Up, Up Here We Go.

Me: Give me a topic so I can blog about it :)
Vanessa: Me.
Me: Okay. Great idea! I'm gonna dig out all your photos and blog about it! :P
Van: *straight panic*

and for that, give me some time to find photos that will make your day :)

Pastor called me just now and I'm blogging about it because it's like one of the most thank-God-I-answered-the-phone moment! He called and said, "We are not going Sri Sayang d. We finally booked the Penang Hill one!"

Talk about INSTANT MOOD LIFTER! :)

Everyone loves the Bethel House of Prayer! Three nights up in that cold weather, BEST THING EVER!

Dinner Over The Sea.

Even on working days, you can do something fun at night. That's absolutely rightt.

And that something fun was a trip to Raja Uda for dinner.

Yes, it's really true that Penang people would travel for just one meal, as long as it's good and recommended by many. So where did we go for dinner? Here! (another way to promote our food blog hah)

Anyways, so we all gathered in my place and met up with the rest at E-Gate and convoy-ed together, using Waze. We didn't actually know that we were all talking about different Heng Heng but since we thought that no one else knew the directions there so we used Waze. And boy, can I tell you Waze really brings us through the shortcuts and got us worried at one point.

But all is well. We arrived safely and ate to our heart's content (if you follow me on my instagram, you would have seen my dinner's photo).

Fun continues when we all decided to take the ferry home. NOT because of the cracked bridge. I have to say, taking the ferry back to the island at night definitely feels a lot different than when it's in the noon. Pretty lights everywhere and Penang is such a beautiful island. Ahh, thanking God that I was born and raised here :)

And take ferry means you've gotta wait for the ferry. So while waiting, we did what everyone else would.. *scrolls down*

Pardon the quality of my photos please. Those clearer ones are obviously taken with an iPhone5. Duhh..

Ferry landed at the perfect side of the island because then we went searching for a place to hangout and coffee. We probably went to three different shops only to end up at Chinahouse.

 I don't know why I took this picture of the crayons. I think it's the colors.

Thanks to Instagram, everyone else would take pictures of anything that is colorful or black and white or a lamp post or clouds.

Nothing wrong about that but I guess I'm also being sucked into that "trend!"

Crayons on the table but no paper to let us use it on? Funny much.  

*watching Pretty Little Liars now and getting distracted*

*and doing a sales report* Talk about multitasking hah.

Next, desserts! (not a big fan of desserts, at all) but I decided to order coconut ice cream since Lovelocks have been closed for so long! Sadness overloaded.

worst coconut ice cream, ever.

Some of the bunch went up to the gallery but we stayed back. Too lazy to move our butts. So, we moved our hands and fingers, and cracked some lame jokes here and there :)

Great night out :)

Next one: FISH STEAMBOAT! (hopefully!)

Ask and it will be given to you.

And that is exactly what I did.

**At drive-thru Starbucks with Benjamin Yeoh, Nicholas Choong, Nicole Linn John, and Andrew Chan last night**

Me: Anyone wants to buy me the mug? RM25 only! *points at the mug on the display counter*
All: *poker face*
Chan: Ask Koay to buy for you la.
Me: *raises eyebrows*

**30 minutes later, Joshua Tan arrived and sat down**

Me: *looks at him* You want to buy a mug for me? Only RM25. *points at the same mug*
Tan: *looks at the mug from the distance* Okay, your birthday gift lo.
Me: *smiles from one ear to the other ear* SERIOUS? *rushes to the counter and grab one*

This, my dear friends is a perfect example of ASK, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU! :)

RM25 mug for the 25th birthday.

It makes horrible days much more bearable. Not that I have a lot of horrible days. But coming to office to this precious mug definitely gives a very nice and warm feeling :)

thank you, joshua tan sao peng :)

now, who wants to belanja me raja uda's tomyam tonight? :D

Period.

A friend asked me a question today. A question related to girls and their monthly routine.

You know, questions like do you girls really get moody when it's that time of the month, are you all conscious about the moodyness, can you all control it and stuff like that. I definitely didn't find that difficult to answer because I obviously went through moody seasons like nobody's business. Hahaha. Koay can tell you stories about it too I think.

And what struck me is the question, "Can you control it?". As in control not being moody. And I kept thinking about it. I think for many times, I did not CHOOSE to control it. I just let it be because I know I have an excuse to back it up. Now that I think back, it's unfair. Unfair to my family and to Koay. It's like I get irritated at every single words they say or every thing they do. Now, I really believe that a girl can control whether to let the moodyness take over.

Guys have it a lot easier just because they don't have monthly issues to deal with. And especially the pain that comes with it, HORRIBLE. I used to have that pain every month. So painful to the point that I will scream my lungs out in the room, used hot boiling water and put it in a glass bottle and put it on my skin so that I won't feel the internal pain and take panadols. I usually want to avoid taking paracetamol but most of the time I still have to take it. Too painful. So guys, you should be thankful that this pain you don't have to go through :)

My birthday wish to God two years ago was to remove this terrible torture, and taking them away He did :)

15th Night.

Chap Goh Meh.

My first time after many many years of life. His first time too actually. I have never thrown any oranges (or rubbist etc) into the sea before so this time, having the chance to throw something into the sea IN THE OPEN seems pretty fun for me. One thing though, we didn't bring any ORANGES! Epic la I tell you. So we ended up spending RM3 for just two oranges.  

 If I actually remembered, I would have brought a lot a lot of oranges to throw non-stop. I wrote the famous John 3:16 verse onto it and Koay created a "new" profile for the boys who were gonna pick them up.

There were so many people there that if you don't hold your lover's hand/shirt/shoulder/hair, you WILL lose sight of each other. They even had a kid going up on stage to find his parents. And then of course there were free food offered, like nasi melayu (rice with a piece of potato in a dhal-like curry and a piece of sambal taukua), the ever famous mee sotong (the line to this stall is beyond madness), Bamboo buffet food and some other stuff. We lined up for a few but all got sold out very quickly. We ended up DID NOT eat anything there! *pats self*

And then we went for coffee at Behind 50 and watched one of the most amazing fireworks ever. The finale of it was just four thumbs up! And you know what made it even better?

Watching it with him while being hugged :)

Good Morning.

Oh how crazy it is that it's already last day of this eat non-stop festive? I could use another extension of one week being in this holiday mood!

Yesterday God revealed something to my heart. Something I didn't know that was in me all this long. And it was so reassuring, so wow, so personal and so precious. In Your promise, I stand firm and know. Nothing will shake me off this faith that wows me when I least expected it :) Trusting in You is life's most peaceful thing. 

So, how are you spending your last day of Chinese New Year? We are gonna run a few rounds in Youth Park, and then sessions of captain ball.Probably will head to Esplanade or Straits Quay to throw some oranges. Not that I want to do that (specially for all the single ladies) but I guess it will be fun to throw oranges into the sea. We'll see what happens.

Enjoy your last days of CNY people :)

WhatTwoEatHere is One.

WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY TODAY!

Quite difficult to chew on the fact that we have been food blogging for a year already. I still remember how it was like when we first started it! And who know, one year later, we are still into this thing and gonna be getting a new baby for better quality photos! I am excited to launch into this year two. Blogging like this has been fun I have to say. Though there are days where laziness kicks in and we just decided to post it up another day. Nowadays, that has been the case actually. Hah. 

Oh well, BLESSED ONE YEAR WhatTwoEatHere!

And thank you all for reading us and following us so faithfully! :)

Blessed Friday to you all :)
