Penang Trip 2005

Went to Penang for Hari Raya Haji. We started from Melacca at 2pm. Me, Abu & Ben Mashimaro. Stopped by KL and met-up with Hardchub & Ezam. BTW Happy Birthday Ezam. Hardchub was estatic showing his new Lasik Eyes (Lazer Eye Treatment). Maybe I want to get those too. But I like my glasses as well. We all parted at 6.00 pm. The road was jammed up until Tapah. Luckily, i was driving Abu_Chub new Gen-2 car with auto transmission. So it was just a breeze.

Reached Penang at 4.30 am. Imagine driving on a high-way at 3o mph. Anyway, it's good for the car's engine running-in. Abu went back to his mom's house. While me and Ben stayed in Butterworth coz Abu's house was full with family and friends.

Later we met up with Usman for a KFC lunch and then Imran joined us at Usman's house for Hari Raya ketupat & rendang (courtesy of Abu's mom). I was so tired that the day time ended with me sleeping the whole day, while Ben played some games with on PS2. At night we went for some kareoke sessions at bandar Perda. Alimin joined us in the midst of us trying to croon to Mariah Carey "My All". Which was really like a low key a rendition.

The next day the 3 of us went to one of Abu's schoolmate house on Penang Island for a Hari Raya treat. Nasi Briyani Penang style. Got really bloated.. food was good. Later Usman & Alimin joined us at Komtar. We all went to Gurney Plaza for a movie titled "Elektra". Imran went bitching about how bad the movie was, which I couldn't agree more. We all came back to Butterworth at 2.00 am. Had a light dinner cum supper at Subaidah.

The next day woke up really late. Then had some lunch with all of the gang. After which we all went to Penang Megamall for some shopping. Then Alimin brought us to Kulim for a traditional massage. It's a new experience but can't elaborate here.. maybe later. Then went back to sleep.

The final day, went to Bayan Lepas to send Ben back to the airport. Then me and Abu drove to Penang Road to find some souveniers. There had been a massive traffic jam all around the city area. Had lunch at "Line Clear" Restaurant. Arghhh.. still the same.. with motorbikes going through the kitchen and serving food with their raw hands.

Went back to Melacca afterthat. This time the roads were smooth and no traffic jams on the highway. Had a quick bite near Bukit Merah Laketown Resort. All due to Abu had taken a wrong road. Anyway, the food was nice.
