This post is dedicated to 3 of my good friends: Mei fern, Ming
Shiuan and Shin
Hoon.
This time I finally got to go to
Bukit Mertajam (BM) after hearing so many stories about the place in
INTEC from 3 of my housemates at that time. I used to hear about "charcoal fried
kuey tiow" all the time. And about what other delicious
penang food that usually mention during our times in 9505.
Besides that, I was very curious about the place. I've never been to BM before and I really did want to know how special it was since they mentioned it so much.
So, this trip back to my mom's hometown, I finally got to reward my curiosity. Too bad Shin
Hoon wasn't back, if not, we could have made a 9505 reunion. :-P
BM is a very small town. I can't imagine myself living in such a place cos I'm from a big city. No offence to those living in rural areas. Living in KL has it's downsides too:
Polution, Traffic Jam, etc... However, I did enjoy the day.
They both brought me to eat many many things in BM including the famous fried
kuey tiow I mentioned earlier (I'll blog about
Penang's food later on). Mei Fern also brought me to visit
Penang's one and only
Jaya Jusco. I still feel it's very big for a
Jaya Jusco leh! How come you both keep insisting that it's small?!! (specifically to Mei fern and Ming
Shiuan).

Mei Fern and meThey even brought me to visit their friend, Hui Fern @ Joanne (How coincidental is that? Someone with the same name) to visit her new
shih-
tzu puppy. It's actual name is Patches but it's nickname is
Shiuan, after Ming
Shiuan.
Hehe.
Patches a.k.a Shiuan Jr.

Pity the fellow, want to sleep also kena bully by 3 giantsWe did a little catching up about our lives. Seems that next semester is coming really fast, I'm a little scared to go back. Mei Fern's going back the earliest while Ming
Shiuan is flying off one day after me.
Hehe, seems that I'm not the last person who'll reach Sydney.
Thanks
a lot for the great day!!! I really appreciate it. We should meet up again ya. Mei Fern must come to see us also you know when you come to Sydney! Don't only go and look into the aquarium for fishes.
