Its an endless pursuit.: August 2010

And here’s part 2 of our Penang Trip =D This is your basic scene in the morning during a bad hangover. There’s food and random stuff lying all over the place and everyone’s half-stoned.

I think Penangites purposely made so many different food courts that are open from dawn till dusk to accommodate the locals who can hold their drink and for the many tourists and visitors who can’t.Pai Tee, Popiah, and drinks (non-alcoholic) are the perfect cure for a hangover. Temporarily at least.

See what I mean O.O

Was stoned for the later part of the day. But luckily we had Gwen & Co., who took it upon themselves and organized the entire trip. And as it turned out, we were going to some Peranakan musuem, you know, the one where they’re filming some Baba Nyona drama….I forget :P

And if you’re as stoned as I was then, just enjoy the photos =D

Stoned even more when I saw this – the tour guide was explaining how this camera from back then was capable of taking better quality photos as compared to modern DSLRs. It just took 100x the effort. I stoned even more when I saw a dad walking around the place with a EOS 7D and an L lens.

I hid away my 350D on my side.

Damage caused by some of the earlier visitors long ago. The bastards.

Looking back now, this bracelet sorta reminds me of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice’s ring.

Don’t bother asking what the brown stuff is. CHEN IF YOU ARE READING THIS, TRY TO SEE WHAT DOES NOT BELONG IN THIS PICTURE. ITS HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT .l.

After we done there with the tour, we headed over to Kek Lok Si temple. Our driver was nice enough to drop us off at the very top, as compared to us taking the stairs all the way to the top. You horny old goat.

We took diagonal lift down, but we still had to walk 3/4 of the way down

By the time we finally hit ground floor, we were dead hungry. And guess what. We were in Air Itam. That meant only one thing. Two words.

ASSAM LAKSA BITCHES!

Okay that was 3 words but bah. So sue me. The place was packed but we still managed to find seats and enjoy some of the best Assam Laksa I’ve ever eaten. Normally I don’t like Assam Laksa because I’m not that big a fan of fish. But this one took the cake. If only we had that in the morning. Hangover gone. Kao Tim.

Broskie finished his bowl clean. So did I.

Later, we did what everyone and anyone who came from south of Penang would do. BUY TAU SAR PHEAH.

We were pretty much relaxing and have our own leisure time the rest of the day, what with swimming in the pool (sorry no pics of that) stoning in front of the tv, etc etc. But that night we dressed up a little cos we thought on that last night in Penang, we’d at least go to where the first “The Ship” outlet was opened. And take note, its actually a ship! Not a working if you ask me. And I mean that in every sense.

Yea this is the best picture I have of our experience BEFORE entering the Ship for dinner.

Everything else – was shit.

So like, I’m never going back to The Ship. Ever. Again. It doesn’t matter where the outlet is, I’m never going to another outlet. The food sucked cock, so did the service, basically the whole experience was balls la.

But we made up for that disappointment with a visit to a hotel only minutes away from the apartment we were staying at.
