It’s as early as 2:30am that I heard people is cheering by the road to Jelutong Express and that’s the time the Penang Bridge International Marathon started. Probably Cheryl is there by then as she’s taking part in the 42km run while myself still enjoying good night sleep after tiring day rushing back from Sitiawan.
Jane took part in this time event and for the past few weeks, she have been training in USM Stadium to improve her stamina. At 6:15am, I fetched Jane and her colleagues (Jesse & Tan BC) to the starting point of their Fun Run (10km event) near Eastin Hotels. Then I went back to fetch, this time Serena and Keith to airport to catch their flight at 9:00am. Not sure if there’s any road closure, we decided to leave for airport early.
Surprisingly no road closure at all and everything is just fine. Seem to be early, we had some light breakfast at the airport Coffee Beans. I share my breakfast with Serena while Keith have a set of his own. At about 8:30am, they finally went into the boarding area so I left the airport for, now QBM where the marathon event being held.
At about 9:05am, I receive a call from Jane that she’ve completed her event. It took her slightly more than an hour to complete her 10km while her colleagues is nowhere to be seen. It’s all the training that finally paid off. We walk around the event area while waiting for the lucky draw announcement. Finally, the grand prize was won by other people and … just too bad. Haha, time to go home and sleep … we really slept!

Oh no, another one is leaving yet again and I am still here seeing people leaving. This time though she is not from the IT department but her work is rather IT related. Anyway her background was also IT. She’s the OA to Purchasing department who liasing closely with us IT people so that’s how I got to know her.
Basically she’s not my user however due to her role as OA and I am the administrator for some reporting services, on and off she would be requesting me to help her to create user and grant role to access those report. Since I directly involve with her, I can’t speak much about her. All I know is that she’s a nice person, very helpful and also responsible person because she put in a lot of effort in getting thing done. She should be a real patient person as well as she’s able to deal with John without much complaint lol. Anyway all the best to her.
Ops, back to daily stuff … I fetched Adrian (yeah he is in Penang again) to On-Cost yet again to get his D1 Spec Grounding Cable Kit and the Pivot MegaRAIZIN voltage stabilizer but unfortunately it was out of stock so he can’t collect it today. In another word, I will be collecting on his behalf tomorrow once the stock is available.
After that, we went to the airport to fetch Serena and Keith before heading to QBM for dinner @Kim Gary restaurant. On our way back, we saw this Adrian think it’s a nice one but I don’t think so … it’s a semi gloss and matte black Honda Civic. Anyway … still Honda!!!
Going Back With Adrian November 14, 2009

Adrian is in Penang again and this time his intention is just to eat eat and eat. After all he would be going back to Ireland next week after Irene’s wedding so he just want to enjoy himself to the max. He was already at my place yesterday night, we had a whole night chit chat til 3:30am only we went to bed.
This morning I woke up at 8:30am, after getting myself ready, I accompany Jane to USM stadium to jogs for a while. After jogging, we came back and after shower and pack all my stuff, we went out for our ‘brunch’ at Perkaka for Dim Sum. After the meal, it’s time for Tom’s Sticker as Adrian wanna get himself some carbon fibre sticker for his FTO side mirror. However it’s too bad that Tom’s Sticker doesn’t sell it seperately as they want it to be with installation packages which Adrian obviously won’t be needing the installation since his FTO is not in Malaysia. So he ended up asking me to help him to ordered from my friend who sell at RM20 per square ft. I ordered for him 1 ft x 4 ft which equal to RM80.
We also went to On-Cost just few doorsteps away from Tom’s Stickers and again, something attracted Adrian. It’s the D1 Spec Grounding Cable Kits and the Pivot MegaRAIZIN Voltage Stabilizer. I was also attracted to the Honda City side step with LED lighting. We nego the price to the nett and hold onto it as we told the boss we shall be putting the order coming week when Adrian would be coming up to fetch Serena and Keith.
It’s time to go back Sitiawan then. We reach Sitiawan at about 4:30pm and I took a short nap (kinda long actually haha) and at night, we went out for dinner with grandparents.

Today is another milestones for my grandpa as he is celebrating his 79th birthday. Although that might sound old to you, glad that he is doing very well and still going strong and my wish for him is to be even stronger ever.
Anyway, to celebrate his birthday, he invited close relative to have a simple dinner. Myself and Adrian bought him a cake though we knew he don’t really like to eat but somehow it’s an item not to miss especially for such occasion.
Oh well, nothing much actually. After the dinner, we went over to grand aunt Christine’s house. Meanwhile myself and Adrian busy taking photo for Andy of his new renovated house. Hope he don’t mind I posted some of the picture here.
Nice house though … congrate Andy

It was just like yesterday Adrian left for Singapore and now he is back again … time flies. Touch down at Penang International Airport at 4:30pm, after collecting his luggages, he had McDonald while waiting for me to fetch him at 5:30pm. Immediately after the time-to-go-off song started to sing, I also started to pack my stuff. I think I was the first to go off in my department today.
We came back home first to wait for Jane for dinner. While we were waiting, Adrian show me all the thing he bought from Singapore. Load of CDs, electronic gadget and also camera stuff. I think he spend quite lots for this trip but probably worth it for him lol. Best of all, he got me an OSIM uMist which I thought he himself wanted one also. Yeah, he want it but it’s not practical for him to use it in Ireland. In the end, he only buy one for me as a gift.
At night, we have our dinner by seaside … Malay’s stall ikan bakar. It’s quite nice and not very expensive. The treat was on me as normally Adrian has been treating me a lot. Kinda paiseh lol haha. After dinner, we spend most of the night playing those CDs and chit chatting.
Adrian Off To Singapore October 22, 2009

Adrian is going to Singapore again though this time I don’t need to fetch him from Sitiawan to Penang for his flight instead he’s driving down and leave his car at my place. It’s good that my place allows 7 days of overnight registration and happened to be he would be off for seven days as well.
He came down all they way from Sitiawan and reaches my place at 7:10am. As I normally leave for working quite early, so I would be sending him to the airport then only go to work.
At night, since he’s driving his Toyota Estima here, it’s kind of worried me that if his car park at the visitor car park for too many days, something might happened to it. So I decided to let him park at my current parking lot while I move to the top which is my actual rented lot. So for the next 7 days, I would have to drive all the way 6 floors up to my parking lot lol
Street Dance Competition @QBM October 18, 2009

It’s a sunny Sunday morning and I woke up quite early today. Several item to be done … first need to buy some breakfast for my aunt and her family. Clean up the house since it has been almost 4 days since we last tidy it up and … go swimming with the ever-annoying-kids, my aunt’s youngest son.
When it come to time to go out … I’m running out of idea of where to bring them to. Luckily my aunt suggested QBM because she didn’t really shop yesterday night, probably because my grandparents was around and as usual, as a while they would want to leave. We had our lunch at the food courts and then it’s more or less like free activities for us to go seperately. Too bad for my aunt, after just a while of shopping, this time her son is making noise of wanting to go back. In the end, they left home early instead of evening as planned.
After they left, we just walk around for a while and there’s Street Dance competition held. It’s kinda nice and cool to see those guys jumping around making some nice move though some look idiot with their steps, still better than myself hahaha That’s basically my weekend for this round lol.
Grandparents Visit October 17, 2009

It has been almost a year I’ve moved to my first house … and luckily it’s not a year yet that finally my grandma able to come and have a look of it. Grandpa has been here the last time with my bro in April but then grandma was not feeling well … so this time to make up with the previous miss trip.
At about 12pm they reached my apartment. Basically they felt the place is very nice … worth buying and they kinda like it too. My grandaunt also have the same opinion. After taking some rest, Jane suggested we have our lunch at Lorong Susu chicken rice (recommended lol) since grandpa love chicken rice. Not quite sure of the exact location, we ended up making extra round just to get to the destination. After lunch, actually I have no idea where to bring them to … so I think Gurney would be just nice for little shopping walk.
After a while of shopping, my aunt came but got herself lost at Crystal Point and Sg. Nibong area. In order to make it simpler for them, I ask them to wait for me at Sg. Nibong bus terminal while we catch up with them there and then. Finally we met up and went back to my place again to enjoy those laksa, cendol and ais kacang we’ve bought from Penang Road.
We went to QBM as last place to visit for my grandparents before leave for Tambun for our dinner. Hmmm, actually it was quite a bored trip I think but great that my grandparents get the chance to see my house
