April was a month of roller coaster of physical and emotional experiences for me. Fun and colourful. As Tonio went to Europe for work, I stayed back in Penang doing the necessary preparations for the cafe. Being a less- organised other half, I do things much slower than if Tonio was around. I finally felt ooooooh, now that he's gone I don't have to always check my accounts daily !
One day, Josh called me. We had a chat. We went out for lunch. The next day he stayed over at mine.
No, it's not what you think.
Josh is a member of the Love Bus. He came to Penang three weeks ahead of time for a gig.
Love Bus soon filled the space of the official pre-opening of Soul Kitchen. After the honour of encountering the intellectual stimulating conversationalist Josh, I met talented vocalist Erin , cheerful sunshine Tab, then came Jason and Luisa, the Australian German love birds, and later came sweet Charlie boy.
They were having a great time warming up at Soul Kitchen with creatively painting their bus. The Love Bus, that is. Selina, a fun & sociable-part-time Penangite, joined in the irresistible fun.
They manged to finish the bus hours just before the gig.Credits go to that someone who bought a fridge on that day. I should've revealed earlier that it was a fridge box.With full confidence,
Charlie, led by Jason on the wheel of the bus that goes round and round, paraded down Muntri Street. They attracted a number of curious onlookers including my wonderful neighbours on our left. For their first gig in Malaysia, Love Bus played in Penang at 62, Weld Quay.
Josh met Andrea, a Chilean Chef who used to work in New Zealand and told her to go to
Soul Kitchen to meet me up. Andrea came with Owen and together we baked the most amazing fish pizza man had ever eaten.
We finished the pizza before we could take any pics. Typical hungry pizza lovers.
