Christmas is just around the corner. Many shoppers spend great amount of money to buy Christmas presents and prepare for the Chinese New Year.

Only in the recent years that Penang shopping malls had noticed the importance and business opportunity of the Christmas. Thus they're putting their best Christmas decorations in the concourse areas to attract shoppers.

In this article, we'll see various themes of Christmas decorations from Penang shopping malls and happening places.

This is another brainless design that took no effort of quality improvement and efficiency.

As you can see from this picture, both the toilet bowls are facing the same grid around 1 square feet. The standing space is very limited. It's almost impossible that 2 guys standing at the same grid competing each other while taking a leak, especially in the eastern culture.

 It's all started by Kwongwah newspaper advertisement showing appreciation to the 1Malaysia Bicycle Ride on 25 September 2011 which was held in Straits Quay Penang. The original picture was posted on the headline on the same day.

But the advertisement picture inside the same newspaper was showing Koh Tsu Koon riding next to the Najib, which is the Prime Minister of Malaysia. But the fact is: Koh Tsu Koon was never in the picture. The detriment picture was enhanced by an image editing tool such as Photoshop, showing Kok Tsu Koon there like a miracle.

The very famous "Ghost's Lord"(大士爷) is always the main highlight during the 7th Lunar month. It's also an attraction of Bukit Mertajam every year that attracts thousands of worshipers.

The Ghost's Lord is made with paper and bamboo sticks. It has to be taller than the previous every year. This year, it has become the height as 26 feed and 8 inch.

The Ghost's Lord will be burn to ashes as a "sending back" in the middle of the lunar month. This year, the "sending back" will be held on the 18th of August 2011.

The people believe that the direction of its falling during the "sending back" ceremony will be prosperous trough out the year.

There was a protest led by Mogn Ghani against Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng had caused severe traffic chaos in Penang Island on the 1st of July 2011.

This group of people rallied at Komtar at first. Then they marched from Komtar to Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling. During the march, they occupied both lanes causing the traffic halted until the march had passed.

Latter in the afternoon around 4pm, they even blocked 2 lanes on Penang bridge toward the direction to Prai. Since it was friday and office take-off hours, many vehicles had been trapped in the traffic for hours.

ONLY ONE JPJ Police was sent to the Penang Bridge for the crowd control.

This might be the worst car show I attended in my whole life. I really can't believe an event organizer could make such n00b mistakes in many fields.
- Organizer with serious communication breakdown
- Almost empty content.
- Messed up activity conflict.
- Pointless parade.

Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion

A Grand Mansion conceived and constructed by a Grand Man; an eminent edifice which History calls Home; a peerless representation of the Paradigm Chinese Courtyard House – the Cheong Fatt Tze “Blue” Mansion has been perfectly poised for over a century on firm foundations of architectural, cultural and historic superlatives.
