This Penang Trip

So it was 4 days after Christmas. Now that I remember, seeing the date on the edited pink tortoise picture(for this is an unforgivable LATE post). It was another cannot-afford-anywhere-further-but-we-still-need-a-holiday trip, to Penang. So since there's nothing much other than the non-exciting slithering reptilians in a temple, the sleeping buddha, the bridge? and more temples... there is of course (the best of all things in Penang) -> F O O D.

But honestly... there really isn't much to say about them other then muttering "good, good. very nice." while spitting bits of food from my mouth when eating the famous kuey teow, laksa, cendol, (you name it). There is something more, something better and unforgettable about this trip.

Dad's friend from Penang, Uncle Tony met up with us (my family and I). Brought us around for the best Hou Jien (fried oyster) and what not. And then, he mentioned about having 3 kids. 2 girls and a boy. 3, 4 and 5. "Do-Re-Mi" he said. I don't dislike kids. Not anymore at least. I have grown to love them, especially after I started tutoring. But I still don't fancy 'every' kid. You just can't. Trust me. But then he said to me with utmost assurance in his tone, Uncle Tony, "I am sure you will love them".
And I did. We all did.

2 beautiful girls, Francesca, Eveanna (not sure how to spell her name) Geez, why didn't i ask her? stupid. And Clarence (the little one)


This is Francesca. The eldest, sweet, very obedient, a very good girl. (above)

Absolutely unforgettable.
