Ever heard of Jonker Street(Jalan Hang Jebat) ? If you haven't heard of it then its the right time because im going to talk about Jonker Street . I've only been there once with my family and relatives . Even though i've only been there once but it left an amazing impression on me . So what did Jonker street amaze me ?
If you asked any local to introduce you to a interesting place in Melaka, they will not miss out Jonker Street. Jonker street is a historical place which houses old dwellings and houses which brings you back to the 17th century , it can also be called as antique street. Most of the antiques from Jonker Street are artifacts from different periods of ruling in the past such as Portuguese , Dutch and British . If you're a person who loves antiques , this is one of the famous places you can visit. You can easily hunt antique at a very reasonable pricing and they're still negotiable.Antiques such as chinese porcelain, brassware, cast iron beds, lamps, coins and money notes, as well as the priceless Buddha statues are also sold there.
The Melaka State Government have made an exception for every Fridays evening , Saturdays evening and also Sundays evening,6pm-12pm, traders are given the chance to open stalls and display products along the pedestrian street of Jonker Walk. One of the reason why tourist often come at this hour are because of antique copper coins, local and ethnic traditional food, unique arts and crafts, souvenirs, ornamental jewelry,and wooden clogs. If you're looking for wooden clogs crafting i would recommend a shop name Purple Flower Handicraft , they sell nice wooden clogs.
Jonker Street is not only famous its antiques buildings and cultural attractions . Jonker Street is also well known for its delicious food and local delicacies too . There are numerous number of shops and cafes which sells wide variety of tasty food and drinks . Geographer Cafe is located in the middle of the street which is well known among tourist and locals for its happening live bands on Friday night and weekend nights. If you're looking for Baba Nyonya delicacies then head over a shop diagonally opposite Geographer Cafe which is called Jonker Dessert . The delicacies there are nothing like what i've tasted before , a thumbs up i will give to this shop .

Streets of malaysia (1)
When i was given this topic i seriously have no clue on what to write on. But after i've been to petaling street , i think that this is one place that shouldn't be missed by any tourist or even locals .Petaling street also known as china town is located at the capital of Malaysia , Kuala Lumpur.
Why do i say that this is a street/place which shouldn't be missed by anyone ? This place can be also known as a shopper's heaven. Unlike those glamorous shopping complexes , This is a well known shopping place which offers cheap things. Petaling street is a place which turns lively at night due to hundred over stall being set up to sell stuff at dirt cheap prices . It also can be said to be one of the most happening streets during the night in Malaysia.
Petaling street is known as a shopper's heaven because it's a street full of shops and stalls selling goods at an extremely low price . Ever thought of having branded equipments and not hurting your tight budget? Petaling street is here for you ! Literally the whole streets are selling pirated branded clothes, handbags ,watches and many more . You can have Louis Vuitton handbangs or Rolex watches at the price of only below RM 50 ! It's a place for shoppers with tight budget , you can have your "branded" stuff over here .
Not only that , Petaling street is also a food and drink galore. One of the good thing for tourist is which they can have the opportunity to try out ALMOST ALL our local cuisine such as Asam Laksa, Curry Mee, Hokkien Mee, Roti Canai , Pisang Goreng etc.There are chinese and seafood restaurants at every corner and also stalls which sells all kinds of food and snacks . The aroma of those Malaysia delicacy is filled in the air which makes it so hard to resist .
Besides, one of the best advantages you can get from Petaling street are being able to bargain. Goods sold at such a cheap price can be negotiate to even cheaper . The things at petaling streets are normally 15% to 30% higher than the factory's actual price . If your bargaining skills are well honored , you can cut down their profit by 10% or 20% . Try to keep bargaining at a certain price you are comfortable with , since price are set higher to earn profit from foreigners.

What are the difference between a human and an animal ? Humans are also animals , it's just that they are classified as the smartest animal on earth.Yes , human may be smart but they also use their intellect in a wrong way . On the other hand, animals aren't as smart as humans but they're still a living thing , animals got heart beats inside them . Animals have feelings, they also feel the pain as us when being tortured and they have a mind of their own too .So why are humans so cruel and heartless to an extend of abusing them ?! I JUST DONT GET IT.
Animal such as dog , cats and parrots are the common pets raised by humans . Dogs are known as 'Man's best friend' , dogs are very loyal to those who raised them . Not only that , dogs will also accompany their owner when they're down . In my opinion, dogs are counted as a member of a family . Do you know how happy are they when the owner reaches home after a whole day's work ? They will just go to you and greet in you in joy , how awesome is that !
Let me tell you a story about what i encountered when i was young . This goes back to long ago when i'm still living at Paramount . A neighbor of mine , just few houses away if im not mistaken . Back then they were using those rope lines to hang clothes in the sun for drying .What he did was tied his cat to something and left him on those rope lines for few hours everyday . I seriously dont know if he was trying to train him to do some tricks or what but its too cruel for a cat .
How is it possible for a cat to sit on ropes for hours ? What is worse is that when the cat jump down to the ground for break , the length of the string was just barely enough !! The cat wasnt able to move but just to sit under the pole which the cat was tied to , it's only option was to climb back up or stay in that position . BRAINS WEH BRAINS!!I seriously dont understand where he put his brains or might not be even using it , i mean how can you do such thing to a cat . Lucky after 2 days some 'HERO' called the police and took him for questioning i was really glad that at least someone is doing something to help this innocent cat .
I know i know...i just watch and i dint do anything . Because at the time i was really young and dint understand much about animal abusing or should i say wasnt aware and my parents are out to work till night so i dint have anyone to ask . But it's a different case now , if i ever see a person doing such things to an animal ....i will definitely call the police and at least give him a punch on the face .
Now im glad to know that so many other people or organizations are helping those homeless animals , sponsor things to help them also giving medical support . Organizations such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal (PETA) or Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) helped so much animals .
To people out there, please be aware about these things happening around you, dont just ignore them as if nothing happened THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER .Give a helping hand for those innocent animals which are harmed by scumbags, reporting them to the police will be the easiest but most effective way . And also to those shameless and heartless people , FUCK YOU ! ( sorry for my vulgarity , just couldn't help it )

The topic given this week is very sad to write on . It's called animal rights , when you heard about the word 'Animal rights' what is the first thing that comes into mind ? Torture , abusing , used as test subjects and some might be even killed for parts of their body . These kinds of stuff is too common so much so that when you heard about animal rights ,the mind set of these idiotic act comes to you right away. :(
One of the most tragic way is POACHING also known as illegal hunting You know there is a certain season, hour , restricted land for huntings? Yet people still ignore and hunt them for money?Even if it is for a living... you still cant be such an ass , there are so many ways to earn money , its just that you're lazy to look for them .Some of these animals are almost extinct such as snow leopard , tapir, bold eagle , komodo dragon , great auk and many more that people already forgot their existence . There is a reason why people want to protect animals like this and hunters still ignoring it and killing them .
Not only that, but some hunters also use the wrong bait or weapons to catch them which will cause those animal to be hurt and suffering in pain. Weapons such as spotlight stunner , stun darts , blowpipe , poison arrow, sharpened blades.These hunters are pretty much heartless and cruel .They go to the shore just to pick large seashells alive and killing the animal inside , after that selling in those tourist areas for money
.Also , i pity those animal decorations , it's so sad to see animal head on the wall of some people's house and also the furs that rich people buy and wear them just for showing off . Stop buying stuff like that lar please , you guys are the main source of these act . Some even use them to make tradisional medicine .Do you know that hunters take flesh and parts of endangered species such as seahorse , rhinoceros horn , tiger bones , tiger claw , tiger eyes and also tiger penis( alot belive that it can improve virility) to make medicine ?SAD RIGHT?!?!
I remember when i was young , i always wanted a pet dog . My mom tested me by letting me have pets like gold fish and tortoise . Even though i took care of them well as in feeding them , washing the pond , cleaning the tank for the fish but my mom still disapprove and said i was not ready for a dog . I was very naive and dint understand what she really meant and got angry , stupid me . All i did last time was taking care of them on the surface but not wholeheartedly . Those feeding , washing , cleaning things have to be reminded by my parents and not wanting to do it myself but i understand now , thanks mom for not letting me have a dog last time ...it'll just hurt another living thing . BUT I STILL WANT ONE SO BADLY NOW :(

Ever wondered where can you and your friends hang out to chat freely and catch up while feeling comfortable ? It's a place which you can only find in Malaysia and can't be found abroad .Are you starting to get the picture ? YES it is.....
Alot of you asked me why i always go mamak at night and not get bored of it , well here's the answer . Mamak stalls usually comes alive at night because it's suitable for social gathering . Youngsters nowadays being the night owl that they are ,enjoy hanging out with friends to talk about recent happenings and also gossiping . Why is mamak usually the only place suitable to catch up with friends ?To us youngsters, going to mamak rather than normal restaurants will suit us more as we have a tight budget to follow :( . Besides, mamak is also a relaxing place because the mood in the mamak is lively so you will feel nice chatting there .
Also, Mamak stalls represents our Malaysian culture , one that demonstrates fact the cities like Kuala Lumpur , never really goes to sleep. Since mamak offers the facilities of a large screen television or large projector screen for viewing pleasure ,watching sports event in the mamak is definitely more enjoyable than compared to watching at home . The atmosphere there is totally different due to the amount of crowd present and the cheering of the crowd when something happens in the game such as a goal for a football game.

Some of you may think 'What's so special about mamak?' You know larr mamak is the only place which u can learn how to toss a roti canai :P . It's a place where friends , family and all races gather together to chit-chat. Why is mamak being favored by everyone ? Mamak is a place which opens 24hours a day and 7 days a week ! What will you do if you're feel hungry in the middle of the night and dont feel like cooking ?You can head over to the nearest mamak to chill and eat at the same time . Not only that , but mamak offers low price and tasty food .Left with rm2? hungry ? frustrated? lost? hopeless? tired? jobless? fear not ! the mamak is there for you !

Today i'm gonna write about...
Penang! <3 I bet everyone also heard of penang , right ? Penang is a small island but definitely with a big reputation . It is filled with interesting and eclectic mix cultural ,historical and natural attractions , not forgetting the food there is awesome too !
In penang, they offer plenty of sightseeing opportunities such as Penang Hill - it is 821 meters above sea level which makes this place very cozy . There is a funicular train that take you to the top of Penang Hill in 30 mints , there's a restaurant , a Hindu temple, a church, a mosque and a snake show where you can take photos with a tame python for...forgotten the price :P

Ok larrr , enough of famous places . Now let's talk about what most of the people look forward to... the bitches beaches . One of the famous beach is placed at Tanjung Bungah literally means 'Flower Cape' .Tanjung Bungah is a seaside suburb located between two major tourist destination which is Gurney and Batu Ferringhi .Due to its ideal location , it makes Tanjung Bungah popular for its convenient and economical spots for visitors.Not only that but , water sports activities are the most popular in Tanjung Bungah with the Penang Water Sports Centre based here.

Besides that, we still have Batu Ferringhi ! Battu Ferringhi is the second most famous hotspot in Penang after George Town , it's filled with a long stretch soft white sandy beach along the road named Jalan Batu Ferringhi. The night market is superbly awesome while the water sports activities are fun such as parasailing , windsurfing, parachuting , canoeing,sailing , horse riding etc etc .

One of the amazing thing in Penang which u cant find in KL is the FOOOOOODDDD!! If you're looking for a destination which offers good food then Penang is the right place . Those good food in Penang are usually not found in topnotch restaurants but found in hawker stores , strange eh ? These shops are usually not air-conditioned but wide open doors ,there are numerous hawkers stores all over the town and some of the best hawker food are in these shops . After trying many different places , i still think the best place is at Gurney Drive hawker centre . Famous dishes such as Mee Jawa, Laksa,Char Kuey Teow , Kuey Teow Theng , Prawn Mee , Fried Oyster and many more can be found there .
Okay thats it for the first post ! Hope u guys like it :) Oh yeahhh and one more thing, look how much food i and my friends ate the last time we went there ! Definitely a trip worth going . Bye bye :P

College life(post 2)
Fundamental in Management lecture ended early on thursday so my friends and i planned to walk around the school and take some photo for our blog and here it is !
Well friends, I present to you.... pictures! I know we're all gonna use the same pictures for our blogging ! :p ( more or less the same lah )
My awesome lunch break gang or should i say families !
Damn sad lor , a weakling getting bullied by 3 gangsters :(
Course mates which are fun to hang out with :P
-Credits to Faiz Azman for all these photos, they will make a good memory to remember in the future.-
Procrastination kills. Really! I'm not lying! You see, I was supposed to do a presentation to introduce myself in a creative way. Initially the time given was more than enough to complete the task given but after many times of "Aiyah, later only do lah!" , "Tomorrow lahhh!" , "Hmmm....must finish by tonight!" Also, going out having 'Teh Tarik session' with my friends till late night/early morning and so, the presentation turned into a nightmare for me.But presentation was okay though, love the QnA section which pulls me closer to others and makes me feel that i'm in the right place . Also , not to forget about my first assignment for Creative Comm and Portfolio Development (CCPD) which is blog writing . In case you guys don't know , what you are reading now is my first assignment i did so far . We're ought do two post per week with different themes, the theme this week is about 'College Life' that's why i'm writing about my experience i had up to now . I took a really long time just to finish these 2 post which is not hard at all , guess last minute work never comes out nice :/
So far i'm not involve in any clubs or curricular activities YET . But i already have some plans in my mind regarding what to join . Many of my friends are in the music club and i look forward to joining the club as well .I'm actually particularly interested in playing the piano although all i can do now is just randomly mash the piano keys and create sound pollution =.= . Another reason why i'm interested in learning to play the piano is because i've got a piano at home and i wish to cause more sound pollution put it to good use xD.As for sports aspect , i want to join the badminton club because it's the only sport which i favor. Lets go play badmintonnnn. Yeayyyyyy ~
I think... i'll stop for now since there's really nothing much left for me to write. If i keep going on and on and on and on i think i'll be repeating the same thing over and over and over and over and again and again, and again. See ?! So...for now, BAI !
Don't forget to check back for fresh updates daily ! ok maybe not daily. But at least twice a week lor. Good enough for a starter la =p
And and and and, don't forget to...
