penang

Tat and I agreed that for this trip: instead of the usual Penang Obligations (forcing down charkueyteow/asam laksa/or-chien for breakfast, rinse repeat for lunch and dinner) - we’ll do whatever I- err we feel like doing.

No running around! Just lots of R&R. That also means no waking up early *glares at Tat

day one

Was spent doing absolutely nothing- save for wandering about Queensbay Mall, yum dinner at Gurney Drive, and lots of telly. Early night as we were tuckered out from the long drive.

#1 first thing I did upon checking in was to dive into the most comfortable bed in the world. hello Traders Hotel pillows it has been too long <3

lessons in redang

I do think that I’d learnt to be a bit more thick skinned after spending a weekend with The Club.  

Walking through a room full of people with a garbage bag over our heads

It was pouring with rain on the second night. While we were in the cafeteria wondering how to walk back without risking pneumonia, we realised that we had nicely left our umbrellas behind in the room. So it’s safe (and a little ironic) to conclude that the purpose of bringing the brollies over to Redang was to shelter us from the… sun.

We had no choice but to ask the kitchen staff for a big black garbage bag (those you see murderers stuffing their victims into for an impromptu disposal). After receiving it, Tze  told us to “Fuck, practice first so we won’t get wet!”

And the four of us scuttled through the cafeteria full of unsuspecting diners with the big black garbage bag held over our heads, caterpillar style. I only noticed the whistles and laughter halfway through…

Underage flirting

Aud and Tze were a little disappointed over the percentage of eye candy at the resort (read: 0%). So disappointed that they settled for a decent looking… boy, who looked no older than 15.

At the beginning, Tze and Aud were subtly hiao- but Tze deduced later that at the age of fifteen, boys prefer girls who are more… rebellious. A round of aggressive flirting (from our side) ensued, and the boy escaped to the balcony outside for a snooker game with his (sigh) younger brother.

Oh well… your loss, kid.

Dealing out threats to annoying people

While gingerly making our way to the ferry, some juvenile delinquents up front decided that it was fun to scare us by rocking the floating jetty with their weight. We shrieked as we tried to maintain our balance, but amidst the yells we could hear Aud’s voice loudly declaring, “IF I FALL IN, IMMA FUCKING BREAK HIS BOOMBOX OVER HIS HEAD”.

Being kiasu at the airport

Despite the curious stares, we were already standing in line at the counter a whole half hour before the gate was announced open. And when it finally did, we started running- then sprinting to the plane. Unfortunately we ran to the wrong door… So our anger at being overtook by almost everyone in the end was pretty justifiable >((

What can I say

I am now equally as shameless. I love you guys to bits :)

♥ “Kam tin ngor…” wtf

club trip ‘08

In contrast to the angry post below, here are some happy photos from the weekend getaway! However it slipped my mind to bring the camera charger (doiiii) so there was enough juice for only one day :((( Never fear there are three more cameras! Will post the other photos up when the rest are done with ‘em.
