I am looking forward to go back to SG. I miss my mum, dad, dearest siblings, relatives, friends, food, fun, food, fun, food, food and more food. Well... I know I can cook but I am lazy. And also I do not like to cook leceh-to-cook food you know.
Like my sister Linda said, Food in Penang is like in Heaven. Yeah rite! As if you have been to heaven. Well...I can say that it's a food paradise but I prefers Home-Cooked-Food. That means my mum's, my mother-in-law's and my aunties' cooking. yummy! Eh! Masakan mak kan sedap. Mak siapa yg masak tak sedap huh?
But when we go back to SG kan, me and dearest beloved hubby would miss :-
1) Durian - Balik Pulau is our favourite hangout during the durian May/June season. Eating durian under the shed, surrounded with durian trees... ahhhh.. That is Heaven!
2) Ikan Terubuk - Jln Tg Tokong. Our usual Sunday brunch. Yes, ikan terubuk every weekend for us. Don't jealous ok. So what if there are thousand of bones sticking out! Thats the shiokest part.
3) The beautiful scenery from our condo. Serene atmosphere, calming sea-view - we didnt get to see the tsunami when it hit Penang thats why. Can see the Cruise ships passing by. Eagles and swallows flying in the evening....ahhhh so lovely...
4) The stressful and irritating traffic jam. kuang kuang kuang....
5) Our next door neighbour fighting and yelling at each other...some marital problem i think. Cannot make out what they were always shouting or screaming about cause its in Hokkien. Darn! hheheh.. Concerned neighbour lah...
6) Kids school asking for money! Money for concert, for video, for easter day celebration, for excursion - up to RM500??!!! and that is to Langkawi! huh! To watch my son perform at the school concert, I have to pay RM25 per person. What did my son get from that?? An ice-lolly! Nice! An additional marks for his exam?? No! And if I want to buy the video, that is RM70! Great!
7) Our monthly groceries shopping... we have a choice of Giant, Tesco, Carrefour or in case of emergency... Cold Storage.
8) Our condo swimming pool. In Sg, HDB tak ada swimming pool lah dehhh!
9) Rain! Cause when it's going to rain, we could actually see the clouds folding... moving fast and the skies get dark.... ohhhhhhh and when the wind starts to blow, its like those movies you watch, the sound of the wind howling...uuuuuhhhhhh... ahahhaha... and I'll be the one shivering. Scared the balcony glass door collapse cause of the strong wind.
10) Driving up to Batu Ferringhi... Scenery is beautiful!!
I don't drive in Penang. I can drive but I do not want to. There are so many "courteous" drivers here. I also try not to cross the roads here cause the roads are very "pedestrian friendly". Even when the "GreenMan" appears, I would make sure no cars beat the redlight. And zebra-crossing... huh, you have to wait for the zebra to cross, only then these cars would stop.
Despite having this strong urge to go back to Sg, I would miss Penang. At times, whenever my sisters complained to me about problems at home (which family have no problem??), I just don't feel like coming back home... the further the better... peace! ahaha.. But I can't run away for very long. Being the eldest sister, back home, any problem, all my siblings will turned their face to me. HUH! Me again! Yeah! Because you are the only talkative, busybody, problem-solver and peace-maker at home mahh... ishhhh

I heard Penang's a nice place.. Been planning with Hubby to drive up there one day.. Jus aking.. ur hubby's working there is it??
yes. he worked for 3 yrs. We came back last year July. Its a nice place to live but not for holiday if you are going with kids. Nothing much there to entertain them. We simply love the food there though...
