Recent Me.

Yeah,I know.I haven't been putting pieces of me to this little space of mine for ages hence here I am.Reasons for that is I haven't find myself a peace in my mind to do so as my activities are packed(Yes,it sounds like I'm so happening..xD)from mid August till now.Having this particular post posted,something has changed,all for good I hope as I've made some crazy decisions that some of you might not even believe what you're seeing,but heck,you see what you see.

Here's the recap of my 'DID' in the past month.

Zoo trip on 18th August with high school friends.

Hot,hot,hot and hot.Animals are lazy as well on this account--sleeping.We paid rm7 to see them sleep,nice!!Anyway,it was a good outing as I guess most of us haven't been visiting the Zoo for ages.

Birthday,Farewell.

Time zooms and there goes on some particular 24th day of August,few of friends decided to surprise a friend on her birthday,and she felt surprised,i guess!!!And she really bakes nice cakes.

Farewell,this is the last one in the year,finally!!(Oops,I said it)Haha.Some 20+ homosapiens from SMAI 06-08 attended and it was nice,especially the Karaoke part of it,God knows why.

Church Camp.

Right,this is my 1st church camp,and I never regret joining it.Loads of things to share and learn about and I'm one step closer,hopefully!!Having it placed in a wonderful place,I've somehow managed to tan myself to a darker person!!

Kuala Lumpur 2D-1N Trip.

5 of us,Me,Jay,Pok,Sarah and Esther went for this adventure,and it was a great one!!

Sunway Lagoon--Wet and Dry Park.Loads of breakthrough happened there and it was actually fun paying money to scare ourselves.And again,I got myself tanned darker again and I'm looking like a darker race of peeps already.

SkyTrex--Best activities we did!!Never thought that climbing trees and handing over our life to a little harness could bring us so many fun!!Flying fox-es,Obstacles crossings.NICE!!Again,paying money to get us frightened was fun!!

The start--Climb 4 storey high of ladder.Outcome??TIRING!!

Ain't it nice??

5 of Us!!

Next up,

1st Orientation,1st College class,2nd College Class.

SEGi,inputs inputs inputs....

On the very first day,I felt disappointed,with the orientation they threw for us,the school's admin. systems and stuffs like the compound,the facilities of the school.Hopes for me to study there went berserk-ly low,as it was under my expectation by Malaysia to USA far!!Then,I figured things might change the next day and...Yeah,at least it changed a little bit.Lecturers are good but still I'd expect it to be better,but just that I don't have faith having myself going head first with the school.

Then,wild thought about the course hit me straight in my head that gave me a hint that maybe the course and school don't really suits me well.And,discussions later,dropping out of the school is a must,and course to attend was still unsure.From Music to Laws,MBA to Arts later,found myself one particular interest--Travelling around the world,working with other nations.That,*ehem*leads to Logistic Managements.Having known that 3 years of my future will be dumped into this particular studies,I freaked out--Asking pros. around this field,cousins,parents and so on.Outcome--This is a great field for me and it meets my criteria what I want to do above,that means that I'd be fine taking up this course and having myself surviving from starvation in the next 2 or maybe 30 years.

What the heck!!I decided to call the shots and there I went--UCSI University,having hopes that I could enroll immediately and start the course,and some time later,I actually did it!!

NOW,I'M OFFICIALLY A UCSI UNIVERSITY LOGISTIC MANAGEMENT COURSEDUDE!!

Yeah,that's all for my studies stuff.

K.L Life,5 days in total.

I must thank my all time buddy,HuanWei for his generosity to let me stay at his place for the 4 nights.Having that said,also I must add I somehow twisted his life in a sense that keeping him awake until 2a.m..Reasons?We have figured out that we haven't been speaking for quite a long time,that we can't find ourselves shut up,even it has wayyy passed bedtime.

"不可以了，不要讲了，明天还要早起!!"This,has been something that we've said for like a trillion times,and after each and everytime we said it,we never failed to continue our conversation.Haha,thank god I still have my best friend with me all time.

p.s:HuanWei,don't cry when you see this,I know you will..xD

Living in K.L is a pain in the arse as everytime you will need to face the traffic congestion no matter what time it is.Imagine this,a short stretch of Federal Highway about 5 km took you 1 hour to go through it.Yes,I'm afraid to think about peoples with the need to answer nature's call stucked in the jams.How is he going to 'release'?Haha.

Over the pass 5 days in K.L,I've been playing around,from 1Utama,Ikea,The Curve,Sunway to Pavilion.End product,Big holes in my pocket and big bloated stomach.Hags and Daz,TGIF,Fish n Co,I have it all!!NICE!!But hopefully this is it,no more playing,toying around after I settle down.

That's about it,my life over the past month.

862 Miles up North.

After 3 days of travelling,I'm back at home.This time,Kuala Perlis and Penang Island are the places I visited.

Kuala Perlis

While most of you guys don't know where's Kuala Perlis,I snapped it down and hope this will bring some light to you.

Yup yup,this is where we board on the ferry and leave for Pulau Langkawi.

Getting there spent 10 hours for us,as we're convoying on an average 100kph only.The road from Melaka to K.L. and the earlier Upper North-South highway is alright but when it hit Simpang Pulai,it's scenic!Imagine you're going over the mountains and there're lots of curves on it,I'd reckon it's the best highway route I ever drove by up to date.

Here're some pics to share.

The Rocky Mountain.

The scenery.

The tunnel near Jelapang,Kedah.Once the longest tunnel in Malaysia,measuring 800 metres.

0000hr,we reached!A piece of advice for hardcore drivers that wish to drive long journey-Prepare RedBull,Livita kind of energy drinks,Sticks of chewing gums and some mints to blow up your mouth like Fisherman's Friend. 

It's a small town with a Jetty that commute tourists thru&fro Pulau Langkawi.Budget Inns and backpackers' lodges are also common here as tourist could have a good night rest before going to P. Langkawi.

Food here are cheap but not really up to standard.Among all,there's this shop that sells mix-vege rice that have 1 special species of fish in their menu--Sharks' curry.

Picture this,it cost just about rm2,to take away endanger species' life.How would you feel?*insert your answer here*.Right,actually hunting for sharks aren't actually what it seemed to be.Why?It's because the fisherman there uses a kind of net which has smaller gap in between to catch more sea creatures and for the fact that the size of sharks are bigger,they're easily trapped inside hence the availability of sharks cuisine.

Padi field.

After food and posing for cousin's grad. photos,we left,to the next stop.

Penang

The first thing that came to my mind is the food!As well as the status,Straits Settlement.From the two statements there,I set my goal--To have the greatest local cuisine and to tour the UNESCO certified city.

Getting from K.Perlis to Georgetown took us 2 hours,as the people carrier that ferries us isn't in a very good shape and is only capable of doing 120kph all the way.Nevertheless,we reached safely and went through the 'once upon the time longest bridge'-Penang Bridge and it cost us rm7 to use the bridge thru&fro.

Next stop,lodging.The place that hold us for the night.

Still,it's a crap hotel with lots and lots of dispute.

Having checked in into the hotel,we went checking out the places.

First stop-Bukit Bendera

It was built by the English on 1923 as they were seeking for a cool hideout place in a tropic and they found Bukit Bendera.Commuting to the hill top was made easy when they introduce the slanting cable car which uses man-power at first.

The roundabout.If you look closely,you could see the tracks on the rail in the middle of the hill.

ALERT!Train Ahead.

Who says only Subang got AC,Penang also got ma.

Next,Gurney Drive Hawker Center

Penang Fried Kuey Tiaw,Prawn Mee,Fried Oyster,Penang Rojak,Penang Laksa and etc.

Wondering what's the flag on top of the hawker's stall symbolize?

Ok,I don't know as well but my wild guess tells me that they're 'shield' by some of the gangs there.

Nightlife in Penang-Jalan Pinang,this is the place where lots of clubs and bars are located.On a typical Saturday night,people here are blasting their car stereos as well as going bonkers in clubs.

P/S:Clubs here are using per head basis as well,either you pay a cover charge of rm25(inclusive of one house pouring--drafts beer,vodka,gin and etc or soft drinks.)or hard liqour basis.

The Atmosphere.

The next morning.

Fort Cornwillis,the fort that Mr. Cornwillis built when he was at Penang.

Penang Cityhall.

Penang Townhall,just beside Cityhall.

Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion.

Typical Penang Beca.

Bla bla bla later,our energy level went low and we decided some local food could come into rescue,hence we move on to one of the must go kopitiam to have our simple yet delicious food.

The Location--Lebuh Keng Kwee.

The Shop--Just beside Jalan Pinang.

Penang Laksa.The soup's just fine,not too sour and the laksa's great.Certified good to eat by 'ho ciak' 8tv.

One of the best chendul of Penang.Just beside the foodstall.

Food later,for our home we left.Once again,I took up the challenge to be man behind the wheel.For driving just after lunch,Mr. Zhou tried his very best to get in touch with me,but I survived ignoring him.How??

iPod,Fisherman's Friend and Livita!!

The Scene.

Later that evening,having needs for our stomach,we stopped at Ipoh for the famous 'Nga Choi Gai'.

The crunchy bean sprout.

The Chicken.

The end came by,when after this particular meal,another 5 hours on the road.

Final Verdict--The upper North side of Malaysia is not really what I'd expected.Penang,has gone through some massive changes and the cost of living there isn't that high compared to Melaka itself and hands down it wins in terms of the preservations of their older aged buildings in comparison to Melaka.It's definately a place that worth your 2~3 days of stay.

Cost.

Car from Melaka to Penang and vice versa--RM100 for toll,RM250 for fuel.(Based on a 2 litre sedan)

Food and Lodging-A budget hotel could cost around rm100~200 and with capability to accomodate 2~3 person,however a lodging hotel could cost lesser.Street foods will cost around rm7 per meal with drinks and snacks.

Cheers.

Weekend.

Batu Pahat.A place I never sat foot on before,I did,last weekend.As a PC fair promoter/salesperson/whateveryouwanttocallit,I thought it'd be dull as time spent there will be going around asking people to sign up for stuff.In fact,Fun could actually be a word I would use when I'm asked about how was it.Reasons?Simple.It helped me in alot of ways.Making more friends,improving my sales techniques,boosting my self esteem and stuffs like that.It's very nice,when you got chance to try out your sales skill for soooo many times and having the guts to talk to everyone you don't know.Toying around with the dudes I worked with,peeping all the MeiMeis and laughing at every joke we cracked,it's just awesome.Less on talking and more on pics mode-ON!

Preparing.

This guy,in this case,my boss made the passer-by go：“这个人做莫，表演啊？”

The suspected H1N1 guy,Rishi..xD

Lunch.

The atmosphere.

The Team.

Alright,that's all about it now.
