Bukit Jambul Lakeside Town

Penangites, do you heard before Bukit Jambul? Bukit Jambul is located at the district of Bayan Lepas as a zone surrounding with Bayan Baru FTZ area. Bukit Jambul actually is a small hill which full of the bungalows nowadays. On top of the hill still contain of one resort Hotel Equatorial, INTI College, Fairview International School, USM campus and many more. The Bukit Jambul hill is now well developed!

I went there after dropping my friend back to his house at Lakeside Tower. Since I had the camera with me, so I tried to capture down the nice picture from the lake and look for the reflection mode. It was nice and the reflection is really like printed on the surface of water.

It's a lake which contain of fish and some natural phenomenons. It's a good place for those residents to do their exercise like jogging and maybe some recreation activities. The place is yet quiet and you can enjoy the sound of the lake water as well.

Lakeside Towers were built on around year 1994 which was the 1st project by IJM Land at Bukit Jambul. As well the land there is now developed with another 4 high rise towers which called as Park View and also Alpine Tower. The whole project involved 6 towers which facing the view of Sungai Ara and Relau.

This is Park View Tower! 

I have taken the photos from the Fairview International School (formerly known as Lake Plaza). 

The Alpine Tower which is the latest project by IJM Land.

Fairview International School is the most latest spot at there. The building is formerly known as Lake Plaza which developed for the shopping retailing hotspot. I think maybe it's due to the low marketing level and caused the Lake Plaza ended up with no business and turned into an International School.

Yes the Super Condo... Alpine Tower. I like the design and also the colour too! It was the amazing design for the year of 2000-2006 which those building design is not yet that modern. Alright, Alpine Tower, Park View Towers and also Lakeside Towers, are you living there? If yes, can share something with me? :D I really missed that lake! Posted by GenYong 09.12.2012

Gertak Sanggul Driving Tour

Hello guys, I am sorry because I was busy in preparation on my exam previously and busy on managing the Facebook page too. I will blog more about that soon! :D So let's review the blog post that I haven't show up here:

Recently, I was interested to spot the sunset and capture for the sea view around Penang. I found that around my home are having a lot of places to capture for nice photos. I was driving to Gertak Sanggul alone after dropping my friend back to Teluk Kumbar after class ends. Well, I was first time driving there and I was like "rusa masuk kampung" and saw a lot of motorbikes around and there was less car compare to the city.

#1 Here is the place, my friend always said here is the end of Penang Island... Yup because there are no road access to anywhere and you can just U turn back.

#2 The place I like because of having the beautiful seaside and the beautiful seaview.

#3 The nice seaview I had ever seen there!

#4 I feel that this is the nice photo taken and I made it as artistic style.

#5 The kids were playing on the spoiled ship.

#6 I love this little jetty, I think this was no longer using but it was like a good place to view the sea and relax your mind. Not bad!

#7 The spoiled ship is hold with the strong and thick string to balance the ship.

#8 Yes I was there myself and try to camwore myself... Funny right? xD

#9 Gertak Sanggul is a small village which near to sea and hill. Inside the village there is a primary school and few kampung houses. The seaside there was so nice and clean!

#10 It was like a forest there and it's good for relaxing your mind.

#11 The only bridge to reach the small village and this bridge is the only way for people to go out to town.

Gertak Sanggul is located after Teluk Kumbar. You will need to travel another 10-15 minutes to reach the small village, and the road was small and less car. Be extra cautious because the road is quite bend! Once you reach there, must check out the seaside there and maybe visit their village. There is something interesting there! I am glad that Penang still have such places for relaxing... Hope it lasts long! Posted by GenYong 04.11.2012

Botanical Garden Outing with Family

Penang is a great place, besides having a nice beach in Batu Ferringhi. There are also a few Green Spots for the citizen. One of that is the largest Park in island, which called Botanical Garden. Inside the Botanical Garden there are having a lot species of plants. Citizens usually will spend their weekends evening having a jog or a walk there for being exercise themselves.

#1 The Green plants on the flower pot.

#2 The Botanical Garden has been changed a lot. Since the failed project of building the two large gate and now it turned into the beautiful lily pond and attracted a lot of people taking photographs here.

#3 The funny camwhoring of myself.

#4 Under the leaves of Lily plants.

#5 It was like looking up from the pond.
P/s I actually placed my camera on top of the lily leaf and snap it carefully.

#6 My dad and sister were enjoying the moments of walking around the pond.

#7 Here come to the Botanical Garden. Choose your way, long or the short one?

#8 Here we go, we chosen the short one.

#9 There was a band performance in the park by the Chung Hwa Confucian School.

#10 It was attracted a lot of audiences to enjoy the music while exercising in the park.

#11 Many of the Penangites were there enjoying their jogging and walking there.

#13 Some flowers and beautiful plants found in Botanical Garden.

#16 Here come my turn and my beloved mum.

#17 I was sweating all the way when taking the photos.

#18 Some random shot in a closed garden although photography is prohibited. Who cares? xD

#19 Taking a camwhoring photo with my sister at the entrance of Botanical Garden.

#20 Myself camwhoring at the entrance before we leave. It looks funny, i know! :D

#21 Finally, we were having a group photo by my dad.

It was a nice family outing although we were first time there in the evening. I was long time never been to Botanical Garden. I feel proud because Penang have such kind of relaxing park for the citizens to relax their mind after a week of hard works. I wish I can be there more frequently for every weekends if can.

D'Rock @ Setia Pearl Island

Yo can you rock the world? Hahahaa. Actually what's D'Rock? D'Rock is a natural place which developed in Setia Pearl Island. My house was located near there so I used to every week will go there for once. I can comment that the place there was the peak of the residence area. The place was formed because of the big rock there. The developer Setia Properties did not destroy out the rock but they renovate and refurnish it back and turn to the natural exercising estate.

The first time I went there, I was so surprise to come to this new place which I could see out of the sky and the housing estate nearby. The cool wind was blowing up my mind and I went up there to do my SPM chinese revision before. It was a cool place which suits everyone! A playground up there for children's usage.

I could view the scenery of Bayan Lepas and could see the second Penang Bridge too! It was so nice. I could see those developing houses and which land going to be develop and more. It's a good place to be there for relaxing your mind, release stress and more!

I believe that those Setia Pearl Island residence should know about that. Although they know about that, I saw less people will be going there to have their exercise. Well, maybe is the security problem because that area was secured with security guard, not many people can be there unless you're the residence there! I told the security guard that I go in for exercise so he could let me in! xD

Besides that, Setia Pearl Island Reflection Sky Tower was developing fast now! I think already having higher than 10 floors built. The good quality of building and many workers are working there now. Not bad! I think perhaps next year this building will be completed and more residents are moving in! That time my house there really traffic jam and I am now worry of that! =(

I was there relaxing myself and it's a good place to have some photos shoot too!

The special designed ship was located on top of D'Rock! 

Last few days I went exercising with my sister... We used to walk there from our home and took some jogging up to the hill. After getting the permission from the security guard, we went up there to enjoy the nice scenery view and my sister had made her first time being there. She told me to bring her up to this place again to relax her mind next time. So you should visit there once! Posted by GenYong 26.12.2011
