Hello my friends! I'm back from my holidays in Penang Island. Yes, first time going to holiday with a BIG group of people. Erm, not exactly very big, only 10 people. My family and my relatives (2 families). This holiday is also the second time I took the plane. And this time I didn't scare until cry, when the plane took off. So, bro, stop teasing me
It was very fun and also funny, in Penang. We stayed in Sunway Hotel. The hotel is ok. L0lx.
First day in Penang Island, we just walked around the area near our hotel. There are many road-side hawkers. But most of them 'open stall' at night. Is just like Night Market. We went to the Tower (Komar). That tower is 60 storeys high! We went up there and view the scenery. Wah, it was so beautiful. Can see almost half of the PEnang Island. Haha, I felt like a giant. Everything was so small. Bro, Yongyuan and me were so lame that we count how many cars of a colour, we can find. I was unluckily. DIGITAL CAMERA WENT FAULTY AT THIS TIME!! I can't took any pictures at all! Pa, you see la, if you allow me to bring my handphone then ok lor. Can take pictures. Haha, I keep disturbing my father about this. But joking la. Haiz, so no choice, got to used Cheryl's camera. Ya, Cheryl is my counsin. Same age as me.
Then at night, we went to Gurney Drive. The place was near sea or river? I don't know. Whatever it is, there are water! *what??* That place was cool! There are many hawkers. The hawkers were like charts, erm, those moblie stalls (did I use the correct word?). Some of the stalls were in vans. (That means, the van is the stall). Remember last time in Orchard (izzit Orchard?), there are moblie hawkers? Is something like that.
So many kind of food! Got Penang LAska, Lok Lok, etc etc. Yum Yum. I try the Laska there. Erm, it was not very spicy. It was abit sweet, and sour. The soup was totally different from our local Laska. VERY VERY VERY DIFFERENT. 100% DIFFERENT.
After that, we put some kind of fireworks (mini). So fun! S'pore can't play this kind of stuff. It was abit scary la. Because of the force. But fun. And of course, need to pay for buying the firework. L0lx. Anyway, it's cheap. RM 2, that's mean S$1. Cheap eh?
Second day. We booked a van to bring us around. Second day was a fun one. We went to Penang Hill! Yes, I finally took the funicular train. those kind of train that look like stairs inside. The hill was high. WE went up there. It was cooling. Haha. There was many haze around when we went there. And raining for a while. But soon it stopped and the haze is gone. And there, the beautiful view from the hill. Wah! My counsin definately enjoys taking photos at there. Haha.
Then we went to some shops, buy some tibits . After lunch, we had along journey to the Butterfly farm. From the place we had lunch to the Butterfly farm, it was just like fron an end to the other end. And somewhere it was located in hill. the road there keep turning and turning and end up my mother cannot tarhan and she vomitted half-way. I was abit giddy too. When reach the Butterfly farm, only me, my bro, and my two cousin (yongyuan and Cheryl) went in. All the adults stayed outside. Hey, need to paid money sia. Haha. Ir was a butterfly farm, but I felt that we were in Butterfly Haunted Farm. Ya la! Others were watching the butteflies. taking photos. Were in a calm situation. Except the four of us, screaming all the way. The butterflies just fly anywhere they like. My youngest counsin, Yongyuan! keep screaming. I just quickly wore my windbreaker. I feel more safer to wear it. Haha. I was like a leader. Gosh! WE were like play Eagle catching chick (the game. I translated from Chinese). The eagles were the butterflies. I'm the mother hen and the other three were chicks. Yes! I was in front, Cheryl behind me, Yongyuan behind Cheryl, and my bro behind Yongyuan. We formed a line and screamed like dunno what, when there were butteflies at the sides, on the floor or just flew past. Actually, it is not scary. It just that, Yongyuan's scream made us scare! Ya. He can suddenly SCREAM and then scare us, because we thought there were something. I actually thought thaT Yongyuan got scare until he pee. Because there were water on his legs. And somemore dirty one. But actually, he fell on the ground and the ground is wet mar. But know what, no one, NONE OF US actually saw him fell. Amazing eh, we were too busy screaming that we didn't notice at all. Haha.
To end the screaming, we better went to the gallery of insects, bugs. Ya, it was much more better! NO MORE SCREAMS! Just SHOCK and AMAZEMENT. Wah. Haha. Many insects that we never saw before were in glass cuboids. The four of us were watching a particular insect, I think is lizard. Coz, it seems that it was trying to eat up the small insects inside. But in the end, never.
Then, we went to a shop that sell many many chocolate! oh my! my favourite. Then shop assisant keeps giving us samples of chocolates and I keep eating. Lolx. But of course, we do buy a few boxes of chocolates. There are durian chocolate, pineapple, mango, coffee and chocolates that are sugar free. Sugar were being replaced with sweeteners. Haha (F&N, bleh)
Third day. Our last day in Penang. Need to check out of the hotel at 12pm. Gosh! Our flight is at night. We got no choice, but to leave the bag, luggages in the hotel.After that, we went to 'explore'. We walked to Penang Port and took a ferry to Butterworth (@ main island of malaysia). The ferry is those that can 'carry' passengers and vehicles. Ya, first time taking such ferry. I got a bit headache, but ok la. Maybe too excited. Haha. We just took the ferry to and fro. On the ferry trip, we spotted a lady who wear until so indecent. Sheesh. Cheryl and me saw her. And our faces were like so disgusted by her clothing. She just wear a tube bra and those kind of hot pant (damn short) and a demin jacket. It was like as if she did not wear anything except her undergarments. OH my. Somemore she is fat. I know I'm mean, but it was really disgusting. Worst, she even ask me to take photo for her. *vomit* When we went back to the hotel, me, Cheryl, my mum and my two aunts were talking about this lady. They too, feel disgusted about what she wear.
around 7pm ++, there is a bus that bring us to the airport. Our flight is around 10.15pm. MEanwhile, we shopped in the airport. Bought one t-shirt for myself. And then you know la, went into the flight, bla..bla..bla..BORING. haiz.
That's all, my trip to Penang ISland
