One day in Penang

29 April
It was scalding the weather when I reached the nearest bus stop. After sometime, there was a woman came to ask me how much the cheapest fare to get to Butterworth. I was quite nervous talking to her as she spoke with very thick accent. Initially I thought she is a foreigner( she is an indian actually) but after we chatted for a while I realized she is a Malaysian too,33 years old. She even invited me to sit beside her and I just agreed. In the bus, she showed me her art work in her phone. haha. I wasnt quite interested as the phone resolution isnt quite good enough and the images was quite blurred but I dare not reject her and i just scrolled quickly to the last picture and returned her phone. We continued to chat along the journey and to be frank, I was quite anxious that she might be a fraud. haha. Silly right? So when I reached my destination, I quickly checked my purse and counted the money inside.. Phew,,,she wasnt a fraud..HAHA
In the shopping mall, I bought a game disc, a bottle of mineral water ( i like to drink), a novel (Shopaholic ties the knot). I was quite frustrated when I found out the whole series of Shopaholic books and I did not have enough money to buy them....
So, after that, I was quite down as i had to go to Penang Island with ferry and i needed to wait again. I think i had spent 3~4 hours on the public transportation. I met my dentist and he had my braces tightened again..Fortunately, it wasnt as painful as the last session which I still remembered that i contorted my face the moment i walked out of the clinic.
After the treatment, i went back home with the ferry again.

KL Trip

The chicken chop
The chock cake
Sunway Pyramid
The novel- confession of a shopaholic
Gathering at UKM
Phew...Finally i have finished my matriculation programme..
Finally i can slow down my pace again..Yahoo

Yep..This time I went to KL to enjoy my holiday and at the same time went to UKM for my architecture interview.

24/4
I headed to Parit Buntar to take bus to KL. It was a nice bus compared to the one I took back from KL after the trip.The bus was spacious, cool and clean. The bus started its journey to KL about 11.30am.
After approximately 5 hours, I finally arrived at KL Puduraya Bus Terminal. Fortunately it was a sunny day and I found my sister and his boyfriend right after I stepped into the terminal. We walked cross a few blocks and took bus to go to my sister's place at PJ. After that, we have our dinner at the nearby stalls(dai pai dong). To be frank, I prefer food in Penang.(ya, indeed it is a food sanctuary)

25/4
I woke up very early in the morning. My sister woke up early too to prepare sandwiches and a hard-boiled egg for me. Haha. It has been long time I do not eat such a simple yet nice breakfast.
Then, I took bus to KL Central and KTM to UKM, at Bangi. HAHA..Thanks again to Calvin ( i dunno how to spell his name), my sister's friend to send me into the campus. He is really a nice guy, as he even offered to drive me back to the KTM station after I had my architect interview in UKM. Talking about the interview, well, it started with drawing. All the interviewees were required to draw a structure/ building based on the 4 pictures given ( a tree, a lady wearing some sort of clothes that look like batik, a car and 2 dolphins). I had drawn a fountain based on these pictures and I heard that quite some people drawing that. We answered 2 questions too.
After that, the interview started. Haha. I was gald that I had friends (KMK) to accompany me before the interview. The 4 of us were like "sampat", chatting happily and somehow quite loudly too. Haha. I think our group got much attention from the others. I was the first to be interviewed amongst them. I was quite nervous at first, and I tried to relax myself by talking with the Malay girl outside the interview room. haha. Phew again. The interview was just like a friendly talk.
After the interview, I went to Mid Valley with my formal shirt still on. Initially, I wanted to watch a movie, but after I came close to the counter, I saw there were already throng of people waiting there. Frustrated to see so many people, so I canceled my plan. Then, I just did window shopping and watch the fashion show. I bought a novel "Confession of a Shopaholic" in MPH before I went back to my sister place.

26/4
I had asked my online friends out to Sunway. I was quite surprise to 2 of them. Gosh, they are just too tall for my age. I never have same age friends that grow so tall. They took their lunch at KFC and I just have a cup of Pepsi as I was full that time. After that, we went to skate. haha. Zhi was quite good as he never skating before, but he pick up the skill faster than the other 2 of us. I fell down two times during the skating. Not bad. We played for about 2 hours, then we went to window shopping. At 6pm, i bid my farewell to them as my sis wanted me to go back early.

27/4
I met Zhi and Ben again today and we shopped around Time Square area. I did not buy anything because I was saving up my trip money for my dentist appointment...haiz... We went for movie in Time Square. At there, Zhi's friend, Rabbi,t was waiting there already and I did not know that he brought another friend. So what? Who cares? I was turned down by the others to watch "Mall Cop" and they chose to watch " The Uninvited". Actually I was quite anticipating to watch that movie too. The movie started, well, I think quite interesting, but the ending, damn, it was horrible, not the kind of ending I expected. After watching the movie, we just walked around the shopping malls. At 7pm, I took monorail and went back to my sister place again.
At night, my sis, me and her bf were having our dinner at Secret Recipe in Jaya One. We ordered 3 plates of chicken chop and 1 piece of chocolate cake. I quite enjoyed the ambient inside the shop. I was clean and cozy. Iwould give 7/10 for the chop I ate. The meat was quite hard. We took several photos there before we left the place.

28/4
The last day I was in KL. I woke up around 9am, turned on the computer and started to pack my luggage. I have tuna bread today. After taking bath, it was almost time I needed to go to the Puduraya Terminal again. I said goodbye to my sis and I set forth back to my home.......

Good bye KL.. Hope to go there again soon
