Penang | Friendship | Regrets

Penang

Accompanied Bin to Penang for his 3D2N work trip last week. My initial plan was to meet up with some friends but since we stayed in Batu Ferringhi, it's quite far from mainland Penang. Furthermore, it's a trip with his boss, so we better be good (joking joking🤣), we actually had free and easy time but we were tied up with work, ended up spending some time working in the hotel room (on the computer, not what you think it is, I know what you are thinking). 

Stopped by the Floating Mosque (Masjid Terapung) on the way to botanical garden.

Penang Botanical Garden
Visited Penang botanical garden and saw many interesting trees and plants. It's a relaxing and cooling place, will definitely pay another visit.

One of the reasons we are here - to check out the cannon ball tree.

Can you guess the name of this tree? Leave me a comment, coffee or tea on me if you get it right😏 (hint: a type of food)

Visited this high rating (on Google) café called Wheelers for breakfast. Coffee and breakfast are surprisingly good. We were lucky to have arrived early, the crowd built up fast and people got to queue to get in.

Our room view. We stayed in Doubletree Batu Ferringhi.


Friendship

"Friends forever" is not something easy to achieve as we get older. I've lost a few friendships over the years. It used to sadden me a lot but knowing that it's unavoidable and accepting people come and go in your life has made me feel much better. Getting to the bottom of it, it's mostly caused by having different values and when someone has turned into a toxic person in my life. Life is short, spend it with the right people (I am not young anymore 😑)



Regrets

Had a conversation with aunty Sam and shared with her about the regrets I have that are dragging me down in life. She advised me to pen down my thoughts and I am giving a deep thought about it because I have too many "I could have" "If only" on my thoughts all the time. That's really bad for this aunty here 😖 We shall see. 




That's all for this round of update, I hope the next will not be 1 year later 😁😀

To you ...

I am not sure if you read my blog. But, I want to write this out. I've been holding back my feelings and emotions because I don't want to put all the blames on you. It has been 5 months plus since I knew about your existence. I will never forget how I find out about you on his birthday. How you've tried so hard to contact him although you know clearly that he's with me so far away from Malaysia. How shaky was I when I find out about his betrayal. I put all the blames on him at the very beginning. He knows that he's a man with a gf but still he has chosen to betray me to be with you. It's his fault for not being honest and loyal enough. I was heartbroken, I know things will never be the same again. Do you know when I started to have hatred towards you? When you kept calling and smsing him at night - Europe time. Knowing that I will definitely be next to him. Sending intimate sms to him begging for his return. I know you were sad because he's no longer

Geramnya!

I've been receiving emails from different ppl asking me questions about Working Holiday Maker. I wouldn't mind at all and I am happy to help but when you were being asked the same question for more than 10 times, wouldn't you be annoyed? Plus, you can find most of the answers from the vfs website. (but of course, if you are my friend, I won't mind at all...wahahahaha *hint* - at least introduce yourself first, before bombarding me with lotsa questions!) The most frequently asked questions: 1) How much should I bring? I have X amount of money is that enough? I've answered this X amount of times and I believe it's being stated clearly on the website - as long as the money you have is enough to sustain all your expenses in UK for the first 2 months. I can only tell you the rough expenses in London but if you are looking to go somewhere else, you will really have do some research yourself. 2) I am working as XXX in Malaysia/ I have X years working experience in X fi

[Jordan] Wadi Mujib Reserve, Siq Trail

I didn't have any expectation for Wadi Mujib Reserve. I thought it would just be another ordinary water trekking trail under scorching sun. Yes, it's summer now in Jordan and we have just experienced 40°c a couple of days ago in the desert 😣 It was only at the Wadi Mujib Reserve Centre that we realised it's an adventurous trail with high water level and strong water current. In fact, it's canyoning that we need to do: climb, wade, abseil and swim at certain places! I was reluctant at first due to the hot weather and had doubts if I could complete the trail. But hubby was keen and my father in law is going too (he is in his 70s!), so there really was no excuse for me not to. My father in law who is an avid traveller and photographer The trail started with a climb down a rock. From here, the water level got higher as you walk/wade deeper into the canyon. At one point, I was almost swept away by the strong water current. I grabbed the rope as tightly as I can a
