Gathering Cinta Utara

Yesterday, I went to Gathering Cinta Utara with Keith. It was a blogger & facebooker gathering.

Right after doing my routine exercise sit ups and push ups and light breakfast –- roti canai, we drove out to Sunway Carnival Mall. I heard Esprit got sales. We went out around 12pm but went to bank and drank soy, surprisingly we still in the island when the watch showed 1pm.

We reached the mall around 2pm and only spent half an hour there as Esprit sales was a joke. A joke here means sales like G2000. If you’re a shopaholic or at least kind of, then you surely know what I mean.

So, around 2.30pm we drove out from the mall and heading straight to Alor Setar to meet Wani there. Driving in the bright sun and heat really make us sleepy. Furthermore, we skipped lunch!

We reached Alor Setar Selatan around 3.20pm and waited for her at the toll. Seriously, I’m not good with the road outside of Penang. Yea yea yea, I’m still in the box.

Wanie went for a wedding and then rushed to take dadih for the gathering. Then came to us. We sent her auntie home then straight to Wani’s house. She needed to change.

Around 4pm, we went out to buy Secret Recipe brownies but sadly it was too small and we hoped they have bigger ones. Too bad. We canceled the plan and went to the mall next to it and bought some snacks.

We reached there pretty late around 5.15pm. I was suffering to pee. Luckily, we managed to find the toilet somewhere not far from the lake. We saw some stalls selling foods. Remember we skipped lunch? Ok, so we bought 1 waffle and 1 cup corn. Half this and that and walked back to the gathering spot.

When we went back to the spot, it was full of people. Damn, hate this. I’m a shy guy of course and what should I do?

Instead of appropriate shaking hand I just wave as Hello to them. I never join any gathering like this, where you never know or meet them before. I guess it was appropriate enough for me and Keith :)

There were some junks and cupcake brought by them. We ate 1 cupcake and 2 cups of dadih. Let me tell you, the dadih was very good! I like it  a lot.

Then, I started to snap some pictures. It’s weird right when you just leave your DSLR untouched for 3 weeks, you already can feel awkward with your own gadget :) Try to adapt with it fast or else, there is no picture of the event at all. Blame the cameraman -- Azim.

Enjoy the pictures :)

 

The gathering ended around 7.30pm. Then we got another plan!

Stay tune ya!

Dinner with my study gang.

Yesterday was my last exam day. My last exam paper –- Civilization :) Mind you, it was my 8th paper. Some people might compare me with full time student, but you have to remember; I work too (ok, my gang would whack me because some of them took 10 and 11 papers! duh!).

So, Ina one of the girls in the group planned to eat dinner to celebrate our victory (haha wait until the result comes out!). She planned to eat at Pen Mutiara. I just agreed. I never say no to food, if you realize.

They were a bit late as Akmal stuck in the jam on the bridge. Friday, what do you expect? Around 8.30pm met them there. Too bad, when they called, the staff told them still got many tables for 10-person. But then, when we reached there, the restaurant was crowded! So, we sat at the smaller table which was not comfy.

As soon as we sat, I started to snap pictures with my DSLR. It has been a while I didn’t touch it and starting to play with it again, was pain in the ass. Haha!

Miza, Kim and Ina were choosing the menu.

 Gadis Melayu Celcom – Syikin, was in the that TV program before.

Still choosing.

Diana and Kus. Kus is our ‘otai’ because she the brainy :)

 Akmal and me. I was trying to fix Miza’s camera.

 2nd pose. On their request haha.

I called them 4 Dara Pingitan.

Cit chatting but seriously, we also learned patience!

 When I asked Akmal, “Which one do you choose?” He replied, “Tut tut tut”. Er?

Akmal called me ‘pokok’!

To avoid hunger, we tried to focus on something else :P

The fountain.

Thirsty!

 Ina, was giving direction to Mak Buyong.

Our first food. Dried fish Kailan.

Followed by clam.

Steamed fish.

Mango salad.

Deep fried squid.

Bistik omelet.

Fish head curry.

Dried fish.

3-flavored pomfret.

Butter prawn.

 Everybody is waiting anxiously! Look at their eyes LOL. Oh! by the way, Mak Buyong aka Wani just came in.

Nobody cares about my camera anymore LOL.

Kim was the happiest when see the food :)

So, those pictures tell everything :)

It was a great dinner I’d say with a lot of chatting, a lot of jokes and it was a releasing stress moment. I love my group ♥. Many of other students envy of our hard work, determination and friendship.

We will be back to our routine, work, exercise and sleep again until the result comes in June and will continue our study in July. Can’t wait to see them again, and I hope we pass with flying color.

Take care peeps! :)
