penang
came back from penang last night, shall make it short... didn't really enjoy the whole thing, but i did like certain things...
first day, we arrived and checked into our hotel before we headed to the back of the hotel for lunch. the food looked real good and my family and maternal relatives (all of them) were enjoying the food... though tempted, i didn't eat, don't ask why... then after that, we went back to the hotel to 'collect' the rest of our rooms... afterwhich, we went to penang hill... nothing very fantastic, and i hated it when my bro started making fun of things via a pun... (my bros love to vocally abuse me) then we went to this shopping centre were we had soul garden for dinner, food was good, ate a lot, then we walked ard to shop, was bored cos i don't like to shop with no objective in mind, and even if it's window shopping, i'd prefer it to be at the start of the day... and on top of that my bro loves to take advantage of my uncle to buy a lot of stuff for him, so there, he was the one who 'led' the way... after that, went back to the hotel for to sleep and my bro and cousin sharing the same room as me wanted to watch soccer... so tough to sleep... i really dunno what's to nice 'bout watching soccer...
second day, we went on the penang bridge, the 3rd longest bridge in the world, 8km long... then we went to the world's largest toy museum, got disgusted cos they had some.. errr.... not so nice stuff, but other than that, i loved the cute toys... i want to buy those soft toys!!! so cute... and then, we went to some fruit farm, and had durians, then went to the beach where i did parasailing... and that was one of the times i truely enjoyed myself... being all alone up in the sky for that 5 to 6 minutes? but yah, it was fun... if i have the money, i might try it again some day.. if you haven't, you gotta try it... oh yah, which travelling ard, our driver (working for the hotel) was singing, and he CAN sing well!!! quite pleasant chinese and hokien songs... oh oh... we had lunch before going to the fruit farm, before the toy musseum, before parasailing... lunch was nice, i mean... penang's food is real good... ohoh... and the wanton mee stall wrote that they sold 'one ton mee'.. haha... then back to where i was... after parasailing, we went somwhere for dinner... i forgot where, i just rmb swimming in cold water, visiting the suana... or however you spell it... before going for dinner...
third day, cos my cousin was sick, my uncle's family extended one day, i bowled and played pool and i forgot what else we did... for dinner, it was at a sea food restaurant, and near the end of dinner, i had my favorite dish, black pepper crab... and after eating crabs all these years, i had an allegic reation that night, my lips had 2 swollen sores and it hurt... was really shocked cos i've been eating crabs for about a decade already... first time i have a reaction, but i don't care, i'm gonna continue eating crabs... then went back to hotel
last day, we bowled and bowled and bowled more before coming back to singapore... or at least, i only rmb bowling
seems like the only part of the holiday i enjoyed was the parasailing and the the food... oh oh, and their chendol is super good, it's pure chendol, just the green chendol jelly, ice, milk and the brown sugar water... it was super good... so yah, other than that, the holiday was pretty 'forced' to be enjoyed...
