Penang oh! Penang

Being a few days away from the blogging world was quite a challenge. I had so many things on my mind that I wanted to talk about and by the time I was in front of my laptop.. all went ‘ppooofftttt’! Gone…. And my mind now is BLANK… as blank as a piece of new A4 paper …

*thinking mode*
full of ideas...... then...

We were in Penang last weekend; we left KL on Friday morning and came back on Sunday. It was an unplanned, last minute & short getaway... as usual.

Our usual holiday was normally on X’mas week because of Naqeeb’s bday and our anniversary. This year, something else was planned during that period and we obediently gave in …. for reasons God knows why… although we know that the destination was not something that we would want to take the kids. That being said, we went along anyway & things don’t go as planned eventually… hahhaha… what a waste!

Anyway, we made a short trip to Penang for the kids to enjoy themselves…. and fun was all they had!

hahahah.... we had fun too! I was trying to make him lose his focus... and i failed! Deng!

Yes..... SIFU in action.... hahahaha

Lone Pine is a GREAT hotel. Recommended by Jumie, I really lurrve this place and I will vote this second, after Hard Rock. If you like a quiet place to rest and enjoy the surrounding, this is the right hotel for you. If you like fun and music, Hard Rock it is!

A small wading pool in the room, by the balcony... wonderful eh? Naqeeb dah book dah tempat dia...

The best pool....

Swim and swim and swim… that’s all we did… of course Nasreen preferred to sit by the pool and did her ‘thang’, whatever that was….

the food was fantastic too.....

Night market along Feringhi Beach.. just in front of the hotel...

On Saturday we had our lunch at Line Clear. I just have to try that warung because of the hype it created. Upon reaching the place… my jaw dropped. Not what I expected…. at all! Though it was such a turn off for me, we queued for the food anyway, since we spent more than an hour on the road trying to get to this place (thanks to Penang traffic, which is worse than KL on weekdays!!!!).

Getting there - Patience needed because traffic in Penang sucks… BIG TIME!

Food - OK lar… I dunno why people keep coming here…still think Devi’s has the best Indian food so far

Service - fast but the queue, my gawd, was killing me

Cleanliness - Speechless…… this you must see it for yourself

While in Penang, Nik took the opportunity to visit his bike shops, Guan How in Juru and David Choo in Butterworth. Of course, this put him on his ‘angan-angan’ mode till today… hahahha

Journey back... view was spectacular!

Memang ada plan nak buat monorail tapi tiba tiba Penang dapat bandaraya Unesco la apa la...so susah la nak buat apa apa....

public trans kat penang memang serrrrrrrrrrr....harap rapid penang tu saja yang bawak macam gengster. jalan kat penang pulak semua kecik kecik.

Penang adalah destinasi pilihan pertama orang orang KL/Kedah/Ipoh kalau nak bercuti. Kalau musim cuti sekolah tiba-tiba Penang penuh dengan kereta dengan no plet bukan P. :)

To Be or Not To Be

Deadlines were over…. Yesterday was my last day here…. And today marks a whole new beginning of my career life here….. I could be wrong or I could be right for making this decision… but I’ve made up my mind to take up the challenges, nonetheless. I know I’m subjecting myself to a lot of hardwork as well as criticism, scrutiny and observation from the rest……. and time definitely has to be compromised. But being a risk taker…. I am, I know I just have to pull myself together and face the obstacles - one at a time. It’s too late to undo things anyway and the best thing to do is to be positive. Both legs are in and it’s time to march towards the horizon with pride and dignity. Only time can answer the doubts that I have in me now… meanwhile, I need all the luck that I can have.

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks).

Antara Anyir & Jakarta

I’ve been making regular monthly trips to KLIA since my husband was posted to Jakarta last year. And yesterday….. again, I made my ‘latest trip’ there to send him off (after the recent trip that I had on 3/3/06 when I picked him up from KLIA to spend his 10 solid-days holiday with me and the kids here in KL). Time sure flew fast when you wished for the earth to stop and let you enjoy your 10 days just a little bit longer. Nevertheless, the ‘most awaited 10-days’ was over…..Nik is now back in Jakarta and I’m now back in my office, sitting in my chair, swiveling around every 10 minutes, gazing lazily at the workload dumped on my desk and trying very hard to find every energy stored in my body just to touch those piles of paper…. argh! But the 10-days period was spent joyfully. We took the weekend off last week for a quickie getaway at Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa…. and oh boy! the resort is spectacular and the view is breathtakingly-beautiful. Of course, the children were the happies
