Planning

As you know from the last post, I had already done 4 out of 5


Oh, that one? Well, forget it! Outta cash, peeps! Sorry~

I am looking forward for my next plan! You must be thinking, "Heck this guy is so free, wasting time on everything." Umm, well for your information, when I am in the interval of my driving lesson and work, I am completely like a nucleus of an atom.


Still in the center while everything around me moves. Yes, that kind of 'freedom'

Back to my main topic, I am planning to go for a vacation!


First and foremost, I am good-for-nothing except planning. I am excellent for it, you know!

1. Choosing location/date


Genting Highland, city of entertainment. A place where every single Malaysian should go before thinking of outstation.

Date: Confidential =P

2. Budget


You would want to check it out yourself as I took around 2 hours to finalize my budget list. Use your maths skills thoughtfully.

3. Companions

Family or Friends? Or both? Well, this time my trip is going to be with my friends. It's fun with family thought but once a while, friends only could be fun too!

4. Dateline for confirmation


Waiting for friends to confirm whether they can go or not can be frustrating. Some took around 10 minutes to confirm and others took around 10 days! Therefore, it's not that we love to lie but a little of peer pressure will do the trick. Quote, "Time is money"

5. Wait

As the last step, that's all we have to do. Next step? Wait; till the date come.

Just to break some curiosity among you, my trip will be around 2 weeks from now. Therefore, just wait for my vacation to be over and I will tell you my experience! In the mean while,


Have a great time, peeps! *smile*

Holiday Season

First and foremost, SPM is waaaaaay over!


Yup, there will be a "White Christmas" for me this year. Let's see what I have plan for these couple of weeks before January arrived.

1. Watch my favorite Narnia


Narnia will and forever will be my favorite movie. It's quite interesting to watch the actor/actress in the movie to grow up. Especially Georgie Henley aka Lucy Pevensie.

In the first movie she was cute. =)


And now,


Growing to be a fine young lady. That's wonderful!

2. Hunt for Christmas presents

Presents for friends and family, seriously? I looking for something memorable and cheap. I kinda broke here? I am just a student!!

3. Hanging out with friends

Brats Teenagers. *smile*

4. Watch Tron: Legacy


First of all, I have no idea what is Tron. When I watch the trailer for the first time, it gave me quite a strong impression and makes me wanna watch it. Kinda cool.

5. Prom

"You come to a school as a boy and you leave the school as a gentleman," quoting someone I knew. Very inspiring.

Well, as the last activity together with the fellow Form 5, having fun is the main priority but things before going to prom, Hairdresser!


With wax/gel/hairspray


Maybe I should reduce the usage of hairspray, or else I might entitle for the Corny Collins Show


Spooky...

Straits Quay

Despite my SPM is still going on and taking a break off is quite....... reasonable!


The Straits Quay! Branches of the E&O company and it's open for public on the same day as the 1st Avenue Mall Penang.


This "mall" is very Eastern and Oriental and from far, it looks more like a hotel than a mall.


Oh wait, it IS a hotel, not for now but soon will be based on this picture I captured.


Due to the holiday season, Christmas Tree is a MUST for every place including the incomplete Straits Quay.


Inside too!


The interior is not half bad but seriously, it's like I am walking in E&O Hotel. The similarity is just too much and obvious.


When there is a quay, there's a ...... LIGHTHOUSE!


Sometimes it's quite clever of human to able to make sea into land. You can never thought of that idea 50 years ago and now, sooner I think Penang Island going to merge with the mainland.

On the first day of Christmas~
My true love give to me~
Lights in the Straits Quay!

Beautiful! In my opinion, Straits Quay might not be the next "IT" mall due to the limited shops available but it can be the business trade area for F&B and leisure.

However, it's still a new place and you people out there might want to wait till every shop is open because most of the shop is still


Opening Soon, yea? Soon....

Weekly Craze: You Raise Me Up

1st Avenue Mall Penang

"Is Penang ready for another mall?" Well, why don't you explore it yourself!


The 1st Avenue Mall had just open for public on the 25th of November. The interior was kinda stylish. My interpretation about the interior is 'Gurney meets Pavilion... in a smaller size'.


Since it's only open yesterday, not many store are open yet but I can roughly say that 40% of the shop has already open.


Yes, Kenny Roger's Roasters! No need for us to go till Queensbay Mall for one. Simple head to 1st Avenue Mall.


Rotiboy is kinda the hit for this newly open mall. Maybe they attract customer by promotion such as "Like" their Facebook page for a coupon.


Not as I expected for a classy mall but still acceptable...


Shops and more shops. Never bored with all these 'window shopping' shop. How nice of them.

The technology in this mall kinda amused me. Example, the Infrared Sensor Door.

Most of the mall these days use slide door and yet, a little bit of old school and technology sure is nostalgia.


Next, Transparent glass lift. Creepy yet enjoying!

I am predicting 1st Avenue Mall 'almost' going to the same with Gurney Plaza because of this.


Red Box! Young teens' heaven; but they will be quite disappointed by the 'arcade'.


Arcade ya.... I wonder. It looks more like a playground for kids.

Anyway, the difference between this mall and others is you can see the world from this mall. LITERALLY seeing the world; Penang of course.

I wonder how will it be when night falls?


Escalator Gurney-style! Amusing but I like it!


If you are free, try out the new Nerf guns! If you like it buy it, if not well you have fun shooting it. On the 28th of November, the Flyfm crew will come to this mall for a match out! If you are free, check them out!

Conclusion, 1st Avenue Mall is quite enjoying although the size is smaller than Gurney but hey, it's in town. Better than Prangin Mall and most important, wayyyy better than Penang Times Square!

There is something strange in this mall, makes me ponder and wonder... What are they going to build here?


Hmmm... *curious*

Best of Lucks!

To all SPM and STPM candidates, all the best and

Battle of Fast Food

If you were asked to name 2 fast food restaurant, it's clear that it will be

McDonald's aka McD

Kentucky Fried Chicken aka KFC

Yes, the battle between burgers and fried chickens. Upon catching up the modern taste buds, both of these restaurants released a new flavor! Let's review!

McDonald's had been snatching the teens' hearts because of the free refills they offer; And the results was almost all outlet had became a 'library'.


Yes, from Triple Cheeseburger to Black Pepper Spicy Chicken McDeluxe to this, McChicken Supreme. Well, I can't practically take beef, so sorry but the second twist was definitely a hit, until, this. McChicken with the addition of

A slice of 'Smoky Chicken' which practically looks like a ham or bacon

And a slice of tomato.. Nice?

Well, with the additional ingredients come with an additional price. Guess what? It costs RM1.20 more than McChicken! A bacon and slice of tomato.... RM1.20? Anyway, the crunchy chicken patty overcome the taste of the 'smoky chicken', so it taste 95% the same from McChicken. 'Awesome'!

In other hand we have KFC! Finger licking good chicken that never fail to satisfied our taste bud but let's check out the new product.


Yes, spices make everything prefect, the Mega Mix Crunch; but sometimes it could be very disappointing. Couple days ago my friend and I went to an outlet in Farlim and when he ordered the dishes, it SERIOUSLY looked the same compared to the Hot & Spicy. Yes, the same!

Anyway, I think it might be the outlet problem because it's quite different when I visited other outlet in Penang. The taste was pretty nice, a little spicier than the regular Hot & Spicy; just it's disappointing when it's just a little difference. Price wise, thumbs up. *smile*

Overall, the new products from each restaurant have their own pros and cons. Choose wisely when you wanted to try anything new because you might be even heartbroken due to disappointment! Well, since fast food are quite unhealthy nowadays, why not go organic?


Yes to spinach!.... 0.0''
