My 18th Birthday Celebrations

Yeah! Finally I have the chance to blog about my 18th birthday celebrations. It was happened about a month ago (22.09.2012), I am so sorry for delaying those blog post. My 18th Birthday, not a special one but it's meaningful... I don't know why will have the feeling of comfortable once you are celebrating birthday with family. It was so nice and relaxing! :D

#1 We went to Burmah Road to buy some tarts before proceeding for my birthday celebrations/

#2 Here is the place we went! It's Hai Nan Western Food which originated from Mount Erskine, this was their branch that located at Terengganu Road (near Heng Ee High School). 

#3 We had ordered ourselves the set dinner and also some snacks like garlic bread with mushroom soup.

#4 I had myself a set of Chicken grilled with sauce. I forgot the name of it but just remember of something like "Paris Style Grilled Chicken".. xD

#5 My dad ordered himself a plate of Grilled Trio set... which contained of Grilled Fish, Grilled Chicken and also Grilled Lamb. I tried... It was nice too!

#6 My sister ordered a plate of Chicken Cordon Bleu. Not bad but just a bit dry.

#7 Yes I am the Birthday boy!

Actually on that night I was surprise there was another team of people celebrating her friends birthday as well in that restaurant. I wished to celebrate together with them but end up I just blow the cake myself with my family. The main reason is because I don't know them well and the feeling of paiseh also! So just holding a cake and snapped photos will do.

#8 Photos with my parents and thanks to them for giving me the opportunities to share the happiness with them in this 18 years and I promised I will be better me in the future.

#9 Photos with my sister and my mum... I am glad to have a cute and caring sister. Although she is younger than me, she knows how to support me in such events and activities too. I have such a good sister and good mum too! :D

After the dinner, since it was Saturday night and we went to Straits Quay for a simple outing. Relax ourselves after a week of working days, and we seldom be there also. That's why we took the chance to visit there again. 

#10 Straits Quay, the waterfront shopping complex in Penang.

#11 Straits Quay is a nice place to take photos. 

This is my family group photo that taken by someone.

#12 It was the Volkswagen fair there! See the red bettle!

#13 I made my first time to Chatime Galleria at Straits Quay. 

I will blog more about it soon.

#14 Straits Quay is a good place for promotions too. That time was mooncake festival and many booths selling mooncakes and attracted the crowds of people.

#15 When you come to Straits Quay, this is a must visit place! A place for your to enjoy walking with your loved ones, chit chatting out your feeling, enjoying the sea breeze too.

#16 The nice interior lightings in the atrium of the mall. 

It was full of lanterns and the colourful lightings!

#17 Wow LIKE A BOSS owning The Volkswagen Bettle. My dad has taken the photo for me and it looks like I owned the car... xD!

#18 The interior look of Volkswagen Bettle... It was a nice car. and it's good for couples! It looks so sporty and suits for teens.

#19 The engine parts of The Bettle. It was really cool and tidy and really looks different like the normal cars in the market now.

#20 Besides that, there was exhibited the Volkswagen Golf GTI too... It looks bigger and suitable for family. But the price is not affordable for my family yet, maybe when I get the great job in the future, I will consider of buying it... still long time to go. xD!

I was glad to have family with me to celebrate my 18th birthday. I was disappointed couldn't have the chance to celebrate my birthday with my friends but I hope next year I have more friends to celebrate with me. Thanks to my parents and sisters who always stay with me and cheer me up! Thank you. Posted by GenYong 05.11.2012

Taiping-Sitiawan-Ipoh One Day Trip (Part 1)

Last month, I was so glad to have many celebrations with family. There were my birthday, family trip and many more. I will try my best to blog out soon later. Well, on 1st September 2012 it was a replacement holiday for National Day. I was requested day off on that date and planned an outing with family.


#1 Taiping the Heritage City
We were out from house in the early morning around 5 or 6 something and travelled along the North South Highway to reach Taiping. Actually our destination is to the Seaside Tua Pek Kong Temple at Pasir Panjang, Sitiawan.

#2 Had my breakfast - Dried Koay Teow before we moved on.

It was a long way from Taiping traveled to Sitiawan. It was like a different town from Taiping or Ipoh city. It is located at the district of Manjung which not well developed yet like Ipoh City. We traveled along the estate and on the way there was a lot of trees and forest but there was really few cars. Along the way, I can see the view of kampung.

#3 After the 2 hours journey from Taiping, we finally reached that place!

#4 The statues that set up in front of temple was so huge and cool.

#5 There was a kids fun park inside the temple area too.

#6 Behind the temple there was a place for people to take a rest and maybe buy for something. An advice to you, if you want to buy those Perak popular items, buy it other place because the price at there is a bit expensive.

#7 Here come the classical temple of Tua Pek Kong.

#8 The four statue of the God in front of the temple entrance!

There were crowded of people inside the temple. As many of them were visitors like us. From my grandma, this temple was founded long time ago by the villagers by the sea and recently there was a Singapore investor getting a good luck from the Tua Pek Kong in this temple and as the rewards back he donated a big amount of money to rebuild and renew the temple and turned it into the another tourist spot at Sitiawan.

#9 The nice scenery can be captured behind the temple. It was so nice!

#10 It is a pond which full of fishes.

#11 The beautiful and natural look of the pond.

#12 I am in action with my new hairstyle in front of the nice scenery!

#13 My sister in action with her chubby face! :D
Alright I think the first part I will end here and stay tuned for the Part 2 coming up soon. In next post, I will continue blogging about this temple and also the trip to Ipoh. Check it out... Posted by GenYong 10.10.2012
