Third Day. Sunday it is. As usual, light morning breakfast of 2 half-boiled eggs and a cup of coffee at home. Then, we brought Lou-Dou to visit the church that we go for Sunday Service. Outside the church, there is this stalls that sell Curry Mee. We had been tempted for the past 3 months to try the curry mee but unfortunately because of the time constraints, we had never tried it. We sort of guess that it would be tasty because the stall were always flocked with lots of people despite the unhygienic appearance. The stall had been there for the past 20+ years. It was started by the two aunties sitting on the floor serving bowls and bowls of curry mee. The youngsters that were helping around are their grandchildren. Ooooh… How sweet huh?... Not many youngsters nowadays would like to stuck with their nanny especially on Sunday. Anyway, all of them look so happy, even the aunties were delighted as I snapped their pictures.
After breakfast, we went up the hills nearby to Kek Lok Si. This is the biggest Buddhist temple in Penang. It is really huge. We were actually overshot the entrance whilst trying to find parking. Anyway, that’s a good thing because we found a nice spot to have a view of the island and Kek Lok Si.
We made a U-turn and went in to park at the basement parking at Kek Lok Si, it cost us RM2. At the entrance, we noticed a mini pagoda. Along the pathway, we found lots of beggar asking for a change. They all look quite normal, healthy and were on proper dressing. I’m not really sure why they were there – for experience or really begging for a change. At the inner hall of Kek Lok Si, we found out that it was actually under construction. I think they were trying to gold-plating the main pagoda.
We took a cable car up to the upper hall of Kek Lok Si. The huge Kuan Yin Statue was set up there. Unfortunately, it was actually underconstruction too. They were trying to construct 8 pillar around the statue. According to HuaSiang, they had actually seen an even bigger statue of Kuan Yin in Taiwan. They are going to Taiwan with Lou-Dou this August. It would be the first time for the past 40 years that Lou-Dou going back to the place where he had his university education.
On top of the hill, there was also a nice cooling shelter within a man-made lake. It was a small lake with lots of fish in it. The atmosphere was filled with children’s laughter as they were feeding the fishes with bread crumbs.
Next to the shelter, there is a temple that sells off roof panel to tourists with RM30. Those who bought the panel will write a few words on top of it. The panel will then be used for construction/repair of the roof top of Kek Lok Si. I had a great chance to witness a multi-cultural writings on the panel displayed.
We had our lunch at Fat-Loh Chicken Rice Shop along the way up to Batu Ferringhi. They claimed to be the top 10 chicken rice shop in Malaysia. Initially, I ordered half a chicken but HuaSiang said that would not be enough for us. I then change the order to a whole chicken. We had steam/white chicken rather than roasted one. It was really nice. The chicken was so succulent and soft, even the breast meat tasted like thigh meat. Yum…Yum... Lou-Dou surprisingly had two big bowl of rice along with the chicken. I could see that he really enjoy the chicken a lot. Along with the chicken, we had Bean Sprouts and Soy Pork. The bean sprouts were really fresh and crunchy. Almost finishing the meal, the shop tauke (a.k.a. boss) came over and offered us a portion of free vegetable curry – tasted ok not superb though. It was nice because it was free, I guess… ho ho ho…
We went back to Mingood Hotel and rested for about an hour. Feet Rest. I was really exhausted after a long day drive. I'll get an automatic gear vehicle next time.
Dinner, we went to a nice dessert shop at Jelutong. It is known as “Ma-Dou-Yao” (a.k.a. Got Everything). It was known as “Got Everything” because one of their specialty desserts contains every single sweet on a bowl. WoW, that was really refreshing… As for food, we had Fried Mee-Sua, Fried Kue-Teow and Fried Oyster... I wonder how much weight did I gain throughout the past 3 days...
We went back home at around 2230 because everyone had to packed up as they will return on the next day. MungSeong & I were so sad because their stay was way too short. We really had enjoyed their company for the past 3 days. May be next time my family will come out and visit us too in Penang before we leave for our Master programme in Kubang Kerian, Kelantan.
Please come again. We miss you all...

Well, due to the late night chat, we woke up at around 8am. We started off the day at around 9am. We drove by Mingood Hotel, where my in-laws planned to stay about 6 months ago when they booked in their trip to Penang via AirAsia. We actually checked in quite late yesterday evening – we had notified the Hotel about it. I prepared light breakfast for everyone because I know that they won’t fancy having a full heavy breakfast at home. After crossing the Penang Bridge, we headed straight to a shop around the vicinity of Mingood Hotel. There they serve nice Kuey Teow Th’ng (Rice sticks with meat-based soup). We also had a bowl of Curry noodle, fried noodle + rice sticks and fried popiah. Well, it was quite a happening place as everyone came to that stalls for the Kuey Teow Th’ng. We have to wait for about 15 minutes before being seated along the streetside. Now, they really appreciate the light breakfast (2 half-boiled eggs) that I’d prepared for them.
Penang came from the word Pinang a.k.a. betel nut (a palm-like tree with red-coloured fruits).
After breakfast, we visited Fort Cornwallis, built by Captain Sir Francis Light crews when they first landed here and took possession from Sultan Kedah in 1786. It is situated at the north-eastern part of the Penang island. We took this opportunity to take pictures with Sir Francis Light's Statue.
 
Here, we could appreciate the early base of the British in Penang, their tents, camps and even jails where they kept their captives. There was a big displayed cannon at the top of the fort, there are lots of story about it. The most interesting one was the mystical fertility blessing if one touches the muzzle (opening) of the cannon. Wow…. If that’s true, our Obs&Gynae colleagues will go through a rough time in Penang island… ho ho ho… I’m just kidding.
Dr Sun Yat-Sen or Sun Zhong-Shan (1866-1925) was renowned as the Father of Modern China. He was a revolutionist which was one of the main character in the downturn/ending history of Qing Dynasty. In Penang, the Penang Philomatic Union which was founded by Sun in 1908, has embarked on a heritage project to turn its premises at 65 Macalister Road into Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Museum. It was expected to complete in 2006. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Yat-sen)
I was there today but unfortunately, it has yet completed. Unfortunately, it was not a very well-organized museum as I could not really grasp the essence of the history of Dr Sun’s life and story of his revolution after I visited there. I hope the museum would be improvised with more exhibition spaces to exhibit the story of his life.
We visited the temple of Sleeping Buddha next which is situated near Gurney Drive food court. Well, it was packed with people. Lots of tourists visited the temple. It was quite an eye opening view of the huge statue of Buddha in sleeping position inside the temple. One has to take off their shoe upon entering the temple for any kind of purposes. I was waiting outside guarding our shoes whilst the rest went in for a visit. Luckily I manage to snap a picture or two outside.
We had our late lunch at around 1300 at one of the hawker stalls at Jalan Dato’ Keramat. I was told by my cousin that they served really nice Yong Tau Fu. Well, she was absolutely right. Its superb for its delicious soup. All the meats are so succulent that you wouldn’t want to stop once you started the first piece. Unfortunately, this stall is strictly non-Halal… he he … you know what I mean, right… We had 2 big servings of Yong Tau Fu to fill our stomach – RM50 in total. We also had popiah there which is really nice too – a thin layer of wrapper with lots of stuffing. Yum…Yum… Yum
We then moved on to the next destination - The Snake Temple. It was supposed to be our first destination on our itinery when MungSeong initially plan the trip. Now, lets see how good your eyes are... Can you actually spot the snakes in the picture below???...
Well, it was an eye opening, seeing so many snakes and even KING COBRA... WoW... I was enlightened too by the displays of the kids - courage overcome their fear OR a pure ignorance of the danger. 
We spent the rest of the evening shopping at Queensbay mall. Good for MungYen, Padini was doing their 50% sales. Both HuaSiang and Lou-Dou had hair cut at Quick-Cut in Penang Queensbay Mall. Here at Queensbay Mall, you'll get a good view of the Penang Bridge too. There are few stone seats around, ideal for those who love the semi-urban view. Such a breath-taking moment. If you're lucky you'll see aeroplanes actually flew across and making their landing at the airport which is not far away from here. If you are hungry, there are always van-stalls that you can buy light tit-bits and fruits.
Before we leave, we had a light meal at Kopi-Tiam Restaurant whilst giving a chance for Lou-Dou to rest his feet.
For Dinner, we had Lok-Lok – a steamboat-like meal but you don’t drink the soup – at a hawker food stalls near B-Suite. It was not a great experience because there wasn’t much choice of the dish for us to choose. Fortunately, there were other foods like the Taiwanese Fried Chicken & Claypot Chicken Rice which were really filling and tasty.
After another day of long shopping and walk, we retired to bed at around 2300 as fatigue took over every inch of our muscles. Rest & Enjoyment assured.

My In-Laws Visit Day 1
|
|
My in-laws arrived at the Penang International Airport at about 10am. There was no delays of flight – well done, AirAsia. My brother-in-law had an unforgettable flight experience this time. Missing his breakfast, he was looking forward for in-flight breakfast experience – not because he never had it before but because he was HUNGRY. Well, a hungry man is an angry man. By the time the cater trolley reached him, they had actually ran out of food. They were sitting at the front row and the trolley start from the back of the cabin. I guess it was an experience where the last will be first and the first will be last…. He he he… Sorry-ah HuaSiang, just kidding… not trying to remind you of the unpleasant experience.
I was shocked (fear that it will not fit into the boot) when I saw a big box which Mung Yen packed full of Tupperware for us. Thank you, MungYen. Luckily, we managed to stuffed it into the boot. Our initial plan was to stop at Snake Temple as that would be closest to the airport. It was just so typical of us, trying to maximize the activities in the shortest time available. Unfortunately, there would be a change of plan due to the current condition.With the limited car space, everyone had to embrace their luggages throughout the whole journey. Therefore, we decided to go for lunch first and then back to my place for unloading at Seberang Jaya. Lunch, we had nice sourly vegetable with meat soup and sambal fried rice at Chai Leng Park. They loved it… I’m glad…. Hua Siang commented that the food around there were cheap. He bought a calamari curry with RM 4+ only. I think food at Kota Kinabalu was way too expensive.
After lunch, we chilled out at my place. Lou-Dou (Father-in-law) looked very serious when he arrived as he surveyed every corner of the house like a property agent because he had to report back to my mother-in-law. My mom-in-law was actually troubled with worries of the increasing crime rate that was reported on the news these days. They were astonished when they found out that there is a man-hole in the kitchen. What an unpleasant view? Well, it was not only unpleasant sight but also gave off “odd” odour during hot afternoons. After all the inspections, Lou-Dou sat down, relaxed and had his first pint of beer of the day. I could see that he really enjoyed it.
After a good afternoon rest, we travelled back to Penang island via ferry. According to Lou-Dou, the very last time that he was on a ferry was about 40+years ago when he was studying in Taiwan.
It was very nostalgic experience for him. Everyone got down from the car to get a breather as the ferry started to move out of Butterworth’s pier. It took us about 20 minutes to reach the island. We headed straight for dinner at Gurney Drive after we arrived at the island. Gurney Drive is a must-go tourist spot for all food lovers, they cater for both halal and non-halal food – don’t worry, you’ll see that there is sort of a boundary – an imaginary one though. Well, welcome to Malaysia, a multi-cultured nation.
There we had our favourite Asam Laksa, Fried Oyster with eggs, Rojak, and also Char Kuey Teow. Yum Yum… It is so mouth-watering by just thinking about it. You can also get really freshly prepared Apom Balik. If you like dry cuttle fish, you wouldn’t want to miss it there – they actually barbequed it for you before you savoured it with or without the specially mixed chili sauce.
After almost 2 hours of dinner, we proceeded on to our next destination, Batu Ferringhi – the spot where you’ll really feel that you’re a tourist. One will meet all generations and groups of people – both local and foreigners. The main attraction at that hour was Night Market. It was packed with people brushing shoulder-to-shoulder looking at the colourful displays of merchandise. Be careful of pick pockets. Don’t forget to ask for at least 30% discount before purchasing the goodies.
I remember there was this stall that sells potraits and local artworks which was run by O.K.U. workers. All of them had lost their hearing either as an in-born defect or acquired. General term for O.K.U. is Orang Kurang Upaya (Person with Lack of Ability). I think this term is technically incorrect to them because they could still work, function and run their business like the rest. I’m sure majority of us would agree that should the abbreviation of O.K.U to be Orang Kelainan Upaya (Person with Special/Different Ability). They are unique in their own way. The bargaining process was actually done with a big calculator. Both the dealer and the customer will punch in their desired price for the merchandise on the calculator until there is an agreement between both of them. Pretty interesting isn’t it? Keep up the Good Work...
We reached home at around 11 pm. We were almost worn out after a whole day out. After shower, we gave ourselves a good treat by sitting around the living room and had a hearty chat whilst having a cold beer. I appreciate having discussion after a pint because everyone was courages and honest at voicing up their opinions – of course in a polite way. Compliment to Carlsberg… he he he… I really enjoyed it. We turn to bed at around 0230 looking forward for the next day’s program.

Fried Congee/Porridge
|
|
After watching A-xian's tv-program about couple weeks ago, I was very curious of the horribly presented dish (Fried Porridge/Congee). According to the local people review during the programme, it is actually better taste than it looks. However, I was not convinced, so we decided to find out ourselves. By the fact that A-xian visited it with positive recommendation makes me even more curious to try it. I wanted to give my own taste review of this unique cuisine.
Porridge is porridge because it is a "soupy" rice... In my opinion, I think that porridge is healthy because it contains lots of fluid. On the contrary, dishes such as Fried Rice, Kue-Tiaw (Rice sticks), Bee Hoon (Vermicilles) are all dry, and if they are watery, its either the chef is unskillful or it is already spoilt.
Fried porridge is semi-liquid-like food. Well, its not easy to fry porridge since it is already watery/liquid form food. Anyway, to summarize, fried porridge is a test of skill for the chef, I guess....
Fried porridge here is a semi-liquid rich in flavours and ingredients "soupy" rice. It's concentrated and is not as watery as how a porridge normally would be (regardless of Cantonese/Teochew's porridge). Therefore, theoretically, I think it is alright to call it a fried porridge since the fluid content of the porridge had already been reduced during the process of cooking.
Well, I'm not particularly impressed with the fried porridge after trying it. If I was given a chance to go back again, I would only do it to credit the great effort and skill of the chef. Several factors of my reluctants... First of all, its the distance from my house.... well, that is not actually strongest factor because for a food lover, one would travel anywhere to satisfy the tastebuds... Most of all, I think the taste is quite ordinary, i.e. it just taste like a bowl of porridge with bovril/soy sauce and lots of ingredient in it. Well, that is only my opinion. I would of course recommend it to all of my friends who love to try new food. (hmm... I don't think it is HALAL though - actually I'm not sure) Like I always say, never try never know (translated from B.Melayu "belum cuba, belum tahu")
If you are interested, the address is Aik Kee Restaurant, No.27, Jalan Tengah, 09800 Serdang, Kedah. Opening times: 4.30pm – 10.30pm. Contact no. 04-4077288. We came from Penang and it took us 1 hr drive mainly because of the suburban roads.
Unfortunately when we were there, the Kerabu Manga has already sold out. I really want to try it though.  Mmm... that's a shame because it's going to be a while if I want to go back there. The dish that I really miss is the Spicy Sour Vegetables' Steam Fish... Waa.... so nice 
The fried sweet-&-sour cockels was also very nice.... The best thing of all was... we found 2 pearls.... waaaa... 
No lar... just kidding only... Those are the contents of the steam fish's visual globes... 
We arrived there at about 1830... and waited 1hr for the food to arrived... By the time we leave at around 2100, its already roaming with lots of people... Some of them have to stand and wait for tables to be cleared. Good experience, moderate quality food.... 
If I'm going back again next time, I will remember to phone for booking a table and ask for the availability of Kerabu Manga. Don't forget to order a glass of cold Barley drink.... They served really nice homemade Barley drink and it goes well with the rest of the dishes... Yum..yum...yum.....

Those Familiar Yet Unrecognizable Faces
|
|
It has been a long time since we left form 5 to pursue our own ambitions & dreams. Well, we never realized it until we actually counted the years that we have left the school. Its been a decade, I remember. Sounds like a really long long time.
We were all the same then - a secondary school student. There were some of us who shines brighter than the other then, but we were relatively the same.
Now, we were of different backgrounds - the pulses of the society - we have engineers, managers, accountants, doctors, lecturers, teachers, entrepreneurs and so forth. Some of us are even greater achievers - PARENTS. That's a great achievements, I think, because it no easy job to become mommy & daddy. Greater task lays a greater responsibility.
The reunion had really brought back lots of memories from the past, both sweet & bitter. It is also the time to catch up those years that we have lost whilst pursuing our dreams.
I still remember we were not so close then but this time, it seems the walls that divided us had gone. We seem to be closer. Everyone seems to sync with each other. There were no topics unspoken of on that night.
I thought there would be lots of kids around, but nope.... probably that will change in the next 5 to 10 years time. Courtesy to Yong Moh and his little boy, I think a lot of us are planning for children next year or two. (I'm just kidding... Try not to speak for the crowd). I think lots of marriages will take place soon. For those who have missed the meeting, don’t worry, you are NOT forgiven… you better attend the next one (not sure when... probably 2018, depends on the response - *just kidding*).
Some of the pictures were imported from Terence Tan.

The Year of Rat 2008
|
|
Chinese New Year is one of Malaysia’s greatest festivals around the year. Chinese stands up for Malaysia's second largest ethnicity which therefore explained the reason behind the great cerebration that we have here.
It has been 2 years since I have left my home town to go abroad working. Although then, I'm lucky because for the past 2 years I still have my lovely darling to spend with.
This year is the year of a Rat. I'm not sure why they call it rat rather than mouse because I always have the impressions that rat = pest.... he he he... but anyway, that is not the whole point. It is 2008 and in chinese character 8 = fatt means prosperity/richness. I wish everyone would make more this year than previous years.
This year, we have both reunion luncheon and dinner  - Lunch with nuclear family and Dinner with extended families. It is also the first time that we have “Yee San”... I guess it is not really Foochow's tradition of having it.... or would it have been lost whilst my ancestor travel from China... I don't really know...  ... Well, it is a great experience doing "Lou-San"... Mixing the Yee San together with family members... The act was believed to be able to bring more luck and prosperity for the upcoming year...
We always go back to our grandparents place for the reunion dinner. We have lots to chat about on this special occasion. Before the dinner begun, we usually started it off with fire crackers... The rounding sounds of the firecrackers is to celebrate the new year with sounding joy. Although for some of us, it may sounds like an alarm to warn us that we are getting another year older... As for my family, we usually have a buffet-style dinner, we get our foods and then we sat down or stand with our fellow relatives as we reflected on the meaning full days that we have spent for the past one year... Nothing is more comforting than seeing the cheerful face of our old grandparents...
Chinese New Year Eve's night is always the most fun night of all the nights of the New Year as you get to see beautiful flowers blooms on the nightly sky as the fireworks lighted up the dark sky when the clock strikes twelve.
On the first day of Chinese New Year, we will normally dressed in Red as we believe that is the lucky colour. We also receive red packets from our family and relatives - well, of course after we have greeted them with great respect and jolly wishes. One will only stop receiving red packets when they are married, therefore, married after the new year and not before then...
It is also during this special occasion, family and friends from abroad come back to their hometown. Great deals were discovered during the visits to our friend and relatives home. i.e. their first born, their vintage collection of turntables, their birthday... and so on. We usually serve our friends with cakes, sweets and drinks.
Only on the third day of the new year that most of the hawkers stall are opened for business. It is such a memorable thing to do, meeting up with your old mates having hometown cuisines... just like good old days when we were all still secondary school students. Its really great to see those faces that haven't been seen for really long time such as Tuong Thai and Kitty... Nice to see you again. Hope we'll stay in touch

Powerboat F2000 race in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
|
|
This is my first time attending such a grand watersport. It was held on the 1-2 December 2007 at Waterfront, Kota Kinabalu. Its nice to see so many smiley faces around. I've got a few shots of the powerboats and also a few views around. I'm not really sure who won the race on the day of the event until recently... Colin Jelf - the one on the blue powerboat No.1. (Boat: Molgaard)
Great fun but too much heat from Sabah's tropical sunshine. I've got quite a bit of tan from then. Not sure what to shoot on this occasion, I guess its the starting point and also the individual powerboats. I've seen others who had also took a snap shots of the events. Really nice though... They've got pictures of the RELA, policeman, kids, sponsors ie. DIGI... really colourful and nice... I guess I'll keep my eye open on my next round to any of the events...
Looking forward to attend more of big events for photoshoots and also hope to get more nice pictures in the future....

Day Trip to Mukah
|
|
It’s been a while since my last entry / update in here. I’ve been back to Malaysia for about 2 months now. So as to kick start the system again, this is my recent Mukah’s trip. I went there along with my cousins. The whole journey from Sibu to Mukah took us about 2 1/2 hours, with break in between. Half of the road trip was nice but the other half was quite torturing as our drive skillfully avoided the potholes created previous trucks.
Mukah – Never thought the place would be like this. I always thought that it would be more village-like place. Good for Mukah. Nice place to begin with. Been to the beach but not going down…. as from afar you can see a nicely layered out “Teh susu/-ci”.
Wet market was quiet when we arrived as it was quite late in the afternoon already. Luckily, one of us manage to get a big 4kg Mackerel. Quite fresh though... Good Deal... The dry market was full of nice exotic local delicacies, fresh vegetables and fruits. Sago was one of the main attraction here. Since my cousin highly recommended the sago production from Mukah, I too bought lavishly.
Sago Worms or Siet is one of the exotic delicacy that I encountered here. The taste is ….. I don’t really know… Need more reassurance to taste it alive… May be some day later. Its really quick to sold. I guess if you love it, one packet won't be enough….
Mukah is also well known of their Umai. It’s a mixture of chilli, onions, fishes, lime and etc… (not really sure full ingredient). I’ve tried a few umai in Sibu but none is as tasty as this…. Not “fishy” at all… nice… I will buy more next time if I should go to Mukah again. Umai goes well with sago.
On the way back, we stopped by our uncle’s Dragon Fruit Farm. I’m really amazed by the plantation there. They even have to label the areas by “BLOCK”. The fruit itself varies from white, pink and even yellow. The yellow dragon fruit was quite difficult to nuture, therefore they are only a spoonful if one should ever to taste it.
I like day-trips like this…. Most important of all, I don’t have to be the driver…. Banzai…. But if I should go again, I would pre-medicate myself first & have a lighter breakfast.

NorthWales Easter
|
|
Snowdon has one of the best view of the country side and walk that you'll get in Northwales. The Sheffielders came to visit Rhyl for the 2nd time. When is the first time? I also can't remember, I think it was about 1 year ago. We didn't manage to get to Snowdonia last time. Well, we did almost manage get to the top this time but due to some "technical" inconvenience we are almost at the top. Well, overall it is a great memorable gathering.
After a painful yet enjoyable walk "down" the Snowdon path, we decided to visit the place with the longest name in the whole UK. I also cannot spell it. Nevermindlah. Also got no picture. Sorry ah... Anyway, we moved on to visit the lighthouse at SouthStack, Anglesey. It is still operational but when we arrive, it was too late and everyone was so tired. Also aiming to see Puffins a small Artic birds that occasionally spotted in SouthStack as they normally come here to breed during this time. Unfortunately we can only spot seagulls. They were as many as the crows in KL city. 
Thanx to Norley who unfortunately were working... ... she managed to guide us to a Halal Chinese Restaurant... after a Bangor city walking tour... Thank you NORLEY

Longleat Safari Park
|
|
This is the first Safari Park that we have been too. Next stop... A Real Africa Safari. Well, that would be ideal, right? Anyway, Longleat is a well made and preserved Safari Park. Its quite adventurous though. Stopped by the Camel crossing the road. Attack by monkeys, trying to get into our car.
Well, the most unpleasant experience was that at the end of the park, my Vectra decided to play up and give some odd noise and the whole car was shaking violently. I got so stress up but luckily, I've got my tranquilizer (ie MungSeong) to calm me down.
