Georgetown City Day

Something just never change. I am trying my very best to stick closely to my new year's resolution and just realised that I forgot to add 'blog more often and keep the blog up-to-date' to my list. I am about to post an entry on an event that took place on the first day of year 2011. Procrastinating again, as usual? Well, no! I had been and still am making full use of my time baking cookies for chinese new year.

Anyway, lets get to the point. Georgetown, Penang was given the world heritage site status on July 7th two years back. What follows was major street festival and events to honour this title. Little did we know, Georgetown was also the first state in Malaysia to be given the city status. This title was given by Queen Elizabeth in year 1957. For the very first time this year, the Penang government organised a celebration to honour this status.







We reach Esplanade (the venue of the event) just in the nick of time to witness the flag-off of a cycling event as well as chingay performance.












One of the highlight of the event. I personally like this corner the most.





















Games corner.









Random cute vehicles.




Penang Chief Minister's car.




The official opening ceremony and parade of Georgetown City Day. The mc for the night was Mahadzir Lokman, a popular local celebrity.












Ending the event or should I say starting a great year 2011 with fireworks.

What's Up Year 2011 ?

Hello 1111 (1st January 2011)! Welcome year 2011 !

It's official. The first decade of the millennium is over. We are entering the beginning of the second decade. How time flies. Wasn't it only recently that I graduated from high school/college? Isn't it only recently that I started mingling with people of the opposite gender? I am a newbie in the working world? I am not so grown-up yet to party hard?

The answer to all the above question is a big NO. I had been letting life and time pass by without actually achieving much and without really growing up. I will be in my mid twenties this year. I have got to do something. Waste time no more, start living life like a grown up, and go out there and achieve some goals.

Note to self : The mindset for year 2011 is to live each day as though 24 hours daily is not enough for you to do the things you want to do.

New year's resolutions that must be kept and achieved
1. Lose all the baby fats. Come on, I am baby no more. It's time to be slim and sexy.
2. Practise 3G - Think good, Speak good, and Do good.
3. Land my dream job, my ambition of all time.
4. Learn a language, tentatively French.
5. Go for a holiday overseas with my family.

New year's goals that I hope to achieve
1. Take up a course of study.
2. Invest in properties (most probably a house).
3. Move from single-ville to dating-land.
4. Make more friends and really appreciate each friendship.

I am all geared up to face year 2011. I want to make this year my year! (Just like how Taylor Swift made year 2009 her year and Justin Bieber, year 2010 his year). I don't hope to be as famous as them. All I wish is to stick to my new year's resolutions and lead the life I desire. Bring it on year 2011 !
