promoting Penang

last Saturday,  i went to Nasom food fair, and not only to ogling the food and men but to lend hands, helping them. well, it happened because my group mates and i did a research at Nasom centre (the autism association) about the autistic children in their language acquisition. we didnt get an A for it (as i expected), but the experience with the special kids is greater than A. and so in return of their cordial treatment, gladly, we agreed to volunteer and went to the Youth Park at Georgetown from 8 a.m. till 5 p.m. 

the food fair was in conjunction of children's day too, and the fact that Nasom managed to collaborate with the Penang Chef Association made it even more interesting. and so there were kids, parents, kids, parents everywhere. disappointed, there was no sight of hot single man. i was designated to handle 'the most happening' booth, that is a 'pony feeding' booth and so what i did for the entire stay was selling the carrot to the kids so they can feed the pony.

i had a great time there, and of course, there are reasons for that. 

first, it was held in Youth Park and that was actually my first time of stepping onto the greatest part of Penang. i used to loathe Penang, and i hate the fact that Penang provides lesser varieties of Malay food and i still think mamak food is non-edible for daily meals. however, i always love the colonial building in Georgetown, the sea breeze and the greenery part of Penang. 

okay, back to the Youth Park, it is so awesome and i think its a great place to settle in, (if only i am destined to marry a millionaire). it is like a huge recreational park, with green wide field, with bed of tropical flowers planted along the walk way, lots of outdoor gym equipment, kids playground, a small water park for kids, scenic views for the joggers, and i just love it.  the moment you enter the park, you'll see everyone is exercising. jogging, walking, playing, doing tai-chi, biking and i saw none youngsters who think it best to fuck at park, unlike in the other part of Msia where Kebun Bunga or Lake Garden will be notified as places best to date.

secondly because its a charity programme and God knows how i love to contribute something. to be frankly i am not a person who has been exposed with such of these programs. although, i'd love to join, the atmosphere, the people around me, repelled the thought of joining one. not trying to be skeptic, but through the observation that i managed to have after 10 hours of passing the carrots, there were very few malays that attended this event. ok, perhaps it was held in Georgetown, and Georgetown is a Chinese majority district, so perhaps they might not know about this. bullshit. the malays would go to a charity event, if only the press able to capture the shoot of they are holding a check replica, well that is specifically refer to the politicians.

and the third reason, its the best time to improve my spoken English. i was born, raised, schooled and living in an area of only Malays, and so this golden chance i took as an opportunity of improving my communication skill. although i've been learning seriously in english for 3 years, i still have the usual butterflies flying in the tummy whenever i have to make conversation in English. therefore, with the people coming from different background, i took the chance to utilize the language i've learnt. i might sound silly, at least they wont remember my face.

fourthly, it was a place for children, running, kicking, playing, crying, poking and having fun. because i was in charge of the 'pony feeding', i was lucky to witness multiple of funny, laughable kids' actions that can make anyone in awe. i don't usually say this openly, but i kind of like children. and the fact that i am a part time babysitter, i can't resist myself from making a distorted ugly funny face to them. maybe it's because of my callous language, or my clumsy attitude, people find its hard to believe that i able to have this utmost womanly trait. HA HA HA. i am awesome.

okay, so it was a day that only children you'll be seeing and not some hot man with sexy abs. but, there were few hot dads with kids, not less than 5, or maybe 3.

this is not actually my first time of doing charity works, i did participate in beach cleaning day, which was awesome too  because we were covered in newspaper. despite of the bad images that the gomen smeared about Penang, needless to say, Penang is awesome. i salute the Penangites' effort towards living green and staying healthy.
