Transitions
I've been to overseas! Penang... meh
Haha. Well it still is a terrific journey after one and a half year absence, nothing much has changed along the streets and good foods are still everywhere to be seen.
Trip made up of mostly length bus journeys and artery-clogging cuisines, also the first time I ever felt better sleeping on a bed outside home - guess that travel bugs really biting in me.
Nutmeg juice actually tastes great. I'm now home out of dough O.O

2009
December 31, 2009
I started today with a bumpy ride home - in a train where the carriage is wrong, the train driver is wrong and even its passengers are wrong. Anyway at least I'm back for new year :)
Still am surprised for not writing my year-end notes, a self-tradition start since 2007. 2009 to me is like another rocky chapter in life, although at some point I went drifted away, however I'd like to have 'em all again if were given chance to repeat it - with no exceptions.
Gaining confidence I'd never think of bearing and responsibilities not too heavy, but enough to give room for improvement I felt ever alive. Remembering how dead I was back in time, before I took up pre-u studies in new school suppose a change in environment is actually what I need. So I travelled a lil more this year - it really works.
Along the trips I had for the year I've been speaking to extra people, knowing friends with whom we'll never exchange details even by name, offered blessings and their simplest love to life, through what they see and seek from day to day.
Jenny the Thai stallkeeper I patronized in Penang, Daud who runs Kancil Guesthouse of Malacca, supposedly single teacher who serve not-so-yummy cendols at no.1 Jonker street but I still liked her, Kak Siew Noi a schoolguard cum fulltime mom and cat bearer - serves ever great meal, Mdm Lim who actually teaches me on freedom of speech by conducting healthy debates - although I've always got lost with points and started firing blindly, Aimee whose words never fail to make me laugh yet at certain point proves reasonable, Huey who shares incessant love through her pictures and blog post, and the list goes on. They pushed me to learn and see things in better light.
It’s a year of books and readings, photo outing, healthy acquaintances and self-conflicts. Wish I could get more out of those but seems they’ll only be available next year.
新年快乐 - Wide new year smiles

Daud
Who runs the Kancil Guest House of Malacca, be it a lil far from the hotspots and not so pedestrian friendly way there, it still is a great place to stay.
Like my second home :)
Honestly I was rather afraid of this man, during my first stay. Didn't get to talk much apart from room-related stuffs but glad we've got to chat a lil regarding his guesthouse and the town before leaving for Johor.
He doesn't seem to love the place anymore, which is so over-popularized and developed that we'd came up with similar idea where Malacca is no longer the sleepy historic it used to be. Where are the bull carts running round dataran pahlawan, or why the heck are those trishaws blasting Lady Gaga's Poker Face on the road?
Thanks for the coffee :)
