Hungry Ghost Festival Stage Performance in Penang 2010 (Pepper Estate)

Hungry ghost festival in 2010 was from 10th August to 7th September. Every year, local Chinese will have a ritual ceremony and stage performance during the festival. At the place where i growth up, Pepper Estate, two nights of Chinese Opera and two nights singing performance have been held at the entrance of the housing area. I missed the Chinese Opera part as i was going somewhere else with my parents and i almost miss the singing part. When i reach home from outside, the singer has only two songs left, so, i ran down to the entrance with my camera and take some photos of the performance, haha. 

I had missed the festival for few years in a row (can't really recall how many years) due to studying in other places such as Kedah, Kelantan, Sarawak and Adelaide. This time, during my one week holiday in Penang, i take the opportunity to take some photos and share with everyone the unique annual event of Penang.

Funny Notice in Penang...

I got this notice in one of the simulation game shops in Gurney Plaza. When i read the Chinese part, i got what it means but when i look at the English one,  i totally have no idea what it wants to deliver and it will be really ridiculous for those who can't read Chinese. I'll go back there again before leaving Penang to see whether they have change it or not...

This is is from one of the CD shops in One Stop Midlands Park, Penang. What i wanna ask is... what kind of games could stimulate a gamer??? Stimulator and Simulator, the meaning is difference man...

Is this call URBAN POVERTY (Penang)

I just can't believe my eyes when seeing this happen in front of me...

This happened 2 days before the CNY when i was in Penang. I and my friend went to 'Little India' as my friend wants to change his AUD into RM.

While waiting for him to change the money, i saw a group of women and children came into the money exchange outlet without any talking, but only put their hands out and turn their palms up in front of the person in charge. Without asking any question, that person gives them 10 to 20 cents each, then this group of people left and went to other money exchange outlets to do the same thing (not sure whether they go to other shops which are not money exchange). The whole process takes less than 10 seconds.

I asked myself, did they came and do the same thing everyday? What is going on with Penang? Is this call Urban Poverty?

The Sunset of Penang

Shoot this photo from ferry when i'm on my way back to Penang from Butterworth with my family.

I love this sunset photo as it is able to portrait how beautiful the ocean is... Protect the ocean and protect the environment...

一杀那的美丽只代表那一杀那...

Chinese New Year at Penang

This picture was taken from the deck of a Penang Ferry. I like Penang so much in terms of shopping, relaxing, gathering with friends and family... but i don't like the traffic especially during the festive session. The whole Penang flooded by cars, especially with the number plates which start with W, B, A and K.

Advice to all outstation cars, this is Penang, not KL, motorists are always around you, please look properly before making a turn (coz i and my friend almost become the victim).
