July 10, 2009

Penang for the food. A 3d2n affair, we flew from jb withh airasia. Internal flights were very impressive with the punctuality and smooth flight.

When we land upon the tropical island, cheewei brought us around, our foodie guide and great company. So first stop was dim sum at sen heng. Alot of prawn infused dim sum. Then we went to botanical gardensto whittle some time before lunch. 

At the botanical gardens we posed with hydrant man.

After a mad fiasco last night and a morning that didn’t turn out so good TGIF is the only saving grace. Unless, of course it is dampened by the foreboding test of significant weightage in five days.

Sought solace in bending wires. I need all the self-therapy I can get. In pleasant news, NUS won the basketball match against HKU. It was a surprise. The match was a gritting excitement of close tie and aggressiveness. Amirul deciphered in between the technical parts that we didn’t understand.

We returned back at 1. Don’t know if the close proximity was actually a good thing. We walked the distance in cold night. This morning I felt groggy and bad. Lack of sleep however chronic never take to good adapting. I enjoyed pbl.

Got back, slept somemore.
