Our Special 2nd Anniversary (19 Dec)

The morning with a special meaning, celebrating our 2nd anniversary.. It was a wonderful day, with lots of excitements, and lucky enjoyments.. It’s been a wonderful morning. She wore the shirt we bought at Times Square, a nice and wonderful shirt and it can be turned into various fashions anytime.. Lunch time.. We went to The Ship near the Cititel Hotel, not the one at Batu Ferringhi.. The Ship is famous for its steak where it carries the slogan of “the best steak in town”.. I ordered a set lunch of a black pepper medium-rare beef, a plate of Escargot, a minute steak and a banana split.. It was my first time eating at such a formal restaurant with good service.. But I was told that the environment and the service was better at Batu Ferringhi compared to here.. The beef was so delicious and so crunchy and not hard at all..The source I think was the best black pepper sauce ever.. The dessert of a banana split was also another special dessert.. The Escargot was another special plate we ordered. It was so soft and juicy.. When we got into the restaurant, the table they offer was situated at the side and it was very dark, we couldn’t even see the menu, but I asked for a candle lighting on the table.. The environment was indeed nice but as the place was near to lots of offices and shop houses, lots of workers and officers eating there and it was too noisy, feeling uneasy and not comfort.. We prefer a quieter one like the one at Batu Ferrignhi..… When the dessert was served, we suddenly remembered that at the car park we just slotted in coins for one and a half hour parking but we ate till about 2 hours and we were too worried that we might get summon as the place was a hot spot for the patrolling police.. However, we managed to finished all our meals without getting any troubles with the police.. A nice experience indeed….

Next, we went to Feng Wei restaurant which was just opposite The Ship, to book a table for a dinner treating by Christine on Sunday (Dong Zhi).. We went to Prangin Mall, parking at the basement.. We went to a shop called Global Time to buy a Casio Edifice watch.. Before that, we’ve gone to lots of shops including shops at Megamall Pinang and the one we found here at Global Time was the cheapest ever after so much effort of finding the cheapest one.. We were lucky enough that the first stop in Prangin we were able to find the cheapest one.. so lucky and actually the watch was a gift from Christine and I like the watch very much. It has all the basic functions and the black color style suits my taste and It has the class I want.. Next, we went to buy a 4GB pen drive for my mum at Nan Yang and bought a HP holder for my younger brother..

Next, her favourite Laksa time… Haha.. the laksa sold by a Malay at a corner near Batu Ferringhi is indeed a nice one and she likes it very much.. I love it also as the noodles feel smooth and not so smelly and the texture was so wonderful.. However, when we passed by the stall, it was CLOSE.. feeling a bit disappointed getting so far, we might as well continue our journey up North, heading till the end of North Penang, which was Teluk Bahang National Park.. It’s incredibly lucky to find a beautiful Fishermen village situated just beside the National Park.. The small jetty has a long extension but due to hot weather, we didn’t walk along the extension bridge and actually it looked dilapidated and not quite safe.. But maybe we’ll go there again in future to walk on the bridge as the scenery there was indeed awesome… The time was about 5pm d.....

My younger brother from KL would reach Penang very soon and I was in charge in fetching him back home.. The traffic was terrible with bumper-to-bumper jams along the way to the bus terminal at Sungai Nibong.. Using the usual way through Union High School was not a right choice as the jam was so serious that the vehicles were not moving at all, we changed our route by using Sungai Pinang road and the Jelutong expressway instead and reached there at about 6pm d..

After dropping my younger brother, it was time for us to have our dinner d.. Sawara Restaurant was our destination as we wanted to have a not-so-heavy dinner meal.. Sawara offers a variety of oriental cuisine and it was located near Midlands Pulau Tikus.. As usual, we ordered a set dinner and a bowl of Yong Tau Fu mixed with various types mushrooms and fish rolls.. The night was wonderful, not so hot..


After dinner, we went to Gurney Plaza to buy some beers to celebrate.. It was a bit disappointing as the alcohol beverages section was closed d at Cold Storage. We planned to buy a bottle of beer called Budweisser but now, no choice, we just bought normal beers, a can of Carlsberg and a can of Anchor Strong beer.. We parked at the gurney drive and drank our beers inside the car.. It was so special drinking inside the car while viewing ppl passing by and the night scenery at Gurney Drive.. After that, we went for a long stroll along gurney Drive and there were lots of ppl enjoying the sea view…Suddenly a young girl approaching us.. She was holding a bouquet of roses and we didn’t buy from her at first.. After a long stroll and heading back to our car, the girl appeared again, this time I bought one for Christine and the red rose was indeed beautiful with its special attractive fragrance compared to the orange roses I bought last time.. The feeling of walking along the busy gurney drive while holding a pretty girl with a delicate rose was my first time in my life, it was really a different experience I’d ever had, but it was indeed a nice one and I love it…Next, we headed to “New Gurney Drive” near “wu tiao lu”, it was a newly built seaside attraction just like the Gurney drive. The surroundings were a lot better than Gurney drive with less ppl and we got the chance to enjoy the sea breeze under an artistic structure…
Today, 19th Dec 2008 was indeed the most special anniversary we’ve ever had and it was our precious 2nd year of eternal love…
