Penang Trip!!!! (DAY 1) 28-12-2009

hei!!! what's up people!!!! did u guys miss me???? no? nvm.....

after abandoning my blog for quite sometime, its time to revive it. Whatever.

so, first day, woke up around 7am. Really dont feel like waking up cause slept 3am last night.zzzzzzzzz. Anyway, i got up and got ready. Thanks to my kind father, i got a ride to KL Central (though it was on his way to work). Reach KL Central around 815. Bought a ticket from a not-so-kind lady and head off to the KL KTM terminal.

waited for boon wei and shereen there for bout 20 min and they finally show up. den everyone wait for the bus patiently. except for munn sing who got here 1min before the bus starts.

Took us about 5 hours to Penang.zzzzzzz. my ass was definitely out of shape by the time we reach Penang. Meet up wit boon siew at the bus stop and took 2 cab to the hotel. Wanna guess the fare??? forget it, its RM30. though i saw the reading on the meter only RM20. well u cant blame them, Penang really doesnt have that much roads for them to earn a living.......

So, after reaching the hotel, we divided into each respective rooms. Me, Boon Siew, Ching Yoon and Joovee were in one room while Boon Wei, Jason, Munn Sing, and Shereen in one room. After putting down my luggage, me and my roommates went to my grandma's place to get the car that my too-kind/ godlike uncle borrow us. An Avanza leh!!!!! ( i aint putting a photo of that car since there are plenty of them on the road, go see for urself)

Greeting my grandma.......and grandpa......

see this people, happily cam whoring while i get the keys......

So after getting the car happily, we drove all the way back to the hotel. Thanks to boon siew the human GPS (literally GPS, so anyone visting Penang can hire him!!!) we got there in no time. Oh yeah, did i tell u that our hotel is called Green Hope Hotel???( though it looks more like a motel.....). Fetch the rest of the gang and head off to hunt for food.

First stop, laksa at Air Hitam!!!! they were so excited bout the food. So went there, took a seat and ordered the food. Since me and jason were not such a big fan for sour food, we order Prawn mee instead of laksa (which i am grateful that i did....)

waiting for the food to come......

girls waiting for the food to come.....

and finally, the food!!!!!

so after devouring the food, photo session is a must!!!!

group picture!!! (with me in it ^^)

Another group!!!!

ah~~~ what can i say??? too sweet!!!!

after spicy food like laksa and prawn mee, and u see a ice cream shop across the street, what would u do???? I am guessing running towards it??? cause that is what we did!!!

Gelato with alcohol!!!!

notice the little bottle of bailey over there???

Is eating ice cream a happy thing????

I am guessing it is ^^

cause look at this fellow's face!!!!!

so after the cheap and tasty ice cream, its time for dinner!!! went to new lane. once again thanks to our "GPS"

nah, the 'new' lane..with the not-so-new guy there.......lol

Loh bak!!!

Char Kuoy Teow, not the best but still good!!!!

satay which i din touch cause my teeth.......

Fried oyster or better know as 'oo jian'

 Black Chicken wing (heed my advise, dont order this!!!)

well we pay for the food we order ourselves. fair. everyone had a great meal!!!!! though we are not full which we did on purpose.....

Groupie!!!!

wooh~~ me and my bowl of curry mee with the gang!!!!

thanks to this fellow, all the chicken wings are gone!!!

i wonder what's on his mind????

well, that's what happen when u put 8 teenagers on the same table.....

after this meal, we still dun feel like goin back to the hotel even though whole body all sticky. Instead, we went to Batu Ferringhi to buy some cheap stuff. well, mostly cheap DVDs........ one for RM4, anyone????

The road to the destination was quite curvy, but for driver like me who goes up and down from cameron, its nothing~~~~ hehe

so after shopping for DVDs, we went back to the hotel. Then, suddenly some fellow still wanna eat, and since boon siew said its kinda near from our hotel, we parked out car and decided to walk.

Its proven, even the most accurate GPS can make mistake!!! the 'kinda-near' walk was about 30min........my toes got two big blisters.....kesian punya saya........

walking happily to the place........

Gurney drive's medan selera

Since everyone is so tired after the walk, me, as the semi tour guide, decided to pull Joovee with me to go look for food. so we bought, muar chee, ikan bakar, rojak, apom and forgot......

Ikan Bakar!!!

Bubble tea!!! (saviour of the night!!!)

after the meal, walk all the way back to hotel again........ though this time it took 20min only. Everyone was tired after the bus trip and the walk, so took a bath and went to sleep.......

THE END for day one~~~~~
