Vacay: Part 3, Tanned!

Most of the time of my vacation, I spent on the beach. Everyday, from 9am till 4pm. Yes, yes, afternoon sun is not good for the skin, yada, yada, but dude, I'm on a mission here!

*inhale Naomi Campbell, exhale Tyra Banks*

As much as I hate hot weather, and sweating, and life without aircond, I have gots to be the man and embrace the sun.heh.

Woke up at 7am everyday, excited for breakfast (most important and favourite meal of the day!) nothing more welcoming than the smell of Nasi Lemak when you get out of the lift. Oh, also how the Japanese spent 10 minutes bowing to each other before eating (one of the lady, who was probably 87 y/o, had white and purple streaked hair.So.Freaking.Cool).

......ah, breakfast with a spectacular view. Until a bunch of hairy indian men in hot pants came into the picture and played volleyball.Sexy.

So head to the beach after, sit under the sun, and let nature take over.

There was this building by the beach. It bothered me, because I think its crooked, and might fall on my face. Is it crooked?

Now, two days of direct sunlight and a bottle of tanning oil later..

Not much difference, really. I had tanlines (applause!), for about 2 seconds. Went to sleep. Woke up, and gone!

*bangs head on the wall*

I think I have sun-proof skin.

Vacay: Part 2, Food

*warning : if you are fasting, or on a diet, I advise you to step away.*

What is Penang most famous with?? Food right?

*drool*

Ok, lets start with Nasi Kandar. Aaaah, ikan kari, ayam kicap, teloq rebuih, kuah campoq. At first I wanted to eat at at least 8 different nasi kandar throughout my break. After the third one (Line Clear, Beratur, Union Street), I can barely hear the word 'Nasi Kandar' no more.

...until today, the sight of Pelita makes me sick. No more curry for a month, man.

Now, Mee Goreng Bangkok Lane. Even mom and dad asked me to 'tapau' back for them.

...its so nice, I ate there twice.HEHE.

OH OH OH!!! FRIED OYSTER!!!! *died*

HoMaiGad. Oyster+egg=fireworks. I want to marry that uncle.

What else did I eat? *thinks hard*

*browse pictures in 'Penang Trip' folder*

hah! Cheese Naan and Butter Chicken Masala.

Quite good, but I got freaked out at one point because suddenly there was a group of people on the streets marching and screaming things and was not wearing any shoes. I got scared that I hugged my handbag so tight (I really really don't know if it was a ritual thing or what, so no offense).

*buuuuuuuuuurrrrppppp*

Unfortunately I did'nt have time for Asam Laksa and Char Kueh Tiow. Also, did'nt know where to find good and Halal ones.

Three days is definitely not enough to suck in all Penang food.

Oldest one in the group

Beginning of the year will always not be king to my pocket. Most of my friends' birthdays are within the first 5 months of the year. Except Sarah's (that is why she would not get a surprise-because we were bored of giving surprises to people).

It was Hazren's 24th (eeeeek 24!NO!) Birthday yesterday, and Sofia planned a surprise party for him (he gets it every year.should expect it by now, huh).

Alright, I did'nt know how the surprise went, because I was fashionably late (really, blame crazy people going into Pyramid causing jam on LDP), but I heard he was surprised, indeed.

Was suppose to be there at 6, but I got there at 7.45. Got in the house..

"SURPRISE!!!!!!"

.................

*checks date*

?????

*cricket sound*

HAHAHAHA. jeez, guys. I know I was late....so all latecomers get a 'surprise'.

Place was beautifully done.cute.

Than comes the sing-blow-cut cake.

Cake was from CakeMess

....and present from his girl.

Sofia : It's a pillow for the car, with my name and your name embroided on it.Awwwww.

Me : That's freaking cheeseballs.

Hazren : *dissapointed look but trying super hard to smile, but still no smile came out*

'Gotcha'

It's a sleeping bag.You know, since he's a crazy camper.So he was super duper happy with the present.

Me : OMG claustaphobic alert. Why would you wanna sleep in that thing.

Sofia : It gets cold in the jungle

Me : Just check in the nearest hotel, jeez.

Pictures *flash* pictures *flash*

Happy 24th Birthday Totobo!!

Vacay: Part 1

For those of you who followed me on twitter, have probably know where I was for a short holiday.

Here's a hint..

PENANG!!!

Why Penang? Two Missions.

One. Since everywhere else in Malaysia is raining, I had no choice but Penang. Because I want the beach to get so tanned that Naomi Campbell looks like Edward Cullen next to me.heh.

Two. Eat until i look like the Nasi Kandar dude, and smell like curry. Mission accomplished.

Checked in, and was welcome by an amazing view..

So with this attached to me throughout the vacation, I did not get lost most of the time (I'm an excellent map reader now! Ok, it might be the GPS era but so what?heh).

Officially a tourist *wears weird hat, shorts, high socks, black bulky pouch around waist, comes out of a van, taking pictures of building and pretending to understand local language*

HEHEHE.

Stay tune for my gastronomical journey, my tanning process and TOY MUSEUM!

36 months

Now before I start yapping on my trip for the next 87 posts, let me have a post dedicated to a special day.

On 12.01.2011, Azrin and I turned 3!

3 years?!?!?! HoMaiGawd.

I guess the one person I have, I mean WE have to thank is Sarah. You know, me being a BFF and Azrin being a cousin. Yeap, we have put u in many many, err, uncomfortable and weird position (haha!!), but you know we love you.Sort of.Sometimes.HAHA.

I remebered 3 years ago, when we first became a 'couple', we use to fight everyday.Sometimes twice a day.So that went on for about a year. That it just got less and less. Weird huh? I thought couples enjoy most in their honeymoon year and than the fights start to come, but not in our case.

We had to go through quite a few downs throughout the 3 years. One with him being in Segamat and me being in KL earlier. Than at one point his working time was my bedtime and we barely saw each other. Than there was a time when he had the free-est time of his life, but I had my exams. Than we had the whole other woman-other man thing. We had many many downs, but one thing I learnt, is that whatever problems you have, you can solve it by giving and taking, and meet in the middle for solutions.

It has been 3 years. Something both of us did not expect from the beginning. Heck, none of our friends expected we would last. Probably because of our differences. But you know what? That is probably the secret to this relationship. Why? Because when I yap away in the car for a good hour in the car on why he was 5 minutes late, he would just keep quiet and listen. Imagine if he is a short tempered person too like me? The car would be on fire by then.

Amazing three years. Nothing more I could ask more. I think we should treat everyday like its anniversary day. Well of course it would be cool to get presents everyday, but don't be redonkulous.Maybe presents every other day is fine *hint*

...hehehe ok ok, what matters is to be with that someone you love, right?and presents.

I shall now barf y'all with our picture through the years.

Happy Anniversary Beepster!!!! ILYSM. <3

Junior Masterchef

Happy 11.1.11 peeps! Im sure bunch of y'all getting hitched today, huh?

So, what have I been doing the whole weekend?

Watching Junior Masterchef Australia!! I've had it in my laptop for quite sometime, and finally had the time to watch it.

What is it, you may ask? A bunch of kids (8-12 y/o) in a cooking competition. You might think all they do is fry an egg or cook instant noodles or make PBJ sandwiches. So wrong. Think of all the food that you can't pronounce in a fancy restaurant.

Can you believe kids made these?? With minimun help, mind you. And with their colourful knives that don't look sharp but cuts beef like butter. When I was 8, the closest I could get to cooking is Play-doh.sobs.

My favourite contestant is Lucy (but she did'nt win). OMG she is so tiny that the spatula is bigger than her.

So.Freaking.Cute.

I was pumped up by JM, one day I went downstairs and there was Ayam Perchik in the kitchen. Before I ate, I started cutting slices of apples and arrange them on the plate. Took god-knows-what leaves in the fridge, start poking em in the chicken. Wipe the edge of the plate....and voila!

.......as I was taking my first bite, I forgot one major thing...

*puts on an apron.eat.*
