Untitled from email

ok. I hope this work.
Tried to blog the normal way but the stupid system says that the blogger page is being blocked due to 'adult content'. Normally, i would have put this off for another day.But its been quite a few of those 'another days' now and i feel that today is the day to write something.


It has been a busy two weeks, first with evaluation, and then a trip to penang and finally booking in again and being here sending an email to my blog. Firstly, i am pleased to be relieved of forests and lying around in the mud/soil/earth/undergrowth, looking at a million species of ants, beetles, multiple-legged-creatures and decaying matter. Put those aside, file them under 'archives' and never touch them again.


Penang, no matter how many times i visit there, will forever stay the same. Its one of those places on earth that does not reflect time. A person mysteriously teleported from the Raffles era will find Penang the same as he left it, with minor differences and slightly taller buildings performing the same function at the same place. Take for example the awesome chendol store. It is still in the same Lorong, next to the same coffee shop, selling the same awesome chendol ( the only one I eat in the world). The only difference with the stall half a century ago was that instead of a bicycle, he now uses a motorcycle to move the stall around. And everything in Penang seem to be 'est. 1854' or 'founded 1830' anything that's founded in the last century is considered new. A century old street is a new street. Or closer to me, my grandparents place have not changed but abit since i was young. They have added a kitchen, removed the mango trees (god knows when they were planted), added aircons, added fans in that order. The paint is 50years old at least. and so is the swing, and the awesome culinary skills of my grandma.


How i wish i could be there for the next 6 mths, see the time fly by. and regain my freedom.

Anyway. don't watch Blood, it is the worst show ever, beats catwoman hands down as the crappiest show yet. Utterly 'B' grade. or even worst.


Can't wait for the wkend.
