Dream

Started to have goal of life, is the bright light shining into your life. From grey color you could able to find the color of your life. I found that i have been long time never dream of something which able to give me the good feeling after i wake up. Today after i wake up i still feel energetic to go through the day of my life and feel the great day of today.

People without a goal, it will be like the dead of your life. You will never know what is the next step you would like to do. You will always gone to the wrong channel and you need to turn it away again and again. Once you got the right channel, you will be able to enjoy your life and fight for it.

Hope everyone could find the dream of the life.

leisure in Penang

The day before the journey start was just like normal day, hanging out the day and get back home at night. Just pack few cloths which is more than enough for 3 days 2 nights. Never got excited or any other feeling, was just like going out like normal. Been staying at Penang Mainland for a week last year for my holiday after graduate. Therefore a trip to Penang for me was just normal without any excitement. But i love that place after 1 weeks stay in mainland.

Early morning wake up, gather up with my ex-colleague where they are going for business trip and i were going for a short holiday. All the way, both of them keep on talking where i'm those people who will sleep once i got into a car which need to travel more than 30minutes. They will give me a sudden "attack" which is shout my name loudly to make sure i am awake. When they tried the 3rd time i got awake as they said they are not going to wake me once they reach the first stop for our meal at Bidor the delicious Duck Thigh Herbs noodle. I'm totally waiting for that meal although i'm still full with my breakfast. It doesn't really dissapoint me as it is really delicious just a little salty.

After that we continue our journey to Penang island. I follow them to finish some of their task on this working day. Before we reach the last stop, we went to have a meal which is quite famous. We ate fried mee at an indian store whereby, all the indian in this shop could speak in Hokkien fluently. The fried mee, was full with ingredients like squid, vegetable, and others. I did not realise that parking in Penang island was having a different kind of ticketing system. As for my understanding there will be someone who write a ticket and place at your car, then after you get the ticket you will need to go further in front or other place to pay for this ticket. I saw that person doesnt look like from Government side. I found it weird and funny, as if i throw the ticket without paying no one will realise.

Then we continue to the last stop at Jalan Burma, Pulau Tikus to start their work. As for me, i'm staying alone at a corner in a air-condition environment with the dim light without anyone at the first floorin of the shop to have a very relaxing day. By online checking facebook and do some planning. Thanks for giving such an indulging time for myself with most finest ice cream, Häagen-Dazs. It melt into my heart and whole me. I had a creation called Caramelized Banana Split in such a relaxing environment and also feel so full. During weekdays there are only few customer in the shop therefore it is totally enjoying and relaxing.

I am really enjoying my life in this environment whereby, this is a life of a person who have nothing to worry about. I stay there till evening whereby my friend who is in Penang have some sudden work to be settle therefore they are not able to get me once i reach there. Till then i still with my ex-colleague to collect their room key at Gurney hotel. It is not bad, where the view is nice and the room is big and clean enough. There we are having a rest in the room before we out for dinner.

After some rest, we went out to look for our dinner. In Penang, mostly we will head to the hawker stall to eat their local food, which is really tasty. The place that we went to was Northam Beach Cafe, it is quite nice if we are able to sit near the side whereby will be an open air with sea view, the wind blow is very nice. Sadly, when we reach there, there is a little rain so we sit at the place which have shelter.

We ordered quite a lot of food to share like fried oyster, grilled fish, fried "la la", salty fish tau fu, fried chicken skin, "chee cheong fun", mua chi (pandan & sesame flavours) with peanut jam, and also carrot juice and "ambra" juice (still not able to pronouce the name of the drink).

The recommended food was fried salty fish tau fu, fried chicken skin, grilled fish and fried "la la". All this food make me cant forget the moment at there. I'm totally full that night which makes me feel lazy to walk around.

After all my Penang's friend have free time after work and pick me up, but i'm not able to consume anything more so we just drive around the town area and to mainland. There we get some alcoholic drink and enjoy it that night. We then stay out at the Red Rock hotel where it seems to be a more local hotel, It does give me a feel where people are just going there for a room to have sex. It is really funny though, there we have some talk and also some drinks. Whereby i doesnt really sleep well, as we keep on chatting.

The next morning, we went to the opposite road to eat chicken rice. After that meal, my friend need to settle some urgent work, and there i request to go to Kek Lok Si temple to walk around myself for few hour before the work is done. I'm quite addicted to explore around myself after my trip to Hong Kong previously. Because from there we may able to look out for more different thing and we may also open our mind with this freedom.

I never know i will still be able to enjoy myself around this temple as i have been visiting this temple quite a number of time. But i found out that, each time i walk there i could find something different. I never know we can drive up to the temple entrance.

Everytime, i'll need to walk from the foothills to the tophills whereby the statue of "Guan Yin" is located. I came to their temple and i found that the temple is a place which is full of art. There is a lot of carvings on the wall and the ceilings. Then i get to the tophills to look for the giant statue of Guan Yin which need to take cable car which require to pay RM4 for return way. The cable can be reach at the temple at the middle of the hill, it need to keep walking towards up the hill where the direction we may just follow the Statue of Guan Yin. At the left hand side of the the second hall of the temple. There is lot of changes compare to my past visit where i got to explore to more places than last time.

As we grow up we will be able to see things differently in different time and place. There we will be able to feel differently although it is at the same place. This time at the same destination, i found that we may visit to the Pagoda which i don't realise it from all my visit in the past. It is also at the same level to get the cable car but the other side of the hall to get through to the Pagoda and also the new phase of temple. There is also a bell which able to be knock for blessing.

It seems like a place for the monk to have their meditation but somehow now is already being a place for tourist to visit and look around as it have a greater view on top of this hills where we need to pay RM2 for the entrance fees.

After those visit i decided to leave so i go down by using the pathway, i found that there is beggar around here. When i pass through some of the places like vegetarian restaurant i remember the place that famous for vegetarian consume at Hong Kong. But i am too full to have the vegetarian meal. I'm going there the next time to enjoy it.

Then slowly i got to the places where i am quite familiar which is the long stair walkway which have lot of store which is selling souvenir. There i also found beggar around which we won't see it in the past. In the middle of the stairway, it has a pond which is for those people to let go their tortoise or turtle there. It is quite nice feeling at that place.

Then as i go down, i found there is another walkway where it is already closed where i understand from the shop owner that is the old pathway for long time ago. Nowadays, i also realise that there is lot of indian who is also visiting to this temple. Along the way i saw a school there, which is look like another small town in Penang island.

Once, my friend done the work and come to fetch me to have Asam Laksa which is the famous cuisine in Penang. But sadly that those are more famous did not open where they said Wednesday was the day that most of the shop in Penang will be close. But he still manage to bring me to a another shop to have Asam Laksa and there i found a drinks which is a little sour and a little sweet which is not found in KL.

After that we tour around Penang Island which we may have a different view compare to travel in the city of Penang island. It seems to be another side of Penang island, i can look through more nature view of this island where this place is no longer in the city. Then we reach to Hard Rock Cafe Hotel to have a visit and walk at the beach to feel the nature. We stay there for a while and then we went back to the city and we watch a movie at Gurney Plaza. After the movie Megamind we went back to the Gurney hotel to have a rest and wait to meet another group of friend in Penang for dinner.

There they brought me to the Pulau Tikus area to have dinner at the hawker stall, but this look more local where it is not very big, not bright enough and people at there are totally speaking in Hokkien which i cant understand them. We also ordered quite lot of food to be share. While waiting for the food, suddenly there is someone shouting police is here. I got shock, whereby i don't know what should i do and what is happening. Then my friend rush to get his car, it is actully that they park at illegal parking therefore they need to drive the car away. The dishes that we ordered was chicken chop, claypot chicken rice, fried rice (cook by a 10years old kids), squid, fried oyster, and fried carrot cake. To had such a dinner which makes us feel so guilty where some of the food have to be wasted. Those food which is nice are the fried oyster and the squid.

Then they decided to go clubbing after that, i felt so weird but i did not reject them. I did not have any preparation for that which i only wear sandals, shorts, and singlet to the party. They say it is a new club called Vodoo and that was a ladies night. Then i follow them to the club to have some drinks and fun. The funny thing was, we found there is a guy which is very thin and start dancing at around 11something till the end of the party. He is superb funny and energetic. Then my friend told me that, this guy will be at the club every Wednesday and keep dancing alone at there. This club seems to be quite bright. But their design seems to be not bad.

Is around 2am, we come out from the club and went to a place which all the Penang people will have their supper after each time they go to club. There we have Ba Kut Teh, Hokkien mee (aka Prawn mee in KL), and Curry Laksa (quite special as their ingredients is totally different). After that i back to hotel and have a rest.

The next morning, i prepare to get back to KL. Before leaving i still accompany my ex-colleague to accomplish the work of the day in Penang. There they went to work and i went to a hawker stall nearby to have a quite famous Ducks Herbs Noodle Soups. This is real delicious, i like it so much as for my brunch.

After they have done their work we get to Queensbay Mall to have our tea break. Before we go to the airport, we went to Air Itam to have another Asam Laksa which is near Kek Lok Si temple and it is really nice. This is how i got my leisure in Penang.

Penang was a place that we keep eating and seaside.
