.. where's next?
Convocation and Penang trip the next day!
Penang
It was a smooth and quick flight to Penang.
The place where boo had always wanted to bring me and show me around.
Afterall, he spent a year there and has better idea of where to hang out.
At this point now, i really cannot believe that i don't remember the name of the hotel we stayed in.
Beach paradise?
It overlooked a mini beach with the school opposite our hotel.
The school which we were heading to play our floorball tournament.
It was good just walking around the mall and chilling and re-living boo's daily meals - his favourite beef noodles which i tried.
Not that fantastic
Walking down boo's memory lane, visiting the place in town where he used to stay.
It's hard to forget when you lived a high life.
If i knew him then, i would have probably moved over to stay with him for a year.
haha!
Then at night, we headed for a highly raved about western food stall.
It was not that clean, and not well-lit. Kinda ate in the dark.
Well, it was to re-live boo's days.
Like the past, he loved his steak.
While i didn't find anything special.
After which, we took a cab to a club.
I didn't think it was like really clubbing club and thought it was more of chilling and listening to livebands.
I didn't dress well.
The girls in the club were very well-dressed.
Slippery Soniaritas.
They showed Tom and Jerry on the two screens directly in front of me!!
I watched the repeats like 5 times consecutively while the band was playing and we, sipping our drinks away.
The next day, we were in for some sweat.
We could see our hotel from the school.
It's really near, like 1+min of fast walk from our hotel.
Such convenience!
It will never happen in Singapore.
Our luxurious hotels are differentiated from housing estates.
In Penang, on a cab to the hotel, i got a shock how the areas next to each other had such disparity.
You could see a well-furnished bungalow and next to it, an atap house.
I'm serious, no kidding. Like zinc-roof uncompleted atap house with half broken gates and adults and kids in there.
omg.
Anyway, after the tournament, boo and i headed for this cheap tze char stall in this coffeeshop (by the roadside).
The whole place is quite huge to be called a coffeeshop.
More like a hawker centre but not that much variety.
Not that fantastic (again) tze char.
But it was damn cheap.
By the time we had our dinner, explored the streets, it was dark and we were back in our hotel drinking with the rest of the floorball people.
There was nothing really much in Penang, but for a short getaway to relax and chill, it was good enough.
Was kinda sad to leave because i had to work the next day (!!) and had a long break because the day before Penang trip was my convocation and before that was on half day to run errands.
Angie
She's a darling and never forget any one of our birthdays.
Everyone else had their own commitments but she still wanted to meet me up.
It's not the birthday but on a monthly basis that we will date each other out or go shopping together.
It's the sincerity in her which i know is because she wants to maintain this friendship.
That makes me even more determined to keep our friendship.
For the rest who've walked out of my social circle i can't be really bothered because i'm also very tired like you and have other commitments which are more worthy of my time.
I rather spend it wisely, like hanging out with friends whom i can talk to and who really care or just hang out with boo.
And although on my birthday it didn't end on a good note, I still have a happy picture :)
