Jon Bon Jovi

// October 27th, 2009 // 4 Comments » // Journal

I wouldn’t consider myself to be a hardcore fan of the rock band Bon Jovi but decent enough to be a loyal fan. In fact, music to my life started through his songs when I was only 8 years old. Can you believe it, listening to rock songs at that age. Which back then, it was not a norm.

Bon Jovi songs have always inspired me on the real world life and relationship. It’s not only about the rock culture, more importantly it was the lyrics.

Initially, it was the rhytm & beat that I listened to. As I grew older, it was then I understood the lyrics. Most of his songs contained the character Tommy and Gina; representing the typical american life lived and relationship.

It has been a great companion to me in music life and will always be my favorite.

Putrajaya Sight

An escapade trip with Dennis and Sophea to Putrajaya. Renowned for being a world by its own and I definitely do not have the feeling of being in KL once I set my foot there.

Here’s a quick glance on the sight of Putrajaya.

Hard Rock Penang

// October 20th, 2009 // 8 Comments » // Places

Love, Sex, Rock & Roll. Have you ever fantasized of being a rocker or even dream how it would be like to live in a Rocker’s world? Stop fantasizing and dreaming now. Let’s turn it into a reality, a close one at least. Rock your way and live the lifestyle of many great rockers do out there.

Welcome to the world of Rock & Roll where Love & Sex is just part of the lavishing lifestyle. Introducing the first Hard Rock Hotel in Malaysia, located in Batu Ferringhi Penang.

I rocked my way there on the 15th and upon arrival, I was served with a cooler and being presented with a gift. The gift was given to customers that made reservation prior to their opening.

Got my rock card and it’s time to proceed to the room I’m staying.

The bathroom is unique. Being a rocker, I worry no more on how I look. Waking up each day to feeling great and with a rocksome attitude.

While heading to my room, I’m fascinated on how cool the walk way is. It’s just so different from the rest of the 5 Star hotels I’ve stayed with dull walkway.

Took a quick nap as I’m tired out by the gruesome journey from KL to Penang. As I woke up, it was time for dinner and what better place to have my meal than Hard Rock Cafe.

The cafe was slowly packed with beautiful people and it’s time to hide the camera and say hello to the hot elegant ladies in there.  It’s time to rock the world!

Arrived at the main lobby and goodness gracious, the night view of the hotel is not the same as the daytime. During daytime, the hotel would look like a happening cheerful holiday resort but the night view changed totally to a Hollywood scenario with glamorous lighting.

Hold on there… Am I drunk or I just didn’t notice it earlier. Standing there, it was my all time favorite rock dude! The well known Mr. BearBrick

Tired of rocking the world, perhaps it’s time to catch up with some good sleep. Before that, tuning in to the rock channel will do just fine for me.

Got up to a sunny Friday and had my breakfast at the alfresco cafeteria area.

A happy man after breakfast. I should probably relax and chillz by visiting the beach not forgetting the uniquely designed pools where you can only find in Hard Rock Hotels.

After much walking at the beach on a sunny day, exhaustion kicks in to my body. It was then I discovered the methodology for body revival. Behold, the Rock Spa. The packages offered by Rock Spa are reasonable in terms of pricing and the spa treatment is considered above average.

If you’re like Fred of the Flintstone that brings a family to the resort, you may dump your beloved kids at the teens club while you relive the life of a newly wed couple. On the other hand if you have too much time to kill, you may take this opportunity and join the teens club too. Have a game or two on Foosball, Pool or even Nintendo WII to feel young again. That’s what I’ve done and it feels good being a kiddo again.

Leaving soon? Don’t forget to check out the Rock Shop as they have really cool items. This is where I got the souvenirs for myself.

My rock tour stops here after a 3 days 2 nights at Hard Rock Penang. Overall, I am pleased to say that my stay was rocksome.  Great design, cozy rockers room, unique environment, friendly staffs who rock my day and needless to say; all time old skool rock songs.  Hence, the Hard Rock Penang gets a full five guitar rating.

The gruesome journey and effort made to Hard Rock Penang will make you rock your way back again. I know I definitely will.
