Anyway, what the heck, just chill in the island for a while first la. Furthermore, accommodation is 101% free..haha.. When we reached penang, The island was deserted of tourist. Its understandable as holidays are over. We only saw a good number of singaporeans as they just started their semester break. So don't even think about pretty girls clad in swimsuit, We will never find one..haha..
Our first destination was Muka Beach. Lol, some of us got tricked thinking it was a chill-out bar like The Beach in Jalan Sultan Ismail... Here are a few reasons coming from one source. Teik tzuan made it sound like this. "Hey, wanna go to Mocha Beach? Hoy Keat said we can chill out at the beach and kick some sands".. Ok, the keyword was Mocha and Chill-Out, must be a happening place la. Everyone wore their best beach wear ( bright coloured clothings with flip-flops), except for Evon who wore office wear ( G2000 Shirt and Skirt)(Looks like she is going to sue some hunks by the beach for public display of affection, PDA..haha.. )When we reach there, we saw nothing but a USM fishery office and a deep forest. Aik, something wasn't right, and I asked Hoy Keat, where is the Mocha Place? Itz a beach la, 1 and a half hours hike from here.
Wait.... Hike?, I tot chill?.. Teik is so going to pay for this as he interpreted the message wrongly. When I heard the word Hike, I know my body is ever ready for it thanks to my weekly hiking in Kledang but my gear isn't! I'm wearing flip flops for god sake and you want me to trail the forest?! But anyway, we did it either. Its funny to see a bunch of rowdy fellas trek the jungle with sandals. Some of us wore as if they are going to Queensbay Mall, while the guys looks like we are going to pasar malam... alamak...
The starting of the trail, You think its that built up along the trek, you are totally wrong!
Yeap, this is the first 5 minutes of the trail. Wait till it ends, 1 hour 30 mintes later..hahaFirst, we have planks on our path, then rocks and finally, boulders, fallen trees and mud. Some of us clearly aren't ready for it. Kho Kaa nearly fainted and some people nearly fell because there aren't enough traction in our sandals. Its indeed a challenging hike. Our guide, Hoy Keat's mat salleh friend, Mark went off so fast, we ended up trailing the forest ourself. There are some obstacle which seems so unpassable made us think that we are lost. Anyway, there are no turning back as we are so deep in and we are losing daylight. Our only hope is Cheon Yuen's basic instinct and some loose trails along the way... when we thought we were lost, we saw a path ahead of us
YATAA!!!! we finally made it. We just followed the wooden stairs and we finally reach Muka Head, Our rendezvous for the day. When we reach there, everyone was so exhausted, we just tried to find the boat and hop into it. The boat ride to mainland just took us 15 Minutes..Dengz... 12 km walk and probably 2 km boat ride back... not proportional la wei. Anyway, we were glad that we were alive at the end of the day and yea, there wasn't any mocha or even kopi for us at the beach. Teik were held responsible for it, poor fella.
After that, the usual la, we went to gurney to have dinner and came back. Kee Cheong decided to watch Exorcism of Emily Rose on tv. Cheon Yuen was scared but held everyone hostage to watch with him. It isn't a horror movie la to start with, just a bit gory, thatz all. Some of use even fell asleep, how nice.
Next day, we went to Air Itam for some sight seeing and food. When we are in kek lok si, we used a 45 degree lift to get on the other side of the hill. Apparently, its the first of its kind but it looks kinda familiar to me..haha
we used 4 bucks to go up and see a Kuan Yin statue under contruction, how nice... lol... we decided to take some cranky photos which most of it turns out hilarious, just like this one below.
The Furious Five ( Cheon"BesiMan"Yuen, Teik"ChinaMan"Tzuan, Siew"Charlies Aunty"Wei, Kee"Gummy Bear Hulk"Cheong, and Wai "Jims Bong" Soon ) and the Serious Two (with Evon sweating away and Xuan just being herself, *blur*)The next day was just pure relaxing on the beach and amazing race to the bus station. We manage to make it on time to the bus station with 2 minutes to spare. Like a typical Penang Trip, we ate a lot and ate non-stop. And for the first time, we made full use of Rapid Penang. Its kinda reliable but it ain't as rapid as it sounds. Probably we need something called Furious Penang or Rempit Penang, then we will have buses speeding all the way.. hahaha.
Thatz all for now. I will remember this trip as one of my last trips together with my school mate because after this, I really don't know when we will be able to meet up like this ever again. Semester breaks will differ in some Uni and some of us may be far separated from each other.
Okayz, i got to work now, Its my final 3 days in Citrus. So its back to Kan Cheong Kitchen..haha..
bye people...
