Its not a break (II)

So the company decided to rent a whole ferry to ourselves. But the one single thing after yesterday’s event was that, we do need an event planner in the next whatever event. Handling 150 adults and 50 over kids proves to be overly tiring, especially the “working” committee comprises of only 5 of us! The other “idle” committee members are merely idle through the whole work process and got themselves a brand new t-shirt. Yippie (nuh)!!!

Never have I thought that these ferries can actually ride below the Penang Bridge, of which we did. Crossing under the bridge, cruising along the Esplanade and then finally back to the Butterworth wharf, it was all over within 4 hours.

But the worst thing was that, I had to return to work immediately after the outing. And I thought I was so fortunate when I saw Dinesh was online in Lync. He was apparently moving his stuff from level 24 to 18 (turun pangkat). And he reminded me this:

“If you xde, the company can find a new fella in 1 minute
but if u xde, can ur mom n dad find another son?”

True rite?

Its not a break.

Merry Ferry

Renting a whole ferry to myself huh? Crazy enough of an idea, but I usually believe the sky is the limit. Say ‘YES’ before ‘NO’! Yes, that’s the spirit.



So after a few calls made by my colleague, we had our arrangements made to meet this man of Penang Port – the MAN. We were treated like super duper VIP lah in short. We were allowed to walk in one of the ferry, which was delayed for about 10 minutes so that we can have a view in it.


The very last time I went on a ferry was like 3 years ago, without actually realizing it. The ferries were just newly renovated and had refreshing colours painted on them.


As of now, only 4 ferries are in service. Pulau Angsa was… quack!

Pulau Payar was looking quite pale. Maybe some other day.

Pulau Rawa MUST be avoided! Its not my camera, it is the ferry which is tilted! Dangerous la weyh…

So that leaves us with Pulau Talang – Talang. Blue, calm, charming! Ding!!

Half a day spent on selecting ferry. I know I can be bit*h at times complaining about work, but this was a break really needed after some long hours of work. But the best part of today's visit to the jetty was, I remembered as a child riding on the ferry, I used to ask my mum what are those yellow thingy? I used to call them robotic-giraffes. Long long time ago...

How much to rent a ferry? All I know is that I can't afford to rent one!

Early Sunday

Yesterday was a fine day, though I was awakened by a bad nightmare early in the morning. Waking up that early gave me the advantage to move to Penang Island earlier.



From the bridge, the whole island was not even visible due to the bad haze. But the ease of the traffic allowed me to drive even slower than usual and as I cruised down the bridge, I found this loving couple with their “vehicle”. I must get one of this someday, one fine day.

First destination, Grove St. My guys were having their First Aid Competition, and I wanted to be there to support them. Support apa? I became their cameraman pulak. But OK lah, since I can play around with someone else’s Canon EOS DSLR.


At noon, I moved to my cousin’s house since my aunt is at KL. We had lunch at Burma St.’s Ko Cha Bi (sounds like “Kau Chubby!”). Well, it did mention Taiwanese food, but it left me wondering why was kimchi served? My recommendation, Paper Steamboat Set. I found myself more and more into small restaurants serving niche cuisines, especially located at old buildings with affordable prices. Sweet!

Bla bla bla… It was already 3 p.m., so I headed to this one old shop at Padang Tembak (or the Hokkiens called it Pak Cheng Por). Mission? To get a bottle of Snake brand talcum powder for my Supervisor. Accomplished!


So yes, it was such a fulfilling Sunday. Next week? Perhaps renting a whole Ferry to myself. Just wondering…

Go Figure Bit*h! What??

he-lllll-00! its not about being a targetted victim ok! use ur brains la.. what u said is soo much more terrible compared to others! if i want i oso can say that some people just pounce on innocent unsuspecting jrs rite! go figure! bitch!

I was just "constructing" the blog page and was going through all the old posts and comments too. And I found this comment left by an anonymous on the post K.I.S.S.

The fun of those days where we just took things as jokes and fun were just history. I've bet we can't do that to our colleagues nowadays, else, its gonna be an "international issue".

Working late today, similar like any other month ends. But tomorrow, a break in the island! Heritage stuffs, here I come!

Under Constructions

This blog is currently under constructions. I don't even know what to construct, just for the sake of formality. :)

Never Better - A Refreshing Journey

I gently wrote in my FB status:

"The charm of old houses, the direct wind from the river to cottage-like hostel, food that entice the hungry taste buds and desserts that soothe the warm hearts."

Nothing else would replace that expression that best represents my feelings over the last weekend.

Worth to note, that was my first outing after 2 years of hard work! What more amazing is that how much every single one of us had changed, evolved but still remained the same 'us' deep inside.

Pak Abbas still the same "pattern".
Pak Hassan still the same humble guy desperately looking for chabo.
Mak Teh still gossipy

And me...
