I promised all of you I will update about my trip to Penang for the Cheng Beng festival right? Well, here it is!
On Saturday (29th March 2008) after I came back from school, I started packing my bag for Penang. We left the house around 2 pm++, and reached Penang about 5 pm. We grabbed a bite at the New World Park. I ate... ais-kacang. Tempting? Oh yes, it tasted like heaven. *smirks* We checked-in at The Northam hotel after eating and took a 3-hour rest in our luxurious hotel room (dad booked a buisness suite, I think). It's huge, like what I told you in my previous post. =)
We left our hotel room about 8.10 pm for Gurney Drive to have dinner there. Ah, the place where original Penang food is served. xD After dinner, we walked to the Gurney Plaza to do some light-shopping. Went to a bookfair there, bought a few books (like D-U-H!) and went to Tower Records to look for the "Jonas Brothers" album. Sadly, there's no stock. T.T There's one thing for sure that I don't understand: why does the "Jonas Brothers" album is selling fast in Malaysia when their songs are not aired on Malaysian radios often? It's kinda weird though... Sis got The Beatles CD that she wanted. She's satisfied, I'm not. >.<>
Woke up late the very next day. =S We were suppose to meet up with my relative at the coffee shop he works at for breakfast at 9.30 am. But we woke up at 9.32 am, and reached there late for breakfast. After eating the oh-so-famous Penang prawn noodles at the coffee shop, dad drove us to the cemetery to pray. We were stuck in a jam on the way top the cemetery. And... A motorcyclist was knocked by an unknown reckless driver. I think he hurt his wrist and leg. And that driver didn't even bother to send him to the hospital. The motorcyclist tried to ride his motorcycle home, but he struggled as he had injured his wrist and leg. That, gave me a huge shock. By the time we reached the cemetery, it was smokey and crowded with a sea of humans. My great grandfather wasn't buried, instead, his body was burnt and the ashes was kept in a jar and placed in this special building for the ashes. That place was crowded, people speaking in Hokkien pushing around, holding joss sticks and bags of papers to be burnt. My eyes were watery the second I stepped into the building.
I was glad as soon as we left that building cause my eyes looked very teary. Some mistaken me for crying. LOL. Dad drove us to my great grandma's house after praying. ZOMG. As soon as you step your feet in the porch of the huge bungalow house, the first thing you'll see is CARS. Cars, plural, with the letter "S". A Ferari F430 Spider, 2 Wolkswagon Beetle, a Porsche and a BMW X5 (the 4 wheel drive one). I was like, whoa! Although I've been there millions of times, everytime I stepped into the bungalow's porch, I'll go ooooh-ing and aaaahhh-ing, literally. My great grandma is in her 90's already, still healthy, but she can't walk and she has hearing problems. And boy, she is seriuosly pretty. I bet she looked way prettier during her younger days. And, she's a very fussy old woman. She kept giving me and sis advices about life and she even tell the both of us not to couple first! Well, she's sure a cute lil' old woman. xP She misses us dearly and everytime we visit her she'll be smiling happily. That touches me deep down in my heart. =')
We left my great-grandma's house about 1 pm for lunch. She made her way from her room to the front door just to send us off. She struggled to walk to the front door, but with patience and determination, she managed to send us off, clinging on the door grill to support herself. That made me teared. Seriously, she's a very good woman and she deserves to live a very long life.
After mi goreng for lunch, we left Penang. The traffic starts picking up before we reached Perak. And we reached home at 8 pm+ after the long 6-hour drive. Grandma got carsick; me, sis and mom got a bad headache; dad, well, he's the one driving, so he was feeling okay. I slept after eating poridge that mom made. End of the day for me. Tiring, bad headache and upset stomach.

I'm losing my appetite again. It's frustrating cause when I'm hungry and I wanna eat, I will eventually lose my appetite when I see food. I don't know what's wrong with me, and about me not eating made my parents frustrated and worried. They thought that I'm dieting. For God's sake, no, I'm not dieting. I wanna eat, but everytime I see food, I just lose my appetite.

From Joe Jonas to the Jonas Brothers, now I'm so in love with the 3 brothers!!!! Lalalalalalalalalala~ xD
Joe. The lead singer. The "middle" Jonas. My man. The hottie. The humourous character. Plays the guitar, tambourine and keyboards. :D
Kevin. The pro guitarist. The oldest. The brother who has the killer-smirk. The baby-faced cutie. My inspiration because of his guitar skills. =P
Nick. The oh-so-cute brother. Talented boy who plays the guitar, piano and drums. The brother who has the nice voice. =)***********************************************************************
I watched E! News this morning and found out that the rumour might be true.
JOE JONAS IS DATING CHELSEA STAUB
I went nuts. I was screaming my head off, literally. I saw a pic of the both of them holding hands in Santa Monica, California on the 30th March recently (Sunday). But in http://www.joe-jonas.com/, they said that Joe's not dating her. I hope that's true... Oh, here's the damn pic which made me went nuts, literally.
Spot the hand? Oh, well... As long as he's happy, I'm happy too. *sighs* =').:.:.:.:$[u]E t[E]nG:.:.:.:.
I'm so into songwriting now. *grins*
