Hard Rock Hotel, Penang

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

We finally landed in Hard Rock Hotel, Penang and it is bustling with activities. Despite it’s smaller size compared to other Hard Rock Hotel, it does have perhaps just enough to keep you entertain for a couple of days, and you always have the many surrounding areas you can explore.

Situated in the northern coast along Batu Ferringi, it started operation in Sep 2009 and from the look of it, has attracted quite a crowd. Most of the rooms are facing the sea and you can see the range of activites constantly been carried out. Para-sailing, horse riding, jet-skiing, sun-tanning, etc…you can be sure you will not be along at the beach.

With the pool just a stone throw away from the beach (literally), you can always decide where you want to swim. With activities taken the kids in mind, you can also leave your kids with them while you and your spouse have some relexation.

Food price are reasonable or you cab just cross the road for some local fare or cheaper alternatives. To get to the biggest shopping complex aka Gurney Plaza, you can take a cab for around RM30 or better still, take a bus (101 or 102) from right outside the hotel for just RM2 per person. If you travel light, bus 102 even takes you to the airport. Else by cab it will be RM60 and the reception can help you arrange for one.

The question is, did My family and I had a great time here? Will we consider coming back? The answers to both questions are a big YES! In fact, we plan for a longer stay (compared to put 3D2N trip this time round) so that we can spend a wee bit more time in the hotel and also spend some time at the surrounding areas.

OCBC Cycling

Friday, March 5th, 2010

I never thought it will take me so long to post again. But I guess the last post mysteriously disappear kinda pissed me off.

During my disappearing act, things are starting to look good for me, in almost every area of my life. My aim now is to maintain and improved on it.

Also, during this time, I got myself a mountain bike, only to realize that MTB seems to be less popular now, with majority going for road or hybrid bikes. With the OCBC Cycling event coming up this Sun, I can see myself crawling through the crowd.

It’s about 17 years since I did any form of cycling, and I can feel my muscles are all not quite use to it. They have been complaining ever since the 2 fam ride I did. So doing 20km this Sun is going to be one heck of a challenge. What with I guess almost everyone on the bigger road wheels and I’m on my small MTB wheels. But that’s life, it’s never fair and it depends on how you overcome it.

So wish me good luck, I’ll need it.

解我心

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

在这辽阔的世界里,有谁能了解我心?
在这狭窄的房间里,没人能解开我心。
隐藏着郁闷的心情,却不能表露出来。
带着多少的不开心,却只能强颜欢笑。
为有他能了解我心,
在他面前我可以大声哭泣。
为有他能解开我心,
让我可以继续的向前迈步。

好开心

Friday, February 5th, 2010

今天好开心,能和我老婆单独约会。好久没有这样了。有了孩子之后,单独相处的机会是少之有少,所以很珍惜这种时间。我们去好好吃了一餐,然后去走走,买了她喜欢的东西,也送了一分早已准备的礼物。希望她也和我一样开心,忘掉烦恼的事。希望我可以永远是她的支柱,是一个她可以完全依靠的人。我爱她,爱到疯狂,爱到每人能想像。:D

Life is like a box of chocolate

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Things are happening so fast and in the blink of an eye, it Feb already. At times things seems to be getting better but other times it seems to get worst. I’m confused and is unsure how to deal with it anymore. I can only pray.

Praying to some may seems like a lame excuse of not actively doing something, but when everything you do seems to make things worst, you soon realize that you should take a step back and let God come into the foreground instead. Because He knows better than I do, so why do I keep insisting my way?

2 things on my wish list, less obsession and more dependent on me. A wishful thinking? Maybe. But at least I’ve made my point. Oh, I did wish for truth and openness, and not sure if it will go down as just another hope.

In the movie Forest Gump, the famous line is “life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you gonna get”. And I guess it’s 100% right. Life is so unpredictable. Someday you can be in estasy, another in complete dispair. Sometimes you feel so loved, another you feel like the world is against you. But do we let our situations or feelings control us? The obvious answer is no. The big question is how? May God grant each of us the wisdom to overcome.

The result of not overcoming can be deadly. Some might go for the worst and take their own life, some may go crazy, some may just wallop up in a corner every night and cry, yet still some may just live a life without feelings. Some are good at covering up, others not so. Whatever it is, know that you can never deal with it alone. And if you are, like me, running out of options, than seek help from the Almighty God, who was and is and is to come.

Reality vs Fantasy

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

You know something? Reality will always loose to fantasy. I’m sure you know why. Reality is harsh and usually unacceptable, but fantasy is sweet and without faults. So if I am in reality, I will always come 2nd best to the one in fantasy. It’s tough to accept, but is something I perhaps need to face up with.

I’ve been having lots of struggle lately, and struggling to cope with this fact is one major issue. I told myself that I cannot loose to fantasy, because I’m real! There is life breathing in me and I can react according to different situations, so I cannot loose to something that is unreal. But how wrong I am.

I soon realize that in the fantasy world, everything is perfect. Yes, even faults in the real world becomes a good thing in the fantasy world. So I am in for a shock, and reality shows that I am not only imperfect, but a burden sometimes. Can someone be deeply in love with someone in both worlds? We may be lead to believe it can happen and that love in the reality and fantasy don’t cross. I’m not so sure about that. What if the fantasy became reality? What if the fantasy turns out to be something as real as it can be? It does complicates matter a lot more but we will never know who than is the ultimate winner. The fear is that fantasy turns reality will triumph over the old reality, as the old reality is boring, a burden, and reminds of the unhappy pass.

Are you living in reality or fantasy? Or both? I hope happiness and love can be found in the real world, as that is what is suppose to last through the ages.

Help!

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Today I broke down again. Just can’t help myself and with breakthrough not forthcoming, and triggered by some events, I just cannot stop.

My heart is burning with pain, but who will understand me? I’ve been seen as been selfish, thoughtless, unaccomodating, not understanding, helpless, the list goes on.

How long can I go on longer without breaking down again, how much longer before I go beyond breaking down? I don’t know.

Praying for Breakthroughs

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

It’s been a tough few days, thank God I don’t have to face it alone. God has been gracious and things are beginning to be on the up. Or at least that is what I hope will be. To be frank, I do feel that there is a wall divide, and it is up to me to break it down. With His help, I hope it will not be long, as the longer it goes the worst it is going to become.

So the next few weeks are going to be key, as I commit the situation to God daily and hope for small breakthroughs everyday. Keep on praying…
