No Recent Travel

I've been quit busy lately with my photography, more assignment works. Makes me haven't travel for quite sometime now. I'm so envy with Louis Pang, he is in Hong Kong now and after that continue to India. If you don't know his blog its www.louispang.com/blog . I hope I can spend time to travel some where may be next year.

Penang

I traveled to Penang recently to just to enjoy the food there but what I found out when I get there is not just the food but a lot more. I'm fascinated with richness of the Chinese culture in there. I stayed in one of the hotel in George Town near Penang Road, that is where I first saw a lot of Trishaw. I had a ride on it for the first time and find it very fun, just sit on it and the driver will take you around. There are a lot of old buildings in George Town area and my driver was kind enough to tell a little bit about the area histories. One thing about riding the Trishaw was, they will go in the middle of the busy road and all the car are just simply avoiding them or even stop and give a way for the Trishaw. I almost jump from the Trishaw when a car was coming toward us, the car slow down and give us a way. It was fun!! I visited few places in Penang, the Kek Lok Si Temple, Penang Hill went with the funicular train and of coz shopping at various shopping complex..the Prangin Mall Komtar and the new Queensbay Mall. Since the trip is for food trip, I went to many food stalls in Penang streets. Tried the Hokkien Mee at the food stalls in Chulia Street, Penang Char Kueh Tiau which I like very much and also Nasi Kandar at Line Clear food stall.
I would say the trip was fun 7 days was not enough. may be will come back again in the future for more.

Durian Season

Anyone of you have tried Durian? You can try Durian now if you are visiting Sabah. The Durian season started early this year. The people start selling on the side of the road since August. Now even more people setting up stalls for Durian. This picture I took it at Pekan Nabalu which is on the way to Kinabalu National Park. It is a normal stopping place for Kinabalu Park Day trip tour where the market also has stalls for handicraft. Basically in Sabah we have two type of Durian, the Normal Durian and a Wild Durian. The Normal Durian had a very strong smell where if you take it into a room with aircondition, the smell will stay in the room for a week. That is why its not allowed in the hotel room and coaches. The Durian was actually called as the "King of the Tropical Fruits" by Alfred Wallace. Find out by your self why he said so.

Uninstall Bitdefender

I am so piss when last night my laptop become super slow and cannot open any single file after installing the Bitdefender Antivirus 2008. I reboot again and again even trying to start my laptop on a safe mode but still not good. I restart my laptop using the last setting that work then I uninstalled bitdefender and again reboot and now it back on track. Did anyone of you experiencing this before? I'm not sure either something wrong during installation or the software of antivirus had problem.
