part 005 : the hometown goodbyes

I went back to Penang a few days back to say my goodbyes to the family there. It was only for a few days, and so I didn't have time to meet everyone. The problem is that families in Penang are very close-knit and well, nearly everyone is related to everyone else. For example, the 'cousin' who sits next to Azhan in school? Nabil? He isn't really my cousin. To go into specifics, I think he is my grandmother's sister's husband's cousin's nephew. Or my grandmother's sister's husband's cousin's son. I'm not too sure.

Anyway, I hitched a ride to the Island with my Grandmother's sister's daughter who is a really fast driver. Reached the Penang bridge in about 3 hours only. Aside from the family visits, I contacted a few old friends from MGS Penang and we went out to the Gurney Mall to catch a movie. At the mall met a few other old classmates.

Relatives were very generous, bringing me out for dinners and giving 'green packets'. Thank you very much :).

Wanted to buy some souvenirs from penang for the american family but seeing as how I'm still host family-less, I will probably get some things from central market back in KL instead.

AFS letters stated the requirement of imunization for their students. I don't want to get immunisized. What do I do?

Have not proof read and edited this post yet. Excuse grammatical and spelling errors pls.
