7th October 2010
Not exactly the nicest picture to start off with, but given the condition I've been in for the last 2 days, I'll make do with just about anything.So, Michelle slept over at my place the night before we left for Penang. Left the house around 8 in the morning. Although I don't show it well, I'm very grateful that my dad cares enough to send the both of us there.
Made a short stop at the Ipoh rest stop. Ma goodness it's like the nicest rest stop ever.
Ketupat-! Lol jakun sial.
Cafeteria.
The father then bought sweetcorn for us before leaving. What made this jagung outstanding is that it was swimming in half a cup of butter mmmmmmm yumms.
Yesh, the father exceeded the speed limit by 41km. Pastilah kena saman kan. He then proceeded to do what any true Malaysian would've done given the situation, he bribed the police officer.
Grr are we there et?y! Alas, after 3 and a half hours...
Hey, whats that we see up ahead? *squints eyes*
We've finally reached Penang-!
Don't play play with me can?! Ma grandfather's plaza okay-!
Made a short stop to buy tau sah beng for the mother and Michelle and I. But before that we had Penang char kuey teow for lunch which had 3 giganto prawns and shredded crab met mmm nomnomnom.
Took a short nap at Gurney Hotel because the father was staying there for the night. We then left for Batu Feringghi at 4pm.
Strolled and sampat'ed around the hotel for a little while before we had to meet or training manager, Wong, at 7pm. But even after that it was still too early so...
Heh heh we ate some more-! Mee rebus this time. One thing that I've discovered about Penang so far is that their "teh ping" is super diabetically sweet-! It's as though they're trying to kill us by overdosing us with sugar -.- And I don't know why but I'm thinking of Andrea right now lol.
You know you love us xoxo harhar.
Mich and I met up with Wong first before the others arrived. Turns out he's a really young fellow lol. He showed us around the operational part of the hotel after almost 1 and a half our of briefing. Then he brought us to our hostel. Be warned people, before I show you the awesomeness of our hostel.
Oops, these are the only 2 pictures I took of the "before" effect. And my camera doesn't do justice to the hostel pictures because it is seriously much much much worse like fuck my life.
Went to dinner with my dad and had a heart to heart talk with him about my current living quarters and about my future job. I'm not gonna deny, I had a shock and a momentarily mental lapse when I moved into the hostel because... I dunno. Lets just say I've never really appreciated what I had at home until now.
And I'd super super super like to thank Wen Yi, Wei Mae and Derek for teman'ing me during parts of the night. Please know that I love y'all kay =)

Had breakfast at the food court below our condo. Harhar yes char kuey teow again. Went to buy toilet scrubs and getah slippers and anything else that we needed to disinfect our hostel.
Yay it's clean-! Sort of anyways. Not to be braggy or anything, but I think my camera's too good because it makes our hostel look so clean, homey and posh WHEN ITS NOT. And I've only used toilet once so far. Have been using Mich's boyf house toilet harhar thank you Seng Kin-!
Kitchen. We've managed to fill 2 garbage bags. Imagine that.
{ pic. of timmy the dirty toilet will be uploaded next time perhaps coz mich's laptop is being a bitch }
Mich's pride and glory AHAHAHAHA because that poor soul had to clean the toilet.
Mine and Mich's room. Bleh boleh tahan laa now.
View from the balcony. Loads of things to eat near our place man. Bad sign...
Took a bus to Gurney Plaza after that because Renee wanted to do some shopping... Heck we all did laa. But I promise I kept my spending to a minimum =) Mich's controlling me, unfortunately.
Renee far left. Seng Kin aka si bao bei on top. Ching Fang far right. We're all from Taylor's woo-!
Kay fine all my housemates are from Taylor's and we're very multicultural. Cina dari China pun ada, dari Indon pun ada dan dari America pun ada.
Super love my housemates btw. Except for 3 other whom I'm not very close with, seniors marh.
Finally got to watch Wall Street after decades of waiting since March. I still remember that I initially planned to watch it with Joanne Chee but owh well. And on a totally unrelated not, I want a hello kitty cover for my phone but they only have it for Blackberry =( Kay bimbo moment over.
Wan tan mee and dumpling soup for dinner at Gurney Drive. In conclusion, I think that this experience is doing me good. It has really slapped me in the face because life, really is unpredictable. But I'm gonna try my best now and strive harder. I'll get used to it soon. Gonna start work on Monday ooo Front Office first cant wait. Till next time =)
