MY LITTLE BREAKAWAY

Ahhh... just got back from Penang. Most probably my last vacation as a bachelor. Went there with Raddy who will also end his bachelor days in another 4 months. It was actually our 3rd trip to Penang or to be precise Bt. Ferringhi. I dont know why but everytime we plan a vacation like this, Penang will always be on top. Is it the beach? The food? The environment? The people? Money inclination? Yes. Penang seems to be a great place for our budget breakaway. Have to be careful in spending money nowadays... ngehngehngeh (and Shidah would go... really?)

We departed at 12am Friday from Puduraya. Yes, we backpacked to Penang. Tiring but interesting. In that way, we get to see lots of people with various attitude. Some are to be taken as lessons and not to mention, some are to be laugh at (mostly, heehee...).

We arrived at Butterworth around 4am (one fast driver), had our breakfast and waited for the first ferry to the island. From the island's jetty, we walked to Komtar (damn good exercise) and had another breakfast (hahahahahaha...). The waiter was an old man. So deaf I tell you. He acted like we ordered wrongly but he was the one who wasn't listening. In the end we figured out he was so tired after a long shift because he left home with his bicycle after taken our orders.

Later, I got yelled by this one insane man while waiting for the bus to Ferringhi. Damn. Nasib baik kau gila, kalau tak dah lama aku hentak. And Raddy made the bus conductor mad by not returning the newspaper he borrowed. We checked-in to the same hotel we stayed for our last 2 visits (within budget maa...). Great bed and great breakfast (What more could you ask?)

What we did for the whole 3 days and 2 nights stay at Bt. Ferringhi?
1. Went window shopping at the night market along Jalan Bt. Ferringhi
2. Went to Nasi Kandar Line Clear next to Chowrasta Market for lunch
3. Sleep like there's no tomorrow


We didnt even dip our feet into the pool nor the beach. Cool eh? That's our kind of vacation. Well, maybe we wont be able to have this kind of vacation anymore in the future... once we ended our wonderful bachelor days. Hehehe... Cheers!
