Random Babbling.

I guess dad was in the mood to drive today... he drove us almost around half of penang island...with me almost dying from the heat in the car... =.= owh well.. we drove across the bridge and took the Gelugor way to Gertak Sanggul... and then to Teluk Kumbar passing a lot of i-don't-know-where small malay towns on the way and finally ending up in Balik Pulau.. If you have ever took the road before, you'd know that it's uphill and windy... i'm not complaining... but then why take such a long drive on a hot day like this huh? =.=

So upon reaching Balik Pulau, we decided to hunt for the famous Laksa stall.. which we spotted easily... since there were so many cars and so many people crowding around... most of them from out station. i think. The laksa wasn't exactly the perfect laksa... LoL.. but then it's pretty good.. just that its not sour enough... with a bit of lime.. it'd be perfect.. =D and i had nutmeg juice... you know what? i didn't know Penang was famous for nutmeg until i was 18... malu.. =p nutmeg juice with a tinge of "sui buey" with ice on a hot sunny day... PERFECT!! too bad.. mine was hot... =.=

After Laksa, we headed to the old bookstore at Chowrasta Road... hehehe... =D

and i spent on novels again... =p this time... rm110 for 5 novels... which includes "Change of Heart" by Jodi Picoult, "The Cupid Effect" by Dorothy Koomson (i'm beginning to like books written by her.. =D), "The Kite Runner" and "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini and owwwwwhhhhhhhh... the book i wanted to get... "Sundays at Tiffany's" by James Patterson.. =D =D but then.. i didn't manage to grab any of Sparks or Ahern.. =( anyway... my reading progress this time round is slow.. haha... i've only read one so far by Koomson... but i guess that's good cause it means i'm caught up with something else... XD and i bought 4 Princess Diaries for rm15 yesterday... =.= i know i'm too old for that.. LOL.. that's actually a diary of a 14-year-old princess... =.= but owh who cares... its so cheap... =p and i don't mind reading some easily digested stuff now... XD

Next up was shopping... which i spent again on blouses... XD then it was dinner with my aunt, uncle and lil cousins... It was a restaurant overlooking Gurney Drive and the hawker place... food was expensive.. portion was small... but ambience was good... haha..

After coming back from the island, i went for round 2 yum cha with my cousin and his friends... who will be my housemate-to-be if everything goes well... =)

On other note, i've got my sem 4 results... and... Wan Ling passed... ;D though not brilliantly.. but i'm contented for everything except ONE.. you know... there're some things which you have high expectations for it... I know I could've done better... bah!! whatever... it's over... i'm just disappointed with myself =.=

so far... holidays have been great.. =D watched terminator.. though i don't like it... =p uhmm... met up with the girls for a looooong chat and chiam chiam... finished watching tvb drama "Sweetness in the Salt" or something like that... LOL.. guess what? that's like one of the RARE tvb dramas that i don't hit the fast forward button while watching.. so its a pretty good one to me... XD and... i'm currently reading "My Favourite Wife" by Tony Parsons.

owhkay... enough of babbling on and on... i'm signing off.. Will be away for a few days... Will update when i'm back... so till then.. see ya.. =) if i bore you with my babbling... too bad la har... =p

p/s: suppose to upload a few pictures to go with this post... but i'm too lazy to do that now... so... hehehehe...
