David Brown's Cottage Up Penang Hill [Part 3]...

When I first entered David Brown's Cottage, I knew that the food served here would cost a bomb! And it did. This restaurant is located on Strawberry Hill, at the peak of Penang Hill. Why is it called Strawberry Hill, I don't know... As far as I know, there aren't any strawberries up there...

The ambiance..

This restaurant has a fantastic natural ambiance. I would give a 9 out of 10 for it. It was very windy and cooling up there, although we were under the 12 noon sun.

The menu and pricing...

A bottle of mineral water cost a whopping RM 6 there, and coke costs RM 8 up there. We had tea instead. But, I didn't know how to drink it.

The food served...

The food was fantastic! We had ordered Ahmad tea, all the way from Europe, I think... But, overall, the food was very pricey. The dish I liked best was the pastry with the sauce the best...

Some more pics of the scenery up at the Cottage...

I like the ambiance! My house will be like that next time, but a little bit more modern... Haha...

Scenery up Penang Hill... [Part 2]

The scenery up Penang Hill is fantastic! You'll never get to see such scenery's like this!

The city...
This picture looks like it was painted by an artist.

Can you see the bridge?

MYF Trip to Penang Hill... [Part 1]

It was 6:30 in the morning, I was awakened by my mum. It was the day, I was going up Penang Hill! I went to the parsonage to join up with the other MYF'ers and some of the committee tuition people...

When we first arrived at Penang Hill, it was drizzling. But, we still hiked up anyway. Climbing up Penang Hill is no easy task. At some parts, the slope was at 30 degrees! My muscles are still aching now... But one thing I'm curious about is how drivers manage to control their four-wheel drives when they drive up.

Up! Up! Up the hill!

A group of 3 guys and a girl were first to reach the hill. We couldn't keep to their pace... Aaron, Jonathan and I tried to chase them, but they were too far ahead...

The beautiful scenery...

Aunty Doreen made it!

It took me about an hour plus to reach the peak. It was very tiring, but also quite fun! We had a few laughs; like Jonathan lying in the middle of the road, face flat on the ground, because he said he couldn't move another inch... This trip has given me many unforgettable memories.

I hope that another trip such as this would be organized in the near future...

My Mid-Term Exams Are OVER!

I feel so relieved... for the time being, I must enjoy my short-lived joy to the fullest! I'm going Penang this Saturday!!!

I don't expect to do well in this exam... I was just not well prepared for it... But one thing I do not understand is, why must the mid-term exams be held just right before the mid-term hols. It's so sickening you know, it spoils your holiday! Because you'd spend some of time worrying about the results. Haih. Furthermore, by the time you get your papers back, you'd already forgotten most of it. But, why talk about exams?Man United LOST to Barcelona!!!
Argh!!! How can M.U. lose????

One More Day...

One more day of exams left. Can I handle it? The past week's papers were quite tough. I foresee myself not doing well in some of the papers. Even English was tough!

I had my Chemistry paper today! It was SUPER tough! I'll be satisfied if I even pass. Okay, it might not be that bad, but still I know an A is impossible. I wonder why this time Puan Low didn't set the questions according to the SPM format. After all, we are preparing for SPM, not some internal school exam.

Gotta go study Physics now...

Without You...

I just wanna be alone tonight
I just wanna take a little breather
Cause lately all we do is fight
And every time it cuts me deeper

Cause something’s changed
You’ve been acting so strange
And its taking its toll on me
Its safe to say that I’m ready to let you leave

Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
Without you, I’m seein myself so differently
I didn’t wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well I never thought I'd say
I’m fine
Without you

Called you up cause’ it’s been long enough
And you said that you were so much better
We have done a lot of growing up
We were never meant to be together

Cause something changed, you were acting so strange
And it’s taken its toll on me
It’s safe to say that I’m ready to let you leave

Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
Without you, I’m seein myself so differently
I didn’t wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well I never thought I'd say
I’m fine
Without you

Cause something changed, you were acting so strange
And it’s taken it's toll on me
It’s safe to say that I’m ready to let you leave

Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
Without you, I’m seein myself so differently
I didn’t wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well I never thought id say
I’m fine,
Without you (Na na na na)
Without you (Na na na na)
Without you (Na na na na)
Without you (Na na na na)
I just wanna be alone tonight,
I just wanna take a little breather.

I finally understood. Thanks for the friends who stood by me...

Exam Today...

Wednesday 20/05/2009
0815 - 1045 Sejarah 2
1120 - 1350 Pendidikan Moral 1

I am glad that three of the memorizing subjects are over, Moral, Biology and History! The three "make-your-hair-grow-white" and "drive-you-up-the-wall" subjects! I think I may do rather badly in my Sejarah Paper 2, because I think I answered some parts of the essay wrongly. But, what is passed, is past. I must move on.

I don't understand why do we need to sit for the moral paper. We basically need to memorize the 36 nilais and blurt it our word by word in the exam. By sitting this exam, we do not change morally, we only just improve academically. After SPM, we buang all the nilais into the tong sampah.

Anyway, my mum bought mangosteens! My fav! But aren't mangosteens expensive these days! RM 6 per kilo! Look at the small bunch my mum bought. The color of the picture is a little off though, because I used my phone camera to take this picture...
