On the way back to the car, we saw a supposedly blessed well which they call dragon eyes. There should be another well around there somewhere but I couldn't seem to find it (eyes come in a pair ma. It's not a one eye jack dragon is it?). Because I'm a city girl, I never knew how to scoop water from a well. Never in my life I saw an actual well. However, my mom grew up in a kampung so she showed me how to do it. I even dared her to drink the water just for fun and she did! Haha, but it seems that it has a "water smell" as she described. I wonder what is that? I didn't try it lah of course. Such a coward.

Since we decided to wait for my dad to fetch him after work at 4.30 p.m., my mom and I decided to kill time at Penang's largest shopping mall : Queen's bay mall.

The verdict for this shopping complex from a KL girl?

Well, it's very similar to Midvalley megamall and Subang Parade. Many expensive brands inside and nothing much to do. At least, the brands are expensive to me as I am very stingy and poor. :-)

My mom decided to spoil me and my sweet tooth with some pancakes at Paddington. I personally prefer American type pancakes to Dutch type. They're too thin and "hard". Well, not as in hard as a stone but hard as in too chewy.

Actually, the pancake we bought was quite good besides the chewy part of it. The fruits were fresh and sweet. Although some of the fruits were from the can. The ice cream was nice too.

To end this entry, I'll leave you with something to laugh about. My mom couldn't stop laughing after I showed her this banner.
