continuing with our tour… here's an intriguing sighting… the splash of white in the left corner is an anomaly… it's as if someone in googleplex smudged the image in photoshop… it's actually a used car dealership if i'm not mistaken… it might be something else now…

by the way… the school in the picture is where my mum used to teach… and also where some of you used to attend ;) 

fifteen years ago… here i was… trying to adapt to schooling life… the first few weeks were a nightmare for me… and my mum too i guess… for she had to coax me into going to school daily… i suppose i was just one of those troublesome kids that took great pains to raise… i wasn’t comfortable in a new environment… and it was all too much at that time for me… i was a late bloomer perhaps… blame it on nearly being an 85 baby… :)

so… i spent a couple of years here… before transferring out to another school… i still remember the day when i was accepted as a prefect… it was also the day my transfer was approved… well in short… i can’t really remember the past in detail save for a couple of incidents… one of them included a lead pencil being jammed into the palm of my hand by a classmate who would later turn out to be my fellow drummer in my first band… i took the dare for some reason i can’t recall… probably just for the sake of stepping up to the challenge… boys will be boys…

i was browsing (again!) when i came across an airplane over gurney… i know there are hundreds of these images from all around the world… but this is closer to home so… anyway… gurney plaza’s the most happening mall in penang… you’re bound to bump into a friend everytime you’re there… cos there probably aren’t any other interesting places to shop on the island? i’m sayin’ this cos during my few visits there over the past year… i ran into some friends from school… friends from uni… and an ex-housemate… well… it’s indeed the place to be seen in penang… not to mention… the place to go sightseeing… if you know what i mean…

well… i’ve decided that since i don’t have so many topics to rant about… and a rather monotonous lifestyle… i’ve come up with a new style of posting… an aerial photo and a story to accompany it… :)

as this is the first post in this series… it shall be a fitting one… exactly twenty one years and ten months ago… this is where i first saw the light of day… well… technically… i am guessing i was first greeted by the light of fluorescent tubes… but anyway… you get what i mean… well… the hospital’s currently under rapid expansion and it’s about twice its size in the pic… the satellite images are kinda outdated for this region i suppose…
