hello all, i m back, yup after the many days of travelling. must say the pass few days has been awesome....hope life will be always as fun as it seems.

anyways, about 17 of us, drove up to penang on tuesday. met up in front of uni, completely was oblivious that it was a normal skool day for the rest of the uni,there we were 3 cars parked at the entrance, arranging the bonnet making noise taking pictures...don't blame us, but that the best meet up point.

adrian drove alisha, christene n dejun... david drove yy's car with her n eley n swarna drove ching mei, jane n me. missin 6? yup, we were gonna meet up with kevin, caryn, aaron, fiona, mui n james whom were spending the few days before this trip at kedah. journey was long and tiring but ultimately fun. as u may already know, i never let anyone sleep in our car.....kept cracking jokes and playing games.

we stopped at bidor to try the infamous herbal duck. hmmmm i stuck to my fav and ordered curry mee. and we kept changing food every 5 minutes like ospe..so typical of us imu students. everyone agreed my meal was the best..yay me.

after lunch, we left straight to penang. wanted to take pics of the bridge, but it was not so picture perfect, as they were doin some maintenance job. drove up the curvy windy roads to batu ferringhi and then finallyfound our apartments we were gonna stay for 4 days; sri sayang apartments which was really cheap la.

that night we spent time at the hawkers centre at gurney drive. ate like cows....again i went for curry mee, but tried their char koay teow and pasembor, n bubur cha cha and clams. all so nice.

@ gurney drive

ren and kev....

afte eating like some gluttens, we went to gurney plaza, mainly to cold storage for a mission

we were divided to 3 groups and each group was given a budget a list of items that we must purchase. all the items purchased was going to be used for our bbq the next night.

i went with james n ching mei, thank god they are the best cooks in the group. within minutes we had got all the items we needed. along the way we were given many road blocks and many of the other teams tried to sabotaje us by trying to ask questions. but nothing could stop this trio, we won the race n all was within budget. we even finished so far ahead, we help another team by locating thier items....so the drama i tell u.

ok that night we played all the card games u can think off. but the most interesting of all was murder games. it was so tense and dramatic. adrian of course was the best la. he kept analyzing the game like soem csi....everyone was always pointing to david and me as the murderers. and jane n alisha never got a chance to finish a game coz they were always the first 2 to die. it was really fun. then we also played a few rounds of chee cheong fun ( the game i created) ....still cant forget swarna's bcbgmaxmara....caryn n yy pennsylvania n philadeplhia or is it the other way around.

on day 2
as usual i woke up at odd hours, n decided to check out the beach. was so pretty, i took a walk along the beach and wen i got back most was still asleep. so i decided to pull out my weapon the whistle. the targets were jane n christene. sorry gals. ching mei n james were my accomplice, went in with the camera, n then out of nowehere blew the whistle...they screamed like crazy n started shouting at us. n but ultimaely plan worked they were up. we ate breakfast at an indian restaurant that served western breakfast.

Day 3.

wokeup a bit later, did all the packing and we decided to check out early as we wanted to go find the famous biscuits at georgetown. unfortunately it was raining cats and dogs, but we still managed to find the shop and i was introduced to the tau sa pia..heheh for sure i spelt it wrong. these cookies were really tasty...so i bought loads for home. after leaving penang island we headed to tambun to try their seafood. it was quite ok, loved the prawns.

after that the next stop was at tapah for rest. btw the journey back quite similar no one was asleep this time it was james n i whom were the entertainers. played like so many games.

we reached so late in the evening bout 6 ish. all was tired and the best part was this was not the end of our travelling for most of us....

in short penang was awesome and what made it more awesome was being with my closest buddies.....
