Because the trains go 1 every 2 hours on Sundays
I have to leave at half ten
to make it to town in time for my noon
lunch appointment with Leyna
The clouds are letting it all out
and I get there early
curled on a couch at her local starbucks
with an upside down caramel macchiato
Later we are seated in a Japanese restaurant
which is clearly chinese run
"What'll you have?" I ask her
"Well I'll have a salmon ramen, unagi kabayaki
as a side, then decide on sushi after"
she announces in all seriousness as my eyes bug
Later her ramen and eel arrive
"Leyna that bowl is nearly 2 times the size of your
head" I say. She polishes it anyway.
The girl is pint sized!
We are talking about food and restaurants in
Penang, when she starts telling me bout one in BM
"Wait, let me just say that BM is so not Penang", I interrupt
"But you go to Bagan all the time
what's there in Bagan?Its worse than BM!"
she squeals.
This is when I explain to her that Bagan
is a posh jazz bar located in Penang
close to Gurney, and not in Bagan Ajam.
See this is what happens when people
don't go back home for 6 years.
Sorry, tried to wikipedia Bagan Ajam and BM
but there was nothing of significance.
See what I mean?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After lunch I trudged 15 mins in the rain
back to town, where I met a couple that
I have decide to part-time for.
Coincidence?
He's welsh, she's syrian
and guess where they honeymooned?
Penang, Malaysia.
This world works in such mysterious ways.

Shim, Actually hor, she just said "Bagan".
I assume she meant Bagan Ajam lor, dont ask me how I know there's one.
Juls! Where are you?
hey i stay there
-ling-
it's always the pint sized skinny girls who eat like horses.
* sigh *
Ling:I have nothing against the mainland people (= joking la!
Shiny BB: I know, so unfair! Here I am eating loads and in danger of gaining a wine waist. Have to trudge up a great big hill 4 times a week just to 'maintain'. Then these girls eat like horses. Bloody bollocks.
Okay, okay so I got the wrong 'Bagan' :P Although, I am your size Aja (if not teeny bit more bigger because am pear shaped) though I am not fat - definately not thin though.
Yes of course I know Bagan Ajam. Some of my mom's family grew up in the Eurasian settlement there...and a guy I used to date as well (you know his cousin Fi). My uncle still lives in Bagan Ajam - facing the 'beach'.
