Finally! out of the rut and the maya-jaal like whirlwind, and landed in Penang! at some point, maybe I wasn't believing that this would be possible? but I am glad, because work will keep happening, life will too, and I've got to take these little chances at it :)
so while e mails flow and colleagues furiously stay dedicated and focused on their deliverables all around the world, here I am, in cosy lil Hutton Lodge on the 1st floor the old colonial style building which is going to be home for the next 3 days.
I am glad that sleep hasn't disowned me or given up on me yet given my past few weeks' schedule....it gently came back to me, and caressingly brought me back into its fold....basically - I slept almost all my way from BIAL to Hutton Lodge!
Feel refreshed now, but a tad hungry too....or maybe until I get my hands and taste buds onto the nasi kandar, satay, rojak, koay teows etc...the hunger pangs wont go. cant wait to sample all and more of this in a few hours from now.
My first meal in and of Penang though, was the thosai bawang aka onion dosa, and a super generous mug (beer like) of coffee! that coffee was enough to shake and wake me out of any slumber left i thought, but i was proven wrong, as i crashed for another hour not too long after :P
Just hopped across the road to the Muslim eatery and was so lost reading the menu, that I had to ask for help from a co-customer and the cook himself! I did regret not ordering something more adventurous, but it's ok I am telling myself, it was just the pre cursor :) cant wait!....
