    guess, this year is my holiday year.

    after long trip and being frustrated not being able to get to Niagara Falls, i made my way to...oh ya, was in Tallinn, capital of Estonia!

    just got back from my hometown. main reason to go back, DURIAN. be it one of the most disgusting smell, taste, fear factor's facto, i couldn't give a damn. I LOVE DURIAN. had lil bit way too much! Nanie had to calm me to stop bulldozing one fruit after another.

    don't bet on my breath!

    short break and of course, never enough time to explore Penang. here i mean the real paradiso of Penang island. the food. way too many restaurants. places of interest, of course, you could have done it within a day or two, MAX.

    i love my kampung. right by the beach. soothing-or toiiiinnnggg!if u spend too much time in super cool Sunset Bistro.       DSCN4374 DSCN4359

    was very happy to meeting up with my ex schoolmates. very very short mini reunion (impromptu) with Erin and Jannah brought the durian over at Bikha's place.-Bikha called her mom asking how to prep pulut (sticky rice).

    Nanie, starts to eat durian n starting to enjoy it. eeeyyyaaahhhhooooo.

    reminiscent of good "younger" days, brought back mega laughter and all the tricks and scores and jinxes and whatever supposed to be only you and you only, revealed. bwaahaa haa ALAMAK, i totaly forgotten to snap any photos together. damn it. too excited with the durian, plus before the durian session in the evening, had super huge seafood dinner in tanjong tokong. yeap, i survived the fresh, SHELLFOOD!

    minor traffic jam entering Penang Bridge due to bottle neck system and of course, during peak hour.

    Erin was extremely nice, bringing us 10 bijik of durian and bought the styrofoam casing not forgetting the masking tape. the king of fruit, however many things we put to "supposedly" absorb the pungent smell, be it in sealed styrofoam container, pandan leaves, breads, the smell, ada lagi bau..

    arrived safely without headache. 

    Nanie drove all the way. my driving licence, expired!

    yawn. eyes getting heavy, tried to upload my pics but connection very slow. tired...will do it when i get back from Sydney.
