'Sesat Jalan' Club
>> Wednesday, July 29, 2009
It really beats me how I can go lost in Penang. Its such a joke that being such an informed guy about the roads in Penang, I too can go missing. Today, I officially join the "sesat jalan" club. Hmmm... haven't you heard of it? The president is none other than my mum. Ooops... I'm not suppose to say that, but since I did, might as well share with you guys. Mum can easily get lost when driving except familiar places like Gurney and Tanjung Bungah. Ask her to drive in Bayan Lepas, she will bring you to some other destination. Hahaha... [lets hope she doesn't find out about this or this will be the end of me]
So, after just one day of holiday, ONE DAY, I got so bored I decided to ride around Penang Island again. Hahaha... damn mou liu right? LOL. Anyway, being rather bored, I try to find roads that I've never used before. I found 2 today and all 2 leads me no where but forcing me to either make a U-turn or ride on the wrong side of the road heading against traffic. Hahaha... I am not joking. There was even a policeman scratching his head wondering what this crazy guy wearing a silver colored helmet, riding a purple colored bike going against traffic ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD. Phewww, lucky me he didn't gave me ticket or saman. Sesat jalan la tuan, mintak maaf ya. Hahahaha...
First, I rode on one of the roads at Balik Pulau which the name is unknown to me. I've always reach the junction and take a left turn but I've decided, why don't I take a right turn today. Who knows where it might bring me. Hmmm... guess where it brings me to? BACK TO WHERE I STARTED. There is a small roundabout at Balik Pulau and again I always take the left turn, taking the road I'm familiar with. Nevertheless, I finally figure out that the so called "never used before" road brings me back to that small roundabout. Confusing? Complicating? That is just the beginning.
Next, instead of turning right and use the Batu Maung highway back, I opt to use the Bayan Lepas road. Passing the Penang airport on the opposite direction, I wasn't really too sure of what led me to make a U-turn and go to the airport. Hello, I got no reason to be there. LOL. Getting inside the airport, I sesat lagi. I can't find my way out. So, I rode against traffic, on the wrong side of the road. LOL. There was where I met the policeman too. At last, I did manage to squeeze my way through and get back on the road.
Soon after, I drop by Kelly Services. Hmmm... its been like 2 months since I last went there. Things have change. Faizal is no longer working there. I was introduced to a female consultant. Well, she is pretty helpful and promised to find a job for me (yea...) but I've got to submit my resume to her. Later, after Kelly Services, again... I didn't know what happened to me. Out of a sudden, I just wanna go to INTI. On my way to INTI, I missed a junction which I was suppose to turn into and overshot. Guess what? Riding on the wrong side of the road against traffic again lo. Hahaha. Did I reach INTI? Not quite yet, cause I made a left turn only to find out that the previous campus (i think) is now some USM bla~bla~ but I did reach INTI, safely in one piece. Hahaha... seriously, I've been laughing all the way back home some road user might think that this guy has gone nuts already. LOL!
Back to serious matter. I went to INTI and ask about their degree programs available. Not bad, I mean way much better than KDU. At least the counselor seems to be pretty honest and his words does seem to be believable. 3+0 BA of Commerce, a twinning program with Curtin University. Its actually not bad. Hmmm... can consider. Ya know the previous dilemma I faced? Perhaps if something happens, I wouldn't mind going to INTI.
I've been on a downloading spree again lately. Downloaded two Andy Lau's movie in just 2 days, believe it or not. Ahhh, I have some trick up my sleeve to cheat Megaupload. No download limits despite being a free user. First movie is Needing You, starring Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng. Not bad, 3.5 out of 5 stars. Quite entertaining. The movie does feature a few of my favorite bikes, the NSR250SP, the RVF400 and the Ninja ZX400RR. Second movie is a classic. A Moment of Romance, starring Andy Lau again and Wu Chien Lien. Good. Meaningful. Touching. 4.5 out of 5 stars. Bike featured in the movie is also wonderful, and I insist wonderful, the legendary square-four RG500. Damn I want that bike. And the trademark scene, riding on Shoei helmet fetching a 17 year old chick wearing a bridal gown, awww... no words to describe it.
Alright. I guess that's it for this post. I've crapped a lot already. Stay tune and come back in a few more days for updates.
