Froggie and Anak Dedi Pi Penang

I admit I love travelling North lately ... but the truth is I will only drive Froggie to Kulim, lepak with Emel, then later we will travel to Penang with Goldie. Leaving Froggie behind jaga rumah hehehe ...

The reason why I did that was my dad is a bit possessive of me. Everytime I spent weekends in Penang, we will ride on his old kapcai having breakfast together at Picadilly Street (senang jer belakang Chowrasta) then lepak at his gym until lunch, then went to Ayer Itam to visit grandma (before she passed away) and the Golden Girls (my aunties) ... itupun we stayed for 30 minutes ... then we went downtown to have dinner before my dad left me at home and he continued his work at the gym. He often insisted that I am "chaffeured" by him in his kapcai ... By the way, there was one time I had a meeting at SUK Penang. Hehehe, imagine my dad sent me there in his kapcai and I was wearing a skirt! Terus hilang I punya glamour hari tu!

When I said my dad still look at me like I am 10, I tak tipu. Even if I say I am still 17 to him ... it is also right. It's hard for me to have a night life here in Penang. Dahlah in KL my night life memang non-existence, in Penang ada curfew pulak hehehe ... So I always pity Thomas ... my childhood friend who always wanted to bring me jalan2 whenever I am in Penang but selalu kena "marah" my dad. Between us after kena marah, Thomas will said "haiya, sifu always forget that his daughter can legally drink and drive". Yea, as if I feel protected around you Tom. You even had to wake your dog to teman u to the toilet hahaha ...

Then I got reunited with Emel, a very good friend during my Collegian days, who is currently working in Kulim. Imagine I had been travelling KL-Penang for the last 6 years and not even once jejak kaki at Queensbay Mall. My mum and sisters also complained to me that they cannot do much shopping in Penang coz daddy couldn't take them there and they didn't know how to go there .. hmmm...

Yea, now that Mie and Froggie aways "Fast and Furious" on the roads of KL, why not getting to know the roads of Penang pulak. So I made a plan with Emel to travel to Kulim and from there we will travel to Penang. BTW I never told my dad. I felt bad but that was the only way I could gain my "freedom" to explore Penang ... and later we included Tom in our "Fellowship". Anyway, at this "age" it is no longer "shiok" to go clubbing, get ourselves drunk and suffered hangover the next morning. BTW, I am not a drinker ... Emel had to hide her face when I ordered Coke at Slippery Senorita last few months hahaha I just love listening to live band. There is something about listening to loud, catchy music, and live performances to my soul.

I knew my dad was quite suprise when I told him I am driving to Penang that weekend. After picking him up at Majlis Sukan Negara Bukit Jalil, we started our journey to Penang at 2.30 pm. Waaa ... if I am travelling alone, dah tekan minyak dah but since ada "tester" duduk sebelah kena maintain at 100km/hr. Ada lah time tertekan juga minyak but after bila teringat balik back to 100km/hr. We discussed about so many things ... mostly about Jason's wedding next year. Then my dad mentioned about Joan's birthday and asked how old is she this year.

"She is 30, dad" I said with a straight face.

Then he looked at me. Hehehehe ... don't have to look at me like that lah daddy ... I tau I nampak muda :P

We stopped at Sg Buloh R&R to have lunch and then Tapah R&R for tea. Then my dad offered to drive Froggie. Waa... tiba2 I pulak possessive dgn Froggie. "It's OK dad.. let me drive her to Penang".

After I broke up with "Al-Bedebah" in 2006, only few people jer I bagi sentuh Froggie. Uncle Sam, Uncle Alex, Uncle Suhaimi, Uncle Ariff, Uncle Sazali and Auntie Niejah. Lepas tu bile dah terer bawak kete, I jer boleh sentuh. Even Auntie Emel never drive Froggie sedangkan Goldie dah aku bawak sampe Bandar Sunway. Hehehe

We passed Exit Bandar Baharu at 6.15 pm ... I smiled to myself hehehe. Teringat my journey with Niejah to Ipoh for Menjy's wedding. When I started driving Froggie, furthest to the North was Bukit Beruntung. So when we passed that Bukit Beruntung exit ... niejah and myself bersorak mcm kena loteri hehehe

So as of 20 June 2009, furthest to the North was Kulim via Exit Bandar Baharu ... so rasa nak menjerit jer when I passed that Exit. But becoz my dad sat right beside me ... I terpaksalah control ayu! Huhuhu ... BTW, thanks Tom for your Froggie gift! Both Froggie and me deserve an award bringing sifu home in one piece.

We reached Penang bridge at 6.54 pm ... tiba2 my dad call my mum .. proudly announcing that Froggie has reached Penang Bridge ... Haaa!!!! Froggie stole the limelight from me. It was quite a long jam at the bridge so I took the chance to look at the sea. Waaa... it is hazy everywhere lah ... Fuhh... some Penang drivers, noticing Froggie KL plate numbers semua taknak bagi chance untuk I menyelit2, eventhough I dgn berhemahnya bagi signal. I takut want to drive at the left most or right most lane, fearing some irresponsible people purposely throwing nails to puncture the tyres ... was on NST or Metro the other day.

My dad showed the way home using the coastal highway ... waaa... I felt like a Penang driver oredi ... except that I belum start cursing in Hokkien hehehe.

We reached home at 7.54 pm and got ready for Father's Day dinner. Emel joined us that night ... jadi anak yeoh for a day hehehe but sorry no pics coz we were too hungry ... sambil menghirup udara nyaman at Northam Beach Cafe ... nyum nyum nyum.

Anyway, Joan ... forgot to wish you Happy Birthday ... So Happy Belated 21st Birthday dear! Kesian her on her birthday have to deliver that H1F1 virus sample to KL Hospital.

p/s: My dad woke me up this morning offering to wash my car at his gym... Hehehe ... I knew he really want to drive Froggie. Takpe lah he can have Froggie to himself today.
