After three years, two months and a few more weeks, how do you say goodbye to the most unforgettable days of your life? How do you say goodbye to the country who welcomed you with open arms, despite you’re initially clueless about her, except for the image of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers? How do you say goodbye to the state who embraced you and gave you so much opportunities to work, travel, eat, learn and experience her culture? How do you say goodbye to the few people who expressed selfless and priceless concern, love and generosity particularly in your lowest moments and trying times?
As my son’s already in the Philippines now, continuing his studies with his mom, I try my best not to dwell in sadness, while I bid farewell to a lot of things that matter to me, including the three years of my life in Malaysia. In spite and despite of my family problems that I opted not to disclose publicly (Don’t ask unless you’re one of those pathetic gossipers and hypocrites I know, who thrive in divulging private issues of others, that made them to me, much like receptacles of feces. Rectum personified. Are you?), butcher block kitchen cart I chose to celebrate butcher block kitchen cart my last days in Penang, the humble state that I considered my second home, by touring my mom (she’s back in Penang!) and her only sister, my aunty who’s currently enjoying her very first vacation abroad. After all, it’s so much better to be positive butcher block kitchen cart and happy on my last weeks in Malaysia, rather than to just abandon everything and everyone who made our stay in Butterworth worthwhile.
After I officially tendered my resignation from work , I’m savoring my last days in Penang at work with my current students during weekdays butcher block kitchen cart and revisiting the places I loved with my mom and aunt every weekends.
We arrived in Kuala Lumpur via LCCT. And if you’ve been following this blog, you probably remember that my mom has been to Malaysia last year, but as for her one and only sister, who happens to be my godparent as well, we needed to introduce to her the country that has been so good to us by only the best ways we know how. So first priority after arrival at the terminal : EAT MALAYSIAN FOOD!
Then came the unexpected travel-blooper of my aunt’s luggage that she only borrowed from one of her daughters. butcher block kitchen cart Just before we boarded our KUL-PEN flight, my mom noticed that its stitching collapsed that pushed me to buy packing tape from the airport’s bookstore. The next photo exhibits the result of our effort to bind her luggage back! Hehehe!
We butcher block kitchen cart arrived in Penang on a Saturday late afternoon, almost dead tired of the whole day flight-and-waiting-at-the-airports, so having dinner at the cafe in front of our apartment was really called for! We’re tired but never fatigued to smile! butcher block kitchen cart
Sunday morning, my aunt went with me to the pasar (public market) via hopping in the Rapid Penang Bus few minutes after 6AM. If you must know, I am one of those rare breed of family-men who take efforts to go to public market to shop for the week’s food supplies, wash dishes, butcher block kitchen cart (I also know how to cook!) , do laundry, iron clothes, carry gallons of water from the water dispenser from the mini-mart to the apartment on top of working for a living. All that I experience in being an Overseas Filipino Worker that gave me deeper meaning to the song’s lyrics, “I did my best, but my best wasn’t good enough!”
Must have photo-ops with Penang’s remarkable symbols butcher block kitchen cart and touristy spots. From trishaws, clan houses, temples butcher block kitchen cart and mosques, I believed my mom and aunt were happy strolling and touring the heritage trail of George Town.
We ended the day by having dinner at one of the most affordable eat-all-you-want restaurants in the globe! At only RM 52 (more or less PhP 700) for the total charge for the 3 of us (the two got discounts as senior citizens!) , we enjoyed food, food and more food complete with bottomless ice cream and other desserts!
The following weekend, I brought them to the Burmese & Thai Buddhist Temples in Pulau Tiku
