379. Back to Penang

Spent the past few days having ERP migration meetings in the office, meeting customers, visiting supplier's factory & also a day at the exhibition.

The fun bit of the trip was learning all the new things and seeing all the new printing technologies on display. In the evenings, we did visit a few watering holes and Sin Lim Square.

For the 2nd nite, we went over to this place called Crazy Elephant at Clarke Quey for a few drinks with Victor. I loved the place as they have a blues band playing. Have way thru, I went next door to get me some Chocolate Gelato. Yummy. After that, we stopped by Victor's friend's joint called Jupiter.

On the 3rd nite, it got interesting, our collegue took us to Chijmes for dinner & drinks. When we first arrived at the place, I thot, "Wow! look at the nice church building." I was surprised when he turned in and parked the car. Turns out that this is not a church (well, it was a convent, it was previously The Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus), it's now a trendy mix of makan place, watering hole & retail outlets. Very interesting concept. You can check out their website to see the full list of Retail and F&B outlets. Kinky. We proceeded to Balaclava after that. My bro and our collegues can really drink. Apparently there's this online publication called mumtazz that took our photos that nite.

And on the final day, after we're done with the exhibition, we headed over to Sin Lim square. I wanted to check out the price of the Treo 650 to see how much cheaper it is over there compared to KL. One of the shops gave me a deal I couldn't refuse, my browsing turned purchase. I bought the limited Blue edition. It was a good deal at SGD920. I get an extra battery, screen protector, an extra stylus, a casing, a 256MB MMC Card & also a bluetooth headset. With this phone, I can finally send my old Treo 600 in for repairs.

Once we reached the Penang Airport, I rushed over to the Duty Free shop to get my fragrance. Raine picked us up and we headed for Bah Kut Teh. Yummy, then received a call from Jack. Apparently they were suppose to fly to JB tonite, but they missed the flight. So we met up at Starbucks to share our sad stories. :)

My Random Thots:

After a few drinks, the topic of women comes up (surprise, surprise):

Wee philosophized,"For the guys, beautiful, smart & loyal, you can have any 2 combination in a lady."

My thought for the ladies, handsome, rich and loyal, unfortunately they can only have 1 in their mate.
