2015 marks the first year I spent Mid Autumn Festival away from home. This being the first made me miss the times when I spent most of my week before Mid Autumn Festival playing with candles and paper lanterns. Nevertheless, sis got me moon cakes and we ate to our hearts content. I'm usually not the type that eats moon cake since I don't really like the outer layer but this time the one we ate was different than the traditional ones. We had blueberry flavored and taro flavored ones. Only tried the blueberry moon cake and shall taste the other one later.  

Hopefully for my semester break in December, I would have a chance to go during the night. This time, I'll definitely get a different drink (fingers crossed, hah!). Totally recommended Starbucks outlet for people who enjoys beach walks and coffee along the way. If you're intending to go to the beach, please wear slippers. I've learnt my mistakes from my previous trip. Hah. 

A movie worth watching if you're a big fan of Pixar movies. The emotions I felt after watching Inside Out was too overwhelming. The movie was the talk out the month! Even in college, I can hear people talking about the movie, especially about one of the character, Bing Bong. Highly recommended! 

Synopsis: 

Inside Out is set in the mind of a young Minnesota girl, Riley Andersen, where five personified emotions—Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust—try to lead her through life as she moves with her parents to a new city, San Francisco, after her father got a new job.

For this semester of college, I rarely get to return back to Ipoh, my hometown. However, I went back to Ipoh today for cousin's wedding dinner.
Woke up at 9 to shower and got ready to head out at 11. Since the bus stop is so near my apartment block, I didn't have to walk that much. I don't know if I'm lucky or what, I didn't have to wait for the bus since once I reached the bus stop, straight came the bus to jetty.
The ride to jetty took longer than expected? Reached the bus terminal 30 minutes later and had to walk all the way to the netty area which was quite tiring considering the fact that I had to carry a bag with Baker's Cottage mooncake (for Mom). But the weather was bearable so it was still okay. Waited for the ferry to arrive for 15 minutes and the ferry ride to Butterworth was 40 minutes long. I was in seasickness mode at that time (YIKES!). Thankfully did not vomit, was just a bit lightheaded which did not last that long.
Walked towards the bus terminal which was a long tedious walk. It was so far away and with all the lugagge and massive crowd, I wanted to just drop everything. Took me a while to reach the bus terminal and get my bus ticket. Had to wait till 1 for my bus. And the weather in Butterworth wasn't helping at all. The waiting area had limited fans and seats to accommodate the crowd.
When the bus arrived, first one to get on it and hurriedly rush towards my seat cause I thought someone will steal my window side seat and I would have to spend my time explaining to them that this window seat is mine according to my booking info. Luck was on my side again, no one sat beside and across my seat, SCORE! The journey along the way was kind of smooth except for the moment when we were at Kuala Kangsar and there was a sudden jam which delayed my travel time. But all was good when I touched down in Ipoh at 3.15PM, safe and sound.
Too bad that I have to go back tomorrow morning (Thanks, Monday college classes).  Can't wait to come back to Ipoh during my long semester break, but I doubt I'll do much. Probably just gonna laze around at home, something I can rarely do back in Penang.

Two days ago, I had to take a Uber ride to college due to the massive rain! Taking two public bus rides was a big no no at that moment. So, I ordered my ride at 8 in the morning and it arrived 15 minutes later. It was considered fast with all the rain. flash flood and traffic jam. The driver, Roy, was kind enough to apologize for being late and 15 minutes later, I arrived at my college! So, yay!
