Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover, Penang.

Its just a cause for celebration, end of the year, my wife's birthday and new year 2013, so Penang it is. I've been here several times, but not as feast-full as this time. Its heaven, some says, to eat or its a wasteful visit. Its not really encouraging, at first, until you've sits, and enjoy, then you'll be grateful you've been there in your life. 

Great thing doesn't really comes in good packages. If it is, I won't get a taste of Transfer St. Roti Canai. Yes. Its Heaven. Why? I haven't found that anywhere else in this peninsular. No. This addiction should be in the menu for all Mapley's in the world. Its not because of the great Roti Canai, its simply because of its soup. Kuah Kari Dhal + Ayam / Daging / Kambing + Sambal + Ganja kot = Greatness. 

Roti Canai Kari Dhal Sambal Ayam Jalan Transfer, Penang 

The stall located just by the road side. Quite dangerous, yet the crowd loves it. This crowd actually drive us to get a taste. Its like any other Malaysian-like habit, when there is 1 car parked at a sign that tells you not to park, then crowd follows ignoring the sign. Simple rules. But this time, you get a stomach-full, not a ticket-fool! 

Another thing, we always heard of people not to believes in banners which claim that their good is the best, is awesome, but in Penang, you'll regret it if you don't. 

Restoran Yunus Khan

I saw this and it tickles me, how silly a person would be just to ate instant noodle after crossing 3 states? Therefore, I took this picture to tell the world that this is ridiculous statement - Special Food : Maggi Goreng & Maggi Goreng Tom Yam. It is a disaster to know that this Yunus Khan is making the best Maggi Goreng & Maggi Goreng Tom Yam IN THE WORLD! I wouldn't have known if we didn't stop by to visit some friends that are locals. It was a mistake to stop by actually. Now, I'm haunted and feel of unease with regret. I'll ate you soon when I'm there, later this year.

As we all know, Penang is Chinese-led states in Malaysia, and as far as I'm concerned, the states is filled with Chinese. Not to mentioned, the local delicacies has blend with Chinese taste. 

Kue Tiaw Th'ng & Set Cucur

This is how I get my first Kue Tiaw Th'ng. I have this just because of its name, don't know where it came from, yet the taste not like its the only Th'ng. 

Plenty of others, I just couldn't named it. Just go to Penang, its a food tour. And please be sure, don't underestimate the location to eat, it might just be the BEST IN THE WORLD! And watch out. You might just gained plenty of weight. If not, it's a failed journey. Have a taste of everything. Take extra cautious that it is Halalan Toiyiban.

It will be great!

DON'T DO THIS!

Yesterday was another 34 minutes of 4.3KM run at the side of the man-made lake. It was slow and tiring run which I did not expect as the rain was pouring when I arrived. I decided to perform my Asar first before went back and fetch my baby. And then, the rain stops. Quickly get change and run before its dark. 

It was cool, as the breeze of the post-rain slapping your face while running, which, should have, boosted the motivation to run faster than usual. Yet, I couldn't because I stuffed my belly with, plenty I should say, of KEPOK LEKOR, during the meeting an hour before that. So I ran slow, with good average momentum, as usual. 

Until I saw THESE!

Things that should be banned at the Jogging Course:

1. Married couple taking pictures, posing & kissing all over the place, with just married attire which shows cleavage. Is this really necessary to be held at a joggers spot?

2. Unmarried couple sitting on the bench (I know because married couples merely do this), with office shirt on, sitting closed together, and I don't know what happens when no one runs by.

3. Man and Women (I don't want to assume what are their status) runs together, holding hands, laughing, and tell the whole world they were the happiest couple in the world and were meant to be together. We're glad to know that.

4. Strollers, with jeans, and slippers. Please, walk some other time or some other place, Alamanda would be much more suitable.

5. Picnicking. Come on. Is this really needed? Go to the beach, waterfall, or anywhere else. You don't picnic to see others in sweaty shirts and tights. Its only for us runners. Its not suitable for the whole family.

Except for the construction nearby that really irritates my sights, those are the thing that should be removed from the jogging spots. Its not only causes distractions to our focus, but also its making the place to crowded until the air is not enough for us joggers. So folks, please keep off our fields. 

Sincerely

Slowjogger

The Wanted $

Come of late, I quite frequently be at this state, a state where, bank account that show withdrawal limits, yet, my shopping list keep on growing. Why is that? I don't know. Maybe its a sign of aging. Like wrinkle, the line appears to be numbered and countless each day, even with the most expensive of soap we put on. I know, I'm not the only one, each one of us has been, recently, or currently, at the moment, experiencing the same exact phenomena. It is good to be rich. You don't have to think about tomorrow. But, there's no thrill to that. Work something out. It'll come. Patient is key. (SODAPKAN HATI JO!)

                  

 

I admit, this is not far to catch, yet, I need to think about tomorrow. Why? Because I don't have a bank which won't show my withdrawal limits. But its OK. This is not far. Not too far. Not that far. Just within range. Just.
