Its just a phase, I guess.

And here’s part 2 of our Penang Trip =DIMG_7419 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.

IMG_7421I 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.IMG_7422IMG_7425IMG_7427IMG_7429Pai Tee, Popiah, and drinks (non-alcoholic) are the perfect cure for a hangover. Temporarily at least.

IMG_7435See 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

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.

IMG_7530IMG_7531IMG_7533 Damage caused by some of the earlier visitors long ago. The bastards.

IMG_7540IMG_7543 Looking back now, this bracelet sorta reminds me of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice’s ring.

IMG_7554IMG_7552 IMG_7564 IMG_7563 IMG_7571IMG_7570Don’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. IMG_7619 IMG_7620 IMG_7621IMG_7623IMG_7629You horny old goat.

IMG_7660IMG_7670We 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.

IMG_7689ASSAM LAKSA BITCHES!

Okay that was 3 words but bah. So sue me. IMG_7685The 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.

IMG_7694IMG_7695 Broskie finished his bowl clean. So did I.

IMG_7697 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.

IMG_7708IMG_7711IMG_7712Yea 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.IMG_7742IMG_7743IMG_7736IMG_7755IMG_7756

Dinner may have sucked balls, but I think we made the last night pretty memorable, eh guys?

That’s about it for the 2nd day.

LAST DAY COMING SOON

College is a killer sometimes.
