Happy Chinese New Year 2008 - Part 2

Hohoo...Its really a hot day in Penang! Its Monday, 18 Feb 2008, I will have 3 days remaining till the day going back to Brissy!! Honestly, I would love the living style and culture back in M'sia but not working life though...Really hope the upcoming nation election can improve local living quality which is beneficial througout all the generations, provide more job vacancies for new & freshie graduates and prolong the unity of all the Malaysians plus indigenous races!! Time isn't there to wait for people, in contradictory, people should learn how to manage time and appreciate them by heart!! Like myself, I have at least used it to meet up all my best buddies, mates...**AS IF**

Firstly, my trip down to KL for chinese new year has given me the opportunity to meet up Joey for lunch @ The Curve!! The Curve shopping mall is attached with the gigantic cinema mall named CineLeisure and the bazaar stalls are another main attraction for the famous hang-out place! We decided to dine our lunch at a Swiss restaurant called Marche. The restaurant has used a fresh-market concept to present the customers with fresh & tasty feeling, having their meals hassle-free.



Interior of Marche Swiss restaurant...


Seafood Fettuccine with creamy white sauce...YUMM!!

Of coz, the super dessert has completed the whole course of meals...


Devilish Tiramisu with shredded dark chocolates...

Secondly, my trip back Penang this time is also a special one as I've managed to meet up KC during the CNY days...We are both studied in the same secondary school but we never know each others until my winter trip to Melbourne in year 2006. It is such a coincidence where we were in the same local trip to The Great Ocean Road. We were like...."AHHH, you're from JSHS, don't you?" Its such a laughter when we both talked about it again...


KC's favourite - The Ginger Bread Man



Wahaa...The monstrous Ginger Bread Man...

We spent the day at KC's house, chatting & learning photo-taking lessons (with Macro & Colour Accent feature). She was so amazed with the feature and find it so interesting, haa! Yeap, I like the feature as well, especially when u want to take some near object with blur vision at its background...that's what we called 'ART'!!!


Macro mode - Caltex glass as the main focus object


Colour Accent Mode - Only sensitive to Gold, Yellow and Green colour elements...


Another sample with Colour Accent Mode - My favourite " The ruins of St. Paul, Macau"

Alright, today is 21st Feb (Thursday), also Chap Goh Meh - The 15th day of CNY! Feel so fortunate to have the chance to come back for 2 months vacation...Arh, don't feel like to go back Brissy but still have to accept the truth and cherish the time we have with family members, friends, of course not forgetting all the yummilicious Penang authentic cuisines!! Okay, will keep in touch with you guys, its 10.55am now, gotta recheck my luggages...See you back in Brissy, mates...Have a great day!!!

Love,

Happy Chinese New Year 2008 - Part 1

Harlooo....

Its really been a WHILE since my last post hay...if memory serves me right, that's will be ever since LAST YEAR!! Wah, time flies...I've back to Penang for 2 months + 1 day!! Gosh, what have I done so far?! Just purely EAT without doing anything that is beneficial?? ><"" Nono, U're WRONG! At least I did travel down to KL, working in dad's office for a month, accompany family for N times (:D), met all my best buddies in CLP and IG and etc. Here's some attached pictures to keep ourselves delighted even during stressed and busy days...

Let's start off with the ever pinkish skyline at dawn....Just love it~



All my best ever buddies known since primary school time, cheers matess!! Too bad AhPin wasn't there...


'New' Kids on da block...haaa~ Yoyoyo...

Gotta say sorry to them as I didn't make it for the annual gathering trip in last July...That's my bad, but at least I did please u guys with super duper big bottle of redwine...wahahaha~ All crazy alcoholics...


Why CNY has been so important among chinese throughout all age levels? Haaa... For small, young and big children (like I do) would definitely answer with the ecstatic red packet or Ang Pao in Mandarin!! These red packets were believed to protect the elderly from having sickness!! For elders or married person, it will be a headache festival season as they need to distribute these packets for people like us...wahaha!

Another reason is that CNY is somehow the only time for every relatives or families to gather and share some stories and gossips....haaa~ I personally love reunion dinner lots...get to eat all those yummmy food~ Food monster reincarnation!


My whole family and relatives (mum's side) in KL


Shu Yi, Cheng Yi and I...Look at that cute boy in the middle~ All the cousins went over to Bangsar for a chilling drinks while simply chatting about ourselves...working stories, some sense of humour stories, had fun for that night!!

Hope I will be coming back soon to catch up with all my cousins again, till then, please do take care of yourselves, wish all of you best of luck and happy as always do...!! Yeap, that's my short and simple CNY post part 1, just stay tune for 2nd post...Weeee~~
