Journey To The North East, Day 4
*ding dong*
*dad opens the door in a sleepy state*"Good morning sir, are you checking out now?"
"I'm checking out at 11.00am later and you woke me up from me sleep!!""Okay sir. Sorry sir."
Man.. That sucks. That happened at about 8.50am. I got up around that time after the incident happened. I actually thought it was 7.45am but I look out the window, it was raining heavily. My dad rushed to the coffee shop with his friend while I took my shower for the sake of my skin. After showering and etc., my mom and I brought some of our luggage down to the lobby and put them into the car but the thing is, according to her, the car is parked in front of the lobby. So, we went there but the car wasn't there and she searched high and low saying things which is related to towing, my dad and food. She then called my dad and he said that she didn't listen properly to what he said as the car is in the BASEMENT. Eventually, we managed to locate the car and chucked the luggage into the trunk.
By 9.30am, we arrived at the coffee shop. My dad ordered Char Kuey Teow and a bowl of Kuey Teow Soup for us. Then my mom decided to order Yam Cake and Vegetable Dumpling (Chai Kueh). It was pretty good actually but I really enjoyed the Char Kuey Teow. =p By 10am, we left the place and walked to the hotel and got our bags packed and ready to depart from here. When we put the rest of our luggage in the car, my mom asked my dad to put on his hands free but it was no where to be found. An argument broke out about the hands free and chewing gum? XD We went back to the room, searched the car and what not but the hands free was no where to be found. In the end, we left the hotel with my mom 'merajuk-ing' behind at 12pm.
My dad felt hungry in the car, so he drove to Upper Penang Street for Lo Bak, Tuah Pan and as for myself, Kuey Teow T'ng for lunch. After our lunch, we packed back some Lo Bak to eat in the car, bought some Wolfs Berry from a shop and left Penang. We took the longer route to the Penang Bridge as there was a traffic diversion in town. While in the car, I somewhat dozed off due to the lack of sleep for the past few days. When I got up the first time, it was raining heavily and as for the second time, I was at the Simpang Pulai Rest House. I sat down in the car and ate a small packet of Bytes while waiting for my parents to get back from the fruit stalls there. When they came back, we continued our journey back home.
When we reached Sungai Buloh, Mom called Aunty Jess, Mom's sister-in-law, regarding Uncle Ben's things. She said to collect it in One World Hotel in Bandar Utama. So we went there and took a very long time getting in, waiting and getting out. From all the hustle and bustle, we managed to reach home safe and sound at 5.30pm. Max came to us, wagging his tail and greeted us in an excited manner. We unload the car, unpacked and took our showers and came downstairs for dinner. And guess what, my dad's hands free was found!! IN HIS POCKET!! IN HIS DIRTY PANTS!! XD Dinner was as usual, ate Nasi Lemak that was bought from the rest house other home cooked food.

Well that's about it really. Got my mouse and thumb drive from Uncle Ben and my skin is much better than before. But all of this things, I really thank God for healing, protection and family. Amen.

Journey To The North East, Day 3
"Hey! Wake up! Late d"
*opens eyes and blinks blurly*
*sleeps again*
"OI!"
*opens eyes again and stared at the ceiling*
It was 8.10am when that happened. I had yet another horrible sleep which includes itching and scratching which somewhat ruined my sleep. I blame the hotel management for giving us a room which has an air-conditioning system that is somewhat terrible. I washed up and got ready to go for breakfast in a restaurant located behind the hotel. When we arrived, there were many hungry customers occupying all the seats at first sight but we managed to find a seat where nobody wants it cause of the sun. But it ended up being shaded by the roof after 10 minutes sitting there. (^.^) My dad ordered for us a bowl of Curry Mee, 3 bowls of Hokkien Mee (which took 30 minutes to prepare) and 2 plates of Char Kuey Teow (which took 35 minutes to prepare). The Char Kuey Teow was somewhat better than the one in Pulau Tikus that I ate on the first day in Penang and as for the Hokkien Mee, it was too spicy for my dad and myself. Overall, the food was good except the Curry Mee which was too sweet.
At about 10.30am, we walked back to the hotel and went down to Ayer Itam to visit grandparents again. There, we sat down awhile and watched television while my mom has a long conversation with her mother. At 11.30am, Aunty Audrey called us for lunch near Kimberley Street. My mom doesn't wanna go but instead she wants to spend time with her mom. Hence, my dad and I went down to Kimberley Street to meet up with Aunty Audrey.
We arrived at the restaurant at 12.30pm which was the precise time to meet up with her. We had our lunch in Old Town Cafe in Sungai Ujong. The food was like my grandmother's cooing back in Klang. After lunch, Aunty Audrey left for an appointment with her friend while my dad and I went to Starbucks in Gurney Plaza. I got bored sitting down there so I used the laptop and started Facebook-ing and reading mangas. After much sitting and drinking, we went back to the hotel.
I continued reading the mangas as well as communicating with my friends in MSN. At about 4.30pm, mom called up saying that she is down at the lobby with grandma waiting for us to have a small meal. We rushed down and got on her old car in Penang. We ended up in New Lane for tea. When I got out of the car, I looked at my watch (the barometer graph) and the sky. I expected them to choose a seat inside the coffee shop but they chose the seats outside in the open.
"I'm giving you all 5 minutes." I said to them.
I ordered my "long awaited" Chee Cheong Chook which I failed to eat yesterday. Parents ordered Curry Mee, Chee Cheong Fun, Popiah and White Fungus Soup as for "dessert". While eating, I felt small chills on my arms. It was raindrops! I looked at my watch and it was 5 minutes after I made the statement that it will rain within that time. We quickly grabbed our food and ran into the coffee shop. We continued eating and left the place at 5.30pm. My dad and I went back to the hotel. Dad decided to go to the gym while I sat down and enjoyed the air-conditioner blowing directly at me. One hour later, he came back all sweaty and he asked me to shower first and so I did. Once I came out from the steam-filled-room, Mom called up saying that dinner is at 8.00pm. Uncle Ben, my uncle, is bringing us out for dinner. Hehe!! I want my thumbdrive and optical mouse from him!!!
We arrived in Ayer Itam at 8.00pm, picked my mom up from her house and took a short distant drive to Bee Wei Restaurant. We had dinner with the family which I find the food rather decent. After dinner, we walked to the new house for them to discuss about the rooms while my dad and I just tagged along. By 10pm, we thought of going back to the hotel but we ended up in a pub to meet my dad's group of friends. I was like "Of all places, a pub?!". I entered and sat down. It wasn't smokey nor packed. It was rather empty and its open aired. While they are talking, I was just being hypnotized by the television which is for karoake. They were presenting Christmas Carols for Karoake which I find the lyrics somewhat dumb yet amusing.
At 11pm, we went back to the hotel. We went down to the basement carpark but it was full. Thus, we went to the nearby KFC building's carpark area which we found out that its illegal to park there if your not KFC's customer. My mom and I walked back to the hotel while my dad tries to find for a parking lot. Few minutes later, my dad came back and I asked where did he park the car. He said that he parked the car in the basement by chance. And now, I'm finishing this post and about to sleep real soon. But there was one thing that I find it somewhat disturbing, my dad stepped/knocked my foot/toes for 6-8 times today already. T-T
Well, off to bed now. Tomorrow is the last day in Penang. Home sweet home I come!!

Journey To The North East, Day 2
The alarm rang at 7.45am but as usual, I don't wake up when the alarm rings but I woke up at 8.15am today. I took a nice warm shower while my mom was still asleep and my dad went for a morning jog around the area. At 8.50am, we went down to the lobby and saw my father's friends, the professors. Had a small chit chat and few sentences later, my dad called the other friend who gave us the room. He asked to wait for 15 minutes since his son and daughters just got up. When they came down, they had some slight argument but my dad and I decided not to get involved with it.
All of us then walked to Chowrasta Market for breakfast which was rather far from the hotel. It was scorching hot cause of the clear weather we had. There are some events which I laughed on the way there but I decided not to put it here.. (Family matters between my parents =.=) 20 minutes later, we eventually arrived the market and entered a coffee shop. We had the intention to eat Curry Mee but the shop was closed. We then decided to eat Kuey Teow Soup which was rather a disappointment. After the rather disappointing meal, we headed back to the hotel but since my mom doesn't wanna walk under the extremely, overwhelming, scorching hot sun, we took the taxi back for RM10. The taxi drove us back to the hotel but he missed one turning to the left. So, he took the next turning to the left which was ILLEGAL and everything ended with a bang.
"And about insulin--" Dad said to Mom.
"STOP STOP STOP!!!!" Mom exclaimed to the taxi driver.
*bang*
The taxi driver had a collision with another car by the side rear. We quickly paid the taxi driver and scurried off back into the hotel to avoid being the witness for both drivers.
We reached the hotel at about 11.05am and we hurriedly went back to Ayer Itam for an appointment with my grandmother. We picked her up from her house and drove to Kinta Lane to view some furniture in Meiko. While viewing the furniture, I saw a generic version of an Ikea chair. My grandmother eventually purchased a television cabinet for the new house. By 1.20pm, we left the furniture shop and headed to Lorong Selamat. There, we ate Char Kuey Teow, Lo Bak, Ais Kacang and Otak-Otak. While eating lunch, a lady came by and started distributing meat floss (Bak Hoo) while rapping in Hokkien in a very amusing and entertaining way. It rhymes very well and its featured in Youtube HERE. After lunch, we headed back to the car but I somewhat forgotten something, my shades. I quickly ran back to the shop and got back my shades from the waitress. (Thought I lost them for good.. Thank God)
We went back to Ayer Itam, lazed around the house which is so hot. My dad and I decided to take a drive to Batu Ferrringhi to purchase some Banana Fritters. I knocked out in the car since I'm very sleepy. Once I got up, we've reached our destination. We bought some banana fritters and Tnee Kuih (a slice of Kuih Bakul sandwiched with sweet potato and yam which is deep-fried to perfection). Both banana fritter and Tnee Kuih were absolutely delicious. My dad then drove to Seri Tanjung Penang, a housing estate which is located beside the sea. After linguring around the area, we headed back to Ayer Itam. There, we fetched my mom back to the hotel.
At 6.00pm, we freshened up in the hotel and went down to the lobby to meet Aunty Audrey for dinner. In the process of waiting, we bumped into my dad's group of friends. When Aunty Audrey arrived, we departed for Kimberly Street. We ate Kuey Chap as the main course, a plate of duck meat as the side dish, Almond Soup and Lotus Seed Soup as the dessert. It started pouring while the 4 of us were having a conversation about one of our dearest 'cousin'.
At 8.00pm, we left the place, dropped Aunty Audrey back to the carpark where she parked her car and drove to New World Park and sat in Starbucks since he is a Starbucks Coffee biggest fan. At 10.00pm, we left the place and head back to the hotel. We were lucky to get the LAST parking lot in the hotel basement. My dad went to visit his friend on the 9th floor and was invited to go for a drink with him. They both happily went out for a drink while my mom and myself are in the hotel room. Mom reading her Shin Chan manga while I'm on the laptop finishing this post up. XD Sadly, no Nasi Beratur for us. Thought of having it but Aunty Audrey is too tired to bring us out. Oh well, at least I get to cool down in the hotel room.
Well, I'm off to MouseHunt-ing and MythMonger-ing on Facebook. See ya~

Journey To The North East, Day 1
*Estuan interius, Ira vehementi, Estuan interius, Ira vehementi, Sephiroth!!*
My phone cried out. I picked it up and activated the snooze option. It was 5.45am when it cried. It cried for like 10 times cause I had difficulties getting up from bed. At the 11th cry, I looked at the time and got up. It was already 6.48am. I walked out from my room and knocked on my parent's room door to notify them that its already time to get up. I walked back to my room and I dropped flat on my bed again. (See how tired I am.. Lazy perhaps?) 10 minutes later, I got up again and took my shower and etc. I went downstairs to take my supplements and tuned in to Animax while waiting for my parents to get ready. We departed from the house at 8.10am.
We first went to SS14 to buy some Pao and Char Kuey to fill our stomachs before reaching Ipoh. We left Subang at about 8.30am. I chowed down on the Char Siew Pao and Sang Yoke Pao as well as the Beh Huey Chee I got from the Yeow Char Kuey shop. Few minutes later, I knocked out in the car.
When I got up, we were in the Simpang Pulai Resthouse to buy some Pomelo for my grandparents in Penang. After which, we headed for Ipoh. In Ipoh, we ate in Rasa Sayang in Theatre Street. We ordered Chicken Rice, Beansprouts and Vegetable Stewed with Tamarind Peel and all these was for our breakfast. After our breakfast, we walked to Funny Mountain which sells Soya Drink and Tau Foo Fa. It was delicious. =p We then went to Starbucks to grab my Dad his coffee and left Ipoh at about 11.20am
We continued our journey to Penang and again, I knocked out till the Penang Bridge. We first went to Lorong Selamat to eat but the Lorong Selamat Char Kuey Teow shop was closed. Thus, we went to Pulau Tikus to eat. I ordered Char Kuey Teow with No Egg, Mom ordered Assam Laksa and Dad ordered Assam Fish and a plate of Char Kuey Teow with Duck Egg. Mom's friend, Aunty Audrey, joined us on the table. She ordered Nyonya Laksa, which is Assam Laksa mixed with Coconut Milk.
After lunch, 2.30pm, we visited my aunt in the nearby dental clinic. After the chit-chat and hellos, we went to Ayer Itam to visit my grandparents. We then travel to see my grandparents' new house which is undergoing renovation. The house is BIG. Bigger than my own dwelling! We dropped by my grandfather's workshop in Ayer Itam Town after checking out the new house.
At 4.50pm, we went to our hotel, Hotel Royal, which is situated in Jalan Larut, opposite the KFC building. We unpacked and I set up the laptop while my parents when for a walk with their friends who apparently gave this room to us. (Happy Days~ ^-^) I reinstalled Windows Live Messenger for my Dad as he recently reformatted the laptop due to missing components.
At 6.30pm, I took my shower and got ready for dinner. We are heading to Starview Restaurant in New World Park with my dad's friends. Overall, the food was alright until to the point where I started scratching and such. At 9.30pm, we headed back to the hotel and back out to a coffee shop next to New World Park since my dad and his friends wanna drink beer. My dad's mouth got somewhat itchy and because of this, he ordered a bowl of Wan Than Mee. According to him, it was quite nice and springy.
Finally, we headed back to the hotel at 10.40pm and lazed around while waiting for a phone call from Aunty Audrey for some food in Acheh Port at 11.30pm. Even so, I'm currently having some stomach discomfort and my hands are quite itchy.
In the end, there isn't any phone call from Aunty Audrey. Guess its goodnight for now. Will continue posting about my visit here.

I'll be going to Penang tomorrow and will be back on Friday. Currently thinking on what to pack for the trip.. Will blog about it either when I'm there (hopefully the hotel has free internet service), in Starbucks or when I get back. Man, I'm so gonna need to lose weight after I get back!!
EMILY!!! I'M SO ENVIOUS THAT YOU MANAGE TO EAT THE CRICKETS!!!! ╥_╥
