I'm back to Penang!

wwwAfter my hectic training days in Michelangelo's, i finally had a chance to catch a breath of fresh air.


About 7 weeks of holidays, WHAO WHAO WEE WHAO!


June and i decided long ago to go back to Penang for holiday and we finally made it.


I departed from Kuantan while June and Junior departed from KL.




It's 9 hours of sitting in the bus for me.




I hardly got any sleep because the bus kept emitting this -dee dee deeeeeeeee- sound for 3 hours straight. To make matter worse, i don't find myself sleeping very comfortably in a sitting position because the bus is very shaky.




Rain-after market


We met at the Penang's bus station wee early in the morning, before the sun rises.


June had our itenary all well planned and our first destination - morning market.

Fresh greens and all sorts of food stuff


Honestly, where do you see a bunch of teenagers pulling their luggage and carrying bags walking around the wet market so early in the morning?

The aunties and uncles stared at us like we're aliens.


Well, we love attention.

Keoy Teow T'ng


We has some simple breakfast to fill our empty stomach and to prepare us for the rest of the day.


After breakfast we made our way to Komtar to look for bus ticket to go back 2 days later. Due to balik-kampung season, most of the tickets are sold out. So i had to go to Butterworth to take the bus if i wish to go back before class starts.

Putu Mayam




I've booked hotel room in Paradise Batu Feringghi for all of us, but Junior's dad is a member of Leisure Cove so we got free accommodation there, and it's a suite! thank you uncle.




Waiting for response from Leisure Cove




The bus ride up in Rapid Penang brings back memories.




The whole bus is ours.


Front desk

Checking in to our comfy beds and huge suite.

After a brief refreshment we went to take a bus further up to Batu Feringghi's one and only Golden Sands Resort Hotel.


The 3 J's.

In conclusion, we went everywhere to disturb everybody.

Nobody changed, except the whole hotel seem to be very quite because the hotel is under renovation.


We had a blast in Kuda Laut having our lunch with mocktails from our dearest bartender.

Juicy beef burger served with crispy french fries and a glass of refreshing mocktail



Club sandwich


The lunch was really heavy i can barely walk properly. There's one thing i never get to do last time when i was in Penang - horse riding.


I'm going to do it for sure this time.


The guy brought 2 horses out and i immediately fell in love with the brown with whites horsie. It's so friendly!

Getting my arse up there.


Getting up on a horse is no easy for me, cuz i have short legs.

"Kamu panjat! lompat atas!!!" the guy commanded.

"Hooowww???"

I got it!

It's quite scary to be honest, i felt quite unstable but i was okay after it started to walk.

Too bad horse can't smile.


"JUNIOOORRR!!! TAKE PICTURE!!! FASTER!!!!"


Horse speed versus human speed.

Female warriors.


We took a short walk from one end to another, sometimes she refuses to obey the guy and he would forcefully pull her and i felt abit sad.

It literally bowed to me, and few very aggresive nodding!


Everything was lovely except the scorching sun burning on my skin. I felt so hot i'm gonna pass out, so it's a perfect timing to return to the bar for some drinks!

I had no idea what on earth is this, but it taste quite good.


Adam's creation


JENG JENG!!




Maybe i present you the ultimate yummicious-taste-like-heaven-one-of-a-kind Frozen Black Irish.

Oh i love it!!!

Junior loves it too!

Bartenders that cracked our heart out during work.


We went back to the first department and the much talkabout by ME Adzenture Zone for some fun time!

The place brings back so much of memories i felt an instant pang of happiness as i enter in.

We got our socks and hand warmers and headed down the slides like no one's business.

WEEEwaaaAAAAAA!!!!!

I hesitated DAMN long down the Demon Drop (higher one) when i finally caught my breath and went down screaming like a moron.

Used to be my after work leisure.

We ended up upstairs watching cartoon with the kids. Junior felt asleep and i felt so sleepy.

Guess what?



We headed to the beach again!


Down under.

A guy holding a strap that leads to a horse came to us and gave us an offer, we'll get to control the horse on our own or he won't charege us. I was not going to go for a second round and softly told him that i've taken a ride earlier.

JUNE, on the other hand, stared at me and look very tempted.

The ride we took earlier left her unsatisfied because she wanted to 'manouver' the horse herself, yes it's dangerous because you might get away with the horse running and break your back and all sorts of unexpected accidents.

After much consideration and a lot more psyco marketing tricks and endless bargain both of them JUNE and JUNIOR got on the horse.


with ONE SEAT!!!

I almost cracked my head off because it really a small seat and with Jun Ren sitting behind a hot girl, who knows what might happen 'down there'.


It's even more funny when i realized they are on a horse!! because when the horse walk you'll jump a little in the air. Looks like sex in public.


They look like they really enjoy the ride.

June looks satisfied too.


Finally they got off the horse and i was still laughing at both of them. Luckily i didn't get on the horse.

Hehehe, horse meat for dinner.

We were about to go back until we saw Mosses in Kuda Laut and ran to him like crazy people. I stood on the stool and told him i want a glass of F.B.I.

He blended a whole lot more for me and June and Adamn made something special for Junior.

Specials only for their bitches.

Bliss

Mossie




Junior with his special.



The first 10 minutes..



5 more minutes later she's as red as a lobster.

Then she got wasted.

Then naik gila.

I'm getting tad high with Singapore Sling.

They made us stop pouring us anymore cocktail.

Adam Lala

Semua muka merah macam tomato.


We finished our drinks and bid farewell with them and head out the hotel. It's a beautiful day and the sun is setting.


We took a few more photos before we leave.

Free show.


Who's da boss now?!



We went to Golden Sands restaurant for something light before we dead back for bed.




I'm already feeling half dead.







Looks like the alcohol has taken over her, gonna pass out anytime.



****************************************************************************

UGHH...



I can't really get up from bed because i was too tired, i managed to do so.



Only after like a 10 thousand times of snooze.




I'll fly out the bus anytime.




We got on the bus and went to Penang Road. I was too hungry so i bought a packet of Doritos when we walked past Giant.






Doritos with Crysentimum tea.



We ordered Penang Laksa and Char Koey Teow.







Bowls of fragrant Penang laksa.


Fried Koey Teow with humongus prawn

After an oily meal, June and Junior can't wait to eat the oh-so-famous cendol located just beside the restaurant. I didn't have any cuz i'm not a fan of cendol.



After that we went over to Beryl's chocolate boutique. Seriously man, that place can make you FAT!!! you can try just about all the chocolates on display. I was about to puke cuz i just had a heavy meal. Later we went over to a striking blue painted building.

Cheong Fatt Tze's Mansion.


We has a tour with others from Mexica/Spain (anywhere else that speaks Spanish). So their tour guide had to translate everything single word our english tour guide said to the group of Spanish. We're like having a class!!

The house is awesome. Filled with Feng Shui elements, detail craftmanship and lots and lots of rooms!

After the tour finish while i'm sitting on the bench at the front entrance i noticed something very. VERY familiar.


It's my sister's last name.


then when i put my eyes one level lower...


It's MY freakin' last name!




Just when i thought it's over, and i glanced through the other doors. I saw something again.


MY friggin' middle name!



My oh My, i must have been related to this super rich dude man.

Testing the durability of the camera.


Took a few more pictures before we left.




OMG looks like one of those photo they like to take for Taylor's brochure.



We left Cheong Fatt Tze's Mansion and went over to the police station to wait for our friends to come and pick us up to go to the botanical garden.


This particular piece of land is very patriotic.

It's a pretty hot day.. i'm getting a bit restless.



Komtar and June


Robin came with this motorbike and told us his friend will come to get us to botanical garden. But first we went to Ghee Hiang to us some biscuits back home. Actually we wanted to get Him Hiang but they closed their shop already.

The botanical garden is such a beautiful place!

There's Lao Kao(monkeys) everywhere!!!

Black face, pink ass, hairy...


There's a lot of people from young age to senior citizen enjoy their jog at this place. If i live in Penang i would probably go their as often too because it's so beautiful.


Can you spot anything peculiar in this photo?

Actually there's nothing.


WHOA, that's a lot of hands!



Lala la la~~


Looks like we're the student of Cambridge University in our campus field.


Robin Hood






June playing.


Waiting for me to feed her.



"You see... the polar bear is swimming now, we should save the world!!!"


Overall experience in that place is wonderful. So tranquil and serene, and every inch of that place is very photogenic! I wish to go back there again.

After a series of doubtful moments of going where to eat, we finally made our decision to go to Bai Yun Shan (White Clouds hill) for dinner.

According to them this place serves cheap and nice western food.

I ordered a bottle of cincao and June ordered a bottle of soya bean.


Then we mixed them together!

Yummies!



They were so surprised when i told them i have never tried chicken chop in my entire life. SO i ordered one.


June's Hawaiian Chicken something..


My chicken chop.


One thing, i don't really like the sauce they served with the chicken chop, and i don't like the batter that coats the chicken. I'm not a very sweet-and-sour-flour-coated-meat person.



But because i was hungry, i ate half of it.

Another half goes to JR.

The night ended quite bitterly.

I bought a pair of heels.

Club looks dead.

We went dead.


*****************************************************************************

The next morning is a sunny day. We packed our stuff and had a small breakfast with Yao Wei. We took the bus and went to Komtar again.

Very ambitiously, we wanted to walk to City Hall.

June's most wanted destination.

We walk.


And we walk.


I bought a packet of coconut water and stand in front of CIMB bank

because they left the door opened and the aircond flows out.

More walking continue



Finally!!!!

JENG JENG JENG!!

The city hall of Penang!


June:"WHAT?!?!? this is it?!?! what the hell man?!?!"


Look at her expression.



We end up go over to the opposite to see tributes to the dead.


And chill by the sea.



BORING



We catch the bus and went back to our hotel to get out stuff. Bus is at 9.30pm at night and we have to go over to Butterworth.


Thanks to June and Junior for this trip!

I really enjoyed myself!
