A visit to Ban San...

What/Where is Ban San? Ban San is a place that u could get vegetables, seafood, poultry... basically it's anything that you need for your day to day life. So where is this Ban San? hehehe.... "Ban San" in Penang means wet market. Errrrrr.... guess what? for my past years i think i could use 10 fingers to calculate the visit to the wet market... a place that is forbidden for TZ.... TZ don't like the place as the place is so dirty and full of smelly water on the ground... people just squeezed through without even saying excuse me... :(

My friends has teased me on Saturday morning as i texted him saying that i was on my way to Ban San (Wet Market in Penang)... He just teased me that i would just stand outside the Ban San or just waited for my uncle to finish his marketing in the car.... yaya! you were WRONG! i stepped into the Ban San... *Hiak Hiak*

Our first stop! The sundry shop .... Please don't underestimate the small little sundry shop... which carries lots of different products... Do you see any Canned food that you would buy from Tesco, Carrefour in this sundry shop... :p

Fish! fish! fish! where are you? This fish monger's place was my uncle target... He bought all his fish supply from this stall... 

This is a close shot of a type of fish (please don't ask me the name as i don't know the name... blek!)

Three fishes whom greet you in the morning

Fruits ... how could we left out the fruits store ... colorful and lots of variety of fruits ... did you see any fruits imported from China or Thailand ??? 

Pears and Lychee! :)

As i mentioned earlier, i'm not a kind of person that like to visit Ban San... but this Ban San has a things that attracted me... so what was the item in Ban San has attracted me ... do any one of you know ? hehehehe... it's food... of coz what else you talked about in Penang ... Yup! Food... The famous Penang Prawn Mee so called "Hokkien Mee"... Yum Yum...

Sunset @ North South Highway...

I was travelling from KL to Penang yesterday evening... Dad was driving and i was listening to my iPod and taking a nap in the beginning of the journey... i woke up when we passed Tapah... it's was about 6 something and the sun has turned its color to more orange... :)

After a piss stop @ Simpang Pulai rest area, i felt like taking picture with my D70 18-200mm lens... so i took out the camera and started the snapping away... *Snap Snap Snap*...

I was so satisfied with the outcome of my sunset shots along the north south highway... Guess what? All the shots were taken in the car and all of them were taken while the car was moving :p

Let go and move on ...

Different people from different part of the world/background has different path of life ... Sometime we could see the end of the path from far but sometime we just need to walk and walk and walk to see the future... 

My path of my life for the past one year has not been a smooth one ... there were so many hole along the path that i could just drop inside and need a huge effort and energy to climb up and walk again... i was being so careful since i was brought up that way... but luckily i evolved myself especially on risk appetite from time to time... today my risk appetite has increased tremendously... So now i have built more confident to walk through those rough road, broken plank... hilly path etc... and take whatever challenge of my life ... 

I have been camped myself up @ a junction waiting for something to happen... what am i waiting...? what kind of deal am i hoping to get? why the deal is not going to happen? and now my life is so standstill ... i am still @ the junction searching a better path that i should go ahead to walk/run... should i still wait or just choose a path and move on ... i seriously need to consider this and let go the path that i have chosen since last year that is not working... and move on to a new path which able for me to continue walking :p Wish me luck eh! 

How's your path?

Dancing Party @ April 25th 2009 - Saturday...

I totally forgot my post on the last week Saturday dancing @ Supper Club... my long waiting line dance funk party... hehehe.... are you ready to see me dancing?

The party started on 6pm... we were a bit late as we stayed till late 5pm @ Delicious on Bong & Josh birthday luncheon... anyway we made it for the dinner. 

Dinner was okay but not that great... I ate only a little as the dance started @ 7:30pm... i could not eat too much as we would need to dance later ... 

When the clock struck 7:30pm... the first dance song started and the team got their space downstair...  

Hehehe... along the dancing... there's lots of camwhore ... I took a couple of the shots of the supper club environment ... and my friends took my pictures ... What an enjoyable night to remember.
