penang mari?


me back from PENANG!!

it was worth skipping my friday and sat classes =P

was the break i needed desperately... and now i'm all revived and geared for my assings! which is another sad story. boo.




upon arrival..























the first night of Penang was spent blowing bubbles at Gurney..
















































































Alvin's enchanted moment..
(MUST WATCH, u dun know what u're missing!)







could actually hear the stall owner saying " these kl ppl...... " in hokkien and passerbys laughing at us.. or maybe just Alvin. hahaa.

oh well..its a retreat afterall.. ;)


2nd day was Water Sports day!

it took the water sports promoters a long time to persuade us to buy their activity packages. reason was it was EXPENSIVE! RM 80 each for parasailing and jet skiing. RM30 for banana boat. A package of RM100 will give u parasailing with b.boat/ jet skiing with b.boat. or if you won't mind paying RM150.. u can all 3.

most of us got the RM100 pack.. that left us eating gardenia bread and milo for the following day's breakfast. as they say.. a price to pay for everything.

but it was all worth the money.. =)



parasailing!










































































both alvin and wei-i were adventurous and went solo while me and wp shared this experience together.... so cute the parashoots! smiley faces for the solo ones.. and rainbow colored for me and wp's =)





jet skiing and banana boating were the highlights!! screamed alot.. ALOT!



the banana group.




















we were flung left right .. and top speed.



and the survivors were :





















they flip the boat on purpose to make us fall.. but we were the last 3 "sitting".. after 3 flips. muahahahahaaaaa.




snapshots by the sea and under the sun's always has this special effect added to them =)





































































how can one go to the beach without taking everyone's favourtie jumping shots?












































james made us jump a few times to capture the perfect shot..





so we thought .....






Sun basking....























some even had free extra services..































The car filled with internal jokes. ahem. "home"























That night itself.. we met up with 3 of Chin Yee's friends from ibridge.






















Chin yee starting asking them to guess who were the twins among us...

one said.. wy-pun and wei-i...

the other said .. me and wei-i

the last one said .. wei-i and james


"......................................"

this is wei-i and james..















how can i lose to him?????


i dun feel special anymore.

whatmore they guessed i was 24 -28.......... saying wy-pun was younger than me too.



Of cause one can't escape penang without "Jiak"-ing













































People also look happier when food is concerned =)


















































































( a lil too happy )





Last day we visited Chin Nee's church















and we took more pics =)










































it was the first ever church I went to with many international people.. and they served cream puffs after service =)



Random shot. me and chin nee! =)





























our trip ended in a blink.
We bid farewell to Chin nee.. after lunch..and headed back to realityyyyyyy.. sob.



There were a few things i gathered from this trip


  • Penang is congested all the time.
  • O jien and char siew pau are the best food around!
  • Chee Cheong Fun is only RM1.60!!
  • People here greet you even if they are random strangers
  • unlike the ones we have here, Nightmarkets in P do not sell food
  • Peaceful. =)
  • I grew 7 years older in penang.



I won't mind retiring in Penang now. haha.
