Back to Malacca... home away from home.

I left Penang on a Saturday. I could not sleep that morning. Woke up around 6 a.m. to watch some tv on Astro. Last minute catching up on my Astro. Miss Astro lah. Mostly the Travel & Adventure channel. I dun have the budget to go on expensive holidays but by watching I get to see so many things. My dad was wondering why I couldn't sleep and kept reminding me of the drive back to KL. That morning I sempat to eat my Koay Teow Th'ng before leaving the house at 11 a.m. Miss my doggies and the ambience of home in Pulau Tikus. Great little place in Penang that I call home!

I supposedly convoyed back with my aunt but she over-took me at the tolls coz she pandai2 got Smart-Tag. Boohoo! Ok I dun have one. Had to queue up to get ticket and also to pay toll. To me I hardly travel so why debit valuable money into a card for Smart-Tag when I can use the money daily to buy food, credit, petrol etc. Heheh! The queues were long but smooth lah. Compliments to staff members of PLUS! Great work guys!

Went to my couz place at Tmn. Tun and stayed there till Monday morning. On Sunday I was invited to Nurul's house in Puchong. She has really a nice house and not forgetting a very nice family. Some people are really blessed! Nurul was happy lah to see me of course! Hahah! =P Makan2 at her house before we went hang out though it was raining heavy and hate driving in rain because of the added risk of u know what. It's proven! We went to O.U. as Nurul told me and not 1-Utama like people like me from outstation call it. So I was corrected there in addressing a shopping complex! Thanks!

We went to watch Salon. Tengku Farah has beauty for a 17 year old girl. She looks mature. But that's acting. Wonder what she's like in real life? None the less, she acted well and it was a nice movie. Nurul kept asking me,"Trevor r u bored?". I was like "No". It was interesting. Then we got hungry and as promise took the sweet girl to Chilis. I was shocked at the menu. I thought the prices were astronomical but I was wrong. Rather reasonable though I know Char Koay Teow at Burmah Road Penang only cost Rm3. But it was a good experience for me. Nice atmosphere and the food was not bad. I find that TGI Fridays was a little more pricey coz Nurul and I have been there before. But the food was nicer lah I feel at TGI. By the way, we were so stuffed at Chilis that Nurul suggested we better start walking before we fall asleep at the table. I felt much better and I am sure she did. I think it was a great outing. Agree Nurul?

As planned, Monday morning I left for Malacca. Traffic was good and kept to the speed limit. I came back early to do some revision lah. No I am not kiasu just trying to recall things I learnt in early years at MMU. Also to tidy my room. Thank God my housemates are here and added to pleasure of returning home. Sure miss Penang mah. Who wouldn't? Not many people around just some friends like Alfian, Andrea, Jahar and Aini. Not forgetting Andrea's 7 year old sister Avaline who is down on holidays! Exposing the truth of what young adults do in Malacca especially our click! Hahah! Watched Anak Mami Kembali since I felt like watching a simple movie and besides it was a Penang movie! It was fun and the theater was quite full mind u. I remember my mom saying that Pe ( an actor in the movie) use to work in Esso Pulau Tikus pumping gas. His talent was caught by someone and that's the beginning of his acting career. No more pumping gas in Esso. I never see him in Penang I dunno why.

I wish all my friends a happy return to Malacca. Nurfadzlin just told me how much she misses Malacca but most importantly what we all miss is the FREEDOM! Haha! See u all soon. Good luck to my SPM friends!

Selamat Hari Raya!

Wow... the month of Ramadhan is over. So fast 1 month. I admit I did 'puasa' on somedays. It was a rather interesting experience of controlling temptations for thirst and pleasure. Nurul really inspired me to do so. She's a great mentor. Thanks dear! I would like to wish all my Muslim friends 'Selamat Hari Raya'. Party on!!!

Hari Raya would be in Penang for me this year. Probably I will go to my uncle's house as he celebrates Hari Raya in Sri Nibong, Penang. I've been going there since I was a little Trevor. I did miss a few years when I was in KL or Malacca these few years. He serves great serunding! I remember when I was young my mom taught me about Malay culture. What to do and what not to do. I although small accepted what she taught me. My mom is from Kedah and use to work in the Kampungs back then long before I was born. She told me when she had to leave for Penang, the kampung people gave her a big 'kenduri' in appreciation for what she did. So that's why she knows a lot about Malay culture. It's great in being a Malaysian and knowing about the different cultures that are in Malaysia.

This Saturday I head back to KL. I convoy with my parents and my aunt. But, my parents will follow us to Taiping then the rest continue to KL. They are attending a wedding in Taiping. Hope to go hang out at my couz place at TTDI. Long time never see them d. When I was doing my practical I see them almost every other day. Heheh! Sunday plan to go to KLCC with Nurul. Ah, just wanna lepak and chill out! Hmmm... if time permits we shall check out the new aquarium in KLCC. I heard Nurul mention it's around RM 25 which is a lot. Not sure though if going. I would really want to go to IKEA with my bestfriend Gan but I think cannot this time as I leave for Malacca on Monday. He needs new stuff for his new place in Kajang. Next time yeah mate!

I shall do some research on my FYP during the week I am there in Malacca. Just brush up on some programming lah as I lost touch of some techniques. Not to say I terror but just wanna put it in a satisfactory order. Khalil should be back on Thurs. We could check out the project together. He and Wan Foo are my groupmates for the project.

My trip to Penang was great. Got to catch up with most of my friends. Sorry to my friends and cousins who will be sitting for SPM as I could not meet up with u all. I see u all next time I get back aight? By the way, Gooo Luck to all of you for SPM !!! I went to almost all the places I love to go. Kek Lok Si, Botanical Gardens, Gurney Plaza, Esplanade etc. It was great going out with friends. Not for getting meeting those 'bapuks' in Chulia Street. Hahah! Important thing is I had fun!!!!

I wish all my friends happy holidays during the remainding days of our treasured holidays! Best of luck for the new trimester.
