His Cousin In Penang

It was back in August when his cousin came to Penang.

The first time I met his cousin was back in Kuching. It was then that his cousin made a plan to come over to Penang for a few days with his beloved wife. It was awkward for me when I first met his wife but guess what? After a while, we got really close. She is a really sweet girl and I enjoy talking to her. They were together for seven years and were recently married. A very loving couple, I shall say.

Since the boyfriend was busy working, I brought them around for a while before I dropped them at Queensbay Mall and went for duty at a charity event. That very same night, we went to Batu Ferringhi after dinner.

On their last day in Penang, we brought them to buy some souvenirs back home. Of course not forgetting to bring them to taste some local delicacies.

Such as ice-cream chendol.

Urm, yam?

And of course, the rojak.

And before we drove them to the airport, we took them to Coffee Tree to buy some coffee as well as to his mom’s stall to take away some laksa back to Kuching. We bid farewell at the airport and yes, I actually hugged her. Hope to see her again, most probably back in Kuching?

It was the second part of training after the first one I had back in September. This time, our activities were more fun. Well, I am referring to our out-of-class activities. The in-class activities were very disappointing. Probably we had high expectations. Anyway, let us focus on our out-of-class-bonding activities.

On the first night, we did not do anything fun. However, we kick-started our crazy week on the second night with a game of bowling. When was the last time I played bowling? I believe it was back in the time when I was in Form 5.

On the third night, we went for a movie together – The Three Musketeers. A nice movie, I shall say and we headed to McDonald’s after that before we all went back to the hostel.

On the final night, we decided not to take up the free dinner at the hostel instead. All of us headed to Alamanda Shopping Mall to have our dinner and oh, we broke into two groups; one to McDonald’s (again) while another to Nando’s.

And how were we supposed to end our final night? A two-round of bowling and I will never forget that night. Why? I had my first ever STRIKE!

At the end of the day, the family grew bigger and our bonds got stronger. Though some of us had taken different pathways, I believe strongly in our friendship. I am very sure that we will all soon see each other, probably most of us, again.

The New Journey

It has been a long time since I last updated my life here. Many things had happened and the most extraordinary one was that I had moved to Penang.

It was not an easy move. I did not come to this decision easily. It was really difficult as there are many things I had to consider. And of course, there are things I had to sacrifice.

You see, I had built my life in Kuala Lumpur for the past 6 years. 6 years is long. I had built my base really well there and now I had to move on.

To start anew.

However, I know I am not alone here. Though I do not have many friends here, I believe I am able to do well here too. Also, I have him by my side as sel as Him.

They have given me the courage and it is up to me whether or not I can take it.

Cheers to my new journey of life!
