St Anne's Day

St. Anne's Church

St Anne's Church appears to be the greatest landmark of Bukit Mertajam. If I am not wrong, they are one of the earliest church in Penang and also the biggest up to date.
Busses for visitors all over Malaysia


St. Anne's Day celebration is held annually around this time. Apology for not knowing the exact date but you can see from the road traffic around the church, very obvious.

Parking sibeh full, even at the back of

I am actually practising Buddhism and the likes (ie. whichever that requires joss sticks..lolz) but I'm quite liberal in religious views. So I've been to and prayed in churches (actually, St. Anne's is my only so far), Indian Temples, Burmese Temples etc. Well, I don't foresee any problem as there has no any 'clash of titans' that I have experienced so far...

In fact, I'm not the only one there with such view. There are quite some visitor who held their lit candles but treated them like joss- stick. I believe praying procedure/ methods should not be the obstacle to the faith we have in religions. In fact, most religions teach good things right. So what is wrong with adopting good practices from various faiths.
The newer side of the church


The fact that I go to St. Anne's Church for that occasion is because I am grateful to be blessed by 'god-ever is it..' with my achievements and life. So just wanna say thank you to god-ever is it.

Art features everywhere

Anyway, this does not mean I am converting. I may not a true Buddhist but I believe Buddhism runs in my blood and I am proud to be one.

Nice bell tower, taken with crappy camera phone

On going contruction, this Church is rich in fundings

Office in Weekend= Library in Unim

Spend some of my weekend hours in the office. Nostalgically, this scenario reminds me back at the days when I visited the library. Spent the 1st 30 mins fiddling books, and the remaining hours chatting with friend, surfing internet while waiting for friends call to go for a short (like 40 mins) tea break outside the university. And now, I'm waiting for colleagues' call to head for cinema.. tickets bought already anyway. Life in Miri is much more easy going than in KL. Office is just 5 minutes away from my home, cinema/ town 15 minutes from office. No jam, more time, but lack of crazy funny stuff to do. Hope my boss don't see this... ahaha..just kidding but hey, isn't today Saturday?!

1st Time @ Sarawak Offshore

Day 1: I boarded a helicopter from Miri Airport. It was my first time in a helicopter and was amazed that a passenger helicopter can actually carry 20+ passenger. It took almost an hour to reach the destination, E11 platform. We stopped by a platform in the middle of the journey to pick up two passengers. Immediately after arrival, we went to meet the medic, had a quick lunch and undergo safety briefing. Safety is very critical especially at offshore since it is isolated, and even significant since I'm attached to HSE department. E11 crew was very busy for the whole day due to start up process. Therefore, me and another HSE manager had to stay in our room, waiting for tea time in the evening. Then we returned to our room, waiting for dinner in the late evening. Then we returned to our room again, waiting for supper. So it was all about food that day! Anyway, we were given reading material, the E11 HSE Case but that was not sufficient for the many hours. Day 2: As a p...

Infactuation

Somehow, I grew fond of her. I wanted to see her everyday, be with her. Today, I spent 3 hours washing her on the inside. Finally she's clean. I bet previously her master does not take care of her that well, can see from misalignment, poor hygiene etc. Then, in the evening I took her to an accessory shop and present her an arm rest. It suited her rather well. I've just kick started my career so hope she will bear with me. I promised to get her something nicer when I'm better off with my job. demure looking Man, I can't wait to see her in skirts. Her 'future' skirts... Don't swt...
