01-02-12

Back from Penang trip. Quite fulfilling, had a couple of first times... Cool!! But also some sorrows to add on too...

The day that i'm suppose to fly off right after exam was already a hectic start for me.. It was such a rush for me as my exam starts at 3:45pm and ends and 6:45pm(officially), flight is at 7pm and need to reach 45mins before flight time. See the picture now?

The stress level i need to handle is that i need to complete each question within 15-25mins, which is practically quite impossible if you're aiming for an A. So the need of keeping track with time and at the same time rushing to write as much points as i can is heavily stressful. But i did it and managed to run out at 5:45pm.

Luckily i got the best friend ever that is waiting for me at my school gate, picked me up and rushed me to the airport. Reached just in time at 6:15pm, Checked-In and had mins left which i managed to grab a burger from Mac and eat it in the terminal. Kind of exciting to start my trip in such a way. Hopefully my grade out will be good.

Next up was the flight delay which was caused by the many planes queuing up for take off. Its really queuing as i can see from my window that there were 4 planes infront of mine waiting to take off at the runway.

Next up was when i'm inside the plane, i found some entertainment through a small boy, poke some fun at him but treated him to some gummies too.. Haha!!

The moment i step out from arrival hall of Penang, the first thing that greeted me from my mother was that "EVERYTHING IS GONE".. My face gone half blank that was true... LOL... It was actually Uncle's bag that was stolen while he was in the toilet. Like almost RM10k, multiple credit cards and 2 phones lost. Was at the airport for the next 2hrs plus till finally all reports was done.

Day 1

Went to visit my grandpa early in the morning and had breakfast with him. So heartwarming cuz the last time i saw him was like July or something.

Next was to another relative place to pray the ancestors from my mother side, and guess what, it was the first time i visited a paddy field, thus when opportunities shows itself to me, i grabbed it and went on for a round to harvest a section of the field. Cool! Shall show you guys some pictures of it.






The grains i picked and peeled myself
The beautiful cloud and scenery

Then again to visiting godma and other relatives. Ended the night with gambling which managed to let me win 20 over bucks. Have been winning since i started during CNY. Hope it continues to run well..

Day 2

Woke up with breakfast bought and not long after late breakfast was steamboat lunch. According to my Aunt, she prepared all because of me, and there were tons of my favorite meat balls... LOL... There after, we sent my cousin to the airport to catch his flight back to Bangkok. We could have done more with that day, but sadly to say, the jams along the way has taken our lives away..

Went to the snake temple for prayer as its the 'snake deity' birthday. Was sort of forced to take picture with the huge python, paid RM30, BUT someone lost the picture. (you know who you are) hahaha!!!(:
The Pythons
Venomous snakes



Checked into the hotel right after that, then we went ahead with our dinner at one of the usual. Still love the foods... Yum Yum!!!

Back to hotel right after and hit the sack early...


Day 3

Woke up damn super early to go morning market to buy all the stuffs for prayer.. Damn lots of stuffs bought and thrown into the car to be brought back to JB. Took dunno how many trips to be able to finish taking all the stuffs.

Back to mainland and visited paternal granny. She looks super healthy and awake now. It was totally different from the first time i saw her since many years of not seeing her. She can eat by her own, talk more and even recognise me better now. Very surprising, but true.

Dinner with the rest of the relatives then i am supposed to get to bed since i gotta wake up pretty early the next day for an exciting trip back to JB...
Yu Sheng time

Day 4

Its the coolest transport i've taken so far. Train back to JB. Sounds easy right? Like you always to the MRT back around Singapore right? Let me tell you how it works, though its the same, stop every stops it comes by, but the hours i took is good enough for you to be able travel maybe 5times around the whole Singapore.

The ride was actually a great experience, and not as bad as i have actually foresee. The only harsh reality for me is when i saw people eating their packed food on the train!): Because the only food sold on the train is some meagre cup noodles, don't even know what brand it is.

The train was moving slow from Bukit Mertajam to Sentral KL due to some glitch to its front brake. But it took about 30mins to change it at KL then move off fast. In the end, there was a delay for 90mins. In the end, i reached JB at 9:40pm, which was a 1hr40mins delay...






But end of the day, i felt that it was a superb experience...

After the tiring ride, its time for the prayer of Heaven birth... Lighted firecrackers... And that marks the end to my hectic CNY!!


I shall post all pictures and videos in the next post or maybe edit it back into this post.. Stay tune!!(:
