Cuti-Cuti Malaysia: Penang

Took Aeroline up to Penang this time around.

They've totally upgraded since the last time I took them. They now give you a blanket in addition to the small pillow, rice meals and personal in-bus entertainment! It really feels like you're on a plane, and the seats are so much more comfy than your average economy class passenger aircraft =)

I finally got to see Bibi and Ivy again like what?? After 3 years??!

I miss being in high school and being crazy XD

Penang has changed a lot since...
and so have our lives

Welcome to Straits Quay

The place feels so ang moh *LOL*

Other than the cute Charlie Brown decorations, there's really nothing to rave about this place because everything we ordered SUCKS! We didn't try their main course and stuff, but I doubt it'll be any better.

Visited the original T-Bowl Concept Restaurant in Queensbay Mall. All I can say is it's worst than the one in Sunway Pyramid =S The lighting is too dark and the drinks and dessert were sickly sweet...it SUPER SUCKS!

Out of the three concept stores we went to, Clinic Café has the most acceptable food. It's not great but they are definitely better than the other two. It could be due to us only ordering the fried snacks and drinks, so I can't say for the rest of their menu options.

Some things just don't change...
like friendship ♥ and a few other things

Ivy still likes her muscle men =P

Bibi still have her awesome BBQ ^_^

And I'm still me XD

It was really really great to be able to meet up again =)

If only we were complete *sigh* =(

Anyway...let's move on with the post...

Got to see Bibi's super cute nephews ^_^

Aren't they a bit Chinese-looking? *LOL*

Sorry David, I forgot to take picture of you =P

Managed to meet up with Boon Hoe and David as well =)

Thanks Boon Hoe for driving us around and bringing us go makan ^_^

Mee mamak at Bangkok Lane. It's a bit wet for my liking but the taste is not bad, and I really like how they added small pieces of cuttlefish inside for texture. There's however one thing with this place though, their service attitude is really TERRIBLE. It took them half an hour to get our order done just because we ordered one large plate to share amongst the three of us. The worst thing was they came to our table to confirm our order 3-4 times when Boon Hoe already went to order at the stall before we even sat down. Just because you serve good food doesn't mean you can bully your customers! >_<

Went to Viva Local Food Haven (东城饮食中心) for some good old hawker food. I finally got my fried oyster *wee~* ^_^ The oysters as you can see in the picture is quite huge compared to the usual ones you get in KL or even Gurney Drive, and it was relatively cheaper too =) We ordered grilled stingray as well, which was really good especially with the additional sauce YUM! But I only remembered I've forgotten to take a picture when the fish was half demolished, so I didn't bothered XD Didn't really like the 卤面 (loh mee) Boon Hoe got because there's one kind of taste to it, and I forgot what David ordered because it was nothing special *haha*

That wraps up the end of my Cuti-Cuti Malaysia to Penang.

Stay tuned for Cuti-Cuti Malaysia Sarawak and Ipoh =D

Chilling at Chiling

I've been wanting to go to Chiling for such a long time!

A bunch of us finally made the trip last month during Labor Day =D

Wondering why I still have a long face?

Because Viran and I was the first to arrive at uni >_<

Luckily we had access to the med building *muahahaha*

After mamak breakfast, we started our journey to Kuala Kubu Bharu.

I forgot how long it took us, but it was quite a distance lar...

Ready to conquer the treacherous path to the waterfall!

This was one of the easier water crossings,

so we still had smiles across our faces.

Check out what happened when it got tougher XD

The current was so strong it washed away Viran's flip-flops!

But some nice people picked it up downstream and informed him.

So the prodigal flip-flops returned to it's owner on his way back =P

erm...was actually quite disappointed with the waterfall...

but I guess after Rainbow Waterfall, anything else will just be inferior =.=

Thanks to Brandon,

we had black bread with "black" hands *LOL*

Didn't really know what to do after being disappointed =(

So went to climb some rocks and trees *haha*

Then these two daredevils thought it'd be fun to try and kill themselves.

Group picture~ ^_^

We sort of realized it was kind of fun to play with water after that,

so we all became kids and splashed around till we got tired of it XD

On the way back, the sky started to darken.

We were very lucky to have made it back to the car when it started to pour.

Got back and had dinner at Piccadilly.

Since it was still early, we went for dessert at Sweet Bean.

I am of course happy when there's dessert *hehe*

You have now reached the end of the post.

Thanks for chilling with me till now =P

Just Us and Penang

Full access to pictures

Listen to this while reading if you wish.



I'm too young to feel this old (or am I?), but it just feels right to write this post like this...

On one very fine day,
six young people decided to drive an old car all the way to Penang,
just because they felt like it.


They wanted to gobble up all that Penang had to offer,
so they ordered fried kway teow, fried oyster, and hae mee a.k.a Hokkien mee
everywhere they went until they got sick of it, literally!

There were lots of other food too of course,
but I'll reserve the review for another post when I come around to it.

For now, it's just the story of six crazy young people
who were courageous enough to go into a bar with shorts and flip-flops XD


Being young and full of energy,
they hiked to a far away beach just because they can.


Even though they are all different in their own way,
it did not matter because it was their free spirit that unites them.

May all six of these young people live a fruitful and awesome happy life always =)

~Be Forever Young~

p.s. I really don't mean to sound so old >_<

The Climb, Up Broga Hill

Most of us went over to Weng Howe's house to sleepover on Friday night before the climb, just in case we couldn't wake up in time XD Though some of us end up not being able to sleep the whole night at all due to certain alien invasions and weird sounds -_-'' We left for Broga around 4.30a.m. the next morning in hope that we could catch the sunrise.

Arrived at the first peak, while it's still dark.
Too bad the pretty view behind could not be captured =(

This is either the second or third peak, I can't remember.
Since the Halloween-looking trees were in the way, we decided to climb up to the last peak.

Probably the best view we could get slightly below the last peak.
The last peak was already jammed packed when we got there =(

Emo-ing because the sunrise sucked >_<
We never have any fate with the sun, be it sunrise or sunset T_T
I was really disappointed actually *sigh*

Celebrated Michelle's birthday all the way up there ^_^
Kudos to old uncle Brian who carried the not-very-nice-cake (sorry Brandon =P) the whole way up *LOL*

*weeee~*
Love this jump shot with Pei Yee ^_^

The origination of the ass shots *LOL*

All of us can't wait to get down the hill for our brunch.

YAY JUNE!
You made it all the way up and down in one piece despite your fear of heights =D

We were the first customer at the restaurant XD

Top: 卤面 (loh mee) and really weird fried rice noodles
Didn't like the 卤面 and the rice noodles were TERRIBLE =S
Middle: 老鼠粉 (lou syu fan) and the restaurant's signature mee mamak
Their mee mamak was very nice but the 老鼠粉 was just so so.
Bottom: Vegetable and Sweet and Sour Pork
The Sweet and Sour Pork was like over-fried flour and vegetables were just vegetables.

Thank you driver Weng Howe and driver Brandon =)
And of course the photographer/porter Brian XD

Kamunting Year End Trip

This is going to be a lazy post.
Don't really feel like blogging, but just want to blog this.


Went to Kamunting, Taiping to visit Madam Kang and her dogs for the second time 'round.
Didn't do much this time, but we got to dubbed a puppy 'Leo' =)

BBQ for dinner that night.
Chicken wings and Yi Zheng's roti bakar FTW!

Visited the Taiping Children's Home.
The kids are quite different from the ones at Angel's Home.

Dinner at Meridien Hotel.
And my first installment of fried tofu.

Dim Sum breakfast at Ipoh OPPOSITE Foh San (富山茶楼) XD
Their dim sum portion is small and taste so so only.

Regretted not buying the kaya puff at Sin Eng Heong (新荣香).
It was really nice =(

Funny Mountain Soya Bean (奇峰) is so funny
because they have business cards with GPS coordinates *LOL*

芽菜鸡 (bean sprouts chicken) at 老黄 (Lou Wong).
Taste okay lah like chicken and bean sprouts *haha*

Last food stop at Ipoh.
So we stuffed our self silly with pork satay and fruit rojak XD

Dinner together after we reached Sunway.
And my second installment of fried tofu.

My third installment of fried tofu at Shelaiton (喜来登)
as a token of forgiveness for forgetting me >_<

My fourth installment of fried tofu at F4 Steam Fish.
4 different fried tofus in like less than 2 weeks? *wakakaka*

I haven't had any fried tofu since then.
Who knows when I'll see you again fried tofu...
...till the next time my tofu~ XD


Not forgetting the three photographers whom I've stolen pictures from =P

Brian, Adrian and Alyssa =)
