a little bit of everything...

this post should be dated august 30th to sept 1st which means it's a delayed one..lol..well i'm just gonna post about what happened within that 3 days..i went to penang for holiday since it was a long weekend..not that long actually..but that morning was convent's speech day and co-curricular day and i was invited to attend that prize giving ceremony..it's held for the second time for some reasons ( if i were to mention it..this will be really long..lol..)

anyway, it's the worst prize giving ceremony EVER! the moment i reached school..i thought i was late but as i walked to the hall..i saw many people queueing up to collect their certificate and prize (money)..i was so lost and confused and didn't know what to do..some teachers were there to guide but isn't it weird to get our money and cert first outside??and inside the hall, we just had to wait to be called, walk up and receive a so called cert and the funny thing is, when i walked down the stairs, a girl at the door put her hand out and said "sijil, sijil"...i was like, huh??? then i gave her back the fake cert..everything was so fake and badly organised..it's as though they held it for the sake of having it only because they already had the most grand one a month ago..it's seriously the lousiest prize giving ceremony ever but what matters most is i still got my money..lol..

it's a good thing it ended early cause we were going to penang (my family and i)..our first destination was the queensbay mall..walk walk and walk..then we checked in to sandy bay paradise hotel and had buffet dinner there for FREE...hehe..but i would prefer to have hawker food though..



i saw the beijing olympic mascot, huan huan for sale in living cabin i think..i forgot the price but it's just so expensive because it's too adorable?lol..since i can't afford to buy it, i captured a picture of it..

next day, we went to prangin mall..we went for lunch in a coffee shop inside the mall and we saw this weird man who shaved his head bald with stripes of hair (i don't know what style you call that) and then put some red dye on every stripe...5 circle spots of hair behind symbolizing olympics? and he wore a malaysia flag walking around, all of a sudden whistle and shout "merdeka!"he freaked me out a little when he did that a few times and we found out that he's the boss of that place...gosh..so patriotic??? i really wanted to snap a picture of him but had no guts to do it though i think he'll be glad to let me have a picture of him..haha..

then we went to gurney plaza in the evening..walked around a while..in search for nick chung's latest album with poster (because most places do not have the poster ) yet i failed to find it..(more about it later)..so we walked to the hawker stalls outside to hunt for food..here's what we had :


my favourite penang char kueh teow and laksa..chee cheong fan with shrimp paste and "lo bak gou"...YUMMY....how i LOVE penang food..!!'

we walked back to gurney plaza after that and i found out from a poster that evan cai min you, a chinese singer was coming at 7pm..not really a fan of him but wanted to see him perform live anyway cause i used to like his songs..not so into his songs all because i'm so outdated with the latest music now..here are 2 pictures taken before it started ( as an appetizer )


the crowd!!afresto area i think..near starbucks coffee...


higher view of the crowd...will post more pictures and videos about the event in a separate post..

not long after the promo event ended, we headed back to hotel as everyone was already too tired except for me cause i really like walking in shopping complexes be it only window shop, i don't mind =)

went to the beach after resting int he hotel a while..it's the first time i really walked along the beach at nighcause i'm usually afraid of the high tide..well doing it does give me peace...like no worries..just feel the sand under my feet and sound of the waves hitting the shore softly..too bad no pictures of it..

back in the room, i tried to capture a night view from the balcony and here's the outcome:


yeah yeah...i know, i'm a poor photographer..wrong mode wrong settings so this is it..haha


better???much better!!this one's captured by my brother..yeah yeah i know, he's a much better photographer than i am..lol..nevermind, i'm still learning...now i know..hehe..

the next day, we checked out and went to penang road for lunch..the famous coffee shop with the famous cendol stall outside..haven't been there for some time already..before going back, we stopped by at sunway carnival mall in butterworth..it's still very new so there's nothing much there yet but if you wanna shop for clothes, i think it's not bad though since the big sales was on..


on the way back..this banner caught our attention..taken from inside the car..raindrops on the window..ok ok back to the banner..if you notice, this banner was hung upside down on purpose because the website is in the correct direction..probably this is the reason why they did it..to catch people's attention!! lol..how people find ways to draw attention to gain more business...

so, that's the end of the penang trip..oh well, it's partially fun and partially not so fun due to several reasons and mainly because i was without my all time shopping companion =( no need to mention who that person is..she knows, i know..hehe..but at least i got to buy 2 pairs of body glove pants at a really low price from the stock clearance sales..wheee....!!!

i think this trip is really lack of pictures probably cause penang is a place where i go quite often so there's nothing much to snap..

p/s. i overslept on both days after coming back from penang cause i was still on holiday mood and i was really tired and lazy to go for class..new timetable's out which means new paper starting and i wont have as much free time anymore =( and i seriously need to prepare myself for the upcoming unknown date exam..sorry for all the spelling error..i'm sleepy!!

guess that's all for now..till then!!!

(i tried my best to keep this short...sorry, it's still long..)
