Old Me

I attended my oldest cousin's wedding on last Friday
Congrats Raymond & Ivy!
Met up with all my uncles, aunties, cousins, ah-sam, ah-pak, unknown people, bla bla bla.

I was sitting in the same table as my younger cousin Steph, and we chat for awhile before the food was served.

Steph : Hey, remember the last time I saw you in One Utama?

Me : Erm.....(trying hard to think back when was the last time i saw her)....Owh yea...quite some
time ago...

Steph : So.....is she your girlfriend?

Me : (Stoned)....NO! We're just friends

Steph : Har? Why don't you get a girlfriend?

Me : Why? Ain't it nice to be single now? I mean....I'm still young what. Enjoy life first.

Steph : You're still young?? For your age, its time to get a girlfriend

Me : Where got? Hello, I'm just 21 years old!! Like that also called old meh?

Steph : WHAATT!! You're 21?!?!?! I thought you're like 27 or something like that. HAR....that
means you're like 5 years older than me only!

Me : WHAAAATTTT??!! (Louder than her) DO I LOOK LIKE 28 TO YOU???!! I LOOK THAT
OLD MEH???

Steph : No laaaaah, you look mature laa....

Me : (PHEWW.....some sort of relieved)

Steph : No, actually you DO look old (giggles)

Me : zzzzzzzz.........owhh food is here, makan...... makan

This was one of the most stoned moment, my younger cousin saying that I'm old, 7 years older than my original age. I mean, we've known each other for like ages and she thinks I'm that old.
This also proved another thing, we've never been kept in touch for a very long time.
But me! being 28!!! Moment of speechless.
It makes a person wanna LOL and start questioning his manhood at the same time.

But its true, that I've not been keeping in touch with my relatives for a long time. And every time we DO meet up, there's no need to anticipate any upcoming conversations.

uncle/auntie/cousin X : Hello Vincent! Wow you've grown so much. So where are you studying
now?

uncle/auntie/cousin X : Owhh, What course? College or Uni?

uncle/auntie/cousin X : Okay, so what year are you in now? How many more years?

uncle/auntie/cousin X : Penang is a nice place huh. The food the very nice right?

uncle/auntie/cousin X : Okay make sure you study hard ok!

X refers to a random number

I think its about time to catch up with my relatives. It's like we only gathered for events, celebrations, have dinner or lunch, spent most of the time eating, part of the time chatting (like the dialogue above) and bid each other goodbye at the end of the day. Maybe its the generation gap. I don't know. Whatever it is.....its time to sign off for now! *yawns*

p.s : Do I really look that old???

Satisfying Dinner

Went to town for dinner today.
Mien brought us for kuay chap.
For those who does not know what is it, it is a Teochew dish of flat, broad rice sheets in a soup made with dark soy sauce, served with pig offal, braised duck meat, various kinds of beancurd, preserved salted vegetables, and braised hard-boiled eggs.
It is a small roadside stall, but not to be intimidated by that, it sure is hell of a good kuay chap.
Nicest one that i've ever had, and for sure, the most expensive one also. As penang food are usually considerable cheap, it cost rm6 for a bowl.
So does it worth it?
It sure does for a kuay chap fan like me, but for those not-so-keen people, save your buck for other stuffs.
There's also a lot of other stalls serving typical penang food. The desserts are good as well.
Where is it?.....I'm not sure of the street actually.
It's a street behind Penang road, the famous Chendol shop.

Got to go now. Assignments are falling more than the bird sh** on my apartment's balcony.
