Adapting to my surroundings

I miss Queensbay Mall.

Now that we've moved to the Northern part of the island... and I study as well as work around the Tjg. Tokong-Bt. Feringghi area, I tend to avoid driving to the other side of the island where Queensbay Mall is located. What a pity!

It is such a nice mall too. My favourite hang-out spot ~ once upon a time. Shopping there (which includes window-shopping) is more affordable for my humble pockets than at the high-end, touristy, expatriate places in our vicinity! Looking on the bright side of things, I will save more money by not shopping (and window-shopping) so much, haha.

Gurney Plaza is quite OK - but it lacks the down-to-earth-ness of Queensbay Mall.

For example, I'd feel odd if I went to Gurney Plaza or Straits Quay dressed like I would if I were shopping at Queensbay Mall.

We are getting used to doing our grocery-shopping at Tesco's Tjg. Pinang. We have yet to visit the Tuesday Pasar Malam behind the bus-station.
