From what was supposed to be a proposed toilet break …

… to a durian eating fest! He who burped shan’t be named..

That is right! Barely has it been a month since the first road trip to Penang, we decided to endure the 362km of long windy road once again in return of yet another unforgettable journey! This time around, we had the same people with addition of the whole goatbrothers as part of the convoy. Oh, and how we missed you so, Brother Jit! Next time.. Next time..

After three hours of driving… The pay off!

The famous “family portrait” of Penang trip!

Having learnt the routes from the first Penang trip, we made our way to the island without hassle and Chin, who was already in Penang then led us to our stay of the trip, Stella Maris (again)! With a much bigger group, we had to rent the bungalow unit instead with three big bedrooms to accomodate all eleven of us! The place itself is so spacious and a balcony with the perfect view of the beach.. Yum!

This was where the goatbrothers conduct their “meetings” and … hibernate.

It was a tiring day after a rather long drive from ever so busy Kuala Lumpur, so we decided to retreat to our very own beach and unwound instead. Hehehe well sort of.. The guys were playing soccer beach, screaming their lungs out like retards while the girls just indulged in excessive exposure of vitamin D. And nothing beats a bloody good meal at Gurney Drive after sports! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Reminds you of a scene from the Saw trilogy, no?

It was an early day as we planned on hitting the Feringghi Beach for some water sports! We were dying to indulge in some Penang delicacy as Teng Hann, being the kind tour guide of the day who brought us to some place which serves really good Orh Chien (fried oysters with egg) and Wat Tan Hor (flat noodles with egg sauce)! So good, we wanted more but I think they were closing shop, so we adjourned to our next location for chicken rice! HOU LAN YES AH!

The chicken rice shop itself was quite a walking distance away, as being told but Teng Hann made good use of shortcut alleys that we had no idea of their existence and arrived at our destination in no time! We even passed by this club with the dodgiest name ever… Would you go there to PARTY? :D And of course, what’s a good meal without a fine dessert… CHENDOL somemore!! Daym, this food blogging must really stop cause it’s making me hungry!

The girls with the sand castle props…

… While the rest busy playing volleyball…

…And Vincent spying on foreign chicks! Looked like PIN TAI LOU! HAHAHAHAHA!

HahAHhaHAhaHA pardon the erm… anti-climax by the way. So it was the usual beach outing with lots of sunshine absorbed and salty sea water consumed through my nose. Cough cough.. Thank goodness the weather was perfect, sipping on ice cold beer and listening to favourite trance anthems on my PSP as we lied down by the beach. HOU LAN YES AH!

The ladies who never seem to shy away from the cameras!

Then there were the ones who shamelessly asked me to take picture of.

This picture never fails to crack me up. Some real Kodak moments.

Not all guys are always that manly.. Eugene and Vincent make a good couple, IMO.

Can I hear you people say, “AWWWWWWWW!” Joel playing sand castle all by himself..

Some thought they’d get away from their scandalous acts while everyone else was busy..

It’s fun to stay at the …. WHYYYYY-AMMMMM-SEEEE-EHHHH??

The blokes. Some available, some not. Please inquire within!

The ladies. SORRY, ALL NOT AVAILABLE! NO FURTHER QUESTIONS WELCOMED!

The Penang convoy. The ones who made this trip a very much enjoyable one!

And so came the night. William brought us to a place which reminded me much of our very own SS2 Wai Sik Kai but obviously, the food served was much better! Like hello? You’re stuffing yourself silly with food originated from the very same place itself! Everyone was too busy eating to even take pictures of our silly faces. Yums!

The mandatory picture of the Raining Trio!

ANCHOR STRONG! Where is my AH MAH LENG THONG!?

With only hours remaining till the next day we drive home, some probably thought they were spared from drinking after an initial proposal from one of the godbrothers. Boy, were they wrong cause the godbrothers came with almost a carton of beer! The very same night we were taught the “traditional” method of drinking off the bowl, hence the AH MAH LENG THONG (mommy’s great homemade soup).

Surely did sound like an easy task, but NO! As soon as your lips touches the bowl, that’s when you are suppose to GULP DOWN the whole bowl of beer in ONE single attempt! There’s no running away or second attempt, else fear the deadly wrath of the godbrothers with much worse tormenting drinking games. HOU LAN YES AH!

The last day actually came too soon and we weren’t ready to bid farewell for the second time in such a short time. William brought us to the nearby food court for one last time of sinful indulgence before taking the ferry back to the mainland. Hehehehe jakuns, we are.

I can firmly say that this Penang trip has got to be the BEST, ever! Probably for a very long time. Times like these make me realize how blessed I am having surrounded by such beautiful friends. Thank you so much for the kind hospitality, William and also the godbrothers! Couldn’t have asked for more! And what a PERFECT company I was together with throughout the trip.

Pardon me but I’m currently listening to Oceanlab’s debut album and this very particular track Ashes is making me feeling all emo! *Sob sob* Beautiful album indeed, just as expected from my trio idol, Above & Beyond!

So, that’s it! Another chapter closed! Penang, we shall come again this end year!!

THANK YOU! ALWAYS WILL BE DAMN HOU LAN YES AH! VERY THE ENJOYS!
