and for the rest of the day, i slept and read my book. took a walk to 7-11 nearby and got stuck coz it started raining. yeah...

Day 2: 07.01.06 - saturday
11-ish: woke up... heheh..

went to pick up mom and sis at the airport which was like 10 mins drive away from home. gile dekat! in kl... its like 45 mins drive... had lunch... nasi kandar. so much for dieting the past week. then, we headed to gurney plaza... there's nothing much there. it's like another mid-valley only smaller but i insisted on going anyway... i would be bored half to death if we were to balik rumah straight from lunch. i needed to walk off my lunch anyway. went home... dinner was at this seafood place. we got lost on the way there... sheesh... it was famous for prawn mee. it's in teluk kumbar. i dont really fancy or even like prawn mee before but at this place... the prawn mee was so SEDAP! ttotally changed my mind abot prawn mee! the prawns were huge. they were not udang galah so that means the prawns were HUGE! after dinner, we walked on the jetty. it was so dark... that i didnt even realise we were by the beach. jetty was nice.... cool air... very calming... wanted to stay there forever kinda feeling

view from the house... tht's part of the airport - the runaway

at the jetty - it's really dark... sorry!

ikan bilis.. guppies... i cant really see actually

Day 3: 08.01.06 - sunday

we went to bukit bendera. it was really really high... tall wahtever... the ride was freaky. the cable car had 1-satu-one cable pulling it up and down. goodness, what happens if the cable breaks????.. we'll crash down man and look like pancakes if we were to survivelah!!! scary... on the way up, we had to sorta cram into the cable car. halfway, there was this pakcik who started feeling woozy. thank god he didnt vomit! that would be it man! once up... it was cool... sejuk... we had a great view... penang bridge and all. had lunch at the hotel. yup... hotel or so they say. it's actually a house with maybe.... 7-8 rooms. service was good but the food was terrible. tak sedap langsung and for hotel-price... it was ridiculous! i guess we paid for the view and ambience which was great.

bukit bendera

the ride up!

the view from half way from the top

the view from top... i think


after bukit bendera... went to gurney plaza (again...) to get mom's birthday cake. her birthday was the next day. so... went to manila's place got chocolate banana cake... i honestly think secret recipe's choclate banana is way better!!! while mom, dad and bro went to buy groceries. my sister and i rushed to birthday cards for me mam. and we couldnt find any memory lane (maybe we didnt look hard enough... but then again we didnt have much time) or any stationary shop. so we went to parkson grand and got her card there. we had to make do with whatever they had which wasnt much at all.

went home... dinner and sang happy birthday at the stroke of midnight! then tido. didnt even cut the cake. we were all too tired!

Day 4: 09.10.06 - monday

lepak day coz dad was working. met my senior who happens to be my x-colleague as well. chatted and gossiped. it was fun. got home. i wanted goreng pisang.. so all us except for dad went to walk to the gerai for goreng pisang... and then we had leng chee kang... asam laksa... mee goreng... so that was suppose to dinner for us... yeah right... kononlah... we did have dinner... yet again... and birthday cake. someone brought us secret recipe's oreo cheesecake. so we had that as well. fat fat fat fat...

Day 5: 10.01.06 - tuesday (Raya Haji)

woke up and went over to my dad's fren's place for lunch. parents chit-chatted. us kids amused ourselves. i found out that my sister is a little 'sengau' which means she's kinda nasal when she speaks or at least with certain words. she says i use, i nyuse... heheh... then my sister and i balk kl. bro going to langkawi today... parents, they have functions.

today is clearing the house day. i managed to lipat all dry clothes. cleaned the kitchen. did the laundry... paid for my house and YTN. heheh.. mission accomplished for the day! yay for me!!
