How I wish I can stay in Cyberjaya to play some tennis and swim. [Talking about swim, I lost my beloved goggles given to me by my dear "big sister" Pui Yee =( ] But I still have stuffs to buy, friends to meet, party to attend, and celebrate father's day. Here, I wish Happy Father's Day in advance to all the dadz in the world especially to my dear dad because he is the coolest dad in the world. =P Billy, out.

Superb Sunday

6 May 2007, 6.00pm - Sungai Wang Plaza, KL

It was a Sunday and it was evening. We (me and my UTAR friends) were suppose to meet up at Sungai Wang plaza but someone was late. Hehe.. I made a silly mistake which costs me another RM2 parking fee because I went in Sungai Wang parking 3 minutes before 6pm! [After 6pm flat rate RM4]. At third floor situates the roller skating rink. We paid RM16 each and skated till 9.30pm. My butt is still painful the next day because SeowHooi fell and she pulls me down as well. Luckily no fracture bones. Hehe.. Old already bones easy to break. =P

After that we went all the way to Cheras to eat dinner with SeowHooi's Kembara leading Loh's Iswara and my Toyota. 5 people in 3 cars! No choice cause all of us stay in different places. And so, we reached Gobi Cafe in Pandan Indah. The environment there is quite soothing but we had to sit very close to each other because we joined in SeowHooi's friend's table [which is about 10 people sharing a medium-sized table]. Next stop: Neway Karaoke near Leisure Mall. But before we reach our destination, we had a little detour to drop SeowHooi's friend and look see look see SeowHooi's house.

7 May 2007, 12.00 midnight- Neway Karaoke, Cheras

Me with lots of Kampai's @ Neway Karaoke in Cheras

We sang from 12 midnight to 4am. Costs us RM35 per head [including tax and tidbits]. Each of us get 3 drinks [Kampai, beer or fruit juice]. We ordered quite a lot of Kampai though. Hehe... I had a wonderful night with all of them. Looking forward to meet the rest of the UTAR gang in June. [Long time no see, miss them a lot] Billy, out.

This is the second half of the celebration of minbee's birthday. Right after coming back from Genting, we had barbeque the next day. Then countdown to her birthday at Putrajaya. This is the end of her birthday week. I hope she enjoyed it. For me, I always love to hang out with friends, so of course I enjoyed too despite all the busyness in doing assignments. =P Billy, out.
