Lone Pine Hotel, Penang

So I got married last November, and took some days off for honeymoon. Since we’re broke like we always do, we opted to go somewhere very, very near. Like, a 30-minute-drive-from-home near.

Actually, it’s still quite expensive. But at least we don’t have to spend on airfares and such. Anyway, the place was great! It’s the kind of place where you know that you’re not the only one there, but it feels like the whole place only belongs to yourself. Reception was excellent, the place was quiet (luckily bukan musim cuti), room was simple but felt luxurious, and the best part was the balcony with a bathtub! Hehe. Don’t know la how you’re going to mandi-manda at the balcony, but I’m sure when you get there, you’ll figure that out by yourself.

The only downside I can think of is the breakfast spread was not as extensive as I would’ve hoped. Western tak berapa banyak choice. But they do serve koay teow goreng made to order, and it’s one of the best koay teow goreng I’ve tasted my entire life. Seriously. Rugi tak ambik gambar.

Yang lain, excellent! Takde cacat cela langsung.

	A song with an ‘addictive’ element (hook, melody, lyric) that draws people into listening multiple times. Song doesn’t have to be good or bad, it just needs to have that ‘addictive’ element.

Ada orang cakap dia ni fake, takde identiti. But who cares, eh? Just ignore her unnaturally pouty lips, and enjoy the music :)

 

Awek Malaysia berhijab. She’s cool, but I wonder where she campak her guitar? Dah macam retis hip hop. Nak pulak bila dengar lagu yang sama tapi versi yang lain. Takpelah, yang pentingnya lagu ni memang best.

And with that, my 3+months stay in Shah Alam is nearly concluded. You just can’t imagine how relieved I feel right now. The past 1 and a half month especially has been really challenging. Starting December, I only had the chance to take 6 days off. Weekends? Pbffft! What weekends?!

I might be here after the long holiday, or I might not. That’s for the management to decide.

Right now I’m just concerned how would I manage living apart from my husband. We were ‘lucky’ that I had to stay here for work right after we got married. Yes, I did say ‘lucky’, because it is a double edged sword. It’s good that I get to stay with my husband; it’s bad that I had to work like there’s no tomorrow.

I guess by now I’m already accustomed to having a companion.

Right from the start, we did agree that this is going to be a long distance relationship. Well, at least until one of us pull up roots and join the other in a totally new environment. But no matter how long we talked about this, no matter how hard we try to convince ourselves that this is going to be alright; at least on my part, I know that I can never be fully prepared when the time comes.

Though I guess, we’re not that unfortunate lah, because what separates us is just a 4-hour drive. Bukannya lautan api yang membara pun. Tapi aku nak bermanja dengan sapa weeiiii lepas ni?? Huhu…
