The Pearl of Orient - Checked! [Pulau Pinang Travel]

Been there done that. I just arrived from the 'Pearl of Orient' but hardly find the pearl sold like in our local filipino market in Kota Kinabalu. Some may thought I went to Thailand or Myanmar with all the temple design especially who roughly no idea what Penang have. I can't deny to one of Hitz.Fm commercial says why we must travel out of country while we have a lot of thing to see in Malaysia? With my resolution this year, I wish to travel more but on budget wise and decide to visit any state that I have not been before. On 22nd of April, Good Friday, I had to rush to the airport after drop to send my work. Thank God I manage to catch my flight that afternoon and almost break my neck sleeping in the aeroplane. The journey from KK to Penang is about 2 hours and 45 mins.

Friends are forever. This is the value of having a good friends around the world. As I arrived Penang Internation Air Airport approximately around 8pm, KC and his wife have been waiting and gave a warm welcome upon my arrival. Then we head to the nearest Thai restaurant and had my first dinner in Penang. After the special meals, they drop me to my hotel @ Tune, Downtown for check in and then continue our journey again exploring Penang. We went to Gurney Drive which situated along Persiaran Gurney as you can see a few people with their friends, some couples and families hang out and enjoying some street performance. There are a lot of thing you can see here. You can have your snacks or dinner at the hawker stalls opposite the drive way. So convenient but always keep your valueable things safe because snatch thief are quite famous nowadays. About 1 o'clock, we decided to go back and have a rest and continue again the next day. I want to put all the stories here but I am too tired right now and hopefully can continue again tomorrow.

Bukan Senang Bukan Susah

Sya terlampau banyak berfikir dalam beberapa bulan ni, sampai produktiviti saya sendiri agak terganggu. My english gone bad and everything turn upside down and I start imagine extraordinary smart and wild. Start with The Gender issue. Now I thought of Bukan Senang Bukan Susah lah pula. Let share what you thought against my thought juga. Here are some of what I can assume as Bukan Senang Bukan Susah in our life.

Bukan Senang buat baik Bukan Susah buat jahat - Common quote

My version suka hati sya lah..

a) Bukan senang dapat lesen bukan susah eksiden
b) Bukan senang dapat kerja bukan susah kena buang kerja
c) Bukan senang buat assignment bukan susah main facebook
d) Bukan senang dapat anak bukan susah mau buat anak
e) Bukan senang universiti bukan susah mau escape kelas
f) Bukan senang mau kurus bukan susah mau gumuk
g) Bukan senang minum 8 gelas 1 hari bukan susah mau kasi habis 1 crate beer dalam 2 jam
h) Bukan senang tanam padi bukan susah makan nasi
i) Bukan senang jadi photographer bukan susah beli camera
j) Bukan senang jadi orang bukan susah jadi hantu

Renung-renunglah kehidupan kamu sendiri sebelum menilai kehidupan orang lain. Kemungkinan kehidupan mereka penuh dengan beban yang kita sendiri tidak tahu. Beri peluang untuk orang lain dan ambil berat dengan diri sendiri dahulu.

The New Obsession

I have a new obsession since few weeks. Sleep a lot and This is a sign of I have nothing to do and gaining my sleep debt back! ;) My life has been quite difficult this few months, but I take it as a challenge of living and fix the fragile stuff. Career is the most important part in my life after my family. Personal and business cannot me mixed up together. Unless it is a family business, nevertheless, professionally you have to be fair to each other and follow the rules provided. My manager called up and ask me a few questions that shows my commitment in my career has been too low and I need an improvement and fierce of handling my position. I am so glad that I have a very understanding manager and be tolerate to his workers. Thank you boss for waking me up!
