To make sure I get my fill of Penang food, Seng and I went out this morning to eat Char Kuay Teow. We came here during the last trip, and this is the first time this trip I actually ordered Char Kuay Teow. During the week, Kong Chan and I had shared a plate of this delectable dish when we went to the New World Park.
This vendor is quite famous, and by the size of the plate (he only gives you have a plateful of food), you can tell he is making big bucks. We wolfed down the plate, and ordered another one to share.
For fun, we went down to Komtar around noon, and bought a couple of wireless mouse (mice?) and a Chinese DVD of the movie "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slayer Sabre". I must have owned four or five versions of this movie, but it seems this is the only story I can sit down, and watch until I finish. This box contains 16 DVD. My previous version contains 32 VCDs, but I will sit down and watch it day after day until I finish it.
For lunch, we went back to Four Seasons. We have Loon and Lilian, Sui Fun and Peter, and mom with us. Seng took the pictures in his camera phone, because I didn't have my camera with me, so no pictures for the blog.
Today is new year for the Malays, so most of the shops and schools are closed. Upstairs from the restaurant is a dance studio. In fact, it is where Theng2 goes to dance lessons. Because of the school closing, the
teacher puts up a notice, something like this:Loon thought about it all through lunch. Finally, he can't stand it anymore. He had to ask for a pen, and corrected the notice:
and had a good laugh over this.
We all came back to the house after dinner, where we started our beer drinking. Loon regaled us with stories of Phoon, and how she went underground with the War Lord's money, and how she ended up as a laborer down under.
When Theng2 showed up, Loon told us of an idea he hatched up. Seng's house is quite hard to find unless you know the area. So, one day, he noticed some sign board someone put up for directions: "Mohamed's wedding this way" with an arrow pointing the way. So, for Theng2, he is going to make up some life-sized cut-outs of Theng2, pointing one way or another, with the words saying "Theng2's wedding this way". He will put these cut-outs strategically at road-junctions all around the area, pointing the way to the house. At the front of the house, he will have a cut-out of Theng2 with both hands extended, saying "Welcome!".
We all thought that was a pretty funny idea. Theng2, we can't wait until you get married.
I will be leaving the house around 7 PM, arrive at the air port around 7:10PM, and the plane should leave around 8:30PM for KL. I will not be able to complete this blog until I get to Boston. See you all at home.
