(BFF) kok, (bowl) jeremy, (da ge) raymond, ck and me.
the combination of the 5 of us is just incredible.
totally hilarious, fun and crazy!
the times we had there were damn fun!
i think the total amount of laughing we had would have given us 6-packs each.
Wake Up Call, The Potential Breakup Song and Apologize were like the songs of the trip.
haha, irritated everyone everyday every min every second by singing Wake Up Call.
pls la, the song is nice, and after a while u had to admit u guys felt uneasy without hearing the song. haha.
sing-along sessions I with raymond and kok; The Potential Breakup Song, haha.
damn surprised da ge knew that song, and kok just couldnt grasp the tune of "..this is the Potential Breakup Song..." correctly the whole time. haha.
sing-along sesssion II with jeremy; Apologize.
practically jus screeching away in high-pitched voices to reach "i said its too late to Apologize, its tooooo lateeeeeeeeee...."
left Singapore around 10pm and the whole time, raymond and i couldnt sleep. it was that bad.
ended up both of us nearly died in Penang on the first day.
the bus driver's assistant was snoring away like damn loudly, the kid behind us was playing his dad's hp. thanks a lot to them, we cant sleep; merry xmas, bastards. haha.
so finally... we reached Penang around 6am in the morning and arrived at Sungei Nibong (south of Penang). took some pictures and realise we were actually at the wrong bus-stop for almost an hour. phew, found the right one and the bus was damn lok kok. fucking lousy la. argh.
once we arrived in town around 8am; Georgestown, why not Johnstown or Peterstown, ok nevermind and stop rolling ur eyes!
we were at now Komtar Bus Interchange.
Komtar's the supposedly tallest building in Penang.
the shops werent open yet and we were planning to check into the hotel first,
so we started navigating. hahaha.
the first time we got to the hotel, everyone felt that it was damn far.
but after walking like a 3000km everyday(like seriously 3000km), it just seems to get nearer and nearer.
so we found our hotel; Cititel, after detours here and there. haha!
it was like a mini Amazing Race, with kok narrating about Pitstops, detour and elimination rounds.haha.
"...you are the first team to arrive in Georgestown, the first pit stop of Penang..."
"...although you are the last team to arrive, u are safe, as this is the non-elimination leg of the race..."
lol, i think we laughed like crazy and the 6 packs were on the way to attainment.
haha, there's this particular xmas tree at the lobby of the hotel that i kept on insisting jeremy to take picture with. haha, no matter how many times we walked past, like a gazillion times, i will still irritate him by asking him to take picture with the xmas tree.
"... eh, take picture take picture.." "..take picture leh..."
haha, this reminds me, the freaking bell boy in Cititel, actually all the bell boys cant take photos. every picture also blur. so simple also cannot take. haha. but finally one good one, but without kok! haha.
next, we headed to the coffeeshop, like really old school coffeeshops to have our first meal. woo.the food was damn bloody good and cheap. damn, a plate of ten-ton mee, ok fine, one-ton mee (wanton mee) is like only s$1.50. so was the prawn mee. porridge was like s$1.25? and i realised the hokkien mee they sell (in m`sia) is actually prawn noodles soup. not the fried one. lol.
after eating, headed to Komtar and realised that u can actually visit the top of the tower.but sadly, they charged for a trip up and it damn exp! cheat tourist money $$. not like the air up there is fresher, maybe it is. haha. -.-"
walked around, went shopping and took some photos.
my god, its damn dirty la. ok fine, i shouldnt complain. but gosh, its damn bad. fucking mosquitoes breeding everywhere. rubbish all over the place. cars dont stop at all even at traffic lights, so we had to cross roads penang-style; JUST DASH. ya and just dont prepare the others that are not ready to cross.
and yes, we even did flag raising. whatever, too much airforce blood in us.yea, after shopping and walking around, we headed back to the hotel room to sleep.
gosh, at night, i think we really walked 3,000,000 km.wtf, we were looking for a seafood restaurant introduced by kok's relative. (haha, shan't say the name out!) :)
damn sorry la, couldnt eat seafood cos of minor allergy so ended up didnt order much seafood.
seriously thanks alot bros, for catering to me. haha.
"....da ge, er ge, san ge, bff chi fan!..."
after eating, continued walking, my god nvr ending. played music, sang and sang, got lost and finally found the shopping centre we were looking for. like finally.but dono why, the walk wasnt that tiring and didnt even perspire. so after that went to eat again and took a cab back.
DAY I has ended.
ps. oh ya, our room number came out consolation prize on Sun 301207. told kok to buy but didnt, in the end it did come out.
