-------------------------------------COP--------------------------------------
our Community Oriented Project (COP) last week was fun!
we visited My Little MBA Kindergarten in Klang..

most of them participated in our activities..
the six-year-olds were the more active ones.. =)

Wen's final day here was spent in Sunway Pyramid..
met up with 2 of our college mates, Eu Nee and Sun Mei..
the rest of them were no where to be seen..
either they are overseas holidaying, studying or working.. =S
it was lunch for us at Canton-i..
and 5 hours of singing in RedBox.. which i believe cons money!
why on earth do we need RM9 worth of small bowl of peanuts?

we ate breakfast at the biggest Dim Sum restaurant in Penang..
it is located opposite KDU Penang branch..
a lot of people! mostly uncles and aunties during that hour..

we headed to Bukit Genting Hill and had Tab Tim Grob..a Thai dessert: waterchesnut with jack fruit..
next was a rambutan farm.. caught red-handed!sweet and juicy rambutan.. his aunt's tree apparently..
next was Balik Pulau Market.. look more like bungalow la..
saw a grandma cutting nutmegs or buah palah..
nutmeg, the fruit is only found in Balik Pulau..
the nutmeg drink and Pasembur Penang, known to me as rojak..more like Indian style rojak with Chinese style gravy..
the famous satay.. only 25 cents per stick!
later we had Indo Mee at a roadside mamak stall..
crossing the Penang bridge..at the end of the bridge, the two Penangites told us that
they are going to take us for dinner at Ipoh..
Mel and i were totally shocked!
and i asked: Penang no more food to eat ah?
they were pretty sad hearing that.. =P
instead we had seafood at Bukit Tambun..5 dishes for 4 of us was a lot!
after that we headed home to rest..
the two of them practiced their instrutments,
while Mel and i took turns to use the computer,
and also watched their mini concert.. hehe..

--------------------------------Day 3 Penang--------------------------------
all 3 of us slept in until around 11am..
since Wen has orchestra practice, Ning has headed to KL..
for our last day, Li Keong who we have not seen in ages..
was our tour guide for the day.. hehe..
he took us for lunch in this restaurant in Butterworth..apparently it's so famous till tourists travel here to taste it..
fried pigeon.. recommended dish!
they called this popiah.. although it doesn't look like one..
steam fish.. the sauce slightly sour and spicy..
fried bee hoon.. nice!
then we went touring around.. this is the Air Force..previously it was under the Australians, but later sold to
the Malaysians for only a ringgit!
after that we headed to Autocity Penang..bought this Chocolate Cream Chip from Starbucks!
we saw people filming for the Malaysian-made series..高校铁金刚 / Yes Sir!
Rynn Lim Yu Zhong, a Malaysian artiste - only can see his hair!
how lucky of us to be on set.. haha..only if it was Wu Chun, i would have waited till filming is over~
Li Keong, Mel and i camwhoring in the car..
Wen's dad ta-pao Penang Char Koay Teow for us for dinner..a bit too spicy for me.. had a tough time eating!
on the way to the airport we saw "Penang Twin Towers ''again..it's actually condominiums.. lol..
our flight was delayed and we camwhored in the plane!after multiple shots and flash were seen..
a foreigner sitting a row in front of us asked
whether we would like him to take a picture for us.. OMG, malu!!
anyway, we kinda not-so-obviously stalked some people..
if you take a look closely, there were 2 cute guys on board..
one is an asian same row as us, another is a white guy with a cap!
enjoyed the video?
we caught both their attentions unintentionally, like really..
at separate occasions prior to the video-taking! haha..
so this is it for the loooong post..
