My friends and I enjoyed Penang and most importantly the food in Penang *nom nom nom*

Happy Friday peeps!!! I just wanna let you know that I will be going back to Penang next year again and that will be by third year running. I had a very fulfilling trip and I bonded with people whom I wasn’t close too and the conversations were interesting too. This shows expanding your circle of friends can bring some flavour to the mix and even give some new dimensions to the level of conversation.

Today I feel appreciative of my friends especially my close ones who have always bring joy and giving me some awareness on new things I would simply discover through my friends’ experiences and from there, we will be able to appreciate what we have and focus more of the present (neither the past nor the present). So thank you guys for showing up and empowering one another.

During my Penang trip, I lost two of my valuable possessions though they are not expensive in value but they are very dear and in a way priceless to me. So it was kinda a low key moment for me because I was suppose to give three things away that are meaningful to me to the three most important people in my life. It somehow teaches you how to let go off things and you don’t hold too much attachment to it. Now that’s hard to execute, right? But I was already willing to give away my dearest items but I ended up losing them *lol* ironic, aye?

Yesterday I had a challenging chat with my good friend about my opportunities. It’s great to see my friend able to see the potential in me that I’ve so much to offer on the plate right and she believes that I can grow if I just grab those opportunities. Sometimes I ask myself if I’m pretty comfortable in what I do which is just blogging. I do have other things in mind where I could mushroom from the success of my blog.

I hope to start my Panini Sticker Album collection later.. As you can see I’m pretty behind and quite a number of people have already finished their album. But it’s all good since I still can feel the satisfaction of sticking on my album book slowly at my own pace and enjoy every single moment before the deadline. I remember 2 years ago during the World Cup 2010 that I had this urge to finish my album as quickly as possible and I felt proud about it *lol* Now I’m just going with the flow and see where this will lead me.

Before I sign off, I want to wish my good friend, Nisaa Suresh (Bonita), Happy Birthday and I know we did catch up once in a while but I want let you know that you are a true friend. I still remember our eCircle days *lol* and that’s how we get to know each other and it feels that we both graduated into our own lives. So let’s do lunch or dinner again soon.

Below are pictures and recap of my Penang trip with my buddies last week. Enjoy your day and enjoy your weekend.

Joan had an amazing time at Penang. This was taken at BIA boarding room before boarding on Air Asia

As usual, I had my pre-ordered nasi lemak while watching Modern Family 😀

The book where I pour in my thoughts and how my day felt

This soup is interesting because it has small alphabets in it

Every morning we experienced the sunrise by the beach at Golden Sands Resorts

My friends enjoying the back seat

We went to Royal Selangor and did some knocking of our own

I did one for myself with my name written on it

Winnie loves small things so much that she bought a smaller version on what she was holding on her palm

If you were to be in Penang, I highly recommend you to stay at Golden Sands Resort as you will be able to enjoy the facilities at the hotel and also by the beach

I love the hammocks that they have at Golden Sands Resort

At the food court at Gurney Plaza, I had the ice cendol and it was the bomb!!

Joan didn’t like the clothes from Joan *ironic*

What we bought at MPG Book store at Gurney Plaza
