Christmas @ Penang

December 31st, 2009 by tziaaa

We went to Penang on Christmas.
Drove all the way from KL to Penang with the heavy traffic, it’s really tiring enough.

It has been decades since we last been to Penang.
Thanks God, my phone GPS was being good and guided us real well.

114
reached Penang on about 8pm.

Someone was so stubborn and refused to book a room beforehand,
we ended up calling 20+ hotels which are all fully booked. grrrrhhhh!!!

There’s only a few resorts rooms left, cost about rm800-rm1000 per night. fml.
like oh no, do we really need to end up at those crazily expensive rooms which is definitely not worth it??!! @@
no, we later on got a room in a hotel which cost only rm250 per night. we thought, we are god damm lucky.

25

and, hmmm, the hotel failed us big time. it was pathetic, we got really disappointed.
learned a lesson, never go on a trip on an extra peak season, WITHOUT booking a room.

First of all, it isn’t a beach hotel which means no romantic beach walking and so. :(

and also, this is probably the worst hotel we have been.
it’s small and smelled.

with dirty towel, stained bed sheet and… *as shown below* …..

33

no choice. took a quick bath then we went to meet up with Ah wan and the girlfriend.
Had dinner together at Gurney Drive Hawker Center.

43

Saw a char kuey teow stall with a lot of people queuing up. It must be good, i thought.
Ordered a plate with cost only rm3.50. & no doubt, it’s good.

53

fried oyster, as an accompaniment. slurrpsss.

63

we finished our dinner on about 1a.m.was to tired to explore the place.
went back, and straight fall asleep despite the unflavorable condition of the room.

next morning, washed up and ready up, & it’s another brand new day.
the amount of mirrors in the room is the only consolation. craps.

93

The journey then continue by exploring good food at Pulau Tikus.

stopped by this curry puff stall, and there’s this old auntie(lady on the bottom left of the photo) that spoke to us.
she said, those curry puffs are awesome. she loves it and buy it from this man really often.

we bought 2, had a bite. & it’s really finger licking good!
It’s rm2.50 for one.

102

walked to the coffee shop nearby, ordered wantanmee.

115

& a plate of Indian style char kuey teow.
It’s too egg-ish for me. I didn’t really like it.

123

then, off to Kek Lok Shi.
It’s was so terribly jam, we used the time pretty wisely, by, camwhoring. ^^

142

paid rm2 and got up to the majestic kek lok shi pagora.

151

hit on the bell, which the chinese believe by doing so your wish will come true. :)
can i make a wish that all my other wishes will come true? hee!

163

The garden style temple has really caught my heart.
It is so pretty, couldn’t resist, and took a photo with it.

171

the omg poser wanted a photo too. :)

181

then we thought we should have a photo together with the banyak beautiful punya view.
but, as you see, we, FAILED.

191

Randomly i went to a tourist there and request her to help us with a photo.
& she was kind enough.

wah, pretty!
cheh, not saying me la, talking bout the background.
& suddenly, i feel like going to China!!!!

201

AHEM… sorry to say.
but this is the only non-human photo captured that I am satisfied with.

please allow me to bribe you people with this pair of cute lil red shoes. ^^

212

wanted to take the cable car up to see the magnificence kuan yin statue.
yes, I am one who always got attracted to the chinese culture and arts. to me, there are all beautiful.

but, intention lost immediately when we see the queue. It was as long as the great wall.
yes, I am exaggerating. but still, the queue was really way too long.

decided to drive up instead, just to get myself amazed by the statue. yes.

221

my chinese zodaic sign is a sheep.
had a photo with it before I left the place.
241

The nearest next location shown in my GPS is the penang hill.
but hmm, it was omfg crowded too.

also, due to the hot weather, we decided to cancel the plan of going up there.
we later on decided to go around Penang by car instead.

we dropped by at a beach in batu ferrengghi.
to fulfill the romantic beach walk thingy.

but hmm, the beach was crowded and isn’t clean.
macam mana romantic? potong steam sudahhhhh!

27

i contrasted kaokao, to make the sand looks white. fml.

someone is loving the christmas present i get him.
i knew you gonna like it! hee!
28

drove back to KL right after that.

okayla, though the hotel and beach failed me.
but, I had fun at Kek Lok Shi and enjoyed the local food.

so, it’s still wasn’t that bad afterall.


belatelated MERRY CHRISTMAS!

December 29th, 2009 by tziaaa

imma now going to wish you people a belatelated
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
it’s not too late yet, I guess, at least, it’s not new year YET. xD

i am not a christian, Christmas, for me is a joyous day where people get together & celebrate it.
also, it should be romantic.

however, my Christmas eve isn’t that romantic.
But, it’s good to hang out and have a good laugh with friends, and also the special one.

dolled up. all white, again. & it was a good hair day.
attempted to act cute, & failed miserably. *smack forehead*

112

this is better.

camwhore session always started when I got too bored in the car. *winks
we was on our way going to have our christmas dinner.

24

52

we had our dinner at my favorite seafood restaurant, Hau Kee.

72

by the time we finish our dinner, it’s already 10.30p.m.
brian needs to fetch khaikhai home as she has got curfew.

we then went to meet up Fred’s college mates at Sri Petaling then together we went to Sunway.
spot Justin Ds the poser.

101

took a photo with those very pretty christmas decoration.

82

the crazee crowd.

113

we didn’t join the brother sister in crowd, as we didn’t want to become sardine fishes. xD
so, we chose to just chill out at a cafe in Sunway.

had a lil drinking, and much laughing.

132

someone looking cute with the beer bottle stuck in the goldfish mouth. hee!

141

& that’s basically how I celebrated my christmas eve.
not an awesome one, but isn’t bad at all.

as long as i am with him, everything seems good.

img_5131

went back right after that, watched American Pie 2.
It’s stupid. like, seriously.

p.s. – thanks Melaniehwa for her belatelated Christmas present, adele’s too. :)

last this Christmas I gave you my heart, and the very next day you gave it away…”
lalalalalalala…. :x


那耳熟能詳的承諾?

December 28th, 2009 by tziaaa

你那所謂無心的一句話,
讓我忽然覺得自己不再完整,
也讓我的淚腺破裂把枕頭都哭濕了。

那一刻,你卻忽然出現,
像針線般為我縫補你在我心里留下的傷口。

很佩服自己。
我的心,痊愈得很快。

好像已不再在意是誰那么殘酷無情。
好像已不再在意那實現不了的承諾。
好像已不再在意是誰為我添了傷口。
好像已不再在意到底誰先離開了誰。

因為,我很愛你。

但親愛的,
我的心,也會有墜毀的那一天。

冬至

December 27th, 2009 by tziaaa

img_4975

今年冬至在外婆家過的。

這次的湯圓都是媽媽搓的,個個圓圓肥肥的。看不見那些丑不拉雞奇形怪狀的湯圓。
憶起小時候,弟妹和我總是興致勃勃地“幫”媽媽包湯圓。 搓出不圓又不方,個個大小不一的湯圓。
雖然如此,我們還是引以為傲, 一時還會為那些奇形怪狀的湯圓取名去。*笑*

湯圓在暖暖的姜汤里翻滚幾回后便可上桌。
媽媽包的湯圓皮很Q,那融化的椰糖更在咬一口后溢出。很爽口,很好吃。
更總要的是,湯圓里的那一份情與關懷。吃了有份說不出的感動哦!

p.s. – 該死的,都快新年了,我這才寫到冬至那一天而已。:X


mom’s birthday 09

December 27th, 2009 by tziaaa

I know I have been M.I.A. for, ern… about a week? Was on a busy holiday schedule. paiseh!
I promise I will be updating more often from today onwards. :)

okay, I should now start off with the incredibly delayed post on the beloved Mom’s birthday.
Got her a blueberry cheesecake.
110


Happy Birthday to
my mom, the world most wonderful woman.
mom turns a year older, but she’s still as beautiful.

23

Together with the siblings, got mom some birthday presents.
mom loves us so much that she rather have all her money spent on us than herself,
she definitely deserves something good.

it doesn’t costs that much, but it’s something mom really needs and wants.

31

Mom’s birthday is actually 13th december, but grandma reported it later by 3 days,
& so, on mom’s birth date on the identity card is dated 16th december.

However, dad bring mom for her birthday dinner on 13th december.
went Tenji Japanese Buffet located at Solaris, Soho KL, since we had heard much good review on it.

we was pretty amazed by the long queue formed in front of the restaurant.

41

The ambiance of the restaurant is good.
The only thing that spoilt it much is that it was way too crowded and chaotic.

51

The food.
It wasn’t as good as I thought it was.

speed of replenishing the food was slow.
the seafood wasn’t fresh at all. *crab
nothing seems to be extra delicious, everything look, just, average.
choices of ice cream(Baskin Robins/ Haegondanz) disappoint me a lot.

The service.
failed big time.

slow.
no one came to clear up the table.

as a conclusion, I don’t think I will visit Tenji again.

61

some photos of the family.
mummy and daddy(stoning).

71

the brother, wandering emo-ing.
hell, I am so freaking good in capturing emo shots! lol.

81

the ever so sweet lil sister and yours truly.

92

a camwhore shot together with the mother & sister.
my mom looks pretty, yes.

10-2

although the dinner wasn’t that satisfying,
i still wish mom enjoyed her birthday, she, definitely deserve to be happy.

111

on 16th of December, I decided to bring mom out for dinner again.
together with the other family members, we went to Dragon-i at Sunway Pyramid.

121

The food was satisfying, and the service was good.
I am glad that everyone enjoyed the meal.

besides, all of us have bloated stomach after the meal.
got way too full. *burpppsss.

131

Once again, Happy belated birthday Mom.

Thanks for bearing with all the shyts I gave all these years. I know, being a mother of three isn’t an easy job.
But, mom, you have been a really great mother. & I am pretty sure you have been a awesome wife too!

and, mom, I have to say that I have really learned a lot from you.
Thanks for being my inspirations, and my dearest friends all these while.
You rock, mom!

thanks, mom.
Happy birthday, and I love you heaps.


Whiskey ♥

December 20th, 2009 by tziaaa

my puppy, Whiskey. :)
a real adorable and naughty one.

got him at the side of street at kampar, sent to a vet at Ipoh, and brought him all the way back to KL.
he has a tough time in car, puke twice, poor thing.

poor us too, cleaning up the mess was crazy.

img_49152

taking care of a dog is so much harder than what I expected.
lucky enough, i have a very patience boyfriend.

still, i am glad that Whiskey knows how to go to the toilet to poo by himself on the third day.
fyi, we had never taught him to do so, we thought, it’s still too early.

Forces him hard to eat the de-worm pill, tried all sorts of way. but he insisted, not to.
we sort of gave up, and went out.

when we got back, just threw him the pill.
& surprisingly, he ate it immediately and ran over to his bowl and drank heaps of water. cute!
he hates pills so much, but, guess he thought we wouldn’t want him anymore if he doesn’t eat it. ha!

also, he now knows we are calling him when we call Whiskey.

img_49241

ahhh, i miss Whiskey already.
yes, he’s in boyfriend’s house now, cause my family members have very sensitive lungs.

:(
