Bai Bai Irene

hmm.. time flies, i still remembered the time we farewell HY a year ago! The numerous farewells (trend set by HY) is repeated here again. Well, at least we did different things this time!

Anyway, i will miss another early morning friend who comes early enough to get water with me!

Just wanted to wish all da best to Irene for whatever she is doing next! Take care and keep in touch!

Last night was a fun night out! Started with good food at Salsa, though poor TT got stomachache and CC ate some uncooked chicken. Anyway, after dinner, we proceeded to Soho where we made so much noise as to bring the house down.. Playing foosball or "peng hu" as Botak calls what i was doing. Haven't laughed so much for quite a while... Haha... Thanks everyone!

well, i will wait for Botak or Uncle Hor to blog about the night.. and link it here!

Wesak Day Procession in Penang

Surprised by Big Boss!

Smelt a fish when my boss's boss, my boss and my project manager all came to get me to go the coffee talk given by our VP today!

Well, didn't know they were going to present me with a plaque, shipped all the way from US! :)
Luckily TT warned me! thanks alot! As our VP didn't even state my name, he just look at me straight in the eye, and talked about 0.000000000.. ( not sure how many knots he said) 1 degrees of uncertainty. Well, he likes to joke!

Anyway, this is indeed a good surprise!

And most of all, thanks to all ( you know who u are) who help me in this project! Arigato! This plaque is for you too! :)

慧音大厦 动土典礼

Resting

Strange thing that after lunch yesterday i was feeling really unwell... Sudden bout of attack on my lungs, nose and throat! Basically, i was having an itchy throat, slighly stuffy nose and coughing non-stop the whole afternoon.

So i went home early after work last night, drank some soup and went to bed. This morning, i got up, ate breakfast and went back to bed, ate lunch and went back to bed. Ok... My cough and itchy throat is now gone! Luckily for me, this time the remedy was just more sleeping time and i recovered!

I think i better rest more! Age must be catching up, body can't take the strain as much as my younger days!

Visit Penang!

Was playing my role as a tourist guide again! Hmm.. Well, i haven't played this role for over a year!

Well, abandoned my Penang Hill plans - as i saw bus loads of ppl heading this way up.. Just can't be bothered to spend my time q-ing! So, i took Ali for a walk at the Youth Park! I was surprised that it is jam-packed! It was a nice morning walk anyway, i was surprised they have managed to built up Youth Park very nicely, with some small pool for children and even roller blading park! cool! Wish i was a kid again! All their outdoor gym equipment are in splendid conditions. All are in working conditions! Bravo to the municipal of Penang. It was certainly a job well done! They do deserve a pat on their back!

After we had our drink of water, we were all sweaty by then, I decided to go peranakan mansion. I was kinda dissapointed that it was close! Damm! So I proceeded to Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, too late, they are only now open for tours at 11 and 3. Damm! Well, it's kinda sad state of affairs that these 2 restored heritage building (after some kind rich soul spending millions on them) that the publicity for visit penang is so poor that they are not making enough money to pay their staff to man the place! Something needs to be done to bring in more tourist to our pearl of the orient- penang as it used to be known! Penang has quite a lot of attractive places, even locals don't know them! i have been introducing lots of them to even penangites themselves! I hope the present state government will be able up to polish up this faded diamond!
