island tales #6
it's sunday! and i went church this morning, much to my surprise. and the Guy in Green was talking about the parable of the sower, which is strangely appropriate when u think about it.. and also, the closing hymn was "showers of blessing", so (u guessed dat rite!) once i came out of the church, it just HAD to start drizzling. sigh... the irony... :P
oh, and last nite i actually drove to gurney drive. missed the flyover (wrong lane) so took d longgg way round and borrowed a methodist church to u-turn. hehe. and of course, i had to choose the most BRILLIANT (not..) time to drive to gurney drive for the first time. the roads were packed coz:
a) it was a saturday nite
b) it was a public holiday due to the penang governor (or someone)'s bday
c) roads were closed due to the bday celebrations
d) oh.. this one's totally unexpected. background: fong has this poster of this singer dude named JJ on his wall, and YES U GUESSED DAT RITE AGAIN, it just so happened that i picked the night of him coming to penang (and gurney plaza, to be specific) to drive to gurney.
so yea as u can see it wasnt the brightest of ideas after all. and i only knew about (d) when me and chen went to gurney plaza (to satisfy his craving for nando's), and saw a park full of young screaming girls. and COINCIDENTALLY (they just keep piling up, dont they...) we arrived just as JJ came on the stage. so i got treated to a park full of young girls in skimpy clothing screaming their lungs out. a veritable attention seeker's dream come true, except that, sobsob, they werent shouting for me.
but anyway, i did manage to park (further up, and needed to walk a bit), and had a nice half-a-chicken-wif-rice-and-coleslaw-and-hot-peri-peri-sauce meal, but was too full to do anything besides drive home after that. and the maybank atm seems to be down yet again. oh, and im lactose intolerant, i think, coz the coleslaw+mayo was really a heck of a lot to digest. but it was a nice meal! (2 thumbs up)
on a brighter note: i found a way to play dota here! no lag, either. wooohooo! not good news for carol, unfortunately, so i guess i'd better not show too much of my joy... :P
