Penang Trip Day 2 *overdue post*

It's been a pleasant night. Had a very good night sleep, surrounded by the sound of waves and insects, as serene as a mother's lullaby, granting all of us a very 'conducive' atmosphere into slumbers.

Well... except the fact that the blanket piece of cloth we covered ourselves in which is so thin that even a bimbo's makeup is thicker than it, did anything but keep us warm. And the guys just had to turn on the air-con with full blast. (Yeah la I know we don't have to pay for the electricity but please have mercy to this fragile frame of mine the environment.)

Oh well... I can tolerate with shivering myself to sleep. No big deal. I'm just too tired already, even shivering takes alot of effort. All I want is as much sleep as possible.

And so I continued indulging myself in dreamland, until...

Blardy hell... =.=

They just had to wake us up in the most unconventional method. As for where they had so much energy from, I have no idea. =.=

The castle CC and Hannah built when we were still VERY MUCH asleep (Not for long =.=)

Bugs stacking on top of each other

Sleepy and tulan =.=

They even had the mood and energy to search for burrowed crabs in the sands =.=

We got ourselves 5 free sets of breakfast so all of us except Ken and HH went for breakfast at the cafeteria. The two of them had their breakfast somewhere else. It was just two slices of toast and an egg. If it wasn't for free we wouldn't eat there. :P

We prepared ourselves and went out for a tour around the town by bus. Well we had to buy some biscuits/cookies/whatever-you-call-it for our family/friends. But since it's still early, we decided to eat again and walk around before picking up the biscuits/cookies/whatever-you-call-it on our way back to the motel later cause it's troublesome to carry them around.

While waiting for the bus

We walked around under the blazing sun and in the end, we dropped by a mall that looks like Times Square but it's still under construction. From that mall, we walked to another mall. But it has nothing much to see so we walked to another mall which looked like Sungei Wang. So we did mall-hopping. =.='' Actually we were looking for a cybercafe to satisfy our 'hunger' for CS. :P But to no avail. Sigh...

A shoe twice the size of its counterparts... The chosen one...

From the second mall, wondering where's the third mall. =.=

HH the supermodel not :P

Walked until very tired so camped in a CD store while deciding where to go

After all that, HH the tour guide brought us to a restaurant famous for its food and cendol. And damnn the good good food was sooo good that I kept typing food as good. XD

Lame... OK got it.

That's the stall...

Just look at the crowd OMG...

We couldn't wait for the rest so we ordered first. :P

Upon entering the sardine-packed restaurant, we saw Poh Lian and her friends. Coincidentally, she was having a vacation with her friends as well. Small world it is.

Didn't get to take a decent photo of her. That's her in the white shirt.

This is already half of the restaurant but only a small group of people. You can imagine how packed it is. =.=

HH helped us ordered the food cause we can't speak Hokkien (Is it Hokkien?), and can only understand a little. =.=' We can speak Mandarin but we were told that they would know we're not Penangite and would charge us more. Blood suckers. =.=''

Haha she even served us the food XD

All we can do is wait and take photos :P

And they too take photos

Wait so long... Wait till sien =.=

And finally the food came. Still having a food orgasm from the cendol just now, I had another 1 when I took the first sip of my asam laksa. Never knew asam laksa could be this good! OMG I was in heaven...!!!

We showed no mercy to the food...!!!

Succumb to THE cendol...!!

Tak sabar-sabar nak makan XD

Look at the size of the prawn. So succulent... I'm drooling already

Lobak as well

Even after all these, I still haven't had enough and so I ordered another cendol. :P

Group photo

Then we walked to take our biscuits/cookies/whatever-you-call-it and decided to head back to motel. We waited at the wrong bus stop and I was blamed for that. =.= So anyway, while we walked to the right one, FINALLY our call has been answered and we found a cybercafe just in front of the bus stop. XD Spent an hour there and RM 2 there.

Waiting at the wrong bus stop and Hannah's in glee for unknown reason

We reached the motel and headed straight to the beach. This time they decided to take a swim. Well initially I didn't want to get into water cause it was cold and windy, in the end I joined them anyway cause it's bored sitting alone safeguarding their belongings. =.= Again, first time jumping into the sea after so many years, and tasted the salt water, it was quite an experience... XD

The guys acting weird

Obscene =.=

...and ended up having alot of sands in my pocket and all that. =.=

After taking showers, the initial plan was to go to Gurney Plaza. But HH wanted to attend her cousin's birthday party so we changed our plan and had dinner instead in her cousin's house. And we even planned to go to a pasar malam but we headed back to our motel for fear we might miss the last bus.

We were all tired already. Hannah and CC slept quite early while the rest of us went to the food court again for supper after enjoying the mesmerizing night view by the beach. The char kuey teow was really nice. Too bad I couldn't eat already or else I would've ordered another plate. :P

So that's it for Day 2. Everyone seemed to be worn out physically, but definitely we enjoyed this trip and asked for more. XD
