What a year~

Woah.. it's almost the end of the first quarter of 2010. Lots of ups and downs during this period. For me I finally able to secure a new job which is a totally new environment for me which means i've need to start all over again. I've no problem with starting all over again, the only thing im worried bout is did i make the wrong choice again? Did i took the wrong road again? Questions and questions has been running in my head, you see I am not really a good decision maker, sometimes i tend to be rush and misout on some points. I've made a terrible decision by not leaving my current company earlier as I've seen the way this company is heading and its not going to benefit me anyway. Due to this I've wasted 3 years without accomplishing anything. Sigh.. I am terrified. Terrified that again I've made the wrong decision :(

I guess only time will tell whether i've made the correct decision or not. But for the time being I guess by going all out i will know if i've made the correct decision or not. Do wish me luck guys!

Thoughts

Its been sometime since i update this blog, well lots of things happened during this period. Sigh.. i'll be slowly updating it into here..

Buffet @ G-Hotel

A few weeks ago, my company organize a team building dinner for my team. The location of the dinner is G-Hotel. It was really a wow for me when i reach the hotel's coffee house. There were numerous choices of seafood from salmons, oysters, mussels, etc. But something came in my mind, i've read from somewhere that says G-Hotel's buffet isn't that worth the money. When i first took my bite on the oysters and mussels i notice it isn't that fresh and there was no second round for me after that. There were very few choices of cooked foods and some of the foods is cold =.=" It was quite a disappointing dinner for me as i look forward for it so much. It certainly not worth paying 80-100 for that dinner luckily it wasn't me who pay for it =P. Over all i would rate the environment 9/10 and the food 6/10. Here come the photos~

Fooodddsssss Entry

So sorry for the lack of updates lately, being tied down with work, study and personal stuff. I got lots of pictures to share but with the lack of time i'll try to share whenever im free like now.

Anyway for today its gonna be another food entry. Anyone ever heard of a restaurant called 747? Yup thats the name of the restaurant 747 Cafe. Which serve variety of foods from chinese cuisine to western cuisine.

The restaurant is located in YMCA Penang and infront of of Island Hospital. It is a very old restaurant, according to Steph her dad used to come here to eat during his younger days. Here's some drooling pictures to share :D


I ordered Chicken Maryland, and when the food arrive, i was quite surprise with the portion of it. Consist of fries, pineapple, ham and sausages it was indeed very big. The chicken tasted very tasty and fresh as well.

For Steph, she ordered Fish n Chip. Sadly to say although the taste of the Fish n Chip is good the portion is very disappointing, with only 2 medium size of fish fillet it is hardly enough to fill up her stomach.

In conclusion 747 Cafe serves very nice food and with a very oldish atmosphere it will sure bring you back in time.

I wonder.. if anyone of you guys heard of Dragon-I which is located in Queensbay mall and serve the ever famous Xiao Long Pau? Well i visited its twin called Dragon-Y :D


Located at the ground floor of Suntech @ Penang Cybercity this restaurant actually open for quite sometime and this is the first time i've been there. Well nuff talking let me intro you with some shots of the dishes i took there.

This is call Hot And Spicy Abalone Ramen, trust me it is HOT and SPICY!

I forgotten what this noodle is called, it has lots of carrots, cucumber and some minced pork.

Well hope i manage to make u guys drool in this few pictures. Will update more often when i got time :)

Penang Aquarium & SPCA Penang

I wonder if any penangites realize that in Penang alone there's an aquarium that display hundreds of species of fishes from fresh water to salt water fishes. Yea I am talking bout something like Aquaria KLCC or Underwater World Langkawi but in a mini size.

This aquarium is located at the most southern part of Penang island, Batu Maung. The name of the place is called Fisheries Research Institute. There is an entrance fee of RM5 for adults if you would like to visit it.

Ticket

Steph and I went for a visit last weekend. It was my first time there, kinda sceptical at first but when I went inside I was rather amaze because i never thought Penang would have something like this. Although it was smaller that its big brothers the aquarium showcase quite a number of fishes such as lobsters, puffer fish, gigantic eels, 'nemo' , huge cat fish and turtles.



But sadly the place looks quite run down, mostly due to the lack of maintence of its facilities. The water looks murky and dirty, and the aquarium itself is full of algea. Even the number of turtles decrease a lot. I do hope the government will look into this and upgrade the center to attract more tourist to Penang.

Next on our trip we paid a visit to SPCA Penang. Luckily we able to reach there before it closes at 2pm. SPCA Penang is a small center located in Jelutong. It houses several dogs and cats some are rescued from the streets and some are abandon by its owners. Steph's first target is to visit the cats cage because she is very fond of cats.

Once there we are warmly greeted by the cats meowing at us. Some are willing enough to allow me to snap some photo of them =P.



We had a great time with the kitties but sadly I cannot adopt any because I've already had a dog in my house and Steph's living in an apartment. Hopefully those cute kitties able to find a new house and a loving owner.

Power Station @ Queensbay Mall

Last Sunday I manage to make it on time to shoot PowerStation(动力火车) during their promo tour in Queensbay Mall Penang. Thanks to my friend Axzel i manage to get a pass to go into the stage to shoot.

The stage

Album

Arrive there at around 3.40pm, and damn QBM was super duper crowded, i think it was due to the school holiday at the moment. I end up circling around the parking lot for 30mins before i manage to find a spot at the roof top. Luckily by the time i reach the stage they haven't reach yet.

See how crowded it is O_O"

The first person to reach is a DJ from MY FM radio station her name is Phoebe. She then entertain the crowds with some games while waiting for the main cast to arrive. Coz it seems like Power Station is stuck in the jam.

Phoebe On Stage

So the show starts at around 5pm when both of the singers reach. Once they gone up to the stage everyone was crazy.. shouting here and there. Wow i can tell u they do have a lot of fans even though they didn't come out with any albums for the last 4 years.

Power Station + Phoebe

Well the show lasted for about 1 hour where they sang 2 songs from their albums for the crowds. Then its the autograph session. There's 1 super duper fan, who bring all their albums from the first to the latest to be autograph.. he's 1 very lucky and crazy fan indeed.

Group photo with the fans

The show isn't officially over until our group photo~~!! Muahhhhaa.. my first time with a celebrity.


Well.. that wrap up my report of the day.. really enjoyed myself being there.
