Yea, I concluded myself today as mission accomplished! Ha! Because i fulfilled all my girl friend's birthday wishes - pressie, cake, a day trip to Penang and to try out the one and only one Charlie Brown cafe at Straits Quay Penang. Initially i thought it was an impossible thingy due to some unsettled stuffs from xxx in my hometown. But who knows, things just went on so smoothly today! Haha!

We started our journey at noon time and reached there about an hour later. And that's the time we tried to find our own way to the Charlie Brown cafe. Charlie Brown cafe facebook The official website is currently under construction and so i believe users are unable to access into it. =) Seems like everyone goes there just to take pictures with the icons in the shop, mostly Snoopy the dog of course. Alright, just a simple description of the location, it is located at the Straits Quay (a new residential area and shopping mall in Penang) in Tanjung Tokong. My memory, however, did not fail me from reaching the place despite the small number of times i go to Penang. :D But the problem was, we reached Straits Quay, just that we couldn't find where the hell was Charlie!! The shopping mall did not look alike the usual shopping mall, quite unique and complicated, though. (You'll know what i mean if you go there. :p) After some guidance from my friend and yea, we finally found it - the Charlie Brown cafe.

Charlie Brown Cafe

That's us, with her favourite Snoopy. :D

The ambient there was great actually, just that the food was a bit over-priced i guess. 1 plate beef spaghetti, 1 plate of roasted chicken nasi lemak, 1 chocolate milkshake and 1 mix-fruits ice cream costs us RM62.80. @@!! Anyhow, first experience worth the price. =) Well, my whole album can be found at First experience at Charlie Brown cafe.

Next station was the Gurney Plaza for a shop. Surprisingly we could hardly see people there for the first time! Ha! Oh well, i feel like i am getting too old for shopping. I already felt boring and tired even we just walked for 15 minutes!!! XD Hell ya, travelling has become one of our habit. People used to stay overnight or at least half a day when they travel up to Genting but 3 years ago, we went there for only 2 hours and paid for the outdoor tickets just for the fun and fresh air. @@ We could travel for a long journey to Malacca just for a meal. And so today the same thing occurred, we stayed at Penang for less than 4 hours only! Huhu~~~

Cheers EVERYONE!!!

Cheers~~

21/6/2011

Back to my home-sweet-home for a week plus? Yea.. I bet this time really will be the last time I am here before i start working in July. Yea! AGAIN our plan was to come back here before sunrise. But this time, it was a little bit different by having to fetch my friend at the bus station whom back from Singapore.

My friend would be reaching at the new bus station in town - Terminal Bersepadu Selatan a.k.a TBS. Expected time of arrival was 3.30am but you know, buses are delayed as always. So on the day itself i planned to have a good rest before i had to stay awake throughout some time and drove back to my house before dawn. But who knows, old illness caught me at the wrong time - Insomnia. Seriously, what is so fun about insomnia? Damn it was no fun at all! The worst part was i drank a whole bottle of beer - Kilkenny in the night while accompanying my girl friend to do her revision for her last paper in ACCA. It's a general expectation that beer will cause people to be drunk, or to sleep like whatever at least. But you won't believe that i could hardly fall asleep after the bottle. =( The same situation occurred on Friday, and every now and then without any alcohol too. Ai ya ya...

Just some pictures for the TBS - Terminal Bersepadu Selatan.

Had been complaining since i came back - boring/ nothing to do/ lame holiday... I was planning to jog every morning for a continuous 2 weeks before i start working, but seems like i failed my plan again. My laziness, the thought of having to wake up early after i start working and not able to sleep late, bla bla bla... All excuses. LOL! And here, I am gaining weight. HO HO!! I mean, how many % of people in the world would use the opportunity to sleep late to wake up early in the morning to sweat? Damn, another lame excuse of mine.. =.=!!

Let's talk about my newly bought speaker, (few months back) and now I am fully utilising it while watching movies or listening to musics from my lappie. Oh yea! You just can't believe despite the small size, the base and the sound system is just so great! The vibration on the table when i turn on the full volume on the base, how clear is the sound when i turn on the full blast. If there's an alcoholic in front of me, it would be like, on cloud nine man! LOL...
