Penang Tour-Day One.
[Day 1: Completed]
[Day 2: In progress]
One week of midterm break went by like a flash...
All the fun happened in the last 3 days!!..We had a Penang Tour (cricket), our University team went to penang to play against USM(Universiti Sains Malaysia).
So since this was a trip..i asked prith if he was free and if he could join us as a "fan/supporter/water boy/scorer/photographer/..." and he said "why not?!"
We were playing on Saturday and Sunday...but left on friday...
Itinerary
Departure from (IIUM gombak): supposedly 7.00 a.m but we left at nearly 8 a.m
Pit-stop: Tapah R&R for breakfast..around 10.20 a.m.
The colonel is watching...
Lets get back on the road...
The tunnel of...
Pit-stop No.2..Drivers are "refreshed"..and the bus is refueled....
Arrival: Penang Island USM around 2.00 p.m. Since the bus driver was agonisingly slow..we missed our friday prayers...i think i should do the driving..
On the plus side, we had a great bus to go in...had 2 tvs..dvd players..watched movies...and had "business" class seats...maybe they wanted to show off to the Aussie guy lurking among us.>>Pman..haha..kidding....
First thing we do when we arrive is EAT!!..ahhah..Lunch..at
"Nasi Kandar Khaleel 24 Jam"
After that we go to check into our "HOsTEL"..courtesy of USM...we got a room on the 10th floor...but it was above our standards...much better than the ones in IIUM gombak..
The view from our rooms...
At night..
Once we got our rooms..everyone took a bath..prayed...and then head off to the cricket field for some early practice for saturdays match...
After the practice..headed back to our rooms....and then we went for Dinner..at one of the millions and billions of nasi kandar outlets...this one was called "subaidah"...i think we were competing on who can get the fattest bill...can u believe one of us paid 18 bucks for mamak food..haha..i paid 13 la..while pman around 15 i think...i think this was because we ate praws, chicken tandoori/goreng, mutton....some fancy drink "mango sprite soda"..hahaah...and that was not the only drink...damn..now to think of it..why the hell did we order so much food...??
well after that huge bill...we went back to the "HOsTEL"..and then we went to this pedestrian bridge..and took a few photos..after a few minutes..it looked awkard that so many guyz of "indian-subcontinent" origin were hanging around the bridge..as if we were some labourers who work for one of the 24 hours outlets...
...pman..Hashim (comedian/joker/singer/bowler)...and..mr. ehaab..
well anyways..after taking some photos..went back to the room...and i think we slept around 2 am..after hearing some useless "scary" stories...and then we went to bed..
OK i will continue the story later...DAY ONE is over...actually it was over after 12 a.m..i strecthed it till 2 a.m
BTW, this was the first time my complete 512MB memory of the camera was used up..i think there were nearly 600 photos...
