This is the first post of the year and of course and most important thing of all, Happy New Year 2007 to all readers. Well, we haven’t come up with a New Year resolutions list yet … hehehe.

But… we think most importantly must be to continuosly post more good contents to the blog. Next, errmmm, since this year is Visit Malaysia Year 2007, we think we also want to make this a Visit TravelPenang.Com Year 2007 and of course many more years to come. Hahahaha. Next … and the list go on and on and on …

So, keep yourself subscribed to our site. Many more new posts to come. Cheers.

Penang, Holiday in Penang, Happy New Year, Visit Malaysia 2007

The police will be setting up roadblocks at the Penang Bridge as well as the ferry terminal at Weld Quay in order to prevent the Mat Rempits (illegal motorcyclist racers) from entering the island and create havoc on New Year Eve.

A crowd of about 10,000 people is expected to converge to Gurney Drive. Various uniformed personnel and policemen will be stationed at strategic locations to ensure all will be well for the countdown to the New Year celebration.

Roads leading to Gurney Drive will be closed from 8pm onwards on Sunday. The Gurney Drive roundabout will be closed from 4pm onwards.

Massive crowds are expected to converge to Gurney Drive for the Penang Golden 2007 New Year Countdown. Thousands of balloons will be released into the night sky at the stroke of midnight. The public can donate RM3 per balloon at specially set up kiosks which the money collected will be donated to the flood victims in the country.

Various celebration activities will start from 5pm onward. So, get ready, have fun, say Goodbye to 2006 and a BIG HELLO to 2007.

Well, I’m not sure if anyone realise this or probably everyone is just ignoring it since there isn’t much that can be done. Anyway, lately or should I say since ages ago, the ga’ment has been decorating our roads here with traffic lights !!!

Can you imagine driving on the road and braking not once in a while but pretty regularly. It is like on an average road, you’ll definitely pass if not stop at a traffic once like every 200 metres when you drive. And you’ll notice that the ga’ment is still actively decorating our roads with traffic lights nowadays. One good example is the Yeap Chor Ee Road. If you were to travel from one end (at Bukit Jambul) to the other (at Green Lane), you’ll need to pass by like 5 traffic lights. And it’s already like a norm to everyone that this road will come to a crawl during peak hours.

I’m just wondering that are we running out of plants that we can use for our roads? Frankly, we are getting lesser and lesser of greenery from day to day, you know? So Doc (you know who I’m referring to), do something about it ! We don’t pay you to enjoy yourself. Duh !!!

This is the day
the Earth gave us the Richter 7.1 magnitude quake
This is the day
the internet connections break

This is the day
our highspeed broadband has a downgrade
This is the day
our connection speed is as flat as a pancake

This is the day
a lot will curse sea & moon, throw shoes and clog
This is the day
it feels like forever just to update this blog

This is the day
a lot will ask low and high
This is the day
we wonder when our connections will again fly

Well, by the time you have read till this point, my snailband connection has finally loaded my yahoo.com request … Ouch!! .. BIG THANK YOU to you Mother Nature !!!

I read about this post from my friend’s blog - TGI Fried Date.

 

Have been hearing a lot from friends who dine in, said that lousy service and slowwwww…

Could have expect that since it is our “standard” for new opening. Staff not well trained and don’t have a proper queue management system. If you want to get your things served faster, just expedite and put a lot of pressure. Their staff will screw it up by themselves.

So, until today, I did not go to TGI Friday.

 

We feel that it is easier to maintain this website as a blog. Using Wordpress we can update his website easily without having to use any HTML editor at all.

Stay tune … more updates will come.
