Did the usual Saturday marketing except that mum and I went to Seri Petaling instead of OUG. Breakfast was at Restoran Alisan , my mum's favourite place for Hakka noodles. In the afternoon, mum fried some Ipoh hor fun that I had 'forced' my colleague to buy for me. Went out for coffee at Piccolo after that with SK and KH. The day before, I commented that he rarely took photos of me and lo and behold, he actually brought out his new camera. Haha. But then, I'm not sure if it was to play with his new toy or it was in response to my comment. Celebrated Mother's Day in the evening. We were joined by Apollo + mum and SK + granny. The venue was Favola , Le Meridien Hotel. The only reason we ate at a five star hotel was because SK's UOB Preferred Platinum credit card had a 40% discount dining privilege there. At the very last minute, The Tribe wanted to join us ( their Melaka trip was cancelled cause Little Monster came down with conjunctivitis ), but the res...

Got up early on Monday morning to skank with the boyfriend.It's a funny thing that these days I seem to be able to sync my orgasm with his. May not feel like coming at the time, but when KH can't seem to hold it in any more and declare that he's close, I suddenly have the urge to spill my seed too. He says its my natural mechanism to make him do more work. LOL. Feeling famished after that, KH, Bro and I headed out for breakfast at Restoran Sin Saw Keat , Nibong Tebal. Its a notoriously crowded kopitiam with several stalls lining the road in front of it. Shared a mix of duck egg CKT ( much better than what I had the day before ), har mee , char siew bao , hong bak bao , bak kwa bun and economy fried noodles. The rest of the gang joined us later. Apollo ordered a plate of shrimp paste CCF which I gave another try. Computer says NO! Went home and did some final packing and lazed around the house. Early lunch was at Red Chopsticks . We weren't quite in the mood to try ...

Lucky for us, there was a Catholic church near to the home-stay called the Church of the Divine Mercy. Established in 2005, it is quite a new church. All of the decorations were wooden in nature. Many of the doors of the church are fully carved with scriptural scenes. Flanking the altar on the both sides are wooden triptychs. The one on the left is actually a hidden door. Another interesting thing about the church is the wooden crucifix above the altar. Strings clipped with petitions emanate from the spear wound emulating the rays of blood and water as in the famous image of the Divine Mercy by Adolf Hyla. The most interesting discovery is that the church houses first class relics of St. Faustina ( a piece of a major bone ) and St. John Paul II ( a drop of blood ). And beside the reliquarium was Malaysia's first immersion baptismal pool! Ate breakfast at Restoran Three Kingdoms . Just a simple meal of Kway Teow Thn'g and the supposedly famous Hokkien Mee at Jalan Su...

On the second day, we looked for breakfast at Jalan Sungai Ara. The kopitiam had a long table for us at the side alley. Food came from all over-- roti canai from across the road, wantan noodles ( yummy crispy wantans ) and semi-dry pan mee ( a style that I've not seen before, piping hot and perfect for breakfast ) from the shop, CKT, fried noodles and vegetarian food from another row shops. By the time we finished eating, my back was all wet from perspiration. Such a hot and gummy day. The first touristy thing for us to do in Penang was to go to the Blue Mansion. We were in time to catch the 11:00 AM guided tour. It has always been on my Penang "To Do List" to have a look inside. Our tour guide was Mr. Poh who gave interesting narrations about the history and architecture of the building. The mansion was a place where the famous merchant Cheong Fatt Tze did his business and housed his eight wives. According to Mr. Poh, the mansion was untouched by the war but many i...

Planned a getaway to Penang with the gang during the Labour Day long weekend. Bought the flight tickets six months before. At that time, I wasn't certain what the plan for my mother's birthday was. Closer to the date, I found the travel dates to be clashing. Bro had bought tickets to KL for April 30th, while I was supposed to fly off on May 1st! Dang! To make things work, I suggested to my siblings to celebrate mum's birthday in Penang! After some discussion, we reached a consensus. The Tribe would drive to Penang on Friday and my brother would follow them. On the other hand, I bought an extra flight ticket for mum to Penang. Didn't want her to spend too much time in the car in case her neck acted up again. Unfortunately, the flight back to KL was sold out, so she would have to follow my sister's car back to KL. Instead of flying back to Singapore from KL, my brother bought a flight ticket from Penang to Singapore. Phew. With the arrangements in place, it was all ...
