Nope, I didnt lose myself in Penang's beauty, or the famous Anak Mami. Me and my friends, we did literaly got lost in Penang!
Off to Penang for the Seminar Kebangsaan Kelab Penyayang (paperwork on OKU, Orang Kurang Upaya/Disable Person), we were hosted by USM Penang. The place was nice. We stayed in a new apartment like hostel. It was a nice place. The almost 7 hour ride from Shah Alam seems nothing. But as we arrived around 8.30pm, the only thing we can see is the Penang Bridge pilon.
We were lucky to have our driver Abang Lan to stay with us. With him we were able to sneak out (actually there's no curfew in USM unlike UiTM's 11 pm gate shut) after 12 midnight and go anywhere. And everytime we go out, we get lost. At one time we circled around Komtar for about 5 times! The signage was bad. I mean, VERY BAD! The one way roads doesnt help either.
While we were there, we visited the NSTP branch to submit our donation for the Tsunami Victims Fund. It wasnt much, but the thought that counts. RM 700 was donated to the funds.
6 of us, me, Syed, Zal, Alin, Anum and Bad were the mischievious among all other participant from Universities all around Malaysia. None of us brought anything so formal. It was like half of the conference room were wearing tie except for us. At one time, our girls did the most embarrassing thing, they were hiding under the table, trying to take a nap when suddenly one of the gals phone rung. I was sitting with the committee members were on the opposite site of the room when we saw a hand appearing from below the table looking for the hp! Everybody laugh out loud. I laugh in tears!
But 1 moment I'll remember for a long time was at the gala dinner. My pals did something I didnt expect at all. They announced and sang Happy Birthday to me. The best part, I hid myself under the table. They caught me off guard. I was preety sure they didnt know about me turning 1 year older that night. Somehow they did. Thanks guys! Really appreciate what you did.
Here's some pix to look at:
