Penang / Kedah Trip Part I



Hi. I'm back. Did you miss me? No? Fine, whateverlah.

Anyways, so much has happened over the last, err.... how long has it been. Never mind. As you probably guessed by the title, I went to Pulau Pinang and Kedah. Usually I wouldn't remember a thing about what happened as soon as I get home, but this time, I kept a journal (really just odd pieces of paper I stole from my elder brother's printer). Smart, right? (I was really just bored)

Soooo.... where to start. OK, Friday 16th July, a day after school ended. We left KL at 11:30, stopped, eat breakfast. Bleh. When we reached Seberang we ate this crab mee thing. Reach Penang 16:05. Reach hotel 4:25. At 5:30 go to step brother's house (technically its not his house, its my step father's house, but you get it). Btw. my elder brother is a Form 2 temp teacher at St. Xavier's, says the students are naughty and stubborn (remind you of anybody?). After that went to Seafood Village, its just pass End of the World (ironic, isn't it?) with elder sister. Went back, slept over at elder brother's house... bleh.
There was no detail cuz I wasn't bored yet and so I didn't write in my journal, mostly from memory.

Saturday, 17th July

Woke up (duh). Went hiking to Pantai Kerachut. It took 1 hr to go, say jellyfish at sea, saw turtles at a place etc. 50 mins to go back. Wanted to have ice-kachang at famous place but nooooo.... they didn't have that day. Bought a drink cuz the bottle looked nice but later found out that couldn't take the bottle....bleh. . Stayed over elder brother's house to use internet, but couldn't that night cause everyone else hogging it... bleh.
No detail today either, not that bored yet.

Sunday, 18th July

Wake up, showered, then use internet (finally!). Chat with friends (friend, rather). Go eat nasi kandar. Then go batik factory. Why? Because my dad wanted to cover the electric control area thing. Go Balik Pulau, on the way saw durian trees, mak took pictures, wanted to go to Pasar Balik Pulau, but it was abandoned. Went to grandfather's house (my mother's side) for awhile, there was a cat etc etc. Then went to have ice kachang, nice. Send elder sister to Gurney Drive. Go hotel, stay for awhile, watched Death Note (more on that later), then went to Gurney Drive (my sis was gone by then). Makan laksa. I bought a rubber band gun fro 10 ringgit (I wanted to shoot the angsa when in Kedah, but later my mother said that there was no angsa there). Went to Popular and MPH, come back, sleep bleh.
Still not bored.


Monday, 19th July

Woke up, went to Kampung Melayu, but I was fasting and didn't eat. Set of to Pak Long and Mak Long house. We reached within 45 mins and we said hi etc etc. After awhile I feel asleep on the sofa. When I woke up I saw my sister and my brother (both younger) playing with my nephew, Haikal (yes, technically he is my nephew, he lives with his grandfather, Pak Long, who is my my mother's brother, and therefore my uncle, and since Haikal is his grandson, then I'm his uncle - confused? good) Another nephew of mine, who is a month older than me, is called Syafiq, who was at school (he's the evening shift). Later my mother came back from the cemetary (paying her respects to her mother and grandparents). She left after that. She took my younger brother with her, but left my younger sister (she wanted to stay). Went mengaji (reading the Qur'an), but just for a short while. Woke a songkok thing for the first time, it made my hair become the exact shape of the songkok. Oh yeah, you should know about my cats, well they were my cats in Singapore, when we moved back to Malaysia we had to give them away. One's about two years old, male, called Akil. Other, two and a half years, female, Iris. Akil is the hot blooded fool, and Iris is the cool girl. Akil always bullies Iris, just so you know. Went to take a bath. Bathing here is basically taking a pail of water and pouring it over your head. Ate at 19:40, ate nasi and ayam and sardines and bleh. Bleh Bleh Bleh. I went to the living room, no shirt, of course, like every other male in Kedah. Its just too humid. Akil and Iris were waiting by the door, hoping to go out. Bleh Bleh Bleh
Okay, that was quite a lot, and now I'm tired, so I'll just put some pictures I took when I was bored. Bleh. See you tomorrow, or this evening or whatever. Oh hang on, I can't seem to do it. Oh well. Later maybe.

Bye! Selamat Tinggal! !وداعا‎ 再见! Adios! Au revoir! Tschüß! さようなら! 안녕히 계십시오! Sbohem!
