A brief summary of my trip to Penang with dad, mum & Vince.. accompanied by pictures for better description... *wink*



White curry laksa @ Kwan Nam Restaurant, Butterworth Seberang Perai (recommended by Ho Chiak!). After mixing the sambal, it will be the ordinary looking laksa. Doesn't taste extraordinary though. It's popular just because of the santan base soup before it mixes with the curry sambal.



Tua-ee posing as an angle - very angelic indeed~


And this is my angel.. Venessa! Spent most of my time at Penang with her. Can't get enough of her charm, smile, laughter, and of course, her curiosity on everything! She also have the same birthday as me, and the same Chinese zodiac too. She came 2 cycle after me. I want a baby that look just like her~

Ketam bakar (baked crab) at Tanjung Tokong, Penang.
RM80 for 2 kilos, expensive but yummy yummy.



Me slurping down on coconut flesh... so fresh.. nice to go with the ketam bakar. This place is well known for ketam bakar, it was destroyed during the tsunami. Was re-built again and business is on-going as usual.






I went on "wahh wahhh wahhhhhh...." like jungle turtle when I saw the whole farm! All the dragon fruits are ripe and just waiting to be plucked~ The red colored fruits looked so outstanding hanging on the greenish plant.






This is just 0.5% of the whole farm's dragon fruits! The farm is HUGE!!! Anyone interested to get some dragon fruits, it's located at Juru, Butterworth.






I took a few bite before I take a picture of it. So sweeeetttttt~ Unlike the normal dragon fruits, it's usually tasteless and people eat it just because it's benefitial for health. This is really sweet!

Recently I've heard that honey + cinnamon powder is a fast remedy for weight loss! I then google up and read a forum http://www.weight-loss-advisor.com/blog/2006/05/01/honey-and-cinnamon-for-weight-loss/ that some of them who tried, gained weight instead of losing it!


I've bought honey and cinnamon powder yesterday, tried a cup, taste OK. Don't know if I should continue. I'm not overweight or anything. In fact, I just qualified myself for the weight required for donating blood! Just that many commented that I put on weight and I looked 'nicer' (ya rite...). I wana lose that extra pounds. Exercise is not my thing at all. So I might as well try this.. despite the risk of becoming more "prosperous".


For those interested, may try this:-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Boil 1 cup of water with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
2) Let it cool down for 30 minutes and then add in 1 tablespoon of honey
3) Filter it and divide it into 2 cups
4) Half cup to be taken 1/2hr before breakfast in the morning (empty stomach) and another half cup to be taken 1 1/2hr before sleeping at night

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Also heard that honey + lemon is good for skin. Might be good for my skin allergies too. The dust in my 4mths unoccupied room at Setapak makes my whole body itch! I got so irritated that I cry just because I can't stop scratching myself! All those Brenovate, Dermovate, Forban, whatever cream I use is useless! What works for others, obviously doesn't work on me! Am giving up hope in recovery. Was hoping that this natural remedy can at least minimize the itch. This honey lemon drink should be taken in the morning, empty stomach. Am just afraid that lemon is bad for my gastric.

Let me see.. what's worth blogging here?


First - Fei car broke down on Thursday. Luckily we almost reached his site, and we made the car go all the way to his site (with asap coming out all da way). Since his car couldn't go any further, me and Vince walked to MidValley from his site - takes around 15 minutes. MV looked far, but when walking, its not bad actually. Considered a good morning walk, at da same time paktoh with Vince. :P


Second - I watched Iron Man for the SECOND time. I'm still excited though, but at least I don't get terkejut on certain part already. Ngek ngek ngek.. And this time Vince told me that there's a short clip after the title list. So after the movie, we waited 5 minutes for all those big names to appear - from cast to props people, driver, ta pao people, clearner etc. Then there's a clip that start to mention about the coming of Avenger. Overall, Iron Man is a good to watch movie. Second time is okay, but third time would be too much.


Third - Went for dinner at Sushi Zen. Tried Unagi and Grilled Salmon (with teriyaki sauce). I would rate the overall set a 7.5 only. The salmon is kinda thin and a littleb it over cooked. The unagi... hmm... as much as I love unagi, but the bones.. hmmm...


Fourth - First time we get to have 'family gathering' twice in a day. Had dim sum breakfast with 1ko and 3ko, and steamboat dinner with 1ko, 2ko and sis, on the same day. Won't feel bored makan with them, coz it's always be full of laughter (mostly when all of them gang up to bully and tease me), so it's them who are laughing. And when i tembak them back, me alone laughing. Proud or pathetic? Hahaha~


Hahahaha~ you made me giggle for a while there!


Fifth - I'm at Penang now! Butterworth to be exact. With uncles and aunties all around at my grandma house, it's as merry as usual! It has been eating program since I got here. Hopefully when Vince join me here tomorrow, we'll get to have some water activities at Penang.


Guess that is all. Ciao~


Duhhh.. 1kg loss but yet many commented that I looked more "prosperous"??!!!
Gosh.. Weight is always the fear factor.. it is! Time to eat less- exercise more (if I can get myself started).

It is a so-so day today, but still feeling the thrill of thinking that 2 days more I can sleep as long as I want! Zzzz...


Aahhh... life is GREAT!

Just had lunch with Vince, Fei and Suzanne at All Star. For our 'kecik kecik miau' salary, the menu definitely gave us a shock, especially the price column. We kind of expected it, but still, doesn't mean we won't feel shock when the figure is right infront of our eyes. Had 'Lunch Special' instead. There are a few dishes that's cheaper. So ya, we ordered that. As usual, I can't resist tomyam, Vince ordered pasta with salmon, and Fei settled on chicken breast.


My seafood tomyam wasn't nice - not spicy at all - so it's not tomyam - there's only 1 small prawn with few pieces of sotong and artificial crab meat - menu mentioned prawnS and fish (but it's not there) - so it's definitely not seafood tomyam.. it was abit better than BAD. Vince pasta was OKAY. In fact, he commented that it's NOT BAD, KIND OF NICE. But me, a picky food eater, would comment that the cream sauce is nice, too bad it has covered the taste of salmon. Fei's breast *woopss* chicken breast, is half raw! It looked like the chef wasn't that patient afterall, to wait for a piece of chicken to cook! So we requested for a new one - Fei said the dish was OKAY.


So I've tried a new place, but wasn't so pleased with it.


On another matter, recently I've been complaining about being scared and anxious when it comes to thinking about my future. Graduation is in 8mths time. So, what's next? To get my Degree at UK? Or to migrate to Australia for a better environment (at least the crime rate is WAAYYYY lesser than in Malaysia). Or just to stay at Malaysia and go through many donkey years like everyone else?


Vince too have a sudden change of 'draft future plan' when he got offered to SIA as a Flight Attendant. Fei too blog about his future because he's kind of confused about what he really like/want to do for living. And during lunch just now, Suzanne said she's stress when comes to think about her insecure future. In this stage of life, we will come into a junction, and we'll think ALOT to turn RIGHT or LEFT? So in which stage that we will STOP worrying about our future? When we lie in our coffin? No.. then our souls will still worry if we're going to end up in HELL or HEAVEN????

This is my first blog in Blogspot (duh.. obviously). And unfortunately, this is just my trial blog. Wanted to see how much attention I can get from it, before deciding if I want to continue with it. I can say that I was pretty satisfied with my Xanga blog. Having no reader at all, it act like a personal diary that I could speak my mind. For Blogspot of course, there are things that need filtering uh? For example, I cannot say "I HATE VINCE" here. Hahaha~


Lets start with today. It was supposed to be a blue Monday was usual. But there are 2 major factor that changed the color to COLORFUL MONDAY~

First, THIS IS MY LAST WEEK OF INTERNSHIP! HIP HIP HORRAY! HIP HIP HORRAY!


I don't mean to be over reacted, but I'm just so HAPPPYYYYYYYyyyyy!!!

Secondly, it's because no one is here to point me around in the office! I'm so so so so free!!! Haha.. everyone else in the office has gone for company annual trip at 'Bang-cock' and leaving only me and another intern, with 3 more staffs who are new and is not eligible for the trip. And which who didn't turn up in the office at all, since Friday, and some came for like 3-4 hrs and realised that they have got nothing to do since others is not around, so they blah. So I'm pretty relaxed. In fact, I'm so relaxed that I'm bored to death!


It makes me wonder, when they were here, I complained of the work load and just can't wait for them to go for the annual trip. And when they do, I complained that I'm bored? I'm confused. But that's human eh? They are never satisfied with what they wish for. But I'm still very HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY that I'm alone doing nothing in the office. I can surf the web, clear all my mails, my Facebook request (which I have 350 more to ignore!), and of course, blogggg...ingggg...!

I had a good lunch with good old Vince today. We went downstairs for Manhattan. Costly, but well, once awhile is okay la, uh? The bill cost both of our 3days salary! Maklumlah.. our salary as Intern is so "kecik kecik miau".






Well, ciao for now.. I'm so cold that I have brain freeze!
