My iPhone
The first handphone that I had is Nokia 3100 I think, I bought it when I was 15. At that time, hand phones is a trend. Many of the student carries them to school showing off to one another the latest model we had. Nokia was very popular at that time, though it in mono color, but we have all the basic functions of composing your favourite ring tones, messaging, calling etc.
As days goes by, we can see colorful images, we also started using GPRS / WIFI to surf net. The technology has become so handy that it allows us to check emails, read news articles as well as watching YouTube wherever you are. It has indeed become more functional, convenient and interactive.
In these days, we have 3G and 4G coming up. I'm using iPhone. It has many applications which is either free, affordable or pricey. I'm lucky to get one that is 'breakable' where I'm able to have a trial with games or applications.
Let me share with you some of my favorite applications from the AppStore.
- tranSGuide - I like this application. I'm able to check how long my bus is arriving and also the route for the bus number. Especially after I knock off from work, there are so many bus that I can take to go home. The sad thing is that it is only available for translink service, no luck for SMART passengers...
- Facebook - I can check all my friends' status, post / reply comments or even update my status wherever I am.
- eBuddy - This comes in handy when I'm not at my desk, I can always MSN while lying on my comfortable bed!
- WhatsApp - SMS quota too little provided by teleco service? Use WhatsApp, it allows us to message our friend just like MSN, and most importantly it is FREE! The disadvantage is that only iPhone users are allowed to send to one another.
- .977 Music - No radio functions in the handphone? Tire of current playlist? .977 Music is free, it is an online radio which can be installed on your iPhone.
2010 Chinese New Year in Kampong Koh, Sitiawan
Went back to Sitiawan to spend my Chinese New Year over there, it has always been our usual routine. This time back, cinema were renovated. This is the first cinema I visited, and it is the 'One and Only One' cinema in Sitiawan. There are a number of new cafe opened with WIFI.
Old town is one of the cafe I visited, it is just besides the GIANT supermarket. We also have Old Town in Singapore opened by Mark Wong. There are also other cafe like 'Uncle John' and 'Sunlight'.
The days in Sitiawan can only be describe with one word, HOT! It is just too hot over there as the place is situated above the earth equator at the west of Malaysia. Click here to see where is Sitiawan
Let's see some of the photos I've taken around the neighbourhood. We stayed at Kampong Koh, it a mixture of malays, indians and chinese. But I think it a malay kampong. You can also find some products made from Kampong Koh like chili sauce. http://www.kampongkoh.com.my/
Some photos taken at sunset.
Most of the kids here knows how to ride motorbike, the big field in front is the place where we watch fire works on the 30th of lunar calendar.
There are some parts of kampong Koh where you can find better houses.
This stretch is the place where new houses were just developed. Some of them were bought while some of them are still on sales.
On the 30th Lunar calendar, everyone come out from their house waiting. Some people prepared their firecrackers ready for count down, while the others came out to enjoy the atmosphere of Chinese New Year.
This is the field I mentioned earlier. Most people gather around to see the fireworks.
Last time, there are no such big fireworks, we play with small ones that some rotates on the floor with colorful lights.As the field is like a stadium size, I think it is more than 400m per round. You can see fireworks from different directions. Whenever there are fireworks which has the loudest bombs and design, people will start to focus the new one. Now the place is also popular with 'Kong Ming Deng' where people wrote down their wishes on the latern and set off into the sky. I thought it is only popular in Taiwan. Well, people does know how to earn money there.
During the day time, we did go to temples to pray. One of the place we go is '陳六公廟' at '二條路'. This area is one of the place I used to visit when I was young. I like the place as the houses were mainly built by wood and zinc rooftop. I like the old feeling of that place. This statue is new one.
I want to take this picture like as if you are at very sacred place, but I guess I failed. haha
This is the area where houses were mainly built with woods and zinc rooftop
We bring our grandfather to his favourite coffee shop.
This is call 'Moi Moi', it a kind of bread with our normal favor of kaya and butter.
Then while the rest drink coffee, I took some pictures outside after a heavy rain.
This is at '齊天大聖' temple.
Just beside the temple is a rubble plantation
Kampong Acheh is the best roti prata stall you can find in Sitiawan.The siting is limited, you have to come early to chop a place. If not, you have to wait for your turn! The stall is built above land and swamp. During low tides, farmer come here to dig 'Lala', a kind of clam which you can find in the market. Check out my previous post where I have actually go down bare footed to dig!

Admiraty Park
WooW~ Today I walk down to Admiraty Park. Took some pictures~ Kinda Tiring. It is just beside Republic Poly. Quite hard to hunt down bugs and insects to shoot.
HSBC Treetop walk
his is the second time I went up the HSBC treetop, thanks to Affandi, we took a shorter way to go up the treetop. Nevertheless, the walk is still exhausting. It took us only 5 minutes to finish the bridge, it windy up there and it a hot sunny day. After completing our treetop, we went up the tower (I can't remember the name of it) after walk 1km I think. From the treetop, we walk our way back to the main entrance where the car park is. I think we walk around 5km in total on that day.
It not as bad compared to the first time I went, because we walk from the main entrance all the way to the treetop. Stopping every minute and then to take pictures, it 4.2km to reach HSBC treetop. Then, after completing the treetop, we make our way down and I think we somehow lost our ways. I only know we were walking on tar mac road and luckily there's a big comfort cab and we just hopped in. Phew, my legs we breaking the first time I went. So.. The second trip is not as tiring as what I expected. Phew~
For those who didn't get the chance to see how's the view from the treetop.
