PENANG Trip day2 (finally??)

YO!!! sorry bout the delay for this post. I am kinda lazy to update my blog, most of the time, as in, always......

so, back to the topic, Day 2.

woke up around 8am again. dun wanna waste anytime sleeping haha. got ready and woke all of them up. So, this morning, i decided to bring them to one of my all time favourite char koay teow store for breakfast. Climb into the car groggily and off we go~~~

on our way.....of course i am driving~~~

well, because we got the white shirt guy in the photo with us, the restaurant is located in no time at all.

TADA!!!!! the famous char koay teow. (as stated in the photo....)

well i bet most of you people havent heard of this store before. that's because it is famous among penangites and not among tourist.....wasted huh?

us waiting the food~~

this is shereen asking us 'wanna eat a???'

this is me being uncomfortable in front of the cam......

Finallly!!! the food!!!! (drooping......)

erm, well this plate of kuoy teow in the photo is a bit special as some of us doesnt eat prawn so naturally, it all went to boon wei's plate (the prince of prawn....lol...) therefore, there are so many prawns. but, is the size that matters rite? not the quantity haha!!!!!

after this satisfying but rather expensive meal (cause i ordered the special one and it cost me RM9 but the taste is heaven-like~~~) some of us wanna exercise a bit to help in digestion, so up we went to kek lok si temple!!! (google it if u dunno bout this temple.....)

stairs climbing+sun burning= sweat coming out like crazy~~ well tats for boon wei only since he is famous of his sweating ability.... though we did sweat quite an amount of sweat.

on our way up the temple, discovered some relatives???? lolx....

Groupie!!!

another unique groupie!!!!

spend a few hours taking photos there.

me with the pillar~~

Then, for some reason, us guys, suddenly become very motivated to climb this tower below in order to see some pretty girl scenery.

so when u top the tower, first thing to do, take picture!!!!!

Peek-a-boo????

two sexy backs~~~

looking good~~~

so i discovered this bell, and decided to check it out. it stated there, make a wish, ring the bell, wish come true. well, nothing to lose to give a try rite? so here i go~~

GONG!!! damn nearly loss my hearing. zzzzzz so that taught me not to be over excited when wishing for something......

after the temple trip, time to cool of a bit. what's the best thing for cooling off besides air-cond??? ice la. (duh....) so went to get some ice to eat~~

nah, ice kacang from komtar walk~~

the god-knows-what from komtar walk~~ (i dun remember what the heck is this....)

the ice kacang was like a gift from heaven. so cooling~~ really have to praise and worship the fellow who invented this food~~

after desert, its time for lunch (huh????). Remember yesterday i went to get the car? well, my too-kind grandma decided to treat us to some true penang food- prawn mee with the word homemade in front. so, drive alll the way to my grand folks place.

chilling while waiting for the masterpiece....

and finally, the masterpiece~~(thanks jason for this mouth watering pic!!)

one word to describe this bowl of essence.. delicious~~~

seemed like after meal photo session has become a trend.......

After this meal, went back to hotel for a bath, then decided to check out the shopping mall in penang, which is a dumb thing to do, since, we got like a dozen of mall over here.........we went queensbay mall. and it really meet my expectation, it looks like a ghost town or zombie infested mall. empty beyond words can describe

i mean, where is the crowd!!! its holiday for christ sake!!!!

so screw the mall visiting, and head off to dinner. this time, munn sing's parents who coincidentally visit penang at the same time as us decided to meet us by buying us dinner. Lucky us~~~~

its a restaurant at jln nagor. a nyonya restaurant. apparently very famous~~

in front of the restaurant.

waiting for food.......

finally, i dunno what this called came!!!!! hehe

erm, its fried chicken rite?

after-meal groupie!!

the kind tauke agree to let us use the private stairs for photo taking~~~

Everyone say thank you to the kind man in the photo!!!!

well believe it or not, the girl in the photo, which is munn sing's sister was my ex-classmate and munn sing is my current classmate. weird huh???

so after this satisfying free meal, is time for some night life!!! after asking my uncle for the relevant areas, we went back to the hotel to change into something more 'proper' and off we go.

went MOIS. not MOS. MOIS, get it right. lucky us, no cover charge needed. so went in happily, then only discovered why no cover charge, cause the place is practically empty!!!! nvm, we stilll went high on our own gang. happy night~~~

then when we still discussing whether to change place, we saw this.....

uh oh......

what a fun-sucking eye-sore view!!! since all the mood were wipe out, we went back to the hotel and rest. well, for most of them at least, cause me, boon wei, jason, munn sing, and shereen went out for McD around 2am b4 turning in. speaking of unhealthy meal hour right???

THE END for Day 2.

PS: pls dont stay tune for day3, cause i have no idea when will i post it. will inform those who are interested~~~

oh yeah, for more photos, kindly click this link.--> ching yoon's photos!!!!!

till next time then~~~

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~~~~~
