George Town World Heritage Day 2010 (George Town Festival)

Georgetown Festival 2010

Yes! Once again, Penang has it all! George Town Festival, the greatest event for George Town to mark the day it was crowned the World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This festival is held every year in the month of July. And the best is 7 July is declared a public holiday as Heritage Day for Penangites! Last year, 2010, was the first year George Town Festival was held and on top of that, it was amazing, fabulous, rich in culture and absolutely one of the most successful events in Penang! Alright, I am not Penangite but I admit it was the best among all events in Penang. Why? During the month of July, it is the time Penang shines to the world of how great this small island is. You can feel the hospitality of Penang, richness in culture, peaceful city, different races, different cultures, different people, live under one roof with harmony as the principle of life! Without saying much, this year, 2011, July, once again, Penang is making another step in history, the new faces of George Town Festival 2011. The list of events is too long for me to say here.

Straits Quay, Penang

Straits Quay, Penang

Now, the next post is regarding Penang's First Seafront Retail Marina, the magnificent Straits Quay. When I first heard of it, I pronounced it as Straits "Kue" but the actual pronunciation is Straits "Key". Sorry for my poor English. This was the first time I set my foot on Straits Quay but definitely not the first time heard of it. Because it was opened, I joined the games in its Facebook (Straits Quay), I won myself a RM50 Cash Voucher from Four Season Bakery in Straits Quay. It is a big place with extraordinary design, either interior or exterior. According to my friend's observation, it is targeting a certain group of people with special interest basically because it is not like a normal shopping complex with lots of brand and variation. I am sure the design is fantastic which favours the design from the West. It has its own class and is wonderful.

Gary Cao 【曹格】 LIVE at Gurney Plaza, Penang

Gary 曹格

Alright! Here comes Gary Cao LIVE at Gurney Plaza, Penang yesterday, 17 June 2011 at 8PM, at the new wing. Actually I have a lot of posts to write but I chose to blog this first because I simply think Gary is awesome. He is from Malaysia and he is very friendly and humble. He is not arrogant but get very close to fans. He sang, danced, played games, shake hand with fans and even allowed fans to take personal pictures with him for those having his album. Normally, no personal picture is allowed due to time constraint but since he is Gary 曹格 as said by him, there will be photo session with fans personally! He even said that he treated Gurney Plaza as Bukit Jalil and kneel down while singing. At the end of this post, I uploaded the video of him singing 背叛 and kneel down.
