back from penang part 3

Day 3
the last day of our stay in Penang le... after this, will be reporting to work in GSK and yan back to work too...sigh...sianz.... but it's a good thing we chose to go back on a sat so tat we still haf a sunday to rest and buffer... bus rite home at 10pm.

hmm....oh yah we went Batu Ferringhi, highlight of the day. it is one of the popular place to visit especially by the westerners... it's nothin much realli...mayb coz im not much of a beach person.. the beach is quite a popular place for it watersports...like jet-skiing, parasailing, banana boats...there's even horse-riding available! but we juz settled for a slow walk by the sea...with feet dipped inside the unexpectantly cooling water...hehee... at 1st we expected the beach to be populated by angmohs.... but there're more malays there! so happen that there's this family event i think... hmm....how i wish i can juz spend money without so much restraint...sigh....i haven tried parasail b4!!

actually b4 we even stepped into the sandy beach, we went for lunch 1st...weird eh? since we juz had breakfast (lor mee and roti canai with super sweet teh and coffee) like an hour ago...haha...think we realli over-eating le...actully was already feeling slightly uncomfortable in the stomach since the previous nite le....it's worse for yan.. even need to take medicine... anyway....lunch was lorbah ("lor" as in those black black mucus-like gravy, and "bah" as in meat).. it's actually like ngorhiang of singapore, but the ngorhiang has chunkier meat pieces and also using "lor" as dip... tat wasn't enough for yan' insatiable taste buds (oops!! hehe..).. we ordered another serving of bah kuteh... it's nice! not excellent...but it's good....
on our way back to Georgetown, the bus passed by this "toy museum"..and i saw a human-size Ninje Turtle! haha... soneday when i go penang again night wanna drop-by and take a look..? but i haf my doubts with malaysian's tourist attractions... (oops again!!)

on our way back... we stopped for a short break by the famous penang chendul and penang laksa! but we cant sit inside the laksa shop... uncle says we need to pay table charges if we bring the chendul in..*shrugz* but like the girl who did my haircut in Komtar said "sit by the stall and eat also got its own taste mah.." and the penang laksa is waaaaay better than the one we had near Kek Lok Si.....

we were actually held in a situation there...coz the check out time was 6pm (halfday's charge) and the bus will leave at 10pm... so in that 4 hours r we going to juz walk ard with our luggages? not very safe i think... so, we asked again lor! guesthouse uncle suggested us to go find the georgetown branch of the bus company coz usually they provide shuttle to NiBong terminal where we would board our bus.. and we decided that we can leave our luggages with them while we go for dinner....smart eh...?

last stop: Newland Food Centre. this place is famous for it's roadside stalls, with lotsa variety as usual... char kuay teow... chendul... beef noodle.. satay...aiyah u get it... actually we've been here last nite, without knowing that this is the infamous Newland Food Centre... anyway today we came for chee cheong fun and char kuay teow... both were good.... but we din stop there...haha!! had the local version of popiah and kuay teow soup... kaoz...now come to think of it...our stomach r bottomless.... OMG...
and u think it's the end....? u r wrong....we got ourselves a colonel hotdog from A&W! haha....who can resist that....and the curly fries..and the root beer.... awww..... we got to meet this old indonesian couple who's going to be on the same bus back to Singapore with us... we acutally met them on this van (holding 9 ppl including driver and all luggages). they were actually going back to indonesia via plane ride from singapore....strange thou that they din fly direct...much more convenient.. they were worrying coz they "bought" their bus tickets from the hotel room, so it's not the actualy ticket...they still need to go to the counter to get confirm them and get the seat & berth no... anyway it was all settled..

the bus was a good one... Gunung Raya...surprisingly we got it for only RM$50... it can bring us back in Singapore but we chose to stop at larkin instead...it's much more convenient for us, plus we can haf breakfast there.. the wanton mee there is gd. I've nv ever in my life sleep thru a long-distance bus journey in malaysia b4....this is 1st...the ride was so smooth and quiet....*shhh*

urgh i had hard time typing this thing...watching tv and bro/mum/aunt talking in the background in chinese.... hard time trying to switch language mode up there... anyway...it's done =)
