the pictures!

saw this when we first arrived.

i finally admit that i see a slight resemblance.

which is nicer to look at, the scenery or us??

my baby gurl.

in my momma's sunnies.

near fort cornwallis.

the heat didn't get in the way for hyperness.

not for me though.

old houses, untouched.

now i understand.

the reason i study, is for your eyes to see and for you only.

gila.

have you ever bought something, and always smiled when you look at it?

i did.


its my INDIAN BANGLES that i bought from Penang 2 days ago.


it comes in millions, plastic, turquoise and gold, and all clinky when you shake it on your wrist.


the thing is, its glitter and beads will all fall out and i'm definitely not wearing it to an expensive restaurant with white tablecloth and all.


can you imagine what my date will say? 'erm, i think you accidentally wore salt and pepper shakers as accessories....and your spagghetti looks nice. and the tablecloth is decorated very nicely."


still, what do you get when you pay for only 3.90 right. but its oh so pretty...............


i'll post the pics, bangles and penang, real soon.

will post pics the next time:)

..............and i'm back. from penang. actuallytotellthetruth, from what my family told me about how awesome was their last trip while i'm off to BRATs camp, it didn't seem as rockout as i thought it would be. anyhoo, i'm feeling a little weighty around the legs, you know where that came from.


so. I am going to summarize my penang trip this year. it goes like this:

1. Penang people are sooooooo incredibly slow. they take their time walking/driving around like in no hurry. even when you honk/shout at them. i nearly lost my nerve at the pasar pagi. to heck with it, i think they wouldn't even jog if there were aliens invading the island.
2. Penang weather is crazy. there is barely a breeze around here. but what do you expect, its an island.
3. its cliched for food lovers when i say this: you can pirate-kan all the music and movies and clothes labels the hell you want, but. You. Simply. Cannot. Copy. Penang. Food. assuming unless you're a penangite opening a stall at kl, of course.
4. i keep getting confused between penang and melaka, since they're both malaysia's historical sites. still, national geographic says they're the worst kept sites in the world.
5. the only hokkein words i've learnt are kamsiah(thanks), jit uar (2 bowls), and zhap key (10 bucks). like that will help.
6. no more fried oyster in pj or kl. i'd had enough.
7. i had bought a present for someone and INDIAN BANGLES!!!!! you know, the ones that go ching-ching when you shake them on your wrists. you shall see me wear them when im feeling that indian exotic vibe.
8. if you are an impatient person, never live in penang. they have changed the roads to one way roads, so you might just find yourself go around the same place over and over again.
9. if you enjoy beautiful beaches, buy a house at Batu Ferringhi for the million dolar scenery. if you have enough money, of course.
10. there are no cute guys in penang. for sure. ):
11. been to this foodcourt where there's cute old looneys and farts dancing and miming along to the music.
12. best scene in penang(picture this): an old temple with joss sticks ablaze, buddhist chants aplaying, people apraying, pigeons aflying, and pigeons acoming back to eat rice on floor.
13. and finally, if you see a beca man, jump into his trishaw and go. they're all a dying profession here.

i thank God for my mommay, she's the best tourist guide around Penang, she has let me seen Penang's best moments. you should hire her man. she's a penangite, btw. oh, and she also added in a few personal experiences when describing the places we stopped by, like:D her crushing moments and all:) haih. my cute mummy.

so all and all, i can safely say that penang is good for a four day trip at least. guranteed if you don't eat the wrong food and pangsai, or get run over by uncaring motorcyclists.

are we there yet?? and are we there yet????

due to financial reasons, my amd my family are going penang by car. gosh, 3 hours. don't know how am i going to handle it. oh, and the heat, i nearly wished i could go there naked, because even wearing a bikini there can make you feel like you're in a sauna.

but, like all food-lovers out there, I MUST PERSIST!!!!!!!! (can i hear them all say amen??)

i would want to blog about it when i come back, but really, who wants to hear about penang? everyone's been there before right. ah, i know. i'm gonna start a FOOD BLOG right here. so if you just so happened to pass by my blog and happen to read my article about penang, expect pictures of:

1. steaming bowls of siam/lemak laksa, full of soup and tender noodles cooked to perfection.
2. piping hot char koay tiow, cockles, taugeh, eggs and all.
3. ROJAK!!! both chinese and indian style.
4. okay some of you guys may not like this: fried pig intestines porridge. for those of you who has a weak stomach, i shall stop here.
5. and to top it all up, a glass of refreshing barley limau ais to wash it all down. no other state does it better:D

and so, i'm done here. my stomach is having an aching desire to crawl to penang by itself.

the night i dreamt of him....

.......he was enthusiastically telling me God was gonna arrange my close friend as his wife. thank God it was just a dream.

okay. okay.

what yesterday, was.

erm first of all, thank youuuu xinwei, again, for your awesome efforts and results for the class page. our class page is going to ROCK. seriously. so, i hope your still feeling full from all 'ze amazing chilli's food. great recommendation. see how much fun and satisfaction you can get without him, right? jeez*roll eyes, shrugs*



and so. to summarize it all, Night At The Museum 2 is basically fun, lame in some parts, quite funny, and it would have made my day if it weren't the friggin' JoBro, fountain cherub version, singing Titanic and Lovebug and all with the harp instead of the guitar. and again, jeez! but i'd actually watch the next sequel, if you don't mind. and after the movie and chilli's, we all were very much BLOATED, thank you very much. but seriously i wanted to hug the founder of chilli's for coming up of REFILLABLE CHIPS WITH BEEF&CHEESE SAUCE. and, i had country-fried chicken somemore and my lunch could have been close to perfect if i wasn't stingy to order a magarita.



oh, and there was this part where only sun's and my orders haven't arrived yet. so when the waiter brought our food, no one, including him, had expected a girl to order country fried chicken and a guy to order grilled chicken salad! turns out sun was saving space for his stomach, hehs:) and when we took our orders, there was this waiter named Brandon, and there was a Brandon character in the movie before too; and started goofing around, doing the meanest thing: laughing at someone's name. ('its "Brundon", not Brandon')



oh! and happy happy joy joy. i finished a whole corn in a cob without the corn getting stuck in my teeth! and happy to say, how can such a simple vegetable with sprinkles of pepper and salt be so heavenly?



and when i got home, i got sooooo tired i told myself i didn't want to go out this week. turns out today i'm complaining to myself that i want to go out right now. therefore, i'm planning, i'm planning. especially when someone's birthday is right around the corner.....

hmmph. now that xinwei has a fedora, i want one too:D
