Its been a while

Its been almost a month since i last update my blog. Not busy but lazy and had no idea what to write here.

Anyway, last Saturday which was 28th February, me and some of my friends attended the Star Education Fair at Penang. Me, Lew, CheeL, Kok, JG, Gus went there by bus, FM with Mr.Ong and his family. Bus departed at 9, reached Butterworth at around 10.20, bought ticket back to Taiping @ 8.30p.m, rushed to ferry terminal for a ferry ride and finally reached Penang at 11. Lol..as usual Rabbit..ops Rapid Penang is a pain in the ***...almost an hour ride from ferry terminal to PISA (Penang International Sports Arena) where the Star Edu. Fair were held.

Ok, its noon and the 6 of us were there at PISA, it was much bigger and better compare to our Legend Inn education fair..well of course, PISA is a lot bigger than Legend Inn, haha. Went in the main building and the first thing we saw was the "Spin and Win" Star contest sponsored by .... and .... (forgot which company was it..). Simply purchase a copy of The Star newspaper at the booth right beside the spin and win thingy, filled in the form and then u can spin for once. Prizes ranging from notebooks (ordinary notebooks, not laptop..haha) to flight ticket to phuket. There are others such as T-shirts, water container, pendrive and the most tempting are the Ipod Shuffle. FM had 2 forms..and then he spinned twice..twice...got pendrive and Ipod Shuffle..wth..so lucky man..he said even the man there got shocked. Kok won pendrive, jason got his t shirt and notebooks..i bought a copy for myself too..but gave the form to chin instead..he got himself a t-shirt, haha. Walked around, there are lots of universities there..KDU, Sunway, Monash, IMU, INTI and the list goes on. Had my lunch there with JG and Chin, we had rice with sambal chicken..nothing special and it cost RM5, well no complaint though, lol. The food was quite ok but not enough to feed JG..we were darn hungry at that time and it was quite hard to get hold of a place at the miniiiii food court..lol. We left PISA at 2.30 and headed to the nearest and hot bus stop and hoping for a rapid ride, it wasnt that rapid though..we waited for half an hour and yet there were not even a single bus to Queensbay Mall. Disappointing, gave up on rapid when a random bus stopped by and the driver shouted "MARI MARI, QUEENSBAY, MARI NAIK"..all of us rushed in and finally reached Queensbay after about 15 mins ride.

The first place we visit after reaching there was the expensive Arena foodcourt. I dont mind if the food taste good, but its worst than our Taiping Tesco Foodcourt, not to mention the ugly price of it. Some ate rice, i had spaggeti, kok bought sushi. Met FM later on and then dumped him behind at the foodcourt..mwahhaha..we then went to Borders because FM BOMBED me that there was this X-Pack girls at there. (Lazy to elaborate more on the X-pack girl story..it was months ago when we last saw her at borders). What a liar..lol. There were 2 computers stationed at borders for searching purposes..you type in what book u want, and a list of it together with the price will appear, so chin proceeded to "play" with 1 of the comps..at the search box..he typed..h..o..r..and JG kinda like shouted..HORNY?? but actually he wanted to type horror..we laughed like hell, luckily there wasn't any girls or guys around us that time. Then we walked around borders..reading some books. Afterthat went to a place called...(i forgot) was it harvey norman? or something similar..that place was mainly for electronics stuff..plasmas, laptops, comps, etc etc. Then at 6, went to a restaurant name Kim Gary..a HK-ish style restaurant..and we had to queue up ~_~..the food was damn nice according to chin but 1 thing i hate bout this restaurant is that you have to tick ur foods and drinks on the paperS provided..not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 papers..wth, the problems of too much varieties. The food was much better compare to the foodcourt but yeah, its more expensive though..by a little..its still reasonable. It was raining heavily that time and we're afraid that we can't get to the bus stop or the ferry service might stop/delay due to the heavy rain..luckily it stopped and we managed to board a super-ultra-pack rapid bus..ass touching ass according to lew..zzz

The day ended here..waiting for the bus till 8.20 then it departed at 8.30, reached Taiping at around 9.45. It's been a long time since we went outstation together..it was fun. Tired..KO-ed at 11 that night.
