Penang Penang

Finally home after 2 long days of walking involved in Penang with Tian. To walk around on your feet is always something fun to do cos you will discover things you didnt realise when you´re on the car. But the hot weather somehow seems to discourage all the walking motivation. I have sunburn now. Bleh. Pain! Q__Q

The map didnt help much in getting our way around. We end up getting lost anyway. Haha. Getting lost in Georgetown is always interesting as you walk around the lanes randomly and bump into food stalls. =P

Freshly baked eggtarts! Chocolate cake! Peanut dumpling! I love buying food from shops that doesnt have signboards aka foodstalls. To see how the old uncle and aunty concentrates making them, it shows that they baked them with love. =)


And it did taste good. Jalan Melayu is the street you can get these yummies.

Our destination was Padang Kota Lama so the walking began with help from the locals for direction. Haha. View from along the walk at Dewan Sri Pinang:


After a long walk about 30 minutes (we were warned told that its gonna be a LONG walk), we reached Fort Cornwallis. Yay!

Look look, the place where they keep the belerang. Bang! Boom! *grin*


And Tian who has plans to conquer the world one day with the meriam and he idoled Francis Light apparently. XD


Then it was time to walk blindly back to Georgetown to look for lunch. Lalala. We saw the lighthouse and decided to check it out. The stairs up the tower was quite scary, I felt like I could drop anytime. Tian was pretty scared on his way up the tower, he is scared of heights btw. If I felt it was alil scary (I have no fear of heights), what is this to him then? Haiz. I felt bad for telling him to just go up and stop feeling scared cos nothing is gonna happen. Sorry Tian, your jie wasnt sensitive enough. :(



Batu Feringghi was next! It rained for abit when we were at Gurney, luckily we had shelter. Right timing to be in Gurney Plaza le :)



For dinner, we had like 5 different food such as nasi lemak gulai ikan (we bought it from a foodstall and it tasted good :) ), spring rolls, char hor fun, Taiwan sausage (I didnt like it), cuttlefish mit spinach and ais kacang! That night, I ate till I drop. So full!! But satisfying. =)

Going off to Genting in 10minutes. Haha. Have to get ready now.

picloggy


The bro came up to Penang and forced me to be his tour guide. Sighs. Of all things, a tour guide. Me and my sense of direction doesnt come in handy in situations like this. Bleh.

On the first day, we just roam around BJ and Qbay to do some shopping. Bro is more shopaholic compared to me. Dinner in Kapitan with tandoori and not so nice murtabak.

Second day was filled with walking, getting lost, giving up on map reading, eating, mall hopping and beach. From Komtar to Georgetown to Gurney to Batu Feringhi. We ate so much at Batu Feringghi, had about 5 different dishes for dinner for two. With all the crazy walkings, we deserve it? And I was burnt a little with all the walking under the hot shining blazing sun. Its red now. =.=

Third day was about food, Penang Hill and missing the bus home. =P I miss Sunshine Sq apom with extra kacang. Huhu.


The few favourite picture of the day:

SMS workshop


Few weeks back, I was requested to help facilitate a workshop with 7 other people. Thinking it would be interesting to faci high school students, I took up the offer anyway since it would be a good and new learning experience. Initially I had no idea what this workshop is all about and where it was. Then the details came in. It will be in Taiping in a school called (look at the picture below) with the title "Preparation for Interview."

Where is the school situated? Opposite Taiping Zoo! Lolx. I am serious!

SMS has a concept similar to boarding school and everyone studies in Science. The crowd was very warm and enthusiastic. Semangat! =))
This bunch of kids were lucky to have talks like this before-hand. At least they know what to expect after SPM and prevent themselves from the not-to-do´s and start preparing themselves. Me? I just went according to the flow but tried to go along my dream.

First half of the day, we were free. Nothing much to help out cos it is Puan Jun´s session to enlighten them about everything they should know about interviews.

Lucky me, I had Mich and Yee Leng with me to keep me entertained. Lmao. So off we went to sibuk² around the school. The school was quite pretty with ponds, fishies, mini domestic zoo and kitties!! =P


Isnt the cute lil kitty so adorableeee??
I found the kitty hideout btw. Lol.

I was imitating some cat sounds and go "meow! Roar!" with the hello lucky cat hand gestures. It scared the cat away. Errrr, I duno what the purring meant. Rofl.

Oh oh, the hairy-leg rooster and the white rabbit below! So so cutee!! ^^


Next stop? Taiping Zoo! But we made a detour to the playground and fight with the kids to play this. Lmao.



Pitstop for an ice-cream break. Haha. Where Mich almost got eaten by the tigger that ran away from Taiping Zoo. I wander if we will get rewarded for returning the tigger back to the zoo. We will always remember your sacrifice Mich!!! =P



To proof that we were at Taiping Zoo, we took lots of pictures!! Be prepared!!





Hahaha. You´re convinced right? Hahaha. Of course we were there. We even sat on this. =P



After a long hot walk at the Zoo, we had to go back to reality to do what we were supposed to do. Facilitate! But we took an "adventure" down the tunnel instead. Oooooo. "sampat"



There was sharing session allocated where all the facis would share their experience and advices to the kids. Basically the objective of this sharing session is to enlighten them about what´s next after spm, what-to-do´s after SPM, motivating them to university and start planning their career route. Ooo, serious stuff. They seem excited when it was my turn to speak. Rofl. In between my hands were shaking while holding the mike and I told them jokingly to not do what I just did cos it is just too obvious that I am nervous. LOLx.

During the mock interview session, the facis were separated into classes and started the group discussion where they will be given a topic to talk about. Feedback will be given after the discussion ended. Individual interview was done also and I have to say some of them were just too shy and humble about their language proficiency. Motivation was given so that they will realise how good they were actually are and how they can further improve. Sometimes, people dont realise how good they are and they need to know about it. ^^

Overall, the whole workshop turned out good. They are motivated. Thumbs up to all of them.

A sign

The call is here.

Dad and mum actually called me to ask when will I be back home. They both sounded so so happy through the phone when I said I will be back next week. I could feel their excitement through the conversation. So I will be home, be a good kid and not create an impression that I am running away from home, for now.

I am so attached to them. Just one call and I will do anything to not disappoint them. I am still dee's and mee's little girl. =)

2 de silly rakas

It has been 8 long weeks now, 2 months in a week. Couldnt have been better without you. Thank you for being you. Thank you for your attentiveness. Thank you for all the love.
"Ich liebe dich rakas!"



The days are empty,
The nights are cold.
I sit at home,
Wondering when we'll reunite.
Looking at your picture,
Which leaves me in tears!
Reminiscing on the memories,
We have shared and once feared,
Knowing that we will be together once again.
Hoping the days and nights go by.
So that we are back in each others arms.
As i sit and wonder when that day will come.
All i can do Today is pray and dream that our love will reunite back together.

- - - -- - - - -

I've never seen you
Or touched your skin
I've never felt your lips
Or held you tight
But I know I love you

Not because of the way you look
Or because of that sexy voice
Not because of the things you say
But because of whom you are

When we meet I will kiss you
And hold you all night

I love everything about you
Because it's you






And rakas, thank you for accepting me as me.
I think and hope you are. =P

de Story of Pipey

Because I was bored with cutting and pasting the tables into Microsoft Words and then elaborating crapping about the results, I suddenly thought of posting about tips on how to handle bad-behaving pipes. =P

So where did I get the idea? The house I am living in, Pipey wasnt behaving. My very own inspiration comes from things around me. Lolx. More like I am coming out with excuses to not work on my report and detour to blogging instead. Haha.


Symptoms of bad-behaving pipes?

When you turn the tap (clueless what is the right term, too lazy to find the right name after a few times searching for it), water doesnt flow out or even drip. So you continue turning the tap left and right and hopes something do happen next but nothing does. Then you're pissed and maybe turned violent to the tap. =P


Some things that are highly encouraged that you can do:
  1. Some people say talking to your plants will enhance its growth so, it might work with pipes also. Talk to it.
  2. Give it a nickname. Mine was Pipey.
  3. Ask it why is it not behaving and what's up with it. Try to create a conversation with Pipey.
  4. Speak in some other languages besides the current one you're using to talk to it . Mine worked when i talked to it in Cantonese.
  5. Remember to pat it gently. Like a pet. =P

My dear troublesome Pipey. I called it TaiB, its in Cantonese. Its not really polite to call people in live so calling a non-living thing is still acceptable. =P

Gonna miss Pipey after I moved out. NOT!! Speaking of which, I wander when is the plumber coming? Haiz.

Summariee

My my, it has been 2 long weeks since I last blogged. Well the one I asked for assistance in the survey dont really count as a blog entry. Haha.

Nothing much happened for the past 2 weeks. I pretty much stayed at home most of the time because I feel "attached" to the house. Haha. No la. =P

Finding out some interesting knowabouts lately. Drooling over GTI Golf Volkswagen, i love the car interior! Meeting up with an old friend and catching up. Miss Kan came up to Penang. Me and addiction to Bejeweled in Facebook, play it and you will know what I mean. Finish PM presentation and project, yayy!! More Big Bang Theory dosage, I am in season 2 now. Feeling bad for not going home last weekend after dad called. Had awesome time in Divali with food and company. Progressing after spss, it´s report time. Some weird pretty creepy lift incidents. Didnt get much of my daily dosage last week but I am still surviving, woot! =P


That pretty much sums it up.

I miss rakas. =(

Street performers

This song reminds me of the guy who was playing a guitar on the street of Italy (if I am not mistaken).

He played it so beautifully that it touches my heart and I wanted to stay to watch him play. ^^




Back home, its hard to find a good street performer. I miss those performance I have seen. The creative costumes, the music instruments at the streets, underground tunnel etc ., dancing and so on.

Creepy nite

Yesterday was a pretty "interesting" night. The nice relaxing mood was suddenly filled with dazzling yet soothing music. Sorry, but I meant total opposite in my previous sentence.

It was my first time freaking out after listening to music. If the lights in the house were to die at that moment, I would totally be screaming my head off and freak out, hugging whoever is nearby and perhaps go into panic attack state. Somehow, the music creeps me out. It wasnt my cup of tea.

Find it disturbing somehow and it gives me the creeps. Brrrrr. I am still wandering why though.

Wander what all this rehearsal is for. What event. Hmmmmm.

Druggy song =.=

The song is stuck to my head. And its not reli helping with me keep playing it. Sighs.

Go awayy


Can I just pretend?
Can I just ignore?
Can I just let it be?


Should I just not think about it? But I cant lie to myself that it doesnt bother me somehow.

I want to find a place to emo and somewhere to do reflection. Bleh.






Current stage: Empty head
Current mood: Numb

Big Bang Theory fan

It was such a screw up this two days so I decided to treat myself to a nice comedy series back to back and it didnt fail to make me laugh. Seriously, watch it! Its really addictive though. Watch it at your own risk. Dont say I didnt warn you. =P


Leonard, Sheldon, Peggy, Leslie and Raj are the main character names.

A series about how a bunch of 4 friends who's smart, nerds and geeks spending their time together till a new neighbor girl came along into their life. Its funny watching them explaining stuff I dont understand(science stuffs) cos they relate everything to Math and Science. Also, full of sarcasm. I love this series!


I just realised that Leonard looks awe without his glasses. =P

"Tak Nak" to Maggi Mee

The one thing I should not eat is instant noodle. Specifically Maggi Mee. Everytime I eat it, I go into food depression state. Instead of filling my stomach, I become more hungry and have crazy food cravings. After 30 minutes of eating Maggi, I was really hungry again and feel munchy all the time. Sighs.


I know about this fact. But I still ate them for lunch just now ignoring the after-effects. Akibatnya? I am food deprived. Sobs.


Padan muka kan?

I need a few days to recover from this Q__Q

Working Place

My favourite spot to work :

At Management school PC lab
At Graduate Business School.


Why? Because they have a nice big working computer table that I can lay my things around on. Because its comfy working in a air-conditioned room. They also have chairs that I can sit on which I can wiggle around with, one big plus point for that Lolx. I love the big computer screen. Not to forget, the Internet connection here is pretty fast and stable.

If they are open 24 hours, I would be more than delighted to camp here ^^

MidAutumn guilt

Its the Mid-autumn festival last Saturday where everyone "should" be at home with their loved ones celebrating it.

Playing lanterns, burning them in between.

Lighting up candles and arranging them nicely and again, maybe burn down our own house by accident.

Gulping down all sorts of mooncakes with different flavors under the big shiny moonlight.

Throwing oranges with our numbers tied onto it into the river, sea or longkang hoping our prince charming will take it and give us a call. Lolx.


Its one of the rare days when mum would call me out of nowhere and the sudden guilt hit me cos I havent been calling home or spend time at home during this festives period. You can actually hear her sighing behind the phone and the sigh actually sounded like this. "How i wish Ah Ling was home now. The family and atmosphere would be complete then, haiz".

I feel bad everytime I go home cos there is always a BIG happy smiley faces of mum and dad welcoming me home n how relieved they are whenever they see me. Dad missed me so much that he doesnt nag me nowadays. Mum miss me till she say yes to any demand I ask for, I think.

Therefore I want to spend time at home during the 3 weeks of study breaks I will have. I am not a homey type of person. After 2 weeks of rotting, I will start complaining and find things to do. =P

Sorry Sorry by SJ

Although this song was out at the beginning of this year, but I just found out about it during the Raya break. I have to admit I am amazed at their dance moves.

When it comes to songs I like (I replay the songs like a zillion times), dance moves in MV are most important. Next, the beat of the music.

Enjoy!




If you can dance, you can.


Friday was a good day.

I was out for Divali shopping with Ubi, Ahma and Ahcha. It feels good to spend time with them again. =)

Have always wanted to buy a punjabi suit but since I came back, I dont have that shopping mood somehow. I need to look for it again wherever it is hiding. Lalala.

We had brunch at Anadabavan with all the Indian food that I have missed so much. Huhu. I love eating with hands and all the vegetables. ^^ There was papardam, payersam n mouri too.













After brunch, the hunt for Divali clothes starts. Shop hopping was fun but was feeling tired at the end. I must be aging alot already. Just alil walk of 4 streets and I have to take a rest. Sighs. This year the choices was alil disappointing compared to the 1st time I went to Little India. Will I ever get myself one? Huhu.

After resting for abit, it was Pasta Nite! Lolx. Yes, my life is surrounded by lotsa food and good company of friends. Blekkk. This time, there was 8 of us.

The chef for the Nite is none other than MeeMee of the Nite, Nana. =p
She likes to pose like that. Haiz. Its her signature pose or something. =P


The food was ready. BUT the 2 people who´s bringing ze dessert werent there yet. So we waited, waited and waited. Oh, our poor lil innocent stomach who has to sufferrr. We wandered who would reach faster if we were to make a pizza delivery. Lembap la this people. Haiz.

The tarrot sifu, Mich who cant wait anymore decides to eat 1st. Ahem. She needs energy for her live performance. "I want to know my future!" Lolx.


With patience waiting, the dessert was here. Yay! JCo Donuts and Coffee!!



























Ze dessert has to be distributed equally and evenly right? So ze doughnut cutting ceremony was done and feeding sessions included! =P


















And we have our tarrot sifu live performance! It was so exciting to see how she explained our future according to the cards. My cards was pretty interesting but I cant figure out who is who. Hmmmm. Hmmmm. Oh well, I have to wait for next month to make a closer guess then. Lalala.




And ya, this was Friday the 2nd and how I spent it. =))


I had deadlines to meet but I just couldnt be bothered.




Awesome weekend. ^^
