Before i forget...
Penang trip with poly friends. Daniel, Edmund, Joel and Junwen. :)
A great 3 days spent in Penang.
I'm gonna try to remember every single detail i can possibly think of as a good memory. (:
Day 1:
Arrived at the airport and joel and edmund was there already.
and then waited for 30 mins for those 2 to come. stay the closest, yet last to arrive. LOL. bitches
joke of the day was: Joel went to gym on that very day. LOLOL. isn't that funny. hahahaha.
When those 2 came, got our tix from jetstar and then went off to eat at Texas chicken. fucking puny chickens, so lil meat yet so expensive. same price as popeyes though. after eating the time was up and we boarded the A320 3K675 jetstar flight. a very small aircraft with a very tight cockpit. Reached our destination in 1 hour's time. pretty fast.
When we arrived junwen tried calling his cousin. but to no avail. ended up having to use payphone. then we took bus 401 to Komtar, ended up at the jetty. LOL. overshot alot. dunno where we were. so took a cab. next thing we know. BANG. the car 'hit' the front honda car. his carplate was 3755 if i remembered wad the taxi driver told me. there wasn't any scratches but the honda driver demanded 50 RM as compensation. wtf right? we were delayed for awhile but that honda driver no give up. he just took out his phone and snapped pictures of the cabbie and his carplate no.
so next we arrived at our hotel- Hutton Lodge. A relatively nice place to stay in. :) oh btw, we took 2 taxis. 3 and 2. checked in the hotel. took off to our room and just chilled for awhile before we headed out for dinner at gurney drive. took 101. panicked. didn't know where to stop. ask around and we found out where. the food was nice. much much better than 85 and chomp chomp. easily 10 out of 10. :) food's bloody cheap. 10 wanton for 3 ringgit. 1 big plate of fried oyster for 12 ringgit. EVERYTHING IS SOOOOO SOOO NICE THERE. and we wanted to eat penang laksa. so wads penang laksa? we only had assam laksa. so wads assam laksa. it remains a cloudy blur until on the last dae. lol. and we had our full. headed back to the lodge and enjoyed our humble abode for the next dae.
Day 2:
woke up real early. ok not that early for 5bx but early enuff for any holiday kids @ around 9am. went for our complementary continental breakfast which only has 2 slices of toast bread 1 cup of orange juice and 1 slice of cake. hahaha continental indeed. next up! adventure for day 2! took a bus 101 to lets see. where's batu ferringi again? its the beach! but dun expect the expected. we were heading for the beach. we saw toy museum on the way. so we alighted and went to check it out, thinking we were near the beach.
yep it sure did. somehow the signs led us to the public beach. which is actually something bungah-the street name. we were lets say at least 10 to 15 clicks away from batu ferringi. so we wandered and wandered further in. and in. we went thru the beach and trespassed several PRIVATE PROPERTY. scary indeed. we feared for the worst. trespassing is a serious offence. "trespassers will be prosecuted" and so that was what it meant.
"the enemies can have guns". in this case. the rich and powerful might have some weapons to protect themselves. Hands up and ask for forgiveness. tts wad we did. and the owner opened the gate for us to leave. and then we continued our then 5 click walk. again until we arrived at hydro hotel. it was fucking far. even the bus that we took to return to komtar took about 10 mins to reach from where we alighted. well back to the main highlight of the day. at hydro hotel we asked for directions. and so we "sillifully" continued to where the person told us to go- golden sands hotel.
we alighted and guess what. we met someone. our brather JAY!! so excited. or rather afraid. LOL when we got down he just asked us to go to the beach. he bring us there. "i bring u there brather. i bring u. water sport? cheap cheap i offer u cheap." and so on. then he followed us when we said we were going to eat. i bring u there bratha. wad u wan eat? kentucky? nasi kandar? i bring u there. LOL. later the daring joel went up to him and told him we weren't going. there were tears in his eyes. but alas felt relieved and ate peacefully. the nasi goreng was splendid. nice stuff. :)
went back to komtar after that to the lodge. and then we wifi-ed out the location of the famous tow sa pheah! there are 2 addresses: him heang and ghee heang. 1 at jalan macalister and another at jalan burma. navigated our way to ghee heang instead of him heang which was the 1 we planned out initially. hahah! we just wandered and found our way. not bad huh. everyone we asked was telling us different ways to get there and how far it was and where's the landmark and things like that. but that didn't help us at all! we were walking with our gutfeel and instinct as we got used to it from our previous 5 6 click 'march'. hahahaha. we didn't see any landmarks any passersby we spoke to. after we bought our stuff from ghee heang. went back to hotel and then went to eat cendol. awesome stuff!. with the gula melaka. its imba. really. a must try. only 2 ringgit. :) as for dinner we ate hongkong food at the prangin mall. and then a movie treat for only 8 ringgit!! the takers. the cinema was big. but sux really. seats were smelly and screen was small. sound systems not there. i guess the 8.50 sgd tix we're paying is really for quality. but its still too steep. 8.50 sgd is around 18 ringgit. lol. i can watch 1 show + free popcorns and maybe more food in My.
Day 3:
suckiest day of all. went to Taman negara Penang. well the park was a fun walk. saw monkeys. and there were swings hanging from tree branches that we played on. really cool. the beaches were clean and clear. and we took a canopywalk which is really boliao. just a short walk and it cost 5 rm. but nvm it was all for experience. we didn't proceed any further as time was almost up for us to go back to the airport. tts where the worst kicked in. i had a fever at that time already. then we walked back to take a bus. it was already 1pm when we took the bus i think. i was in pain while in the bus. feeling of vomitting and possibly diarrhoea. how i wished time was forwarded so i could vomit. after an hour on the ride. finally when i alighted, found a drain and vomited 4 times. blehhh. BLEHHH. BLeEhhHhh. BLEEHHHHHH.
Wow. Kimouchiii is how i will explain my feeling. wayyyy way way better. but still there's the fever. so went backto lodge and prepared to go airport. arrived at airport nvr eat anything while the rest ate mac. lol i was too sick to drink or eat anything. got on board and came back to sg. bought a cologne for my bro as a birthdae gift. then went to see the doc at whitesands. i swore i coulda fainted anytime. my fever was at 38.5 or even higher than the time i took measurement. Arl is vell. :)
And today. i'm feeling the best of the best. my fever subsided after all the slps and care my mum has given me. i wanna thank her for being there for me. cooking mee sua and caring for me even at the early morning of 4 5am to wake me up for my medicine. thanks mum. well i couldn't really express how i feel to her. but at least i know that i don't take things for granted. :)
definitely a long post. i'll be gone for malacca tml. another 3 days. and then the dae will arrive for my enlistment on the tuesdae 9th of nov 2010.
Cheers.

warm up as usual. did some jogging to bring up my heartrate. and then ran 2 slow rounds around my house. used the breathing technique and swallowed saliva which i alwaes didn't to see if will kena stitch anot. but all is well. :) eventful jogging todae.
after that did pyramid pull ups starting from 8. all the way to 1. and there's a maths formula that i will nvr forget. which is [ n ( n + 1 ) ] / 2. hahah. so 8 + 7 + 6 + ... + 1 = (8 * 9) / 2 = 36!
