Day 14: MyKad @ Penang. The anticipation of having to deal with paperwork and bereauracy again is electrifying as we step into the building on Anson road in Penang. Our favorite anecdote is from my Penang uncle, describing how he didn't even recognize his own face on his Kad, even after multiple assurances from the photographer that everything was "Bagus" - ie, good. In truth, most MyKads did remotely resemble humans..., so we weren't very jazzed.Maybe its the fact that its a weekday, or maybe its the fact that MyKads have a 10 RM fee now. The place was deserted. I mean as deserted as any government office can be!!! (ONLY 5 people in front of us. YES 5. We were BLOWN AWAY).
Day 15: Risk our lives to eat. The true test of how much you miss Malaysia (or rather Malaysian food is measured by how many lanes of highway you have to cross to eat it. For example, Hokkien mee is a 3 lane standard, followed by dodging motocyles and cars trying to order while driving through a gauntlet of vendors lining a 1 lane inner road. Coconut juice, on the other hand, I'll only cross 2 lanes at the most... On a more personal note, I've personally notched up 12 whole days of CCF for breakfast or dinner so far!
