Warning: Long post ahead!!!
The most important thing of all is that I have to thank HIM for guiding our way otherwise I won't be able to tell you what happened for the past few days(exaggerating actually)...
Went to Penang with my college mates on Tuesday... Met up with Wei Xian and Kah Chong at KL Sentral to take the LCCT bus to airport... Reached LCCT coffee bean at 11.30am with Jit Kin, Charmaine, Kelly, Chi Chun, Kuan Hui and Chanranyah... We got prepared for the plane by 12.30pm and the flight was 1.40pm... This is the 1st time thaat I have boarded a plane since my age is a 2 digit number... Felt good and saw some panoramic views of mother nature... We reached Penang Airport at about 2.30pm and had to wait for our bloody luggage to arrive... After that, we had our lunch of waffles and McD... Then we waited for our bus to jetty for our transit to our apartment... The journey from the airport to our apartment took almost 3 bloody hours...!!!
Lashiny checked in for us and we just needed to wait for Chi Chun, Kelly and Charanyah to return as they went to get us the return bus tickets... After that, we had dinner at Gurney Drive, we went there by rapidPenang bus and came home by taxi... We ordered loads of food and shared all of it... They were quite nice... When we went back, we took turns to bath and we started playing a card game, which requires us remember our mates' false identity to fit the theme of the round... We started slow, and suddenly it heated up, we started shouting and inevitably laughed out loud especially when Wei Xian reveals his own identity because he can't remember ours... I lost my voice after that, fortunately it recovered after having a good sleep(from 3am-7am)...
Day 2- Chi Chun and Wei Xian woke me up to 'see' the sunrise... We explored an isolated 'island' which is only metres wide...haha!!! But the sun has already rose... So we head back to the apartment and wake all of them up as the day's activity would be heading to the beach... Unfortunately, the tide was too strong, so we can't swim in the sea, we can only try to stand against the strong tide, and that was what we did... It was quite dangerous though, because at times we can't control our movement at all as the tide was too strong and it can flush us anywhere... Later on, we went back to the pool in our apartment to swim and to not waste Kuan Hui's effort of blowing the ball, so we played 'Monkey' with it in the pool... By night, we wanted to have our dinner at Oriental Seafood Restaurant but then we changed our plans just because Kuan Hui went to toilet and we saw the promotion of RM 19.90 eat all you can at the restaurant in our apartment... Now you know how much a single step can change... The food was rather salty but it satisfies quantitily and not qualityly... After that, we went to the night market at Teluk Bahang... When we went back, we played a game called 'Electric Shock' which was really fun!!! Slept at 4 and woke up at 9 or 10...
Day 3- The day where we own the car!!! Yeah!!! We rented a Viva and a Wira(manual)... The Viva was for the girls and the Wira was for the guys... We went to Chinatown for our lunch because we wanted to go to Kek Lok Si(the temple)... The only food there was Asam Laksa which I can't eat... Grrrrr...!!! Ate all those fried things though... Then we headed to Kek Lok Si and saw a lot of things there... After that, we bought some Guai Ling Gou and ate it on the cable car in Bukit Bendera... When we were heading back home, we played 'Electric Shock' in the cable car again and everyone around us was like 'what the heck are these 10 people doing?!' haha!!! We felt damn tired after all those activities, so we had a rest at the apartment and by the time we were ready to have our dinner, it was already 10.30pm, we went to Oriental Seafood Restaurant because that was what we wanted to have the day before, unfortunately it closed, so we can only eat at Gurney Drive but this time, it is another end of it, guess they take shifts to open the stalls...haha!!! After the meal that we shared as usual, we went to Gurney Plaza to see if there's any midnight shows available, but the cinema closed... Even those pubs are quite empty, I guess there's just no night life in Penang...!!! So we decided to drive around instead of heading home at 12am... Little did we know that our drive around plan turned into a-I-wanna-get-back-home-ASAP-plan!!! Both of our cars were travelling together all the while, and Wira has got RM30 petrol and Viva RM20 petrol... We wanted to see the Penang Bridge and get home after that, but we took a big round back to our apartment which made us pass through the whole island... We went to Balik Pulau(never ever go there!!!)... God damn it, the roads there were damn hilly and narrow and there are no street lights!!! So we were surrounded by trees and darkness...!!! Before that, we swapped cars, Wei Xian, Chi Chun(Wira driver) and me swapped places with Kelly, Jit Kin(Viva driver) and Charmaine as Kelly wanted to try the manual car... When we went into Balik Pulau, Charanyah, Lashiny and I were so worried that Kelly cannot handle it but the car was behind us all the while... Such a huge relief... But then, there was another complication-we have 20-30km to travel back and the Wira uses a lot of petrol so we were afraid that the petrol was gonna be used up before we reached home, but thanks to Wei Xian's think positive aura, it calmed us all...
After a long journey, we finally managed to get out of the hills to a long road... Suddenly, Charmaine phoned and said that the Wira's tyre went flat, so we went back to see... When I stepped out of the Viva, I heard noises, which Jit Kin interpreted as a lil boy crying for help but all of us knows that its just a cat... All of us panicked because we have a long way to go and we don't know how to change the tyre!!! So, I called Hare Jsr immediately to ask him how to change, but then, kudos to Kuan Hui for paying attention during the undang classes, he was doing what Hare Jsr just told me... Thank God, that we managed to change our tyre... Due to safety reasons, we swapped our places back, and now I was seriously worried about our petrol consumption!!!
Whenever I heard noises, I will double confirm it with Kuan Hui, then we will call Chi Chun to pull over to check if the tyre is still performing well... We stopped twice and along the journey Chi Chun kept saying he wanted to fart...lol!!!
By the time we reach home, it was 3.30am, then we had a lil discussion about what had happened... Then only we knew that we went through a hell of adventure(by hell, I seriously meant H-E-L-L!!!)
During our 1st stop to check the tyre, Jit Kin saw a sign saying 'AWAS, kemalangan sering berlaku'... 2nd stop, when we went down, we only saw a white building full of lights, but according to the passengers in Jit Kin's car, we stopped right in front of the cemetery(having goosebumps right now)!!! Holy shit, scary ain't?! And on the journey home, Wei Xian said he saw a leng lui which none of us saw...
After these discussions, they brought the presents that they bought for me in the night market- 3 king boxers!!! When I received it, I wanted to say 'Thank you' but as I saw the contents, the frustation just overflowed my jubilant feelings... Posed some pics with it due to the request from them...
The clock struck 5++am that time, we wanted to watch sunrise but everyone started to sleep so, the plan was cancelled indirectly...
Day 4-Last day... Woke up at 10am and felt rather gloomy... This is because it will be the last day that we will be together... Such a sad departure... Tried to be happy but just can't get any better...
Missing everyone now!!! Hope to see everyone again soon...
Last but not least, Thank you Lord for paving our way out through the darkness...
P/S: Pics will be uploaded ASAP...
