it was a fun long weekend... really nice. we had planned to go on saturday to ipoh and so on, but actually, we didn't. we were on our way. left the house at 8.30 to have breakfast first and then go to on our way. as soon as we took the sg buloh toll.. a few kilometers down the highway and we were stuck in a jam. on the highway. @_@
we'd exited at rawang since we thought it was pointless... going at 5km/h was not worth it. and my uncle told us it was jammed all the way to penang. what a clown. it wasn't jammed til there. my cousin who took a bus to penang said the jam was only until a rest area at rawang and it was free flowing. ish. so we headed back and stayed the rest of the day at home. luggage nicely roasting (int he afternoon) in the booth of course :p
so sunday we finally left on our way, again, at 9am and no jam this time. it was fine until we reached the penang bridge. there was a small accident and it took us 20 minutes just to cross it -_-;; lucky us, we were at the bridge around noon because in the newspaper the next day, one guy said he was stuck on the bridge for 1 1/2 hours and only crossed the bridge at 2pm ^^;;
we had lunch at one of the hawker stalls then headed for the hotel, since check-in time was only at 2pm. we got to the hotel, chucked our bags in our room (i shared the room with my 2 brothers & cousin). it was really nice since we had a balcony facing the pool, 2 twin beds plus we asked for another 2 single beds. so we were quite comfortable. only problem was those 3 guys... are well guys. so you cannot exclude a messy room, wet bathroom, tiny *ahem* hairs all over the bathroom.... funny smells @_@ ...do i need to go on?
after chucking our bags... actually, we really did unpack. usually i'd just leave my clothes in the suitcase and take whatever i want from it whenever i want to but the boys were like, "but we always unpack!" looking at me as though i'm the weird one ^^; so we did, and of course the next thing is to jump into our swimwear and rush for the water volleyball at 3.30pm :)
fun as usual. the best part about these activities, you get to meet ppl (mostly old fellas lar... but we did have a mix... right to those whose feet can't even touch the bottom of the pool. it's only a max of 1.5m), none of them were... well, you know. potentitally eye catching, or something along those lines ^^; actually, there were.. just 2... middle east ones who reminded me of joseph fiennes (*drools*) who have a
we got outta the pool at about 6.30pm, had a shower then went for dinner across the hotel. there's a huge food court... which obsolutely sucks for penang standards. came back to the hotel, boys making clowns of themselves. farting at each other. what's the deal with guys and farting? O_o it was so bad (and really funny XD) to the point where you know what they'd do? wake up in the middle of the night when they feel the need to fart, go up to one of the boys (eg, my cousin gets up and goes to one of my brothers), wake him up and fart on his face. thank god they have /some/ respect for me. they didn't dare try. and of course, we must include the gaiety that goes on in the room.. my cousin has a flare of gaying every song there is in just seconds. quite hilarious some of them :P it's even funnier since he behaves all innocent and nice infront of the elders.. and behind closed doors, he's the naugtiest person around.
the next day, we all woke up at 8.45am to have breakfast. it's 2 free meals each room, and since there's 3 rooms, 4 of us plus my other cousin (girl) & uncle had breakfast. and as usual, before breakfast we're fighting for who's going into the bathroom first, and if the one who's gonna have a dump must go last or we'll all suffer the stench.. lol. if you haven't guessed by now, my family can be quite sick XP
after breakfast.. we lepaked a bit.. let the food digest.. and then we're in the pool again before noon, since there's water basketball. it was even more fun since there was more people. a lot of japanese around too. apparently it's their "golden week" or something. 3 days holidays, like us, so there was them, and us, and the orang "red-skinned" putihs.. hehe. ok ok, i'm not dissing them or anything. just that they remind me of defeathered chickens XD probably should refer those who sunbath as orang merah instead.
this time we spent a little more time in the pool. cause after water basket ball, we came out for about 2 hours and jumped back in for another 3 more when it was time for water volleyball. burnt my nose, cheeks... shoulders. okay, i admit i didn't put any "sun-block" but just cream. so it's my fault. but my brother looks the same as me and he put on sun-block so.... meh. at least i saved myself the torture of the smell :P
had dinner. blah blah. sat at the beach at night.... til about 1.30am when my dad called me and asked where were we (the kids basically). we're gone to the club for dinner, followed by karaoke, which was 'killing me softly with their words' (pun intented, assuming you even got it -_-) so we "kids" left to go back earlier.
the next morning was a replica of the previous morning. bathroom, breakfast, pool.. except this time i didn't go in since i didn't want to go thru the hassle of washing my hair from more chlorin, getting my already burnt skin charred and that it was only for the water basketball since we were checking out that afternoon. we stayed at my aunt's place that night. we mostly spent the day at her house. lazying about. doing nothing. we were quite tired with the swimming n all. we did go out for dinner, and that was it.
we left penang at 9am, stopped by at ipoh (since we didn't the first time around) for 2 hours and continued our journey back home. i also managed to finally finish reading "the poet" today on my way back. wow.. what a plot!! didn't think the last 50 pages or so would actually make a lot of difference. reached home at 2.30pm. home sweet home XD
and now, i shall plop onto the my most excellent bed, with my most excellent pillows and bloster and sleeeeeeeep~~ XD
