Land Below the Wind - SABAH Posted by chiechek , Tuesday, 31 July 2012 at 23:53, in Labels: hospital, Hospital Kota Belud, Kota Belud, Kota Kinabalu, Life ain't that easy, Penang, Pharmacist, Sabah

"As promised" few months ago, I will update my life in Sabah to this blog. But seemed like I have been so lost in Sabah till I dragged the blog post for around 8 months. Well, IT HAVE BEEN 8 MONTHS already since I get myself stuck in Sabah. I didn't update the blog not because I couldn't connect to the internet in Sabah. The most likely reason is I am so reluctact to admit that I am gonna to stay in Sabah for sometime.

Ok, that's nothing wrong with Sabah and sorry if I did make you all think Sabah is not a really good state in Malaysia. *grin*

So, let's start my journey to the "Land Below the Wind" ~ Sabah. :)

Here I say Good Bye to Penang and there I say Hi to Sabah :(

With mixed feeling, I leave my beloved hometown, Penang and I come to Sabah, a msytery land for me. I still can remember how I really stress when first I reached Kota Kinabalu Airport (BKI). And it was 1st of December 2011. Once I reached the airport, then I called a taxi to go to the Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri Sabah (JKNS) to report duty. Well, it is determining step for my life in Sabah. As everyone, Sabah is big state and it consists of many rural areas which actually do not favour for me to live there. So, I don't know my own destiny till I report my duty to JKNS. Luckily I got a placement that consider 'not-so-bad'. I got KOTA BELUD! which mean that I gonna stay in KOTA BELUD for this coming years (at least 1 year)

Frustrated? not really, I felt much more of lost. I got no idea on how actually Kota Belud look like and I was worrying where to rent a house. Well, skip those troublesome stuff, I gonna start to know more about Kota Kinabalu. Luckily I got a good friend, Lipton who already worked in Kota Kinabalu as enforcement officer. So I stayed in his house for few days before I go report duty to the Hospital Kota Belud.

Here is the view from Lipton's house. Quite nice view, right? Sabah is quite a peace place to stay :)

Ok, I will stop here and I will continue next time for my adventure in Sabah. :)

Christmas's Eve Celebration / Fight with Police 2009 @ Gurney Drive~~~!?!?!? Posted by chiechek , Saturday, 26 December 2009 at 03:33, in Labels: Celebration, Festival, fight, gurney, Penang, police

Hey, everyone~~~!!! How's your all christmas's eve? Either celebrate with family or friends, this day should be a very happening day for you all right? So, just don't let the fast beating heart slowdown. Keep the joy and laugh till the new year~~~~ New Year 2010~~~!!! If you still don't have any plan on how to celebrate the new year, then you must to plan right now because it is right near in our corner. Get prepare and rock for the new year~~~our unique and gonna to be very very enjoy year 2010.

So, how was I celebrating my christmas's eve? I didn't have any plan and I guess there will be many people right outside somewhere to gather and celebrate the joyful day. I can say that I quite hate traffic jam or can't find a parking lots. That's why I didn't plan to celebrate the christmas eve at any hot spot. I just have a normal dinner with my family at paya terubong there. (I would recommend this place later if I got the pic. There has a nice ikan bakar and I fall in love to its sambal. XD) After the dinner, I stayed at home and did something that you and me did everyday which is watching tv drama.

My sister, kc was suggested to go to gurney drive to see how was the celebration there going on. I was interested but still how I was worrying about parking and traffic problem. Another sister of mine, kl assured me that she know a parking area which is most probably vacant all the time. (don't ask me where is it...I won't tell coz if tell you all then next time I can't get the parking slot. XD) When we reached gurney drive, we found that quite a lot of polices and we did not see any happening situation at there. What was in my first thought is may be youngster don't like to celebrate without the snow spray as it was banned since last 2 or 3 years ago. Since, we was there, we took a walk around the gurney drive there. When we on our way back, we saw quite many cars kena tickets (you know what I mean. This can increase our state finance income XD... )

So everyone got any idea about what happened right there? It not suppose be very crowded and everyone was happy and shout right there? Why this year christmas eve celebration will be that so silent? Curious? Let us see the video clips~~~!!!

Yup, that's right. Those youngsters were hitting police as you saw in the clip. So, what is on your mind right now? Gangster? Is that penang youngster? I think penang youngsters have been famous since few years when they threw the spray bottle to the polices and police's car. I was there that time and I thought they will never to offence the law against since the punishment they received previously. Right inside the gurney plaze there was a notice to remind the youngster about the previous unhappy incident occur. I guess not really many people took note about it or didn't even care about it. As a penang people, I did hate those offence to the law which make us lost the chance to play and celebrate the festival with the snow spray. The spray may not the essential tools to celebrate but it did really increase the mood and feel for us about the christmas. So, they not even learn from the previous punishment and even become worst and worst. The most important issue is they don't know how to appreciate the thing they had on their hand. They just want to do whatever thing to show their existence in the world. This would one of the pyschological problem. The social structure has been changed and the education system should be also improve to follow the path of development of the world. Current parent just give whatever their child want in material aspect but they forget to take care the child with their heart. I think most important thing is the parent need to show their care to their child and spend more time with them.

As conclusion, this issue is not only youngster problem, but I think it is most probably a social problem which we should look seriously into it. We don't want the future generation become the gangster as showed in this video clip.

Say No to Vandalism and Gangster~~~!!! Peace 2010 :)

At last, my family and me did went to McD for supper and count down at there. Hopefully, the new year's eve celebration will not like the christmas's eve celebration. Wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year~~~!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year~~~!!!

So, now I just want to update the my cousins gathering at starbucks. Who attended the gathering??? They were chieyang, ker lin, ker chia, szer lik, zheng lik and me. Chee Chie was promised to come but he failed to attend the gathering which made all of us disappointed. While his sister, Ker Ee needed study for the other day exam. Let's we see those attender's pictures and see how they rock the night~~~!!!

So when you all have a drink in starbucks, what you all can do??? chatting??? surfing??? reading??? listening music??? or fb"ing" (you all should know what I mean right???) Neither of these activities we did in starbucks. We played poker :) We all like to play "chor dai dee" and we did play when we meet each other. Of course, some people like kerchia and szerlik did not like to play, they start to chit chat about some topic and discussion what to do on the upcoming day. We also discuss someone "scandals" like zhenglik. :p ask me if you are interested on it. XD

Poker game, it's aint boring as always you thought. We did shout, quarrel, cheat and we did whatever we can do to win. Here is some 'intersting' pictures about the poker game.

Poker Player start from left side: chieyang, zhenglik and ker lin

As I said before, we try to cheat. But this time I was caught~~~!!! Who know to play should know why I was caught...

Everyone is focus to win the game. None of us will let the other win the game. See how are they focus on game. XD

kerlin, The Gamble Queen

chieyang, The Future Gamble King

So there was a game, chieyang win the game without any notification and zhenglik was extremely shock for it. See what he has done~~~!!! He hit the table and make the drink spill to everyone. >.<'''

Take a closer view~~~!!!

He felt shame about what he has done~~~!!!

I just passed him some tissue to rub off his tear.

The winner and loser~~~!!! (I like this photo XD)

Before we want to leave, we gave a call to cheechie who promised to come the gathering but without showed any appearance in front of us. And we received a rumour that he want out yum cha with his friends. Of course, I got his excuse is he went there around 12 am and can't find us. >.<''' Brother~~~!!! so late le~~~!!! We all are good boy and we sure went back home le la. hahaha.

At the end, zhenglik was sent we all back to our home. This gathering was nice and we did enjoy to chat and play with other. Of course, we are going to have more gathering in the upcoming day and have fun with each other.

Birthday Dinner @ Hard Rock Cafe??? The Ship??? Posted by chiechek , Monday, 21 December 2009 at 13:00, in Labels: batu ferringi, birthday, Celebration, family, hard rock, Penang, the ship

This time WE ARE GOING TO HARD ROCK HOTEL~~~!!!

Here we are~~~!!!

After the Suprise Birthday Celebration, I never thought that I will gonna to have another celebration again. And well, seemed like my family has already planned to give me a continuously suprise till the end of the 15th of Dec. They have a discussion about where to have the dinner for my birthday. So, we did know that the recently opened Hard Rock Hotel got a nice cafe right there and thanks the information from my cousin Zheng Lik and Szer Lik, we notice that the Hard Rock Cafe do serve a nice environment and western food right there.

Ker Lin has suggested to dine in the Hard Rock Cafe, while chieyang was second it (who is very very very like to eat western food and we so called him as "tam chia"XD). So, we decided to move to Hard Rock Hotel @ Batu Ferringgi. Everyone did feel great and excited about dining in Hard Rock Cafe. After around 30 mins of car ride, we reached the Hard Rock Cafe and it really look great from its outer appearance. I can't wait to take the photo on it. Unfortunately, Ker Lin was took the camera and not allow me to touch so called her camera.

Family Photo without Ker Lin and me (coz we were fighting for the camera XD)

Right outside of the Hard Rock Cafe. Ker Chia and Michael Jackson :)

Inside the Hard Rock Cafe??? Nope...It is inside The Ship~~~!!! What???

So I think everyone must be confused for it already. Since just now I said that we planed to dine in the Hard Rock Cafe but we did end up in the The Ship. What have happened??? When we reached the Hard Rock Cafe, we only found out that the Hard Rock Cafe has been booked for the ING private function so we can't ever enter the cafe right before the end of ING private event. Disappointment, disappointment and disappointment. I would say this is a great disappointment for all of us. So, if you ask me what have I feel other than disappointment on that moment, I would tell you that is Hungry~~~!!! Disappointment has been followed by Hungry as well. We can't ever keep disappointment on that spot. My birthday dinner still have to carry on. So we discussed again and decided to dine in The Ship.

So no choice, we still have to eat and everyone start to read on menu.

Well, I seemed like not affected by the bad new coz today is MY DAY~~~!!!

Since It has become the fact, we will not ever waste the wonderful night and we start to read the menu. Just few minutes, we have decided what to order for our dinner. This time Ker Chia incharge to order for us because I am the man of the day. (actually juz becoz she is in the strategy place to deal with the waiter) My father ordered mushroom soup and Fish and Chips while my mother just ordered Chinatown Sharksfin with Crabmeat. chieyang as usual he order the Black Pepper Chicken Chop, Ker Chia as well with her favourite spaghetti, "Spaghetti Chicken Napolitana". Ker Lin then ordered Sizzling Chicken Fillet. Of course as the birthday boy I must order something special so I decided to order the Christmas Special Meal which included mouthwash cocktail + appetizer (Corn Soup with Crabmeat) + course meal (Phoenix Neptune Combo) + desert (Napolita Cake) + christmas gift. (I just ordered this meal coz I wan the gift. hahaha...) Just kidding la, I ordered this set of meal because it look nice and included chieyang favourite => desert. See actually I am a good brother. Don't you think so??? hahaha...

I has been attracted by 'Phoenix' word...hahaha

So here our salad or know as the mouthwash cocktail.

So just before the main meal served, Ker Chia and chieyang enjoyed with their drink.

 Ker Lin and Ker Chia with their tasty soup.

Within 10 minutes, all our foods have been served and everyone start to enjoy their own food. Of course we did exchange among ourselve to share what we ordered.

chieyang's Black Pepper Chicken Chop

My father's Fish and Chips

So right after we done with our meal, the waiter has been served me with my desert and the christmas gift. Let's we see what is my christmas gift and what gonna happen to my desert and christmas gift.

                                                    

 Here Come My Desert~~~!!!

I don't know what they have make for the deal??? But they seemed ike to have some evil plans...

Now only I realised that they even wan steal my Christmas Gift... T.T

Of Course, it will end up with me... and it belongs to me.. :p

Here some random pictures of the night which was taken by Ker Lin. She did waste a lot of nice pictures of the night just because setting the wrong mode of the camera. sobzz~~~!!! However, she did manage took some pictures without notice of all of us.

Ker Chia what facial expression is that???

Omg~~~!!! someone took my pic while I was drinking the soup~~~!!

chieyang was drinking

Ops~~~!! I caught you~~~!!

Although the dinner in The Ship was not in our initiate plan, but we did end up with a happy and joyful night. Of course, I want to thank to my family to give me a memorable birthday. And I also wish to get another change to dine in the Hard Rock Cafe where I can date with MJ. (hahaha...dating with MJ...woohoo~~~!!!)

Juz wait for me MJ... I will date with you someday...

After the wondeful dinner, we went back and someone was complaint that they are not full with the meal. So I fetch them to Kapitan for supper. (and I found out that Kapitan maggie goreng was not as nice as BRJ...which cause I miss BRJ maggie goreng...hahaha)
