A dedication~

Its New Year Eve.. its time for me to reflect my life for the past 12 months.

As i said before it has been a great 1 year, full of surprises and shock, full of sadness and happiness.

As all the sadness i've been through, nothing can compare to the happiness when i meet my sweetheart.

Dear,

I would like to say thanks for all the happiness you've given me throughout the year. Your care and your love really matters a lot to me. Ever since the first time we hold hands on May, my life has change alot. I learned the meaning of responsibility and the true meaning to care for someone.

Dear, you are my sweet heart my darling and the prettiest girl ever in my heart. I'm soo proud and happy to have you. It has been a wonderful 6months journey and i know it is just begining, there will be more challenges lies ahead. Lets face it together!

I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH DEAR~!

Good Bye 2008 Hello 2009

2008 2008 it has been a great 2008 for everyone. For me lots of sad and happy things happens to me.

I think the biggest shock to me is when my dad pass away. He was a great man but due to his strictness we didn't get along really well. Still he has raise me up and provided me with a place called home.

2008 has also many other surprises to me, one of it is I finally able to get the girl that I love the most to say YES! Yea its good bye to single years for me.

Lots of other things happens in 2008, but for me thats the highlight of my life. How bout yours?

2009 is gonna be a though year, the world is heading to recession lots of people gonna lose their jobs. I hope it didn't happen to me. But lets ride the storm and survive it, I'm sure there will be lots of reward awaiting for all of us.

Well for all my friends and readers I would like to wish Happy New Year!

Singapore Day 1

Finally I flew to Singapore to celebrate Christmas with Steph, its a dream come true indeed.

After almost half year planning and nervousing, we finally made it to Singapore.

FYI this is my first time boarding on a plane damn i was nervous. The feeling is great, i felt like floating in the sky when the plane took off.
Our Plane

We reached Changi International Airport at 2220 sharp.After walking out from the plane we headed to the Immigration Check where i get my brand new passport stamped for the first time. YAY! Then we went for our luggages, Changi is very efficient coz our luggage has already arrive by the time we are there. Very fast indeed.


Changi Airport

Singapore really surprise me how systematic they are, everything are planned and executed nicely even the taxi service are superb. I don't need to wait long for my cab coz they have some guys directing the cab for us. All we need to do is wait at the allocated taxi stand and the person will direct u to an empty cab. The cost from Changi Airport to Orchard road only cost around $20 which to me is very reasonable. Unlike the taxi from our bolehland, singapore's taxi are metered all of them. The taxi driver even wait for us to drop our luggage to our hostel.

When we reached orchard road, the roads leading inside was super jam. We have to walk inside as the taxi driver said its impossible to go inside with car, he is very nice to drop us nearby orchard road where we only walk around 10minutes to get there.

Once there, i was facinated by the decorations there, it is really bright! According to uncle taxi, the decoration this few years are not as last time. Still, to me it is really facinating.

Orchard Road

There was lots of foam flying around when the clock hits 12am. Me and Steph manage to get to a safe location which is directly under the ERP Signboard.

After that we headed back to our hostel to get our well deserved rest.

Stay tune for Day 2 :P

Foods foods V1

Gonna start my small small food blog now ... something that i've been wanting to do for some time.. but kinda lazy to do at first :P

Well lets start off with some of the foods i took over the weekend..

went to Old Town Kopitiam in Aeon Seberang Perai City Mall for lunch on friday....i ordered its famous Nasi Lemak Special, consist of anchovies a piece of spicy fried chicken, eggs and a spicy yet tasty 'sambal'. Its been 1 of my favourites everytime i went there.. the sambal is just nice to be eated with the rice and anchovies. My friend ordered the same thing and an Old Town white Coffee ice blended drink..


Then on the same mall on Sunday.. me and steph went for Leomag's waffle, i ordered the Special Waffle with Ice Cream for my dear~ she just love it soo much.. the waffle is soo crunchy and soft at the same time very nice to eat with the ice cream .


After that she suggest to bring her friends to Bukit TamBun for Dinner.. we went for the famous Ah Yan Seafood Restaurant located deep inside tambun. For the dinner we ordered quite a lot of dishes.. we ordered the Flower Crab & Meat Crab with Curry, Fried Squid, Fried Oyster with Eggs, Mix Vege, Tauhu, and Fried Scallops .. the Crab meat are very soft and tender and sweet too.. FYI crabs are Ah Yan's speciality.. go there and u will see most of the customers have crab dishes on their tables.. for the rest of the dishes.. i will give it a perfect 10 for taste and freshness. A truly recommended restaurant for seafood lovers. Btw.. their service is very fast also.. all foods are serve within 15mins ..


Here's my not soo clear direction on how to go to Ah Yan Seafood Restaurant.
1. Exit at Bukit Tambun from Juru Highway.
2. After u exited the toll u will meet with a roundabout take the right turn and go up the flyover.
3. Go straight till u meet with a 't' Junction.. take the left turn.. go straight.
4. Continue straight till u see Batu Kawan Stadium on your left..
5. At the first junction take the right turn and go straight.
6. U will meet with another roundabout.. take the left turn..
7. Go straight till the end and u will see the restaurant.

Its very easy to identify since there's no other restaurant around there. :) Enjoy!

Well.. thats all for the day.. more foods next time :)

Singapore Singapore Here i come~~

Yay.. after almost half year of planning and day dreaming.. the day that i wish has come true.. a few more days and im off to Singapore.. the best thing.. im spending the vacation wif Steph alone! A truly dream come true for me.. what more can i ask :p

Will updates u guys with more pics when i got back hehe

2008 Penang Starwalk

I participated in the Penang Starwalk 2008 recently to be exact December 14th. The Penang Starwalk is an annual event it is hosted by The Star newspaper.


This is my 4th time participating in this event and i vow to participated it every year, hehe don't say that i only know how to eat.. i also likes to exercise a lot.


The walk starts at 7am and is flag off by the Yang DiPertuan Negeri of Penang. I arrive at the registration point at around 630am together with the official T-Shirts, mine has the Penang Time Square graffity at the back when i reach the registration point i was given a hair band as a sign that i've registered, there will be another hair band to be given during the half length of the walk. This to ensure that everyone follows the exact routes and no short cut has been taken.

Start!!!

My T-Shirts and Number.. dun buy 4D with it!! no guarantee u will win :p

There's alot of people participating in the run.. old and young having fun together.. i manage to capture this father and son walking together..and wearing the same coloured shirts.. how cuteeee hehe .
Cute Father n Son combination :P

Team Magnum!!

The Hill Climb, see all the white ants? haha

After a tiring 1hour and 41minutes i finally reach the finish point, and those that able to finish inside the 2hours range will receive a Participation Cert and a lucky draw number which i didnt win any .. no luck sigh..

PISA where all the walkers meet..

I then go inside PISA to get my free drinks and to wait for the lucky draw to start. The 1 this i dont like bout getting my free drinks is the place is super duper crowded with walkers that are sweating and smelly to make the matter worse there is some peoples that cut queues .. damn i hate those peoples...
It has been like these all the years .. never been improve at all! At least they could make each booth bigger so it can accomodate more people..

Well thats all now.. didnt cover the lucky draw event.. was super tired that time..

Jom Makan Nyonya Foods

Went for dinner at Nyonya Baba Cuisine at Nagore Road, Penang with Steph and her parents. Read here for more info bout the place. The atmosphere is really special because it felt like im entering back to the past.. due to the old style decoration and tables, minus the aircons :P

Uncle ordered 6 dishes for us all are original Nyonya foods.







All the foods are quite nice.. it really like home cook foods for me coz my mum knows how to cook these nyonya foods also :D

Final words.. food are quite OK for me, but price is a bit pricey.

Daniel Lee @ Gurney Plaza

I just love having my camera with me whenever i go, for example.. nobody know's the second season Malaysia Idol winner Daniel Lee will be at Gurney Plaza.. what a good management those Gurney ppl are doing, there were not even a poster letting the public know he will be appearing. Guess i was lucky to be lurking around there with Steph.. when we heard Daniel's name been called.

Quickly i head down and get my camera ready... and snap!! Hehe

I really amazed at those Japanese scientist for creating such a great piece of art. This is really 1 step further to achieving a fully functioning robot like the 1 in I-ROBOT movie. Anyway enough talk.. lets see how he looks like!

Penang Bridge Marathon

Participated in Penang Bridge Marathon last Sunday,what i can say is its an event not to be missed by everyone, coz once in a year they close the whole Penang Bridge just for everyone to run/walk around, you can even sleep on the middle of the bridge since there's no car. There 3 Category with different length Full Marathon 46KM, Half Marathon 25KM, Quater Marathon&Fun Run 10KM.

This year is my first time participating, and i can say i regreted i choose half marathon instead of Fun Run. Not only that i miss out the chance to get a cert i oso missed out on the lucky draw chance T.T and 1 thing i get is freaking sore leg .. haha. But participating in the half marathon enable me to run to the middle span of the bridge which is quite fun.. the view is breathtaking.

For next year the event will be held on Nov 29, i'll definitely join again in the 10km category only hehe..

Pictures will be up later as i got other photo need to edit.

My Thoughts 1


It's a full moon today, and also it's Loy Krathong day. Today is kinda special for me for something that happen 1 year ago.
1 year has pass since that day,
The day that i walk with u under the bright moonlight,
As the moonlight shine your face,
How i wish to hold you in my arms,
Keeping you warm, Keeping u secure,
But i hold back,
Afraid of rejection, afraid of heartbreak,
That was 1 year ago.
Oh how fast time passes by,
Today for the 2nd time we went to the same location,
I hold your hands firmly,
Only gods know how happy I am,
To hold you in my arms beside the beach,
The very same site that i make my wish,
And now my wish has come true,
Allow me to say this, "I Love You".

Journey to the East 2

It's been very long since i updated my lonely blog. Quite bz handling lots of stuff. Heck i got tons of pictures awaiting my Post Processing!.

Anyway Happy Diwali for all my Indian friends. Last week i went to Kelantan with Steph and her sis this is the first time i drove my trusty 10years+ Iswara to Kelantan, I am quite nervous at first, coz scared my car might broke down halfway, so all the way i drive carefully without speeding or anything. To my amazement its quite easy to reach Kelantan from Penang, the road are 99% straight hilly roads no junction to turn to. I just need to follow the main road and i can reach Kelantan. The journey took around 6 hours. *phew* very tiring indeed i had a sore back when i reach there.

The Clouds are so low that it seems im on the sky :)

We started our journey around 630am in the morning and reach Kota Bharu, Kelantan at around 12.30pm. We were really lucky to see an Elephant at the road side eating, no i didnt manage to snap any photos of the gentle giant, was driving and i dont wanna risk the big fella to charge into us if he notice us snapping photo of him. The highway is really smooth from Penang to Gerik it is rather new, according to Steph the highway bypass Baling Town and cut the travelling time a lot.
From Gerik i took the East Coast Expressway to Jeli, Kelantan the journey is really bumpy.. the road is not well maintained and there's pot holes everywhere. From Jeli we took Rantau Panjang road to Kota Bharu.

Some road signs that are not always on our roads. They even hv road signs for Male and Female Deers LOL!

Once there, we took lunch at a Vege Restaurant where Steph's mum work at bcoz im still on my annually Vegetarian Diet till Nov 4th. After that i took a rest at Steph's house b4 heading to Tesco with her mum to buy some groceries. Her mum is a very good cook... she make several vege dishes for me.. *drool* drooling pictures will be up later =P THANKS AUNTY!!! for the dishes.
Vege Salt Fish
Lady Fingers
Vege~


On Sunday we went to Steph's old school, SMK Chung Hwa for a walk and some photo snapping. After that Steph's sis says she wanna go for a hair cut.. since my hair hasnt been cut for almost 2 months i join them for the hair cut also :p
Bought some keropoks for friends that placed orders frm me.
SMJK Chung Hwa
Me with my new hair ^_^

Monday.. we went to Siti Katijah Market to get Fish Crackers for my friends b4 heading to the famous Pantai Cahaya Bulan a.k.a Pantai Cinta Berahi (P.C.B) what a disappointment :( the beach is full of rubbish and the water is murky.. wonder why nobody maintain it since it is among Kelantan's tourist attraction. After walking around PCB Steph and I decided to order coconut water to cool down the heat .. it was rather sunny that time. On the way back to pack our clothes we stop by a stall selling a local delicacies and Steph's favourite, AKOK. A pancake like kuih with the mixture of coconut and eggs.. very tasty and sweet :D

After our lunch at the vege's restaurant we bid Steph's mum and dad good bye b4 heading back. I drop by Rantau Panjang to get some 'originel' Jerseys and some peanuts there.. the stuff there is quite cheap mostly bcoz it is a duty free zone.

The drive back is really tiring, because of the traffic and the rain... but we did hv fun during the time there, too bad it only for 3days but seems like everyone is satisfy :)
