Note: Rin's becoming a little egoistical lately. Thanks to the influence of certain people.
Okay. Roll up of what happened in the past few days.
Last Week of School (Last Monday to Sunday):
I screwed up. I screwed up so much shit that it's beyond my words. I screwed up Design. I screwed up Pop-Art. I even screwed up Li Wen's Mag Cover. Heck, the only thing that I DIDN'T SCREW UP THAT WEEK was Communications Skill, History of Art and Design, Malaysian Studies, Figures 1 and Drawing 1. Which is prettty pathethic (And now, I think I know which course I'm headed). To be honest, I was kinda relieved to end school that day. And I spent the rest of the week planning what to make for lunch on Monday, who's coming, what time, venue.... Gah, I'm always rushing when it comes to things like this. But I did relaxed on Sunday (I'm glad I did) but I was bored dead.
Why, you ask?
Because MY TV EXPLODED ON THURSDAY.
Yesh. Exploded. Not too dramatically, but silent kill.
Like a sniper shot in the head.
So, in the end, we had to send it for repair.
So you could guess what I practically bored myself to death with on Saturday and Sunday nights.
Monday, 11/12
We had our little gathering which not many came. Marissa moved closer to my place, in Kemuning Hills, so wheee~~<3 The Doritis Group just got bigger 8D We had lunch at my place, which sadly, our main guest, Pn Chan, didn't turn up because her baby fell ill. Can't blame her though. So we spent the evening, playing Katamari (YES, KATAMARI) and watching Eva play Kingdom Hearts. Went out for din-din with Eric, Eva and Carmen and stayed over at Eva's place. All this take place within one day.
But I learned so much from my friends.
That no matter how far we are now, we're still together as long as we still KEEP IN TOUCH.
But I love you guys altogether. That's why I keep contacting you guys and hosting all these gatherings.
My telephone bill is rising up like mad and my mum's been screaming at me.
But who wipes? =) So as long as we all are still in this together.
Tuesday, 12/12
We basically set off for Penang at 10am.
And I must tell you, ..... THE JOURNEY IS EXCRUCIATINGLY..... LOOONG
The bus.... took nearly 3 hours in Perak. ZOMG, it was sooo freaking loooong.
The feller stop at Slim River, then Ipoh, then Taiping, then after that (Not Perak) Butterworth.
ZOMG, I've never felt so excruciated my whole life.
But the trip was fun.
Except the part of the little kiddie behind my seat playing Pokemon loudly and kept kickin' my chair.
But the view of Penang Bridge was stunning. I keep recalling my childhood memories.
Went to Eva's Grandma's place and YES! I WATCHED MY FUSHIYI YUUGI! (Not that it's relevant)
*cough* We had dinner with her family and I can tell you.
I've never tasted any fish fresher.... than in northenr States. Especially Penang.
The food was good and yesh, I was being hyper after Liong Cha again.
Incident of helmet running around during HC's class comes back into play.
.....
ANNNNNNYWAY, we hopped over to the new mall, Queensbay Mall in Penang recently opened.
To be honest, the place looks kinda prosperous. Especially since it has a lot of good stores.
Namely BORDERS
(Yes, I know. ME AND MY BORDERS!!! XD)
But heck yeah, I bought 2 Loveless book for only RM40. Who wouldn't be happy? XD
I bought a few shiny beads, hoping to make a few accessories.
I really like the blood red shiny beads, so I bought 3. I might give it to Michelle if it's nice.
She's really so goth-y, it fits.
Besides, I never keep nice stuff to myself. (I'm bound to lose them)
.... Unless it's Loveless.
And we went to the Carnival in Penang.
I tell you, it was RAINING.
And what we did when it was raining?
We sat on the rollercoaster.
We sat on the god-knows-spinning thing which the saftey belts aren't THAT safe at all and I think I could feel myself flying.
Sat on the Ferris Wheel, and we stood.
Then we got ourselves cheated from some Lucky Number game because the Kuma-chan was just too adorable.
In the end, we came home restless, and slept.
Tuesday, 13/12
We woke up at 12pm noon, cause God knows what time we slept that night.
Headed for Cititel Hotel that noon, and god, did you know how much trouble it was just to get a room?
But in any case, it was settled and we decided to hit for Swatow Lane for lunch.
The problem was: We got lost. So we asked for directions.
Which was a bad plan.
We asked this uncle. He told us this way.
We asked this aunty, she told us that way.
We asked another aunty, she told us the other way.
We asked my Dad in KL, and he told us to go to Sheraton Hotel and Penang Plaza.
But we had NO IDEA WHERE.
So, there we were, in the middle of 3.15pm, under the hot sun, lost in the middle of nowhere, looking for Swatow Lane but have no idea where to start. Not to mention, starving to death.
Then, it was as if God heard our prayers. He sent us a saviour.
He sent us a Trishaw Driver.
And we were in luck. This Kong Kong was willing to take us all the way to Penang Plaza.
So we took a ride there, and like a kid, I found Swatow Lane.
'cept that it's 3.30pm, everyone's closing their stalls already and there was little left.
No worries, there was still the old lady who sold my fave Tanghun Soup. And I was overjoyed.
*** Tanghun Soup is actually a dish with thin, transparent vermicelli with peppery soup and fishballs. Added with a little bread we call Eu Char Kuay.
Even had two bowls (What did you expect? I woke up, drank a bottle of 100 Plus and left for the town)
By 5, our rooms were ready so we took a bath and left for Gurney on Taxi.
Went to Anjung Gurney and had a few dishes. I tell you, the muaci was so succulent....
.... I nearly died. XD
*** Muaci is a dish with sticky, gummy dough added with finely crushed nuts, sesame seed and a little sugar
We walked around Gurney Drive, and we flew tiny kites (Will show you all pics when I get back)
Rain came, so we ran into Gurney Plaza, to see some dude call Kenji performing.
.... It was not gay. It was ghei.
We ran back to Gurney Drive and walked all the way until we reached the end. Then we decided to try catching a cab while walking on our way back, which eventually, we gave up, 'cause all the cabs practically ignored our existence or they couldn't see us three in the dark, or they thought I was some monk waving some yellow kite in the air leading two disciples on their night walk.
But it was good. We walked all the way from Gurney Drive to Cititel Hotel.
Mind you, it was far. We had to pass Gleneagles, then pass Sheraton Hotel, then pass Komtar....
In other words, we walked all the way from Gurney to Penang Road.
Approximately, a 30 minute walk.
But you know what I liked best about the walk?
When we were staring in the sea, and it was calm.
Anyway I got to go.
Will tell you tales later.
I'm being watched.
=D HEHE.
Toodle-oo~
