Annual trip to Penang.
To meet my best 3 ladies besties who stay 450km away from me.
This time i brought along my mom.
And i drove all the way up.
Free and easy ride.
Im really proud of myself.
I totally have confident going up and surviving the whole trip no doubt but having the idea and confidence doesnt means it could be carried out as just fine. This time around it was as smooth as planned. I was fetching my best friends from their house and sending them home etc. I even drove to island and over the iconic bridge no.1. Whoa! Muy perfecto!
Those who know me long n well enough know how much this journey means to me. Strangers have no idea and they dont matter anyway.
I tried my very best to seek an alternate driver friend who would wanna go up play as well. Too bad... i couldnt find one which to my advantage i got to fully drive around whole of penang and see penang much up close n personal.
Plus, i could giv full attention to my loveliest. This was what really matter. This was the whole trip was all about. Last time, it was Newtune/ukm which unite us but not everyone could make it to the NT function lately. So i create a need to go penang 1 year once so i could be the reason to gather them for my selfish lil needs. Last year unfortunately i couldnt make it. But they came to me during my bday instead. It was exactly one year since i last seen them.
This year alone none of us have got it easy. Family problem, relationship issues. Some is with bad working environment and money matters. Everyone was dealing with a lot of thing in our own and we havent been keeping close contact with each other.
This time i managed to come just in time for siewin bday (20th August). Arrived on the 19th and managed to meet everyone on the night itself at arnold cycling cafe. All the stressed 5 hours driving suddenly doesnt sucks at all. I was very tense cuz my mom wouldnt stop yanking at her passenger seat. Gosh.
Hooi ling got her new slimmed figure and her kawaii china doll haircut. Super cute... i am tempted to try it out myself. Im happie to see her less emo. She doesnt always get too emotional and the moment when she looks for me i knew she is not doing well alone.
Siew win is getting skinnier than ever. But she is more relax and calmer. She talks slower but more determined. I wasnt here when she most needed me but i hope she is aware of how much she means to me. I dont always willing to listen to any leo. She is the only leo that i listen to and be heard. The route dont come easy for you. Have faith babe. Rainbow is just around the corner. I shall see u there. If it doesnt, ill ensure one myself specifically for u.
Cake candle and flower.... okay la. I did well. Hopelessly romantic.
She doesnt need all these. But i just want her to have extra and more of the earth n heaven could offer and be reminded that ill be there for her as long as she need me. One way or another.
Joanne tan aka my ukm roomate
One cute babe i adored.
She is living the romeo n juliet love story and it is such a pain to see her go through it. But she knows what she wants and she will work on it. For that i respect her and i wish her all the best. I will see you through it dear. Dont lose hope.
All 3 of them means a lot to me. Without them Penang is nothing to me. All the fattening food the beach and the city are just complimentary products to me.
20th morning hooiling dated me for dim sum date.
We went to buy flower for siewin for her bday. It was coincidently a chinese valentine day too. So i presented one bouquet of roses to hooi ling too. All 3 of us love purple, are single and strong in personalities. So different but yet so similar... if you know what i mean.
Then we went to island to buy some biscuits n jalan jalan and i was introduced to a cake shop selling cakes...rm20 for a piece of cheese cake. All kind of exotic flavours. Special theme based cafe. Dark n lusty #moodycow
No batu ferringi beach walk. Sad... I was there at night with siewin on the 20th. Too bad the rain was pretty bad and it was late at night. Bad weather spoiled the journey. We had a full dinner at a famous food court.
Its good to be able to view Ferringi at night. If only there were stars and full moon n no rain. Not much visitation in island this time. Ive come to penang quite many times. So i wasnt looking towards to places visitation. I just wanna spend more time with them and it will be bonus if they choose to introduce me more new places.
Last night at Penang... 21st August.
Hooiling performs at Tao @ auto city.
As promised me n joanne went to participate the performance. Laymei is around too. I got to meet her for good after 4 years and then headed to supper @ BW.
Earlier in the day i managed to try the duck egg fried keow teow. God it was good. Wei quan said BM got one special one but it only starts at 9pm... time frame doesnt allow me to fit in the trip at night so i went visited BM at noon instead. Bumped to the big prayer for the 7th month festival.
I didnt know i miss laymei until i met her that night.
Glad to be able to sit down and really listen to her current condition. Happie that she has achieve so much and so much more offer that she could get.
You go girl. Support you all the way!
Thanks roomie for having me and accompanying me few nights. I have a soft spot for u always and i care dearly of you.
Next destination Epoh. Possibly just half day cuz im getting a bit too uneasy and home sick? And i dont think my mom can take it any longer...
ill come back for more for sure. Many road trip require similar passion's kinda person and if she isnt into the same idea then its a turn off.
But im proud of how my mom cope with the tiring trip. She did well. Thumbs up!
Nway... time to rest. :)
night dearest bff. Ill be emo missing each and everyone of you.
