A Traveller's Tale: Heaven is a place in Penang!

In a tropical country, it is sometimes nice to just take a stroll in shopping malls for these places are fully air-conditioned and offer respite from the intense heat of the tropical sun. And that was true too even in a tropical paradise like Penang where tourists throng to. I could never understand the foreign tourists whom I had seen lying on Ferringhi Beach under the blazing hot sun just to tan their bodies. I don't suppose they would hang around Queensbay Mall like me and find bliss, too. It was really heaven when I called up Thuan Hee who came and we had a herbal drink in the foodcourt. Later, before Eng Lai came and picked me up, we even had teh tarik at the Mamak shop across the road. As Belinda Carlisle sang, Heaven is a place on earth and at that particular moment, heaven was in Penang! By the way, teh tarik is a type of tea and Mamak refers to Indian Muslims in Malaysia.
