okay, i think it's really high time for me to keep this blog up and going alive.. lol
so it's been about two weeks since i got back. pretty much enjoying this holiday compared to the previous sem breaks which seemed too hectic to my liking. i used to hit the malls the very next day each time i come back to penang and fully schedule my week for facial, shopping at gurney, movies, more shopping at queens, hiking, more movies, bowling and etc. the plans just never seem to end, like a starving monkey being let loose in a fruit buffet. (cannot blame me wat.. i do come back from the jungle) but this time, i didnt had the urge to shop the very minute i step foot on the soils of our dear island, instead i was more eager to clean up my store bedroom which i left in a mess when i went to uni. so i cleared out all the junk, rearrange my furniture and stayed home the whole week, working hard like an indon maid. =) IF only i had the money, i'd like to re-furnish my whole room and make it all cozy and more modern looking.. sigh. every furniture in my room's older than i am. (except for my DIY book shelves and study table of course..)

anyways, went canoeing with the girls.. and some guys this morning! it's been some time since i've done any water sports and it was fun.. and tiring. vin and i went on the single canoes cos he knows i prefer it and it's easier to control though i was a bit worried about him (due to his drowning experience) but i'm glad it was alrite. the bunch of us only canoed around the cove, about 30m off shore and not long, ended up splashing water at each other. the brave hunted their hopeless victims while the 'smarter' ones fled for life at the sight of others being tortured. lol so ming, yan, vin and i decided to row to the other side of the cove and found a very nicely decorated and designed spa/resort/chalet building which non of us knew of its existence. funny thing is, we were just floating around and ming really enjoyed resting with her toes in the air while the waves pushes the canoe. right after she commented that it was so nice, both ming and yan's canoe was washed onto the shore. damn hilarious. lol. right before our hours' time's up, vin and i exchanged our single canoes with ming and yan's double. while the girls were having fun, vin decided to capsize both their canoes which caused poor ming and yan with cuts on their feet from the dead corals on the muddy bottom. made the cheeky bugger felt kinda bad and sorry. haha

after a nice quick shower, the starving bunch proceeded with lunch at a nearby chicken rice stall. then only a number of us continued our day with a game of bowling. i'll probably be aching all over after tonight's rest. sooch even suggested on going for a jog tomorrow.. goodness, count me out. i'm too "old" for such vigorous non-stop activities.. i'm afraid my bones will break.. haha.
as soon as we tire ourselves with three games of bowling, we headed off for some desserts! now i've got another spot to look for yummy thirst-quenching, cooling dessert. and it's cheap! it's jelly served with ice shavings, syrup water, a big longan and a slice of lemon. the tinge of lemon with the jelly and the sweet sugary cold syrup water makes such a perfect combination.. simply delicious! it's sold on a van-like-truck by the road side just after the ferry terminal.. but i forgot what it's called.. some hokkien word like "orr chien" or something like that.. haha mind me, my hokkien is terrible.. it was about 3pm and i was already having my third meal of laksa, chee cheong fun, chai koay and the yummilicious dessert. tht sounds badd.. but i enjoyed it! i've attended two dinners in a week and one more to go on the 16th.. i'm definitely going to put on weight.. in places that i dont want.. T_T sigh.

i should be getting my rest now. body's starting to ache already.. =(

nights!
