Sometimes when you tried too hard whether you're trying to be someone you're not or just to fit in to this realistic society, you're just gonna wear yourself out.
You to just be who you are. They'll just gonna have to accept you for who you are. Who cares. I live happily. Who cares if I wasn't socially accepted? Why do I have to follow the so-called society opinion of how I dress, how I talk, how I walk?
If you don't like how I dress, would you buy me clothes?
If you don't like how I talk, would you sit and teach me how to ?
If you don't like how I walk, would you carry me?
Rather than just covering one side of your face and talking about how other people are not as good as you think you are, why not telling them directly so they know or acknowledge, but leave it to them whether to follow your advice or not?
Just random thought. I know I'm gonna sound like hypocrite for this post. But that's just what I thought of. One of the random thoughts moment. :)

work & play @ penang
Phew, just got back from a tiring but adventurous trip at Penang!
It's been a while since I went for a random unplanned food adventure with Jonathan ever since he went for work in Canada. Boo. Oh! Did I mention that he's back? YESSSS.. My darling is back in KL! Anyway, I got quite a last minute trip to client's site at Penang on Thursday.
The option given to me was to take a return flight or to drive there. I was actually quite reluctant to go there just because I'll be out of my comfort zone and I didnt really want to take a cab around simply because I don't like taxi. Just my personal prejudice. Sorry if it's offensive. So I took the second deal where I asked to stay a night earlier and extend another night later and drive myself there. And dragged Jon along with me!
I was on leave on Wednesday so happens because it was our couple anniversary. ☺️ So we went ahead to Penang. That night for dinner, I brought Jon to my family usual dinner spot, Jelutong night market where there are lots of hawker stalls since I wanted to bring this 3-months-Canadian to enjoy our local food. Saw and greeted my uncle who was there packing up his stall. Must be good business for his Claypot Chicken Rice for closing his stall so early!
I introduced Jon to Hokkien Mee which was good there and my favourite Duck Kuey Teow Soup(Didn't take any photo.. We were too hungry) . We enjoyed the eclipse of the moon while having our noodles! Before heading back to hotel, we bought fried belacan chicken skin to munch on our way back.
Day 2: I head to work client's site and work goes as usual for me, except Lunch time where Alvin brought me to meet up with our Syntronic Penang colleagues! Alvin really helped me a lot during this trip to Penang, keeping me comfortable while John is busy having his training. Thanks, Alvin! That being said, our meeting got delayed to 5pm, ended at 7pm. I was glad that I drove there actually. Give me so much flexibility on my time.
Day 3: The highlight of the day was the team lunch and dinner with my babe! We had lunch at Queensbay mall at a Chinese restaurant. I feel sorry for Yet Zhen though. She coordinate for us even though she wasn't feeling well.
Didn't manage to capture the full dishes because everyone can't wait to dig in!
Back to office where coincidentally they have a appreciation tea break. Food again! And it was arranged right in front of my cubicle! Though I can't see the food, I can SMELL IT! And I got swiss roll!! Apparently it's a boss treat. I don't know which boss though =X
That night I adventured with Jon to look for ikan bakar at batu maung! I heard from my ex manager that it was good, so we gave it a try. IT WAS GOOD! The price was decent.
Worth the travel. =D
Day4: "What do you want to eat?" that has always been a tough question when you have no particular craving. Since Jon has laksa in his list, I suggested asam laksa! Tips and reviews on Foursquare is really helpful! We got to know Air Itam's laksa opens at 11:15 which is out of our schedule. So we planned for Balik Pulau's. Not too bad. They have 2 different flavours for a bowl of RM3.50 for a small one.
The normal asam laksa,
Siam laksa. Or you can choose mixed. We ordered Ambrah juice with sour plum too!
Anyway, that was the end of the trip adventure! And all the way back home I was quite sleepy and I'm glad it rained. It wasn't so hot and it keeps me focused!.
Ok, sleep. Dad asked me to go for jog tomorrow. But but... I've already used up my exercise quota for the year!!
