I was only away for 1 and ½ years but have forgotten most of the road paths which I was familiar with before my UK trip!! Oh gosh!! What has happened???
On my second day in Penang, as my typical practice is to hand over the souvenir (a big box of Thornton chocolates which worthed around RM200) to my relatives or those stayed in my late grandparent’s lodging; 5, Lengkok York, Penang. Malaysia.
What surprised me was I found a group of relatives are already there; kind of an odd scene to me! I sort of feel the warm welcome back from them which I believe they didn’t even know my return....
As to show my gratitude to my 2nd aunt, I specially bought a small pack of coffee flavoured Thornton chocolate for her as she loves coffee a lot!; a typical drink for her daily afternoon tea time!
As my home; 48 premises, opt for timed broadband usage package, in order to save/minimize the usage, I brought along my laptop to make use of the unlimited broadband at 5 Lengkok York.
I shared with them my UK life/ photos etc. and also a possibility of setting up an E-commerce business in UK upon my return to UK which was scheduled on mid of Feb 2009. Everyone seems to be pleased with the news/ announcement!
Subsequently, in the mid afternoon, or after lunch, my cousin and her two children were leaving and she did pack some of the chocolates to take back with her on the ground that her children would like to have them back home.
My 5th uncle was then intended to visit 1-stop so was asking me to drive him there. Of course would be no problem for me as I’ve already planned to spend the entire afternoon over there after having been away for a while. From the short driving trip, I could confirmed that my memory has been entirely wipe out on the route that I used to use and my driving skills have degraded as well; as if a new learner…. :-S No worry, managed to arrive at the destination safely. Hurray on that! ;)
As it was only my 2nd day in Penang, I quickly get myself a prepaid credit as to facilitate me to make phone calls for a month as I would be leaving to UK by then.
On the return trip, due to my poor driving skills my cousin was wary and took over the driver role.
In short, I hardly have time left to use my laptop on that day….
