Where everyone is a Chew

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 06:16:00 +0000

A little settlement by the jetty. There's one for every surname!

Heavy lunch

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 06:05:00 +0000

When in Penang, eat like an islander. Nasi kandar time!

Smart donation box

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 03:15:00 +0000

By the Penang Rotary Club. Insert a coin, and it spins around in the bowl for a few minutes before dropping into the donation box. People will part with their coins if they can get their money's worth!

Havoc satay in Burma Road

Every type of satay you can think of. Spicy chicken, honey chicken, pork, blackpepper pork, boar, ... At the 127 Hawker Centre off Burma Road

Just leaving the office

The DiGi office in Penang is located in the eGate business park. Lovely view of the sea front and Penang bridge.

Not my baby

We're now doubling up as a playground. Smile for the camera! (Ranga: I've graduated to number 2 on the razor!)

The after shot

The DiGi Internet roadshow is up and running now in Gurney Plaza. Some mad moments this morning, but all's good now. Excellent event organiser. Now, time to sell!

The before shot

Watching the event crew setup Gurney Plaza for the DiGi Internet roadshow. The centrecourt is going to be transformed in a few hours. Team is targeting 5am!

Still eating past midnight!

Fried oysters near Sunway Hotel. Good stuff. Fingers crossed that tummy doesn't over react :)

Wouldn't you like to work here?

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:13:00 +0000

Just paid my buddy Kris a visit. He's still up working! Cozy heritage shophouse in Armenian Street.

Tong Yuen near Traders Hotel

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:09:00 +0000

Just had awesome "sweet dumplings" at this stall outside Traders Hotel in Penang. Small setup, 2 tables, wet chairs, light drizzle, "fa sang" in mine (peanut paste). Home made taste, although I can't really tell!

Authentic Penang Prawn Mee

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:09:00 +0000

In Penang tonight. Another DiGi Internet roadshow this weekend!

Out and about in KK

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:55:00 +0000

There's just something about KK that makes it seem special. If you're looking for party central, head over to Shenanigan's.

Jetplane broke down

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:54:00 +0000

Someone please fix this AirAsia plane to KK. It's ruining my Thursday night party plans. They asked us to get off the plane 10 minutes into the taxi-ing sequence. 1.5 hours behind schedule now!

Number 1 in Penang

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 05:28:00 +0000

Tuan Lim Guan Eng officiating the launch of DiGi Turbo 3G.

DiGi Internet Now in Penang!

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 03:38:00 +0000

Press conference today. DiGi Turbo 3G now available for mobile phones. I've been given the unenviable task of presenting to the media. Boo hoo!

Working in Penang

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 09:49:00 +0000

Working from a nice restaurant in Georgetown. Overlooks the jetty / ferry terminal. Here till tomorrow. Tiring days ahead.

Because I was late

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 04:56:00 +0000

My colleagues and I are now lining up in the longest queue in Shah Alam. Best South Indian food at Sree Kasturi Curry House. Lunch on me for obvious reasons :)

First time on Firefly

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 22:35:00 +0000

Off to Penang for a day trip. Yawning.

Unusual coffee

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 07:51:00 +0000

There's coffee in all these beer bottles. This coffee shop in KK recycles beer bottles and fills them up with iced coffee. Doesn't taste extraordinary, but sure feels cool to be "drinking" early.

View from the 8th floor

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 04:31:00 +0000

Here at the Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu. Wish I could stay longer!

Seafood galore

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:49:00 +0000

Snails, crabs, fish, and prawns. 4 fatties.

Salut Seafood

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:36:00 +0000

Supposedly the best in Kota Kinabalu. Here with a couple of colleagues and the local experts.

Doctors & Nurses

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 02:50:00 +0000

Nothing like low cost, high impact marketing. We've got nurses dressed in yellow walking around the office today promoting 3G. Think H1N1 but friendlier. DiGi 3G, coming soon!
