okay, that's a lie. i came back on wednesday actually, but im only updating now. wonder why? just read my title. haha

so this post is gonna be a wee bit long, so bear with me. after all, i do have to tell abt all the wonderful things that happened in Penang right?

so lets start from the first day.

ANYWAY, we reached our hostel and went to our room. my roomies were Suki and Natasha, but Trishi joined us later. the room was suprisingly cool okay. minus the fact of the billion ants, but other than that it was really quaint and cute. def worth waaayyy more than the rm 15 that we paid for one night. so we went to the batu feringhi night market, and we went crazy there. so many things for so cheap. i bought like a ton of dvd's but it was nothing compared to what natasha and suki bought. haha

we spent a lot of time on the bus that day, but it was fun bonding with all the people there. sinc only 17 of us went, we pretty much had the freedom to plan whatever we wanted to do that trip and we could go there without the teachers behind us all the time. cool eh? the bus was quite empty too, so we could walk around the bus, and it wouldnt matter.

we left early in the morning, considering we only slept like at 2 bcoz of all of the games and talking. :)

first we went to the kek lok si temple which was like filled with many awesome statues. later we were brought to another 2 temples. but some of us didnt want to go to another temple, so we like walked to gurney plaza by ourselves. that was scary, considering the major traffic and scary dudes staring at us. but i gotta admit that time was one of the highlights of the trips. we felt so independent, walking alone to this place and finding out ourselves how to get there. i bet when we think abt that part, we're sure gonna laugh.

with following the random white dude, taekwondo classes and our mother's clothes drying, it was really so funnay.

and we really need to get a degree in road crossing, bcoz most of us have a serious problem with that. we wait at the side for like 10 minutes, then run screaming across like mad people. haha.

good times, good times.

oh, and lunch was funny too. we went to this cafe, and got served by this totally blonde waiter okay. like he didnt even know what he was serving, he had to ask his friend. i think his friend heard us laughing abt blondie, and they weren't very happy with us i guess. oh well. :P

later we went to P. Ramlee's house and we met his best friend. that was cool.

night time was really FUN. like 9 ppl bunked out at our room, not including the three of us. we put all the mattresses on the floor and just slept there. but not like we slept much, i slept abt 3, but others slept at 4. they stayed up to played pranks, but in the end they ended spooked up themselves and was so scared.i remember waking up at that time, but i had no sympathy since i was still only half awake. haha, sorry.

we went to fort cornwallis and to little india that day.

the bus ride home was like super long okay. did many things to occupy ourselves, major bonding time :D

reached back only at 9 pm. i pity the teachers since they actually had to go to school tomoro. hmm.

so basically i had the time of my life in penang. i would rank it in my top three camp list. it wasnt so much the visiting places that was good, but i truly cherish those random moments with my friends which i wouldn't trade for anything. :)

from suki planning her wedding with joe jonas at the fishing village to singing along with the HSM 3 songs that natasha brought, i'll really miss that camp.

oh, since im too lazy to upload, just check out the pics on facebook.

and just one pic to leave with you guys before i go. bcoz i just gotta have a pic right? haha.

ciao :D
