We Miss You, Till We Meet Again...

After our lunch in Penang Road, we went in search for the "famous" biscuits.... I sms-ed Eugene to find out the whereabouts of these tambun biscuits, the ones he bought for us the last time, they were very nice, fresh.... With his instructions, we managed to find the the shop opposite Bukit Jambul Plaza but unfortunately, they were all sold out.

But mind not, we went to the Jelutong side where they manufactured the biscuits! Aaron bought a few boxes for himself... his all-time favourite!

"the three musketeers"

compatible to the Him Heang biscuits...

Soon it was time to leave Penang.... we dropped Aaron in Queensbay Mall to meet up a friend.... with heavy hearts, we bade him goodbye.... I wonder how he was feeling the moment we drove away.... As for me, I was feeling kind of "empty" when we said our goodbyes... wishing he could go home with us too....



My two cute babies...

crossing the Penang Bridge... it was cloudy then...
just like our hearts.... moody too...

concentrating on his driving....
while yours truly dozed off... exhausted...

Today, I heard he is down with fever... sigh......
maybe too much durians and not enough water...
or maybe too exhausted??
Flying up and there within 24 hours!
Do take care, B and God Bless you...
Till we meet again in October....

  2. Your words reminded me of the time when I was posted to Johor, my car and my parents' went on separate ways on the last day of our gathering in KL. Filled with emptiness, we didn't want to leave for our respective destinations but we simply had to... It was indeed painful.

  4. Saying goodbye always come with a weird emotion...empty is not the word for me but probably the longing to catch a glimpse of that someone, the desire to want to just be around a little longer...
    I always remember how it feels to say goodbye to my family when I first went to UM for my studies...

  9. Hi Reana, my wife adores those biscuits. Not me.
    I have always loved Penang, and just before leaving the country, took one last trip there to eat all those Penang well known dishes.

    But I always prefer go on the ferry....hardly on the bridge.
    I guess Penang has changed a lot today.
    Best regards, Lee.

  12. Hi Claire, Yes----saying goodbye to the ones we love is never easy.. I still miss my sons so much --and they are grown and have been gone from home for many years. You do get to see them again --but you still are sad when you have to leave them each time.

    Those biscuits sound YUMMY.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

  22. Saying goodbye is never easy but for your case is easy lah only 2 hours drive away. Was juz kidding with suituapui some time back that all the tambun biscuits in Penang got the 'heang' viz Him Heang, Ghee Heang & Chuan Peng Heang etc etc and would be nice to set up 'tuapui heang' in Sibu but our STP not interested woh. Next time try this one 'Eugene Heang' not bad leh! hehe. Those without the 'Heang' cant be popular in Penang meh? Cant recall the exact name of the shop in Kuantan Road got something 'Dragon'...not sure got 'heang' or not?
