Hello from Penang

Hello!!!! i m safe n sound and still alive and am currently 'growing mushroom' in Penang! Imagine cramming everything from resigning,handing over my job, signing my contract with the new company, packing my things,saying goodbye and flying to Penang all in one month...just one month ago, i submitted my resignation letter with trembly hands n feet

i had taken this pic with the intention of blogging about it a month ago...but heh...better late than never! after submitting this letter i was not really on good terms with my now ex boss! GO TO HELL LAH U! okok... we will keep that story for another day 'x'

So goodbye my old cubicle...

this time round, i didnt have a headache packing up my stuff at work cos i tried not to bring as many TOYS to work

but i did bring this little rear view mirror back and even brought it with me to Penang ...*cough cough* just in case

Thanks everyone back in Kuching...colleagues, friends and family who have treated me to lunches n dinners! I've had THREE farewell lunches from my colleagues this time! and of cos the endless buying of dinner n lunches from others :P and also ang pows n gifts....i feel so loved! i might consider leaving again every few years 'x'

Farewell Lunch at Mr Ho

Just got back from Singapore...my bag's still unpacked from the trip and now i have to do my big packing for my move to Penang this sat... arghh...

there are loads of outdated photos on my computer n camera so i just had to post some stuff before they all get forgotten...

Some of my colleagues gave me a farewell lunch at Mr Ho's fine dining on easter sunday...i think the place would be nice to take nice photos in natural lighting so i brought my dslr there on that day, which is quite a rare occurence for me :P

they are having set lunch menu with an entree,main dish and dessert for only RM15.90!

here comes the salad...

and we had extra orders of mussels...

this is the fried rice with roast pork and fried egg on top from menu 1

looks like your simple average joe dish but at the end it proved to be better than our oglio olio with roast pork from menu 2 :(

here it is...

i find it a little on the bland side...i would prefer their pesto spaghetti

we also ordered the small sampler plate which didnt prove to be small at all!

a combination of roast chicken, roast pork,sausages,pork ribs...

and of cos came the dessert at the end...love the bread pudding =)

made me search for bread pudding recipes on thet net :P

My Latest Novel Obsession

Wowee...it has been several weeks since my last update! :D
I am really drowning in all the stuff i have to do before my relocation...in the first few weeks, there were so many things to do that i didnt bother starting 'x' simply bcos i didnt know where to start...hehehe

But now, i guess things are around 90% complete...i have yet to decide what i wanto bring over and what i should leave behind *gulp* and there's the annoying BE 2008 form to fill!! arghhh...30th of April is looming!

All those stuff coupled with the erratic behaviour of my internet connection is deterring me from sitting down and write a post on my blog! Anyhow, i did manage to indulge in some free time reading...hehehe....

It all started by watching the Twilight movie...hard-core fans of the novels claim that the movie was no good but i rather like the movie...so i reckoned the book should be even better! and so i bought the first book in the vampire-love saga...Twilight :)

And after reading the first one, i just had to get the next...New Moon....
and after that.... Eclipse...the third installation in the saga...hehehe

I m still looking for the 4th book but it seems that major bookstores in town claim that it is out of stock :(

Within just 3 weeks, i bought all 3 books and spent RM110+++ on the books and that's excluding the 4th book which costs around rm49.90...eeps...there goes my shopping allowance for the month 'x'
