Bro's Convocation

Just completed my first post for the night but still cannot sleep, the caffeine is really working. So I shall post my second entry and hopefully by the end of this entry, I can just doze off on the keyboard.

Last week, my family went to Kuala Lumpur for my brother's convocation. We stayed at our relatives' place and had a fun-filled family gathering.
We paid a little extra for an eighteen-seater coach. The seats are pretty spacious and comfy. There are also individual television installed with a selection of movies for passengers to watch and kill time. However, with the price we paid, we were a little disappointed to not be served any food or drinks.

We went to the night market within walking distance from my relative's house and I discovered some food which could not be found in Penang.
Really greasy and sinful burger. The bun and the fillings are all deep fried and I personally don't quite like it.
Cartoon-characters sponge cake.
Really really huge spring rolls. It is about three times the normal spring roll.
Stinky fried bean curd. It is a popular street delicacy in Hong Kong and I was suprised to find it in Kuala Lumpur. We could smell the stench from afar but decided to give it a try. I find that it smells must worse than it taste.

The day my brother has been waiting for......
What's graduation without a bouquet of flowers ?

To celebrate my brother's big day, we went for dinner at a chinese restaurant. The food was delicious but it was a long wait. The chef took his own sweet time to churn out the sumptuous dishes despite the big crowd. In the end, we waited for an hour plus for dinner to be served.

Ais kacang for dessert at the night market and that concludes my short visit to Kuala Lumpur.

It's already 2am now and it's raining cats and dogs here in Penang. I am still not very sleepy but I will try counting sheeps to sleep. Good night!!
