Story to share: Once upon a time, there lived a horrible demon creature named Nian. Every year, on the first day of the year, the creature would awaken and descend upon the village. He would eat all the grain and livestock. And if there were any unfortunately children stuck outside, they would disappear.
The villagers lived in fear of this beast and boarded up their houses on this night to protect their families. One year, right before this event was to occur, an old man visited the village. He turned to the villagers and asked, "Why do you fear this creature such? You are many and he is but one. Surely he could not swallow all of you."
But the villagers remained skeptical and locked themselves up anyway. That night, Nian did not come. The old man had ridden him until dawn and the creature went back to its cave hungry. This went on for several nights until the old man revealed, "I cannot protect you forever."
He turned out to be a god and had to return to his duties elsewhere. The villagers were terrified that once the old man left, they would once again see Nian return.
So the old man informed them, "The beast is easily scared. He does not like the color red. He fears loud noises and strange creatures. So tonight, spread red across the village. Hang red signs on every door. Make loud noises with drums, music, and fireworks. And to protect your children, give them face masks and lanterns to protect them."
The villagers did as the old man instructed and Nian never returned again.
In Chinese, the word for New Years is Guo Nian. Literally translated it means to "pass over Nian" or "overcome Nian". That is exactly what the villagers did.
It has become a tradition that part of New Years celebration is to hang lots of red decoration in your house. Streets are filled with music, loud drums, and fireworks all day long. And special paper lanterns are made in a variety of shapes and sizes, paraded through the streets to scare off any demons that might come.

Batu Ferringhi Batu Ferringhi has a several large resort, like Rasa Sayang, Golden Sands, Park Royal, Bayview etc. It looks like a new village, but it's very old. It used to be a kampong with a little fishing village. If you want to see a part of this old village you have to turn right when you have passed the Park Royal. The main road runs more or less straight along the coast for 3km, on which all the hotels, tourist shop, internet cafe's, motorcycle rental offices and restaurants (House of Kampong, Deep Sea or The Last Drop e.o.), are lined up side by side. In the centre you'll find the Telekom office, post office, police station and clinic. It takes a thirty-minute bus ride west of Georgetown on Transitlink #202 or Transitlink air-con #93. There is a bus from the airport (Bayan Lepas) to Batu Ferringhi.
Gurney Gurney Drive is a popular seafront promenade in Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia. The road is also one Penang's most popular tourist destinations, famous for the "hawker food" sold from food stalls formerly located along the seafront, now relocated close by. Previously known as the New Coast Road, it was completed in 1936 along what was then known as the North Beach, and renamed in 1952 after Sir Henry Gurney, British High Commissioner in Malaya (1950-1951), who was assassinated by the guerillas of the Malayan Communist Party during the Malayan Emergency. Over the years, the beaches along Gurney Drive have largely been lost to coastal erosion. More recently, a land reclamation project at nearby Tanjung Tokong has reversed the erosion, leading to the accretion of silt and mud off Gurney Drive. Mangrove saplings have sprouted in the mud, which is now frequented by egrets and other birds as well as mudskippers. There have been suggestions that this area, formerly earmarked for reclamation under the (now suspended) Penang Outer Ring Road project, be reclaimed for a recreational park or allowed to develop into a mangrove forest.

Bruce Lee (Lee Xiao Loong, Lee Jun Fan) (1940-1973) Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco on November 27, 1940 in the year of the Dragon while his father was on tour with the Chinese Opera. Lee was raised, however, in Hong Kong where he began his first formal training in martial arts with Wing Chung Master, Yip Man when he was 13. At the age of 18, Bruce Lee returned to the United States and attended the University of Washington in Seatte where, as a philosophy student, he began to train students in the art of the Chinese Gung Fu. Lee met his wife Linda during this time and opened his first school, the Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute. Lee later opened schools in Oakland and Los Angeles while he and Linda raised their son, Brandon, and daughter, Shannon. Lee quickly began to develop new ideas about martial arts and training based on many of his experiences, leading him to the creation of his own art called Jeet Kune Do. Bruce Lee went on to train many private celebrity students, such as Steve McQueen and James Coburn, and became a celebrity in his own right with his entree into American media via The Green Hornet and, of course, his later films, which catapuulted him to iconic status. Bruce Lee’s life, however, was cut short when he died on July 20, 1973 in Hong Kong from a cerebral edema caused by an allergic reaction to a pain medication. Lee was 32. His final resting place is Lakeview Cemetary in Seattle, Washington. via brucelee.com Fear Not Death refers to my tattoo
I’m serenading on this Point Blanc’s beat It is stated that Point Blanc made the beat for this track after I chose the sample for this track. The first beat for Penang Kia sounds too much like a Superman theme song.
I wrote the the bridge without thinking at Mandy's crib in less than 10 minutes time, I think less. This happens about about 1 hour before studio time.
My friends from Penang knows that since back then, about the y2K era, I've been talking/saying I'll do a song about Penang, I did it. Hopefully the guerrilla video will be enjoyed as well. If I receive dope beats for free, I'll talk business as well cuz I wanna do more dope songs if possible.
I did not click to get this view if that's what your thinking now.
True Story,I only perfom this song live 1 time so far without practice cuz it happens unknowningly.
Dear Lord & world, thnx to every1 who ever click on it, with just a day play on XFM radio, Malaysian Hip-Hop feature almost 10K, many thanx cuz I aint shit without a click from u, THANK U !!!

You need people like me so you can point your fuckin’ fingers and say, “That the bad guy.” So…what that make you? Good? You’re not good. You just know how to hide–how to lie. Me, I don’t have that problem.” Tony, Scarface
