'A Xylophone and A Post Office'

I'm back.

Journal of Events:

Friday 6th April

• Took a bus to Penang RM35 - 10.30am. Found out my university ex-housemate, Y had returned to Penang the same week. Called him up. Discovered through the conversation that I've bought a ticket to Penang mainland, Nibong tebal. Grrr.... stupid ticket seller. Nearly got into a tiff with my dad. Quickly made a switch at Ipoh and grabbed a ticket to Butterworth RM 14 because bus to Penang island was full. Boarded ferry - 5.30pm. Brother picked me up. Arrived 6.00pm. Arrived in one piece.
  

Sat 7th April

• Accompanied fellow church member, D shopping at Perangin Mall and Komtar. Bought a sleeveless shirt and some 'wife biscuits', lol!. Bumped into another university ex-dormitory mate, Ch. Coincidences, coincidences! Bought birthday present.
  

Sun 8th April

• Hang out with Ch at his place in the morning. Had Easter brunch at Equatorial Hotel to celebrate cute nephew's birthday. One won a prize at Easter Egg Hunt. Had a fantastic dinner (burp! groan) with Y at a lovely Baba Nyonya restaurant at I-Avenue. Forgot the name because gave the card to my brother. Aiks!
  

Mon 9th April

• Met up with another friend from JS, Joe for breakfast. Slept almost all afternoon in anticipation of night trip. (Yawn!). A generally uneventful day. took the 11.00pm bus back to Seremban. (Sniff! Sniff!) Hmm.. funny, ticket back to Seremban is RM32. Well...
  

Tue 10th April

• Arrived in Seremban at 4.15am in the dark bus terminal. Decided to wait til 6am to get a cab because all the taxi drivers were still in 'Man-Eater' mode. Made a friend with a businessman from Penang who took the same bus back. Finally took a cab back to the house. Ahhhh... home sweet home.
  

Pros: A very fruitful trip indeed.

Cons: Didn't get to meet the 'gory' surgeon in SP, lol!.
