hmmmm

Sorry for the long pause people! Got back from Kota Kinabalu last night and was too tired to blog...so it has to be tonight before i start losing readers...:)

what can i say about KK....had an awesome time there...the food, the drinks, the company i had there, and not to forget...Mr. Don's weeding!!!! one of the best vacation EVER!...i did not bring my camera along...so ....really sorry guys...no pictures...but to make a visualisation...i would say...its party party party...drink drink drink...and eat eat eat!!!

Flight back was a little scary...the plane had some technical problem before our flight and was delayed for an hour...and....i don't think the problem was 100% rectified before we took off...so i was on my toes throughout the flight....Alhamdulilah i got back in 1 piece man! ...DAyEMM!!!!!

Back to penang....lets continue with the food spree:

Nasi Lemak with Anchovies (RM1.50)

Apom Manis

Mc. Donalds chicken prosperity burger

Char Kuey Teow (Fried Kuey Teow)

SUGAR CANE!!! Something that Melbourne doesn't have!! well...not as nice for sure!

Hmmm......this is a teaser....there's more to come from tonight's dinner...but.....bad news came during dinner...my maternal grandmother passed away while we were having dinner tonight. I am having mixed emotions now...hmm

Though haven't spent much time with her all these years since i was borned, she still means alot to me. I will be driving back to mum's hometown tommorow morning for the funeral and will most likely not be around again to blog for at least a few days...im guessing at least 5 days. My apologies to you guys for this. I will try to get internet connection there.

I hope the Melbourne weather is treating you guys well (for those in Melbourne). It is extremely hot here but i am not complaining....it's a previlige not to worry about bringing any jjacket wherever you go or at least not worried at all if the weather is gonna turn cold.

This has been a very eventful trip. I hope things will only get better from now.

Dear grandma,

I will miss you forever!:( I LOVE YOU~~

signing out now for a good rest before the hour drive tommorow.

Thanks guys and girls...

Location: Penang, Malaysia

hello again everyone.....sorry for the lack of posts the past 1 week....been a busy week for me...
ok...right now..i am sitting in my room in Penang typing this post...muahahah...departed Melbourne @ 11.20am, arrived in Singaport for transit at 1600 hours Malaysia time (GMT+8)....then Departed S'pore at 1900 and arrived at 2010hours!!!  wooohooo!!!...my life is gonna rawk!
lol

anyways....here are some pictures:

Washed and cleaned and prepared for her 1month hibernation :)

A picture with the missus muahaha...already missing her!!!!

Roast Chicken

Cuttle fish with spinach with peanut and chilli sauce

Hokkien Mee aka. HAR MIN

Otak Otak

Cham Peng - Coffee and Tea with condensed milk!

Went to this coffee shop along Gurney Drive called Song River. This is like a mandatory stop everytime i touch down in Penang from Melbourne. Dad already preprograms his brain to drive there regardless of how full/empty my stomach is...muahahahha

just by typing this post...im feeling hungry again although i just ate them bout 2 hours ago....lol...

It is so nice to be back home.....the weather needs a little acclimatising BUT it won't take too long. After all, i've been here for the first 19 years of my life. 7 years in aussie land won't do much damage to how the body has evolved to suit this weather innit?

One thing that i have to brag will be my blackberry. It has not stopped surprising me ever since i got it. Guess what this time...the Blackberry service is working in Penang....singapore too~~~~
woohoo!!! i can safely say....that...i made the most correct choice by getting this phone instead of an iphone!
BB ROCKS~~

alright people..i have to go to bed now...a long day ahead...might not be blogging until next tuesday as i will be off to Sabah tommorow night for a friend's wedding and might not have internet access (more like no time) to update the blog. until then. enjoy your weekend guys~ be safe and DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE~

adios

Back

ahh...sorry for the recent drought in updates...been really really really busy in the days leading up to my trip home. 2 Friends will be having their wedding this weekend: Mr. Ummar Ariff, and Jacina Goh!

Just want to send my heartiest congratulations to them and also may they have a joyous married life after this weekend. lol.

Melbourne had a big change in temperature last monday, previous week being 46degrees, we had a max of 20degrees celcius last monday. What a big change. AND we will be expecting a lower than average temperature for the next 3 months...talk about global warming...this is global ice age looking to make an appearance!

Side skirts for the car has been sold....yes SOLD! ...no more side skirts for now. Car partially clay barred, and waxed....hmm...what else happened... OH
lysterfield park again last saturday with Kevin and Salony and another couple who tagged along. Poor salony had cut and bruises all over her leg...1st time ride!!! a little rough for sure haha

ok...i shall end this post with this:

Hotness

The temperature is AWESOME!!.....keeps rising... this was the temperature at 5.30pm yesterday

Even at 1am in the morning, my car was still showing 37degrees! WOW! You like that? My car air conditioning shut down for a few minutes when i left it idling while i make a phone call and while taking the picture above...I hope it was just the auto cut off and not anything malfunctioning! Sometimes i wonder why australian imported cars can't handle heat as well as Malaysian cars. Don't they know there are still a few days in a year where temperature can go crazy?

Which brings sweet memories about my Proton Wira.....And for my 1st 2010 award! i Shall give Proton Wiras the top award for having the best air conditioning units in their cars. I is that good people! Sometimes it even creates mist when left running at around 100km/h. Here are the momories

hmmm...those were the days! Will miss her always..1.3l NA Power yo!

Back to the main point....Forecast for the next week:

Getting a cool change later in the afternoon today....GOOD!

Hope you guys enjoy the rest of yr day. Remember....keep yourselves hydrated if you are playing any sports in this warm weather. You won't know you are dehydrated until it is too late. Adios.

Bush fire alert is on a high today in many parts of Victoria and also other states..So for those out there in fire prone areas, make sure you keep yourselves updated with the updates and warnings and EVACUATE if need be! House/money/properties CAN......CAN!!!! be restored. But your lives can not be replaced!!!....so run when the bell rings yo!

Weekend was a good and relaxing one for me. Had dinner with a friend whom i have not seen in months at Rich Maha...picked the missus up fr work and then back home from there. Had an early night.

Saturday was again a quiet day. Hid in the house in air conditioning until around 5pm when the cool change came and Melbourne wasn't too hot for cells to function....had dinner...and gave the car a wash.

Sunday.....picked my sister up from airport.....went home and fell asleep until 4pm...lol....then dinner and grocery shopping before sending the missus back to her home. ahh...relaxing weekends are superb!

BTW guys....Jasermine Gooileris's blogspot is no more! lol.... she's got a new site which i have linked in the sidebar on the left.

now for some updates on the sound system upgrade...:D

Starting with the power cables being wired up to the distribution block

Then the Ground cables...2amps and 1 equalizer... used the red because i ran out of brown ones :P

Once wiring was done, everything was put back in place. Sorry for crapt phone pictures

New spacers for the mid-bass...made from PVC pipe instead of MDF...fits like a glove!

Oh....i also ripped off my side skirt on saturday....it was dodgily installed by a panel beater 2 years ago and now the double sided tapes are giving way <-- most likely due to the extreme heat in Melbourne lately...so its side skirtless right now:

Left : Before....with the dropping side skirt....RIGHT: After....side skirts removed.

Thats it for today....nx post will be on Boxing day purchases....:D Enjoy the rest of yr Monday guys!and girls~
