Yes I woke up this morning with that in mind. After about slightly more than 48 hours, I knew it was time to say goodbye to Penang and the strange thing is that while I enjoyed my time here, I don't feel like I am going to miss anything specific
In fact, I had a generally lazy day in my room the whole morning watching old horror flicks ... best time to watch ... so I don't get scared ... hahaha ... I kid you not! I get the willies watching these at night especially if alone ... and since I generally live alone ... o well ...
Foodwise, it was quite straightforward. I skipped breakfast and had a lunch of Jap at the mall. It was a good excuse to stop sweating as my room is like an oven. I tested it by walking down stairs and up again. The difference in temperature was most evident in 3 spots:
(a) First flight of about 10 steps and you can feel at the bend, the heat going up
(b) If I pulled back the curtains in my room, the heat surged in
(c) If I plonked in front of my laptop, I can feel the heat generating from the damn machine
So by the time 6:00pm rolled around, I was glad to get out of the house. We thought to go to the restaurant downtown near the jetty. However, to my utter disappointment, all the dishes I had admired actually tasted quite awful. The pork trotters was overcooked, dried and tasteless sauce. The fish curry was made using powdered curry mix without properly cooking until the oil comes out to give it that nice smell or fragrance and finally, the stuffed eu chia koay was not properly recooked and tasted cold and a bit off already
So sad, right, to put on weight for horrible food
Now I am at the airport ... typing away ... playing games ... and updating my blog!
At the new Starbucks - thank goodness!
