I got a surprise in the mail today

Baru dapat surat ni pagi tadi. Tengok luar sampul ada cop ‘Universiti Teknologi MARA Perlis’. Dalam hati, “eh, ada apa-apa hutang dekat depa ni ka yang aku terlupa nak bayaq?”

Bila bukak sampul…. Well, well… whaddaya know. Mungkin salah aku kot tak pegi tuntut sijil ni awal-awal. Tapi tu lah… aku taktau pun sijil ni wujud! Glad that I finally get to keep this in my ever so thin folder sijil kecemerlangan. Hahaha. Though it’s ten years late…

Panggilan Pulau

Walaupun laut mu tidak membiru,

Walaupun tidak lena tidurku berperang dengan nyamuk,

Walaupun night-life mu mungkin sama level je dengan pekan dekat kampung aku,

Tapi,

aku suka,

sebab kamu bagi aku alasan,

untuk duduk rilek saja tanpa buat apa-apa.

In conclusion, will definitely revisit Pangkor kalau ada can :)


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.
