New York City

Hello there from New York City!

I really miss everyone back home and some more than others. I'm sorry if I looked totally happy to leave but I'd have to admit, it took me awhile before I finally realized that I won't be going home so soon. This isn't a vacation, this is IT! I'm planning to return at the end of the year because there's someone I need to drag back to Ohio with me when SHE finally applies for Mount Union. I can't say much here. Its like 3am and I have another long day ahead tomorrow. I'll try to vlog as often as I can so keep yourself updated on my YouTube channel and my blog right here. =)

I love you Penang!

Week Without Internet

This is the complete playlist of my entire week. =)

Week Without Internet - Day #7

I didn't leave the house at all on Day #7 so there was nothing to vlog about. Sister came to my room when my week was finally over just to see that stupid look on my face as I jumped for joy and made my fan go "CLANG". ANYWAY....... ITS OVER!

Week Without Internet - Day #6

I finally got a chance to go to the Penang Pesta! Well its a yearly thing but I was never really interested. Since I'm about to leave for studies I thought maybe I should go for once. Its been a long time since I last stepped foot within the Pesta grounds. Sadly it was disappointing. What used to be a carnival was now a huge night market. Gambling is illegal to a "majority" of the "locals" and somehow carnival games were classified as gambling. I wonder how that works. So no carnival games for me. I didn't get to shoot down things with water guns. I didn't get to win big gifts that would be inappropriate for me to own. Sadly, even my FIRST EVER cotton candy was disappointing. I've lived 19 years not having cotton candy and built such a hype towards my first one. I will not have cotton candy again. Here's my Day 6 story:

Week Without Internet - Day #5

It was Melvin's cousin, Vanessa,s birthday and I was invited. It was a nice family celebration and I'm glad to have been included. They were mostly so musically talented it was amazing watching them perform.

Week Without Internet - Days #3 & #4

So its was Day 3 and my family decided to head over to Hatyai, Thailand for 2 days. Penang's water supply was supposed to be cut off for a day. I haven't been to Hatyai in a long time so it was nice to go back there. Did a little shopping and went home the next day. This is my story for Day 3 and 4.

Week Without Internet - Day #2

It was my last day as a coach. Guess what, I forgot to put the memory card into the camera. So I didn't get to vlog until I was back home. Had steamboat dinner at home and that was it.

Week Without Internet - Day #1

I started my internet-less week on Christmas day. Not the smartest move but I'm glad I did it. It was my last weekend as coach at the Penang Squash Academy. After Saturday's sessions, I went to a Christmas event by Penang First Assembly of God as I was invited by my brother from another mother, Melvin Chuah. OK maybe from another father as well.
