"Langkawi Penguin"

The biggest penguin species is the "Langkawi Penguin"

Leisure Friday

New Starbitez Pizza advert!

Went for Starbitez Pizza @ Pizza Hut last Friday for lunch with KK.
Took Super Supreme flavour for the pizza. Yummm...
The pizza has "fingers" which are actually mini hot-dogs.
It was sliced into "heart shape"... and I find that rather amusing... haha
Or maybe I'm just easily amused =p


Heart-shape pizza

Went for Tepanyaki dinner @ Yaki Teppan in Sg. Nibong with collegues and meeting up with Lay Ching.
It was a pleasant dinner and I had my tummy filled up to the max as the portion was huge.
Had combination of chicken, fish and prawn tepanyaki.
It was a set dinner and it comes with garlic rice, salad, miso soup, fried wanton, jelly (for dessert) and juice.




After dinner some of us went for movie.
Supposed to be watching "Wanted" by Angelina Jolie but.......

The ticket bought online was for Thursday's movie!

Hahaha...

(Tan was feeling very TL... definately not his day... ~.~
maybe he woke up from the wrong side of the bed... hehe)

But I guess when we began to look back on this incident in the future, we'll have a good laugh at it =D
No worries.


So finally we did not manage to watch "Wanted" but we went for "The Happening" instead.
It started out grusome. And the grusome-ness continues.... *lol*
"The Happening" tells of a certain pollen or chemical which is released from plants.
These pollen firstly cripples the human/animal brain which causes the malfunction of action and speech.
It then triggers the brain to pursue suicide!

Can you imagine everyone around you suddenly dies by commiting suicide?
Can you imagine the odour of dead bodies lying around everywhere?
This really makes me sick to the stomach.

But this story makes me think...
This is how humans have been treating nature and the environment all these while.
We should all put some effort to save our nature and environment.
What if one day nature comes back for its' revenge? *evil*

Mature VS Realistic

I have always been mixed-up how people describe a person as mature or realistic.
Curious about the different meanings of Mature and Realistic, I looked up Merriam-Webster Dictionary online and found these:

Mature
based on slow careful consideration <mature judgment>

Realistic (Realism)
concern for fact or reality and rejection of the impractical and visionary

In my own words I guess realistic means you're able to differentiate between reality/fact and fantasy/dream.
Words that I think would associate with it is solid, tangible, high-possibility, safe.
(this is disasterous for children book-writers =p)

Mature is based on your consideration or judgements.
Whether how well one is able to think critically before deciding.
(does this mean fast decision-making means immature? =p as long as it careful enough?)

One can be realistic and yet immature.
But can one be mature and yet un-realistic?
Realistic is part of the sub-set for mature-thinking?
hmm... (am I learning anything here? haha... maybe I need to get an English tutor =p)
Interesting, isn't it?
Think about it.

Just another wild pondering of my brain.

Look at the stuff I have for you to ponder:

The older we get, the more mature and realistic we'll become.
TRUE or FALSE?

How do you describe an older person?
a. Mature? or just simply Realistic?
b. Their constant contact with reality makes them more
mature? or more realistic?

Teambuilding Day

Last Friday was a long crazy day.
It started off with teambuilding with all my department people at Penang National Park@ Teluk Bahang.

First, we had a small ice-breaker session with the event coordinator.
It was pouring heavily outside so we spent quite some time indoors.
The initial plan was to hike to Pantai Kerachut(Turtle Beach) and have treasure hunt along the way but, sadly, it rained dogs and cats that day. (Wanna know more? Click here for more info)
However we're allowed to hike anyways but only halfway.

Landed ourselves at Sungai Tukun and came back... took us about 2 hours.
The hiking tracks are all wet and muddy... can you imagine how it looks like after the rain?
And there are swarms of mosquitoe flying around and feeding on all the hikers.
I think I had the worst mosquitoe bites... maybe my blood is delicious enough... *lol*
Compared to Penang Hill, this hill is not as steep.
It was tiring but still feeling much better than hiking up Penang Hill... hehe.
After the hike, we had DURIANS... yummy!
And guess what? It came all the way from Balik Pulau.
The taste of it is just splendid.


Indoors - taking lunch? Raining heavily outside mar...


Welcome to Hutan Lipur - Sungai Tukun (look at our sweaty faces ^^)


Saw Mr. Biawak & Mr. Crab at Sungai Tukun


Durians!!! In hokkien, we call it "lui-lian"


After all our tiring hike, still get price mar... not bad liao la =p


Wee..... Group photo!


Before - clean shoes, lesser shoes
After - dirty shoes, more shoes (I guessed the teambuilding works after all =p)

It was a great teambuilding and I admit that I had a lot of fun! (apart from being bitten by mosquitoes, that is)
After teambuilding, we proceeded to look around and found really great sceneries.
It was misty all around after the heavy rain.
Everyone was definately in the mood for a good "photography session".
Haha... cannot imagine how much fun it was.


Oooh.... look at the mist behind us


Appreciating mother nature's wonderful work


Group pic! Group pic! Eh... mana Yee Lin? Missing In Action already (MIA)

Sigh... too many good pics but I lazy to edit d... haha.
The day did not just end there... the day is still young.
Next, We went for dinner at Faces Steak Garden@ Tanjong Tokong.
If you're looking for good western food with reasonable price along with good ambience in Penang, this is one of the place you should be going.
It was still early then so there was no song performance.
(hehe... missed the time when I performed a song on that stage for my friend, Jenny)

(no pics for dinner@ Faces? sigh...)

So, after that I would have called it a day, wrapped it up and go home for a good rest.
BUT the "day is still young" (or is it?)

Still can go for karaoke? Serious?

But we went anyway... haha.
All of us must have gone crazy =p


Yup... and the fun continues...


Nope... he's not drunk, but he's a damn funny guy... hahaha =p

Wanna know who is the guy in the above photo?
Ask me... he's still single.
*wahahaha*

Can't imagine going for Karaoke session after taking all those heaty durians after the hike.
The next day I woke up, I sounded like a frog.
So the karaoke session went on until almost 4am.
It was crazy but I had a blast.

After karaoke, we still went looking for a place to yumchar.
Ended up reaching home at about 5am.

giler....
Luckily not working on Saturday =p

Perodua Nautica

Perodua has launched their new 4WD SUV this week - Perodua Nautica.
Looks to me like an upgraded version of Perodua Kembara.
Funny thing was the conversation between my dad and sis about the car:

Dad: Perodua launched their 4WD SUV today. Perodua Nautica.
Sis : Wow... that's great(?) Perodua launched a "naughty car"
Dad: Ya.
Sis : What is the name of the car?
Dad: It's Nautica.
Sis : Err... Naughty car? *giggles*

Sudoku-Ace @ Facebook

I've been playing Sudoku-Ace at Facebook recently and finding it real addictive.
Definately would recommend this game to all SUDOKU-LOVERS out there =D

What's most interesting is there are 3 different set of tiles to choose from.
There is the traditional number, Chinese characters and SUSHI!!!
Personally I would think that the SUSHI tiles are much more interesting compared to the others.
(Deliciously interesting perhaps? *lol*)
However the background music for this game is kinda annoying after listening to it for some time. It makes my head spin so it would be smart to mute it.


Sudoku-Ace tiles


Numbers VS. Sushi?

This game is a great way to kill time, especially if you're bored at office *winkz*
Playing this game certainly eats up lots of patients; so for you guys out there who aren't patient enough, this is one of the training grounds for you.
BTW, a good way to exercise your brain as well.

Sudoku-ing is the only thing I do in Facebook nowadays.
I have 1448 requests currently pending and it always hang when I try to open the request page.
Oh well, anyhow I still have my Sudoku *muakz*
