Deliciously Me

On the 8th day of CNY, my family and I decided to head over to Penang island for the Jade Emperor Day festival at Chew Jetty. Before that we went over to Kek Lok Si first, after being persuaded by our neighbour on how beautiful the temple is with all the lanterns lit up at night.

At about 11pm, we descended from Kek Lok Si and made our way to Chew Jetty. We passed by the Komtar Walk.

By the time we reached Chew Jetty, that place was already crowded and we couldn’t find proper place to park our car! Since everyone did illegal parking and the polizisten were nowhere to be seen, so yeah. Hehe.

We then walked to the main area since we parked quite far away and along the way we could hear firecrackers loudly and big thick smokes came over to blanket us.

We stopped for a while to let the firecracker explode and when it stopped, we scurried over to the other side after realising that the firecracker didn’t finish exploding yet! It was super duper long!

Last CNY, I went to Kek Lok Si twice! Once in the day, once at night!

I went on the hmm.. Can’t remember which day d – the 5th day if not mistaken. It was a sunny afternoon and I was practically sweating nonstop.

There were many people there; all decided to drop by Kek Lok Si during CNY because of the yellow and red lanterns hung all over the temple. Very nicely decorated. Hehe.

This was also when B decided to try tactics he read before long long time ago. He just never got the chance to try it (as he only wants me to be his guinea pig, huuhuu) so that’s part of the visit purposes. Haha.

Happy April Fool’s Day peep!!!

DO you manage to fool anyone or gotten fooled by someone else?

Well, I got mine when I was listening to Fly.Fm Rush Hour yesterday afternoon – I think that was the biggest prank ever pulled as Jules suddenly announced out that she’s leaving the radio for good! Even tho I don’t know her personally nor what, I was super duper down and was THIS ( less than an inch) close to tears knowing that I couldn’t get to listen to my favourite duo on the way back from office starting from tomorrow.

I told Sat on how sad I was, and even tweeted on how sad I was on hearing this news. I know this sounds stupid but it was a  fact that I was sad okay!

The next thing I know is a tweet from FlyFm95.8 saying that it’s just a prank!

Oh well, at least it was a happy prank. Lol.

Earlier today, I got tricked into believing Song got a job at my company. But just when I replied, “eh?” and about to ask if he’s joking, he already replied “April Fool!”. Now I’m unsure I got fooled or not. Haha.

But I got my revenge back. Muahaha!

Before I continued with my story, I want to share a happy news : I already claimed my iPhone from the Digi centre. Paid RM2,144 for the phone with 6 months deal. Digi gave lots freebies – screen protector, yellow casing, CDs etc. Woohoo!

Last Friday, Yin, Choo, Qi, Sheng, Angelong and I surprised our beloved HR at her house. This plan was masterminded by Angelong; where the plan was to crash her house with food and cake and balloons at 7 pm.

However, because I took the wrong turning and ended at God-knows-where-am-I, I reached at 7.10 pm with unblown balloons where the rest already went up and started singing Birthday song to her as she was starting to wake up from her late evening nap.

The next activity in the Lounge was line-dancing. I thought of participating, but Sat was more eager to enter the casino. He thought that line dancing on Star Cruise Pisces is a waste of time.

So I asked him, what’s not waste of time then?

He grinned and said, C A S I N O!

We went down and were stopped by the security guy at the entrance because Sat looked young. I was like, what?!!!

Sat had to show him his driver licence where he pointed to his IC number as proof that he’s over 21.

There’s nothing much to say about the casino… just the usual tai sai, jackpot machines, roulette, player banker.. so I skipped that part. Kaka.

Feeling sien after lingering in the casino,we went around, exploring again.

The Star Cruise Pisces leaved the Penang famous Swettenham Port at 8.30 pm. We were supposed to go up at Deck 11 to see the ship moving away, but we were at the Mariners having our dinner. We only remembered about it when we FELT the ship moved. Haha.

By 8.45 pm, we decided to make a move and walked out of the Mariners. Unsure on what to do next, we asked the ladies at the reception counter on the activities available on board. Then she pointed me to the itinerary pinned at the public board next to the lifts.

Ah, we weren’t observant at all.  Haha. We checked out the itinerary and found that there’s a live band playing at the Lounge of the Galaxy of The Stars. With nothing to do, we decided to do a little exploration. From the reception counter at Deck 7, we walked straight to the Blue Lagoon and reached the entrance of casino, where they call it Club Royale.

Sat was super eager to check out the casino, while I was more to explore the ship! Thankfully the casino door isn’t open until 9-9.30 (can’t recall) so we went up a deck to Deck 8 and found ourselves to be coming up to the entrance of the Galaxy of The Stars. There were 2 big groups of people standing at the counters located on both sides of the entrance. We walked past the counter and took a peek into the Lounge. The place was full of people, quite happening place to be.

But we walked out.

Curiously, we were wondering what caused the people to surround the counter; we walked up to one of the counters and asked, “What’s this?”

The male crew answered – “Oh, we’re selling the Bingo strips. Do you want to buy some? One strip costs RM4, half of the page consists of 3 strips costs RM12! Come try and win yourself a Jackpot worth RM18,888!

As we never play the real Bingo before – except for the square boxes that consists of 25 numbers we used to play during secondary school, we asked them on the method of playing.

“Easy! One strip consists of 15 numbers. When the machine randomly calls out a number and that number is in the strip, u cross that number. Once you’ve crossed all 15 numbers, then you have to stand up and shout BINGO!”

“That sounds fun” – we said, “but how many times will the machine calls?”
