Angry ---> Stressed ---> Surprise!!!

Confused by my title? Don't worry. I will explain why my title is named in such. Today I went to Low Yat with my friends. The initial plan was to get a new mobile phone because mine was spoiled after falling down from the stairs T.T So off we go to Low Yat in search of a new phone! There were two devils with me were profusely cajoling to buy iPhone 4 =.= bad peer influence! haha. Its too expensive so I call it a day with a external hard disk.

Hitachi! Never tried any electronics from Hitachi before. Hope it won't let me down >.<

Its time for me to had extra space (1TB) since my photo shooting activity is getting more and more frequent nowadays =)

Yes! Back to the story why I had such title. I should be happy getting a new hard disk but why am I angry? Its because "someone" had been disturbing me, ordering me, and asking me this and that. You were expecting some peaceful shopping doing you negotiations and someone does this! I just couldn't stand it anymore. The turning point was at the end of the journey I was given a surprise from my dear. She was that "someone" and I was scolding her >.< Throughout the journey back to campus I was never expecting anything but she throw a surprise to me out of the blue. Cunning girls eh? She made me fumed in furious in the beginning and then her surprise made my anger disappear immediately. Thanks dear for the surprise! Sorry for being so rude just now T.T Curious about the surprise she gave? Wait for next post!

Bye-bye Penang @ I ♥ Penang

After so many days exploring Penang today is the day I say bye-bye to Penang (*tsk tsk) Don't want to leave such awesome place. The fun and excitement in the city never ends. Can't forget the delicious food (*drooling) How am I going to survive without good food as I already been enjoying for the past few days? Since all of us love Penang so much. So we decided to buy something special to remind us about Penang. Can you guess?

 

Tada! We love Penang!

Before we leave, its the best thing that we enjoy another good and delicious breakfast in Penang. Today we bring you to a simple stall which you will never expect such good food from it. Its just beside a main road. Surprisingly the food is awesomely good!

most famous Duck leg Mee Sua. Too bad duck leg is sold out and we have to settle with duck meat >.<

classical packaging for a soy bean drink

Since our main specialty is to take picture XD we will head to Penang Botanical Garden to fill up our memory cards >.<

Stead...stead...GO! Picture frenzy time!

I found this tree very interesting. The flower actually grow a few inches above the roots of the tree.

This is what they name the tree as. "Canon" Ball Tree. Ehem. Sorry I'm nikon. haha

Its really amazing when you can see so many of Mother Nature in a big city. Full with skyscrapers, Penang had never forgotten about the importance of greenery. Before we head to the airport lets have a picture I love most! Group picture!

 

Its time we head to the airport as we bid farewell to this majestic island. We will be back soon! More of Penang shall be unveiled to the world especially Malaysian who prefer vacation overseas where they overlooked what Malaysia itself can offer. Adios Amigos! Berjumpa lagi!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Penangite for their warmest reception. To everyone: Thanks for making this trip a lively trip. Its really a wonderful experience with you all. Hope to have another trip with you all soon!

Scandalous meeting with Michelle Yeoh @ Ipoh

A scandalous meeting with Michelle Yeoh? I am just kidding. How could a International big star be interested to meet a normal guy like me >.< Actually I met her in a Opening ceremony of Kinta Swimming Club. I was one of the photographers working during the event day. Before I took up the job I was told that Superstar Dato' Michelle Yeoh will be attending this opening ceremony but I was quickly withdrawn with the idea that how could a superstar like her come to a simple event like this? Check out if my guesses are correct?

 

My guesses are wrong! Michelle Yeoh and her family arriving

Before showing more pictures about Michelle Yeoh lets see some pictures of Kinta Swimming Club and lets find out why Michelle Yeoh is willing to attend this event. Kinta Swimming Club was more widely known as Ipoh Swimming Club was founded in early 1930s by Foo Wah Cheng as President, supported by Wong Peng Sum and Yeoh Khuan Joo. Well, Mr. Yeoh Khuan Joo here was Michelle Yeoh's grandfather in fact. Well this certainly explains why Michelle Yeoh treats this event as her utmost important.

This is the new Kinta Swimming Club

Olympic size swimming pool. This new pool brings memories where Michelle Yeoh trained at this very Club to represents Malaysia in Swimming.

Back to the story, when Michelle Yeoh's arrival to the Club, everyone was rushing to take a picture of Michelle Yeoh and unfortunately I was pushed to the back of the crowd. Its not a big deal as I still managed to get a good shot of Michelle Yeoh!

Michelle Yeoh and her niece. Despite a crowd of people I still managed a shot!

Putting down her glamorous signature!

Simply astonishing looking at her signature. Guess which is Michelle Yeoh's?

VIP guest are seated

Michelle Yeoh and current Club president

Before the opening ceremony, Michelle Yeoh was given a simple tour over the new club. I am pretty sure that she will be envy of the new Olympic size swimming pool which is not available during her time. I think that won't matter much as she still represents Malaysia in swimming =)

Michelle Yeoh and her niece listening to the club's representative

Fascinated?

Brings back a lot of memories to Michelle Yeoh

Michelle Yeoh and her niece look back at the clubs history which is so closely bonded to her family

Not to be missed out is Dato' Seri Ong Ka Chuan giving his speech during the ceremony

Michelle Yeoh giving her best wishes to the Club's development

Finally the club had been reopened with a better environment.

Hopefully there are more events call for me =)

Kek Lok Si Temple @ Penang

Have you ever tired to ask a Penangite (People who lives in Penang) what are the places worth visiting and most of them does share one common answer which is Kek Lok Si Temple. Today I show you what is so special about Kek Lok Si Temple. In Penang most of the people had their conversation in Hokkien and therefore, "Kek Lok Si" Temple for the Penangite means "Temple of Supreme Bliss". What mark the specialty of this temple is that the project(constructing the temple) received the sanction of the Emperor Guangxu(tenth emperor of the Manchu-led Qing Dynasty) , who bestowed a tablet and gift of 70,000 volumes of the Imperial Edition of the Buddhist Sutras. (Source: Wikipedia)

The main pagoda of the temple

These is about what you will see about Kek Lok Si Temple

here you will observe a lot of Buddha statues circling this area

Once you proceed further up you will eventually reach to a Souvenir shop. Enter the shop (Don't worry, I won't ask you to buy souvenirs for me XD) you will see a counter surrounded by aluminum gates which will lead you to the incline lift. Purchase the ticket and you will reach to the huge bronze statue of Avalokiteshvara(Guan Yin).

Right above this door lies the bronze statue of Guan Yin

Some cute statues which you can take pictures with

This is basically what is Kek Lok Si Temple. Its really a nice and peaceful place to visit.

Dessert @ Snowflakes, Subang Jaya

Before a new trimester starts I think is fair to give ourselves a nice treat for what we had achieved last trimester (excuse really. haha) Today we are having desserts in Taiwanese style. Suggested by "Koala" (real name is Kang Sheng) we head to a cafe called Snowflakes Taiwanese Dessert Secrets in Subang Jaya. Its just opposite the well known Asia Cafe (Beside Inti College and Taylors College). The cafe is located on the 1st floor.

Look for the signboard(left) and the staircase leads to this(right)

Since its a self-service cafe you basically have to order and carry your own orders. I must say they do it in such way that you wont be irritated even though its a self-service cafe. Why? I'll explain further.

 

Here is what you will be ordering basically

hope the size of the crowd won't scare you off =P

As I said earlier, you will love to self-service. I introduce to you "UFO". This little gadget here will tell you when you will have you order done which you are seated. Instructions are written on it. Don't worry if it is your 1st time using "UFO".

Bestseller and it taste really good! It contains Grass jelly + grass jelly ice + Taroballs + creamer(right)

Now I introduce to you the gang! Sorry I miss out one member of the short dessert hunt >.<

Buried by Rodrigo Cortés

This is my 1st time watching a rather simple movie. How "simple" is this movie? Throughout the whole movie you will only see the main character Paul Conroy (acted by Ryan Reynolds), a blackberry cellphone, a Zippo (a famous lighter brand), a torchlight, a hand knife, a bottle of alcohol, two light sticks and a snake. This 1 hour 40 minutes movie only consist of this few elements.

Boring! You may think this movie is but if you are a kind of person that likes to speculate as the storyline blooms, this movie will suit you well. Together with only Ryan Reynolds you will have a heck of a time guessing and guessing. The story starts with Paul Conroy an American Truck driver in Iraq was buried in a wooden coffin 6 feet underground. He fight for survival by only making phone calls with the cellphone battery running dead. The climax reaches when his wooden coffin begins to shatter as the sand make its way into the coffin filling up the spaces in the coffin.

Have a shoot at the trailer!

Some scene in the movie:

P/S: One thing that I do not like to watch a movie in the cinema is together with cinema-hooligans. Please do be considerate that other people is sharing the same theater with them and they are no the only one in the theater. Lowering discussions volume and over-enthusiasm shouts is really appreciated.
