Pinang and Bubur Chacha

The sun in KL was burning crazily today and the heat dried up my patient really fast. If I say ‘I feel itchy in my hands’ in Chinese, that means I want to beat someone or break something. By noontime, not only my hands felt itchy, my whole body just wanted to turn into a nuclear bomb and went off right there in my apartment and flatten the entire city of KL…

Well, I’m saying this because I’ve been having a bad mood these days due to some trouble with the immigration office. The bad mood has been disturbing my family for as long as half a year. I don’t want to complain anymore since it won’t make those immigration officers with no brain any batter. What I’m thinking now is that I have to get one of those passports with blue cover someday, so that I don’t need a damn visa for going to other countries, that I won’t be asked for security check at the boarding gate by some F airline people.

Alright, Alright, too much depressing stuff. So… I need a bowl of bubur chacha (a coconut ice-cream desert) to cool myself, and tell you some stories about my trip to Pinang.

We drove to up to the north of west Malaysia on Friday morning and stopped at Ipoh for lunch. The food was nice and super cheap in Ipoh. Then we headed to Pinang. The car’s air-conditioner broke in the afternoon, so we had a really nice ‘sauna’ on the road. When we got to the island, we saw bunch of cows on the side of the road, eating the grass from the edge of some residential houses’ front yard. One of them was even trying to cross the street in front of our car. S/he stopped in the middle of the road and looked at me for sever seconds and went across the road! How weird! Whoo… finally we arrived at Holiday Inn about 4pm. As soon as we checked in the hotel, I put my swimming suit on and jumped into the pool. You might wonder why I don’t swimming in the sea since the hotel is just by the beach. Umm… the sea in Pinang isn’t for swimming. I mean, it’s a bit polluted because people play jet ski and other water activities too much on the beach. Anyways, I had a nice swim and enjoyed the sunshine.

The next day I played jet ski and ride a horse. It was fun. Dad bought me a glass of cocktail while we were there enjoying the breeze by the pool. Hheeee… that was the first time Dad bought me a drink. I’m really happy to be 21, yeah~

We ate so much seafood during the trip. We made our new record- 2kg of shrimp and 2 kg of crab for a meal, nothing else, only shrimp and crab. HA! That was awesome!

My dad snores even harder then last year, like a thunder machine! We only booked one room at holiday inn, so my mom and I had to try to go to sleep with that thunder machine. My dad fall asleep super fast. I really want to plug my sandal into his throat to choke that thunder machine.

Ok, that’s my story for the trip to Pinang. I really miss the bubur chacha there. It’s the best one in Malaysia I think.
