Returning

I'm back in Copenhagen again after a month plus of working + eating+ shopping + 'holiday-ing' + meeting friends & families + Chinese New Year celebration in Penang. Time flies isn't it? Everything in Penang is still vivid but I'm already back in the cold cloudy Copenhagen, leaving the hot humid bright Penang behind.

Haven't really have time to compose what I've experience in Penang for sharing...too little time yet too many things to be done, didn't manage to blog. So the subsequent few blogs will most probably be about Penang.

Half year apart, not much changes in Penang (geographically) except it has received a Unesco World Heritage Site recognition. Grandma's turning into 80, some friends are getting married, some just 'upgraded' to be parents for the first time, some broke up with their 'other half' but most of them stay the same.

Finally get to drive again (and beating the traffic) after 7 months. *I don't drive in Copenhagen, can't afford a car. Got a new hair cut, bought 4 pairs of shoes, tonnes of masks, eat lots of good food, watched some movies in cinema with only 1/4 of price I paid in Copenhagen & able to understand all the language spoken around me and also able to speak a lot, really a lot.

Most importantly, it is great to be with my parents again even for just few weeks to take care of them (or are they take care of me instead? hmm) & just spend time with them. Simple as dining with them at home is enjoyable...I never felt so emotional when I was staying in Penang. Too bad I have to work the first 4 weeks I'm in Penang...really looking forward to just be home on holiday where I can spend most of my time with family.

The only down side is I have to answer the same questions over and over again (eg: how long will you stay? when are you going back? how much money are you making there? etc). Perhaps when I go back again next time, I shall record a template answer up front & play them when 'template questions' are asked :p
