Christmas Escapade

It’s almost in a total rush, right after the work, on Friday, got home, 20min speedy packing, right away hopped into Angeline’s car, whom she had already been waiting by the pick-up lane next to the lift.
Overnighted at Angeline’s place ‘cause we’re leaving for Penang the next morning. There started my Christmas Penang escapade. I always like Penang and Melaka (which I spent the previous Christmas in Melaka). I find these 2 places are nice, for having been through all stages in Peninsular; and also my 2 best friends, Mikey and Tina are from there.
Food is nice, ate so much!
And Penang men, nice!
The night itself I arrived to Penang, Patrick (really old time f*-mate) brought me to Café, well not really a café, but actually a disco. Patrick is attached, not surprised, but found him can be quite attachy - when the bf is around. No despise, but just thought we wouldn’t be that kind. Anyway, I do wish him all the best.
A young cute boy flirted with me and before he left we gave me his number. I couldn’t say I wasn’t surprised, I hardly had the luck! Anyway he didn’t call the next time as he promised.
Doesn’t matter. But what was adventurous was I called up Gigi for the sauna location, and well, since I’m not local, I didn’t have ideas where the hell was there. Anyway, in the evening I had a dinner to attend, and from where I stayed to the dinner venue was actually within walking distance. I got out of the house early, taking my sweet time, and thought of hanging around at the shopping centre on the way to dinner place. Guess what the shopping centre was where the sauna was located. OMG!! So excited couldn’t wait to get in there.
…oklah…(I’m not indicating the sauna is lousy, but I hoped it couldn’t better)
2 guys, looked like couple, 1 young 1 older – to my taste, I found them delicious, well I wouldn’t mind. Ok, few trips of in and out of the steam room, then they came in. Oh yes! In my heart I said. A little dark corner, 3 of us, oh well, you know what’s happening next (but no fucking, my policy always, in the sauna). Guess what, I spotted the young cute boy there then. Slut I said. Oh well perhaps so am I. Anyway, out of courtesy I sent him a sms later at night, saying I actually saw him there but too rush to call him, and hope he had good time there. He called later, which to my surprise, that he wouldn’t mind to keep in touch. Oh well, will see then. Ok, mission complete, 7.10pm, wow, I still have 20min to dinner time. 10min walk. I reached.
What an unexpected rendez-vous. Simply exciting.

Christmas dinner at Angeline’s friend, Yvonne’s place was warm and nice. Home-made Popiah (vege roll) and pasta and wine – you know, it’s simple, but so nice and warm especially for a Christmas dinner.

I thought I could get coach ticket back to KL the next morning, but morning till afternoon were all sold out. 7pm. Oklah. No choice, I had to be back to work the following day anyway. Leisure Monday with Mikey’s dad, accompanying him to the park for a walk, to nursery to get pots – reminded me of my mum, I should have spent more time with her. She is actually nice to be with, besides the nags.

In the bus, 7.15pm. Talking to Harry over the phone. Seeing the sunset of Penang, crossing the still beautiful Penang bridge – life is actually beautiful. Imperfection and unhappiness and joy and laughter cross each other path all the time, but this is what life is. Just like painting, is the various colours, textures of strokes that makes it beautiful.
