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

Random Visit to Teluk Kumbar

I got a friend living at Teluk Kumbar, on last semester I used to fetch her home after class. Well, she is my primary school mates and also my local friend too. After dropped her home, I went to Teluk Kumbar seaside to take a look for the beautiful scenery.

I wonder that the little seaside estate was well developed as the modern living housing estate called as Sunway Aspera. The houses at there were directly faced to the sea and in front of that having a service road which can see the seaview and enjoy the sunbath too...

The pretty seaview of Teluk Kumbar. You can view it widely at here. Better advice is come during sunset, because the sun is really bright, perhaps you can snap some photographs of sunset living too! :D

The developer Sunway Properties has planted the conifer plants at the sea side and tends to make it as a little "Gurney Drive". I liked the environment there which you can witness those fishermen how they capture the fish and you can even buy the fresh raw seafood from them. There is also famous for fresh raw prawns!

I snapped myself before I left the beautiful place which near to my hometown. I hope this place is not over developed and the fisherman jetty should maintain and the kampung village should upgrade as well. The friendly people and the pretty environment especially beautiful sandy beach should be maintained! I Love Teluk Kumbar, do you? Posted by GenYong 29.11.2012

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

Ipoh Friends Visiting Penang

My Ipoh friends were visiting Penang on previous month. If not mistaken, I remembered the date was fall on 13th September 2012 which is a weekday. I was like the tourist guide welcome them to Penang and brought them to somewhere to explore the Georgetown. They were having the sem break on that time and I suggested them to come over Penang. *They are from UTAR Kampar.

#1 This is Poh Ching and Shanice Ng. 

I met with them at 1st Avenue and that day I was too excited to meet up them and explored for 3 shopping complex and find them for almost 1 hour. For myself, I am welcome any of my friends to visit Penang as I am willing to be their tour guide too. As if one day, you want to visit Penang, can contact me as well xD.

#2We started off from Cannon Street spotted the mural arts at the corner.

#3 Here we came to the Armenian Street and spotted another mural arts.

For this mural arts, I told them this is made by steel as they not believe and even walk in front and have a touch. They were feeling amazing how come steel also can produce the artistic mural arts. It was awesome right? 

We were walking along the Armenian Street. On the way, we saw the Cheah Si Kongsi and beside it is a unique building which full of plants. I was remembered that Axian (local food explorer) was mentioned before this is the cool Coffee Shop. So we checked out for the opening days and the opening hours too.

#4 Here come to the most popular mural arts in Penang! They are Poh Ching and Shanice Ng.

#5 WenXuan and Pika in action, OMG they were shy! xD

#6 The two brothers who came from Ipoh and also called as the bodyguards for those girls. :D

Then we moved on to Ah Quee Street for another mural arts. Penang have a lot of mural arts recently that created by the fantastic artist Ernest Zacharevic. He was so amazing and so creative to turn the Georgetown alive in heritage site. Even though I am a Penangite, this was my first time exploring about the mural arts.

#7 The girls in action, from left Poh Ching, Shanice Ng, Yi Ching.

#8 Shanice Ng, she is my friend. We knew each other from Leo Club since year 2010. She was the Leo Club President in SMK Idris Shah Gopeng, Perak if I am not mistaken. :D

#9 Poh Ching, a friendly girl I can say. Not know her very well, knew her through Shanice just before they came to Penang. xD 

#10 Yi Ching, a Penang girl who looks familiar and friendly but she never talk a lot.

Hui Min, a Penang girl who study in Singapore now and back to join Yi Ching exploring Penang.

#11 The boys in action now. Wen Xuan, who is the close friend to Shanice Ng and I knew him from her too! Pika, I knew him on that day, sorry ya! :D 

Everyone was in action and posing in front of the mural arts! This mural art is spotted by my Ipoh friends and they said it was cool. They even agree with the statement above as most of them are from the course of Foundation in Arts.

The pretty girl (leng lui) Poh Ching in the telephone booth having the great pose on the mural arts. She was so friendly and yet funny in talking. Am I right, Poh Ching? Haha... 

They stayed in Penang for 3 days 2 nights. The next day I was working and couldn't join up them for Kek Lok Si and Penang Hill outing but I was glad to join them for supper after my work. Everyone was looked tired after the 2 days outing on that night and it was amazing and nice to have the outing with all my friends! Well, I hope I can meet up them soon maybe in Perak this year end? See first. :D Posted by GenYong 15.10.2012
