7 days roadtrip around Malaysia (Penang Part 4)

this will be my last entry for my 7 day journey around Malaysia :) haha men will never keep their promises..as we promised to meet uncle at 10am on 10th January 2008..as usual, we were LATE and uncle waited for us for till 1130am..we went up the bus and saw 3 innocent empty looking seats on the bus not realising it was of different colour and for needy people, 3 of us just went and sat there *look at the words on the glass* haha all of us were to tired to take note of that sign..anyway, there weren't any disabled or old people ma..no harm rite? so we reached bukit bendera and quickly paid for the tram to go up the hill..it was a very long ride up which looks something like this :

anyway, after 30 minutes of squeezing in the densely packed tram, we finally reached the top of Penang Hill aka Bukit Bendera..the temperature there was surprisingly low..i didn't know it would be something like in cameron's? it was misty also so i loved the weather and the scenery from top!


so, bukits are normally surrounded by trees and when there are TALL trees, they normally have a hanging bridge..haha each of us paid RM5 just to go on the canopy walk..alex, was so so so scared, when at the end, darren shoke the bridge damn hard then alex shouted "woi dont shake la later reach, i whack the fella who shake!!!!" me and wai hong nearly cried :')

picture of wai hong, me and sin loong

we had lunch on top of the hill and then made our way down at bout 3 in the afternoon..then after that, uncle tour guide brought us to ferigghi's to see the beach and hopefully can buy super cheap pirated dvd's!! when we reached the beach, we saw people playing beach games, but what caught my interest was paragliding *i think this is what this game is called* woohoo!!! where else to play this kinda things if not in batu ferringhi?? *pushing aside other well known beaches* so i managed to persuade sin loong to play with me...haha so excited! we onli paid RM50 each which i think is okay not too expensive for the experience :) we were given a short briefing of how to land later when on air..AND they even promised if ever any part of body get wet, we dont have to pay anything! *hmmm wonder if you pee in your pants is considered wet?*

me landing safely!

due to strong peer pressure by me, in the end all of them played except alex (scared of heights) justin (still on a budget trip :P) everyone enjoyed the "flying" experience! but rite, taking off and landing onli chi kek when ur in the air, you feel abit bored and then you'll think *oh shit i paid 50bux to do this*
this is a clip of darren taking flight and setting his kukubird free :D
this is a pic of han meng landing..only the taking off and landing was fun..up there, it was.....

after playing on the beach, we got to know that the dvd's dont come out until after 7pm so we didnt want to wait so we went gurney's again..we bade farewell to uncle tour guide for his kindness of bringing us around :) we had dinner at gurney's again but this time it was packed with people! so everything wasnt that tasty :(

we made our way back to the apartment at bout 7something and took the bus to KOMTAR so that we can buy bus tickets back the next day..actually earlier on that day, we also went to the bus ticket counters but didnt want to buy first BUT at night, got hot girl selling the tickets..heh heh heh..justin if you are reading this, you will remember clearly what happened ya..*SNAP!!*

the bus we took back to the apartment was kinda old and wind cond..suddenly the bus stopped!! not for passengars to go down but stop permanently!! the bus ran out of GAS!! gosh we all got a shock and the since we had to wait for refill to come, we played with the bus :D heh heh

jin wen being the bus driver now
sin loong trying to push the bus alone
note the two buggers at the wheel! jin wen can smile summor..hahah
haha us pushing the bus..even the guy with tongkat tried to help us push!

finally we reached back home kinda late and the girl in the western food stall who saw us, came out and greet us and so we took a picture with her :) she was a nice person..ah xie (thank you mia xie xie mia xie) hahaha


finally, we took the early morning bus back to malacca except me and justin who went to ipoh for another 2days..justin went for the la salle convention while i went to find a good friend :) anyway, that was my whole 7 day trip ariound Malaysia which was awesome, brought us even closer as friends, priceless memories and we all had fun :)
