A New Year. 20 09

Finally I'm back to Penang.
And it's so hooootttt back here.

Didn't notice much changes around, just the extended Gurney Plaza and the always opening soon Penang Times Square. Some buildings were demolished too.
Still, there are a lot of vehicles around.
Traffic jam. Especially when it's close to Chinese New Year.

I was back in Malaysia on 9th. Was in KL helping my university for the education fair and school visits until 13th. Went down to Ipoh for 5 more school visits on 14th. And back to KL on 16th, Herbalife Spectacular and 3rd Anniversary during the weekends and back to the island on 19th.
Stayed in Traders KLCC during the trip*wink*
And my flight to KL and back to HK will be on 31st.

And it's Chinese New Year's Eve now.

Haven't done much in Penang. 4 consecutive days to Georgetown area Prangin Mall. Not in purpose of course. It all started because of the hair cut!
Owh ya, my hair is SHORT now!! (Wow....1st time since 2004) I ...like it? don't like it? Hmm...well, it's out of my expectation. I'll get used to it, hopefully.
Went shopping at the new Sunshine Farlim. A double storey building with the concept of Tesco Hypermarket. More parking space. More shops and outlets all around. More cashiers. Less long queues. Overall, this new building is quite good. We were there for about 2.5hours. Spent close to RM300 on CNY groceries and my stuff to bring back to Hong Kong. O.O
On our way back, I saw Kek Lok Si, lighten up in the dark. I think it has been a long time since I've seen this. Beautiful.
Watched Australia at GSC, had a dissatisfying karaoke session at Redbox.

Had twice my favorite Char Pui too......^.^

And I just finished our usual reunion dinner, steamboat bbq. Mum's cooking is still the best.

It seems that I don't have much time to hang out and sembang with my friends. Soon, it'll be back to stress and tension days.
Winter session is about to end. And I guess I did learn something from the China trip, as well as the education trip in KL and Ipoh. Nevertheless, opportunity cost is still very high.

Better planning in the future perhaps?=D
