Awesome Nyonya in Penang

2012-01-30T21:26:00.001+08:00

This is what people used to call "Penang, truly Malaysia" a place where you not only can hunt for nice foods but nice people with tones of great history behind. Today if you still can see those folks in nyonya costume it means how good and passionate the penangnites appreciate the culture left behind by the ancestors! Snapped this picture during the recent held Penang Chinese New Year cultural event which is called miao hui in mandarin.

Back stage crew for Taiwanese concert at Pisa

2012-01-29T15:31:00.001+08:00

Staying home for days and decided to work as an event crew which I never try before. Last night was the Taiwanese artist concert at Pisa. A bunch of friends from Leo club were part of the event crew too. I was assigned to the backstage ushering the artist together with kelvin. Taking picture with the Taiwanese artist wasn't difficult for us. But we didn't take the advantage neither. The superior ordered us not to take and get signature so being a good staff we obey his order or else 8 of them will have a single photo shot with us lol. Anyway, It was a nice experience.

Xmas Straits Quay 2011

2011-12-10T15:46:00.003+08:00

On the 9th of December, right after our company team building at Premium Lanes, all of us were heading to town to continue our non-stop makan trip. Our First stop was at Tong Pak Fu, Pulau Tikus for dessert and our dinner was at Xuan Xin Steamboat, Tanjung Tokong. Honestly, stomach was pretty full last night. That's why "Eat more, Out more" this phrase suddenly came into my mind. I was glad that I had released those in SQ (Straits Quay) as I couldn't endure anymore. Perhaps, the mango coconut drinks that I had at Tong Pak Fu was the main cause of my smooth "digestion". Taken a few shoot together with my colleagues at Straits Quay after a drink at Coffee bean! Yes, we had drinks again! The whole stomach was full of liquid until I have to wake up in the late midnight to release it. Wonderful outing with bunch of colleagues.

我的那些年-1

2011-11-15T16:19:00.002+08:00

看了《那些年》，让每一个人都想起中学时期的自己。
那小弟也不例外。

那时候，科技还不是那么的发达。
比起现在的学生，差别还蛮大。

班上是清一色，没有好像《那些年》里头那么精彩。
上学放学都由伟大的母亲一手包办。
不要说泡妞，连逛街看戏的时间都没。
没什么精彩的事件让我记得。
学业上，麻是一般，没有竞争力。
所以免谈。

最精彩，还是少狮会及学长团。
而少狮会也就是我的生活良伴之一。

那时候，学兄都灌输对少狮会错的看法。
少狮会往往都会被标签为“泡妞”的平台。

其实也对啦，有赖于少狮会，第一个也就是因为它才有她。
哦，要开始讲秘密噢。

在还没讲之前，其实少狮会还蛮好的咯。
如果没有它，就没有机会接触到女生。
如果没有它，就没有机会认识到女生。

这样，在会内，我和学兄弟们就有了共同的话题那就是女生。

往往都会有类似《那些年》里头的画面。
几个男生共同喜欢上同一名女生。
每一个就会绞尽脑汁表现自己，讲衰他人。
这叫做竞争力！

那时候我在向其实做女生还蛮幸福。
同时间，有那么多男生追求。
如果是男生的话，女生会比较少吧！
那些年的女生纯属保守派。
比起现在，有非常大的分别！

写情信就是追女生必备之计。
小弟也不例外。
初中一时来回信函还不少。
到今天我还收着。
还记得几年前，我们两还互交起来呢！
等一下，我所谓的互交是互相交换哦。
不要随便幻想。
这个她，我俩暧昧但最终就好像《那些年》，没有交往。
其实简直就好像《那些年》的情景。
她对我有意识，我也对她有意识。
就是开不了口。
也许，以前的我没有损友吧。
乖孩子一名。哈哈。要不然。。。

至于我所谓的“第一个也就是因为它才有她”就等下一贴才聊吧！

那些年

2011-11-15T13:41:00.003+08:00

回想起这些年我所为这组织的奉献
回想起那些年我和朋友一起的付出

因为他人的自私及无知
因为他人的贪恋及霸权

这几十年的组织就因为他的领导而让我开始感觉到政治的味道越来越重
简直把这所谓的具有地位性，人人仰慕，全球最大的服务组织推到谷底。

这几十年花的时间金钱算起来还不少
一心全为了“服务社会”这四个字。

身边朋友常会问为何浪费这么多时间心血？
我的答案永远还是那句话-那就是“兴趣”。

身为一名人称年轻有为的领袖，我万万也想不到他竟然会在其他会员面前讲非事实的话。
上位前他已经是闻名出尔反尔，讲一套做一套，没有绅士风度的男人。
再加上最近他那女人招数，真叫人拿他没办法。

样样事情都要“亲力亲为”
需要他人代劳做什么？
这样厉害，到不如自己来做！

论经验，他没
论风度，他没
论口才，他没
论大方，他没
论礼貌，他没
论烂招，他有
论娘招，他有

口口声声说让他们做，让他们有机会发挥
这一些都是一派胡言！

做一点男人事，不喜欢就对那个人讲
而不是透过另外一方传话。
往往做一些见不得光的事就有如偷情。

心血全没了。
都没有了。
现在只有失望。
我一心想要改进改革的机会几乎没了。
对你的尊重也没了。

一句话这组织因为你而变质。
不是我在说，连身边的也赞同。

Visit to Kota Bahru for KB Central Leo Installation

2011-10-13T12:36:00.004+08:00

11 August: Penang to KB, it took approximately 8 Hours to reach. It was a long yet tiring journey. Together with me was Him Keat. This was my 2nd visit to Kota Bahru, Kelantan for this year. Back in February, I took Firefly to attend Yaa Lay's Wedding Dinner and this round, I took bus to attend Leo Club of Kota Bahru Central's Installation. Thanks to Jason and Sing Sing for the great hospitality when myself and my president were there. We met DG Dr. Ben, a Lion who I have known for years since the day he was a DC for Leo. We had great food, great time with great people in KB. Although we were in a hurry as the next day morning I need to travel down to KL to attend Leo Club of Methodist College KL Formation on Saturday but we appreciate every single minute we spent together. Too bad we couldn't stay longer to enjoy a full day trip in KB. Will be back next round!

Delighting You always with Canon @ Dou Mu Gong, Butterworth

2011-10-05T23:46:00.002+08:00

Just back from Raja Uda. Paid a visit to 9 Emperor Temple over there on its last day of celebration. Together with me were my dear 60D and friend who drove me there. Had a nice time with my 60D. It has been long long time since my last outing with my 60D for non-leo event. Perhaps, I should spend more time with it, with what I used to do.

924 will be in the history forever

924 924 924. I know it is just a set of number. To the 4D lover, they will place bets. 924 meant a lot to myself. It was not only my installation as the Leo District 308 B2 Leo President coincidentally, it was also his birthday. Too bad, you were not there physically to witness my installation as Penang City member. However, i believe you were there to support me to bless us for a successful night. One thing I'm touched of during the process of organizing this dinner is I have received all my friends and Leos support. I really touched and thankful for what all my friends who supported me by giving advertisement, donations, performances and also attendance to the dinner to make the dinner as grand as what I wish to see. From the bottom of my heart, a big thank you to all for your great support when I really need it. To those who never give a single cents or any other support, I would like to thank you too because of you, I know that I don't have to dependent on you, I know that there are more supports out there other than you who suppose to be my main pillar. Let's continue to believe that there is always a hope, and miracle when you need help, breakthrough on whatever you have done previously and of course excel in every single thing we have looked forward. Once again, thanks to all my good great friends of mine. you guys are simply awesome.

You still can find this in PENANG- The traditional Facial!
Have you seen this before in any where else?
Ｉ saw this in Taipei during my last trip to Taiwan!
The main "function" is to remove hairs on your face and it will give u a smoother face after this.
Anyhow, I don't have the courage to try.
I salute this Man! he has lots of "hairs" on his face and yet he tried!
I bet he will have a sweet memory during his stay in Penang! :D

I'm back to the Wat Machimmaram temple after 5+ years (If i remember correctly).

Same place but with different friends! The 10-Storey-Height aka Southeast Asia's largest sitting Buddha is still the same, Big and "Gorgeous"!

A picture taken in front of the sitting Buddha statue with my colleagues during our recent trip to Kelantan! Although the sky was turning dark, but we managed to take this picture as a memory of our trip! Hope to visit Kelantan again for sightseeing as well as local delicacy! Kelantan, not as scary as what the politician said during campaign! It's just another city that full of uniqueness as well as trees!

It was an awesome Chinese New Year I had celebrated this year.
Other than house hopping in Penang, I had paid a special visit to Alor Star as well as Kulim!

Thanks to Zhang Hao for accompanying me to visit Steven in Alor Star as well as Lion Khoo in Kulim and be my half way driver back from Kulim.

It has been sometimes since my last meeting with Steven as well as his club members! I'm glad and felt honored for being able to join them to pay a CNY visit to Lion Chong who is the member of Lions Club of Alor Star (Host). We had a great time of sharing as well as chit-chatting.

Looking forward to visit more friends in other state in coming years! It was indeed a great moment! CNY is all about sharing! Yes we did! We shared laughter and care in this festive season! Rooooar
