Tour Guide #2 / Driver / Penang (Day 2)

I am back again!
Second day begins with me being Zombie. The effect was real quick. The cons of staying away from my real home was the bed. I miss my bed at home terribly. I tried to minimize the impact by bringing pillows, my "Bantal Busuk" along but still, I couldn't sleep properly. I think I am overly exhausted to begin with too which explains the not being able to fall asleep part. Nevertheless once I am with the gang, I don't think about it anymore. They were so good at distracting me. Spending time with people your age is a good remedy for whatever things you are going through.

First destination was Teluk Bahang Dam. Few hundred meters from Bayu Emas Apartment. I've visited this place a few times. One of the main sources of water for the whole Penang Island. We had a new guest. Coco!

Boo Yah! :D

Scattered around enjoying the view.

I love the rocks. Beautiful isn't it?

Next venue, we proceeded to Zheng Khin's Parent's Shop by the name of Fook Cheow Cafe.

Kuih Teow Th'ng.
Everybody said the soup was really good. Some even said, it's the best food they had in Penang.

It was ZK's parents' treat. His mother even said, "If you want to add, don't be shy".
Thank kiuuu Aunty! :)

After we were all satisfied, we went to Chew Tean Yang. The biggest pet shop I've ever seen in my life. It was also my first visit. I think I failed being a Penangite as there are many places I don't know.
We were greeted by a few parrots at the main entrance.

Hello. Hello.
<Just saying. It didn't said anything. HAHA>

Raccoon?
I'm like WOAH. They have raccoons here.
It's like Pocahontas Dream Come True

Good Old Classic.

I thought monsters like this exists only in Ultraman?
Turtle/Tortoise: *Yawning. YOLO thus sleep more*

Me and my brother!

Pretty ladies taking a rest.
Spot that cat: Imma' take a shower. *Lick lick*

Candid! The dog on the right seems to blend in very well too. LOL

We then proceeded to get our cars and eat CENDOL. It's not the usual Penang Famous Cendol but according to the locals which is ZK, both the famous Cendol uncle and this uncle "graduated" from the same Master. ZK also says both tastes the same and the queue is very long. "Why queue when you can have the same thing?"

Tadaa!

Pro at work :)

The main attraction of this dessert is the green worm-look-a-like.It is not made of any disgusting ingredients. Just plain coconut milk and pandan for the colour. Brown sugar too.

Imagine us crowding the stall. Free advertisement! :D

Next venue: Kek Lok Si. You are not a tourist if you did not pay this place a visit. A Chinese Temple. There were new structures such as the The Kuan Yin.

The Goddess of Mercy, Kuan Yin

Camerawoman caught in action.
The Pagoda behind is the older building that exists some time ago.

Random shots. Heading to see the life liberation pond.

The life liberation pond for tortoises/ red neck slider.

You can purchase Kangkung/Water Spinach to feed them.
It's a good way to earn good merits.

Kai Lun with two hot chicks! ;)

Wah Gor won the beauty pageant contest.

Goat girls.

Monkey Business.

Lanterns with donors' name.

I love this section. You choose any wish which you want to fulfill, each ribbon costs RM1. Then write your name, and hang on the tallest branch.
It is believed that the higher you can hang the ribbon, your wish will come true.

Star jump! Monkeys! Trampolin!

Group shot :)

After taking tons of pictures, we decided to go uphill to the Air Itam Dam. I thought there was only one dam which was the Teluk Bahang Dam but no. There was one more. On the other side of the island. It was windy and we pretended to be shampoo models. Letting the wind carries strands of hair. Bla bla bla, stuff like that. -.-

The picture ain't doing it justice. It was a peaceful and nice looking place.
I saw uncles exchanging stories at the benches like they are holding an AGM.

Kathy: Is that what I think it is?
Kuan Ling: I wana see if I have any food in my bag.
Ivy: Stop it paparazzi. I am not in the mood to take pictures.
Ivy's Bf: Candy crushing!

Yours truly and Jasmine.

The two love birds. Matching black singlets. Leaning on shoulder. Enjoying the same view.
So much love. LOL

Mini group shot. Some went missing.

For late lunch, they had laksa. Wah Gor's voice was too sexy to take spicy and sour food and I am suppose to avoid spicy food too. So we both went to somewhere else to have plain soup food.

Penang Laksa. Slurps.

We then proceeded to Little Genting Hill. Yes. Another place that I don't know exist. It was further than Teluk Kumbar. The road uphill was really steep. > <.  We were supposed to catch the sunset.

Breath taking view :)

Me and Charis :)

Membajak tanah

I love the chilling session. It's a windy day.

Lih Pyng managed to capture the sunset while we were on our way down.
In Bukit Genting, it was blocked by a big mountain. :)

We came down for dinner. Hai Boey Seafood. We split into two tables. The food was so fresh. I've never tasted such fresh fish. Then again it's Garoupa fish. Not cheap. At the price of RM70. Then again, it was really worth it because it was really really yummy!

The restaurant is located by the beachside. While waiting for our orders, we stroll by the beach.

Feeling thicked skin, I played the slide.
Unfortunately, I got stuck. It was slippery enough to slide down and not because I am fat.
I AM NOT FAT~!

Fried Calamari

Fried Prawn(Ha Kou Yok) with Kerabu Mango

Steam Garoupa Fish in Thai Sauce

Stir Fry Kai Lan

And the last dish was Salted Egg Crab. It was like the bomb. We didn't take picture as we were busy eating. OM NOM NOM!

Satisfied customers. :)

Satisfied customers table 2.

We then go on separate ways to diverge the attention of Kim Mooi. Her belated Birthday celebration. Charis has to tell Kim Mooi a lie, saying that Jun Yi's car spoil already, let's change car. So all my loyal passengers have to change to ZK's car while I take in his passengers. I drove my passengers to Gurney to buy a cake. Thanks to Teresa, she jumped out of the car with Jasmine and Wah Gor buy the necessary items. 

Surprise! :D Happy Birthday To You~

I have to distract Kim Mooi by hugging her and telling her I was so tired and bla bla bla. She got shocked and tried to runaway after being presented the cake. Milo had to hold her down. Hahaha!

Then some of them decided to go toilet. In batu ferringhi beach, there is no public toilet. You will need to sneak into hotel's toilet. They decided to sneak in into Flamingo Hotel. And then~

You Die Now!

Jocelyn was one of them too.

They got "thrown" out of the hotel by the security. Hahaha. Because they were too noisy. LOL.

We then left after enjoying the night breeze by the beach. I stopped in Hard Rock Hotel, just to show them around. I love Hard Rock Hotel as always.

A must shot! :)

Pretty ladies. <3

When we got back to Bayu Emas, I immediately rush to the bathroom and take a shower. Everybody needs their shower really bad. After showering all of us was very happy. A catch up session with some of them. It was a great bonding time. My sleeping partners for the night was Kuan Ling and Kathy. They were so nice. Unlike my BFF, whom sleep on top of me, kick me, steal my blanket and bla bla bla. LOL

Stay tuned for Day 3. So sorry for the inefficient long lost blogpost.

I got hooked with Dayre for my daily rants. Do follow me on: dayre.me/junyihoe


Love y'all! :)
