Limpeh Shee Penang-lang!

You know, Andrew do not travel much but somehow it seems here that he is. Truth is the furthest he'd travel normally wouldn't go anywhere beyond the nearest mamak stall. Trust me. His existence is far too important here to be traveling elsewhere.


to the left would be Andrew Tay, Juno to the right.

However, in recent months he has been traveling alot for work, where is latest destination would be the Penang island. By driving a car less than 3 days-old. Neat eh?

Andrew is supposed to post this last week when he is still in Penang. But it seems that he couldn't find a chance to have his laptop with him when he's on wifi hotspots.




Penang is a nice place, Andrew and his colleagues drove around the entire day with a map in-hand - because they have never driven in the city before. The entire place felt kinda like Malacca, only much bigger (and much more things to eat). For the food, we were told of one important teaching: thou shall eat only at street stalls. thou shall not eat at fancy restaurants.

Andrew did not get a chance to be photographing everything he sees partly because he is almost driving all the time, and because his camera his not functioning *sigh* He however manages to capture several images using his mobile, although he is not very proud of them.






Most of the images here are taken at the kek lok si temple. Andrew did not manage to get to much places due to time constrains. He would very much like to visit the toy museum. Lots of Starwars toys in there, and Ultraman too.

Andrew is kinda glad that he's back. All the while in Penang all he speak is Mandarin and Hokkien; and after so many years of speaking Cantonese and English - its kinda wierd speaking the former.

thats all for now.

ps. Penang chicks are cute, even if you rule the lala/ah lians out.

Calling from the Dark Side

Andrew was in 1utama today for lunch and on his way back felt a deep calling drawing him into a toy store where he saw:




Darth Vader. But as you can see it's a bit different from your standard Darth Vader.



It transforms into the Death Star. It TRANSFORMS!



This is too good not to be overwhelmed. It is going to top his wish-list for Christmas. Anyone willing to get one for him? He is willing to trade his butt for one even!

... maybe not. Still, it's a Man's Dream!

Yes Andrew is a GEEK. *breathes darth vader-style*

The Malaccan Trip II

Like Andrew previously said. He was in Malacca for a cocktail photo shoot. He was not the photographer thou, photographer would be BoonBoonBoon (or Boon in short, shy guy actually). Andrew is merely the editor a.k.a. the-one-who-runs-around-doing-nothing and MONITORING the work progress.


As you can see, it's a very cocktail-ic night that day.

Did Andrew mention what's the photo shoot for? The images taken are to be used on an upcoming magazine. The premier issue is supposed feature cocktail recipes and a brief introduction into hosting a cocktail party.

contrary to popular beliefs, the orange colored
drink is actually plain simple orange juice meant
to be drank with the green drink.



Anyway, while Malacca is a nice place and all; with all the nice buildings and great people. There is one other thing only few will ever experience, and Andrew experienced it slightly.

One of Boon's assistant had this loud, trembling snore that is sure to scare the shit out of anyone if taken by surprise. It's so powerful that it sounded like the entire Roman Empire had them surrounded. Really! Boon also said that he felt "uncomfortable" in the hotel room over certain things. Actually all of them did, they suspect it might be... you know.

You know, Andrew is getting kinda tired writing as a third person. But he's enjoying it. And next time he might write something about the cocktail house that provided the cocktails, if he feels like it. Otherwise he might just give you the bloody address and you go find them yourself.

Till next time.
