Crispy Pancakes
I’m back from my holiday with XCool! Tiring but really awesome.
On Tuesday morning, we drove to Parit Buntar early morning together with Kok Liang, my friend. Stopped there to take care of some business. After that Kok Liang stayed back in Parit Buntar while XCool and I continued our journey to Penang Island. We spent three days exploring, relaxing and eating.

First day, we took it slow and easy. Drove around to chow down some yummy food. All the available food blogs on the Internet really helped us. All we need to do is to key in the address/coordinates into XCool’s GPS and off we go. “In 750m, keep left then keep right”

On the second day, we covered a few places. Started off with Kek Lok Si, followed by Khoo Kongsi. Look whose name I found
Mr. Khoo’s! He was in a lot of pictures, together with all other Khoos.

After lunch, I had an appointment to meet KM and Mr Khoo at Sovereign Wealth Management office. Haven’t seen both of them for some time.
Soon after, we proceeded with our eating expedition and then it was beach time! Didn’t really play in the beach because we weren’t comfortable swimming there. Instead, we swam in our hotel’s pool.


The whole time, I was thinking about the brown sugar crispy pancake. I even SMS’ed my friend Alex Lee to ask about the location. I went to the stall he brought us to before but it was not opened! Drove round and round. It seems like all pancake stalls made an agreement to rest on Wednesday. At least that was what the auntie who sold us Pasembur told us at the Georgetown market. Haha.
With the feeling of incomplete and total dissatisfaction, I pestered XCool on Wednesday night. On our way to dinner, we passed by this shop houses which look very familiar. If I remembered correctly, that was the place my sister and I bought the brown sugar pancakes on one of our trips many years ago. This morning, we drove to that place and bingo!!! The uncle was standing there making those lovely pancakes I have been craving for. XCool took a photo of the happy me buying them. Oh so yummy!

All in all, I have a very good trip and I’m back in KL. Things will change again. I have been enlightened with some new inspiration and it’s time to make some changes again. Wish me luck!
Thank you, Universe! I will work harder and smarter!

I already started catching up with my business issues today. Just had a very unhappy conversation with an agent. @#$#$$%%^^&*^&*#! I shouted at him. He tried to threaten me! I think I probably slipped out some profanity. Opps. I mean… who does he think he is? I am his customer. Not only did he not protect my rights, he wants to threaten me now and claims that I took him as a fool?! He is the one who took me as a fool. @#$%$%&! You can’t threaten me. Easy. Just stop the business deal and refund my money. I may suffer for a while but my business can live without you. Idiot. I spoke to another agent who has been nice to me all this while. In fact, I chatted so long with him that we went into a little further than required. He’s going to help me with something else.
See… good people are everywhere. Just need to know how to find them.

Ooo.. by the way, XCool’s first iPad app has been approved. It will be available in the App Store when iPad is launched. So happy for him!
