Brussels sprouts back to me

Dear Bee,

  I must have woke up on the wrong side of the bed today with some crazy emo hormones running through me. Otherwise I must be bipolar - feeling so differently at every minute that you will be grateful that you are so far away now. It must be one of those days that deep inside me I am crumbling and all I just wanna do is crawl into a cocoon, snuggle and live in my world of bubbles and rosiness where everything is nice and sweet and fluffy. Yes, shut the world out. Shut out the reality that no matter how much I try to achieve, I still will never be good enough in some ways. And that no matter how great an advocate I may be someday, I still am daddy's little girl, gullible and naive, always wanting to believe that the World is make out of people who will be nice to us if we are nice to them.

 Today I ain't not that tough and I just want you to be here, to sing to me, and tell me your funny stories. As I wipe tears off my tear stained cheeks, I thought of those times when we used to sit and laugh for hours at the silly attempts to outdo each other for being funnier than the other. But as the images flashes across my mind, my heart aches even more. It makes me misses you and I cling on a tiny spark of hope - hoping for things to be how it used to be when it was all dandy and nice.

Sadly, the hustle and bustle of life has kept you away. Life still needs to go on even when one of us feels crappy. The world does not stop spinning on it axis just because I want it to. Time and time again, I keep coming back to this spot where I feel, I haven't grown up. I haven't become wiser through the years. I haven't gotten smarter through the experience and now, I am on the precipice of not knowing what's right and what's wrong anymore. I have lost all sense of wisdom. Today, I pray for the courage to accept the changes and the faith to believe that all things have to serve a greater purpose.

Love,
Me

our first midautumn

Even when the leaves turn yellow and start falling, even when the nights get longer and the days are shorter, even when the temperature takes a dip and it gets colder, I know I have you to catch the falling leaves, to have and to hold during the nights, to laugh and chatter with during the days, and to cuddle under the covers during the cold nights, keeping each other warmth. Thank you for the lovely surprise. Happy Midautmn darling!

Little Penang

The week zoomed by faster than we could imagine and it was Wednesday again. We did a heritage trail of Penang for the Wednesdays. After work, the weesians gathered at the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion and waited for our "chauffeurs" to pick us up. Smartly clothed in our office attires, looking very out of place, we clambered onto our Trishaws with excitement and off we went on our discovery ride around parts of Penang we never knew. Super Tanker commented how some passersby must be amused by why such smartly dressed people could not afford proper rides. We oohed and ahhed when our Trishaw peddler gave us some lessons in architectural 101.
It was indeed an educational Trishaw ride for us - Penang albeit a small island offers a unique taste of culture and is rich in its heritage. 

Those who are interested or have never been on the trishaw should try it. Its an eye-opening experience. In today's fast pace world that we live in, we often do not have time to stop and appreciate the richness around us until it is gone. Go now, there are plenty of Trishaws awaiting around Penang Road to take you around and you can act all touristy and speak in funny English or Japanese or Korean.






Then we went to have some not-so-nice food at Sri Malaya, Jalan Pintai Tali.




However if you are interested to check out the food and proof us wrong - here're directions to get there.



I do not know why our food did not turn out as mouth watering as you are seeing it on the net.



This is what you see online



This was what you get at the place.

Go try for yourself....

Look to the East - Part III


When one travels East and is not fit enough to hike the highest mountain in Malaysia nor super adventurous to venture through swamps or engage in any activities that makes you sweat, you do what the Weesians do best - Binge eat. Coming to Sarawak is not complete without trying its local delights of which I hereby present to you a barrage of what we thrown into our tummys in Kuching.
