penang trip-day 2 and day 3

continuation from part one. click here to read

day 2 itinerary:
breakfast at an Indian restaurant that only serves western/Malaysian breakfast. so bill didn't get her Indian food :(

beach time! spent hours on the beach. playing games like dodge ball which i was the only one left cos everyone in my team was out! and the opposing team was attacking poor me. so i surrendered! cos I'm no good in catching the ball to save my team members.
and lots of photos as usual.
and lots of sun too!
sat the banana boat for the very first time. never did get to try cos didn't go in a big group. it was fun and a little scary. i was screaming and screaming and screaming. i think i made jane and mui how temporarily deft. lol.
some did para sailing and the rest were giving scores for their landing. cheh wah~ like expert like that. and the winner was ellice and yy!!

then a very late lunch at lorong selamat. char kway teow with HUGE prawns (for the price we paid, we deserve large prawns) and ais kacang with peanut ice cream. YUMMY and another cendol stop in some lorong near komtar.

evening and night: prepare for bbq dinner. and then BBQ!!
it all started when i was sitting on the rocks with jane when fi said she wanted to go to wash her hands (or smtg like that) so jane and i wanted to teman her but she said nevermind...swarna went with her

then a couple minutes later...they brought out two cakes with candles lighted up looking pretty, yummy and all. and started singing happy birthday. since it was 2+ weeks away from my birthday, i was abit stunned and puzzled... i was wondering "who are they singing to???"

and then after the "happy birthday to ching mei and dejun"...
i was like......OOOOOOHHHHHHHHH. thats so sweet right??
and Kajen, i heard it was your idea! so thank you so much. my very first birthday surprise :)
the rest...a big thank you as well, its great being able to celebrate with you guys :)

so thats day 2 in a nutshell.
now photos to the rest of the talking ;)

*and because i'm too lazy to arrange in chronological order, the photos with be of very random order, but of course i'll put the captions*

char kway teow at lorong selamat. apparently we ate at the "fake" store. cos the real popular one is this lady wearing huge goggles. but then the shop we ate, a man wearing huge goggles was cooking. anyway..the real store just ran out of food. plus this was quite good also :) what is penang without good char kway teow??
the cendol. nice but too sweet.
this is the ice kacang at lorong selamat. my favourite part? the peanut ice cream toppping!

and these is our breakfast
1. plain yogurt with fruits. yummy and healthy combination :)

2. omelet with mushroom filling and hash brown

3. char kway teow (again) which was soooo salty

4. toast bread with scrambled eggs

5. mamme mee (my food) which was good at first but the more you eat the saltier it gets.



a very random photo of me and a smiley pillow in yy's car. hehe

two very surprised people. de jun and I ..with our birthday cake.

day 3 itinerary..
it started raining cats and dogs in the early morning. the wind was so strong we could hear the weird whining/howling sound which was kinda scary....
checked out and said bye bye to the other group who were going to thailand.
made a last stop in penang at the biscuit shop.
then we headed to mainland to have a seafood lunch..
then back to IMU.
we (kajen, jane, james, swarna and i) played weird games in the car to pass time. name
1.animals
2.countries
3.medical terms
from A-Z. quite fun and very funny!!!
there was even a BM version.
reached IMU at about 6 plus and waited for my mummy. at that time i was already feeling so miserable and tired, horribly congested nose, dizziness, muscle ache, feverish..sigh...so much so i volunteered to go see the doctor for some medication.
and after a nice 10 hour sleep i felt so much better :)
it was a really great and much needed trip. thanks guys for everything :)
