21:36 Departed from home to Larkin Terminal Bus Station.
22:00 Waited for a friend who was not attending the wedding banquet to pass the present to my roommate.
22:20 Friend reached and passed the present to me. What the hell the present was quite big but on the phone you said that it's a small present?! Give angpao la bro! Friend felt awkward maybe, so he waited the bus together with me.
22:30 Supposed to depart at this time but the bus wasn't coming yet. I prayed for the bus to delay because I didn't want to reach Penang at 6:30-7:00am! Dare not to wake my friend in Penang up around this hour!
23:30 Friend left first because he had to work on the next day.
00:00 Bus arrived. Nice delay, but tired waiting. But it's okay, can start sleeping.
00:15 Bus departed. Felt like gastric coming again so I ate half of a burger. Slept after eating.
03:00 Reached Seremban R&R. Went for toilet and flexed my joints. The road was wet. It rained before. Chilling night.
07:00 Reached Taiping. Finished the remaining burger.
08:20 Morning called my friend to standby to fetch me at Sg Nibong Bus Station.
08:55 Reached Sg Nibong Bus Station. It's a small bus station, smaller than Masai Bus Station. Friend picked me up from here.
09:10 Breakfast at Maxim Dimsum Restaurant. Followed initial plan. There's only two of us. I sat down and waited for my friend to pick the food. Did not finish all because I'm a small eater. My treat, as a token of gratitude for fetching me and being my tour guide.
10:00 Toured USM one round.
10:30 Toured Georgetown. Walked around the heritage area. Visited a temple. Took photos with the mural. Ate cendol. Wanted to visit the Blue Mansion but it was closed. Visited the Chocolate & Coffee Museum.
14:30 Legs pain after walking nonstop for hours! In fact my friend kept asking, "Are you tired? Can you still walk?" and I said, "No..." (Call me 憋王/Tahan King!) Looked for a place to have lunch. It started to rain once we get into the car. Thank God!
15:30 Had a plate of fried kuey teow. RM10 per plate, with three prawns, quite spicy. Friend said it's not the best one (the best one was closed on that day) but I think it's okay. Nobody came and asked us for drinks so we quickly finished the food and find a next stop for beverage. :/
16:15 Went to China House for coffee. There were crayons and papers to draw on the table. I ordered a cup of hot mocha and my friend ordered a weird taste herbal tea. Friend suddenly asked for my birth date and started to tell my fortune. He used the crayon and wrote some numbers on the table and talked to me about my personalities and my fortune. Interesting topic to kill some time before my other coursemates join too.
18:00 Coursemates started to join one by one. Had dinner together but I ate very little because I wasn't feel well. Went toilet for a few times and finally felt better after some time.
22:30 Went for a walk at somewhere else. I'm not sure where the place was, but it's a jetty.
00:00 Chuan was hungry because he didn't have his dinner. Supper at KFC. I just had a piece of cheesy wedges only.
00:45 Goodbye Chuan and KS! (Why two of them only? Because they didn't join the gathering on next day)
01:00 Me and Joy will stay at Spring's house. No door to go in because one of the keys was not with her! Oh no!!! Gotta wait for her dad to come back home... Slept inside her car for a while while waiting her dad.
02:00 Took shower and zZZ
08:00 Woke up
08:30 Departed from Spring's house to Georgetown area
09:00 Met up with YK from mainland. Hardly searched any parking lots. Went to Komtar Walk while waiting for HK the tourist guide. (YK & Spring weren't familiar with the place lol)
10:00 Had breakfast together and then walked at their pasar pagi. Breakfast sponsored by Spring's dad, who gave her RM50 last night. Arigato~
11:00 Headed to Queensbay to meet up with JP.
12:00 Sing K at Neway. I didn't sing much as usual. JP asked me, "You came to hold the mic only is it?" I said, "I did sing two songs earlier ah." Then she replied, "Ooh...原来那是你最后一首歌啊……" Lol...
15:20 Bye bye JP & YK! We had to rush back home to prepare to go to mainland for the wedding banquet! Friend said it started at 18:00! (I didn't check, I just followed them, in the end after I came back to Johor I checked and found out it was at 19:00 actually ==) But I still asked HK to fetch me to buy some tau sar piah to bring home, if not there is no time to buy already.
16:30 Reached Spring's home. Frantically, rushed to the bathroom and took shower. Actually, for me there's enough time as I did not intend to do some makeup. However, Spring helped me makeup in the end. My face was sour after the makeup actually. And I think they knew as they kept console me and said sometimes I need to have a change... but I still hardly accept my new look.
18:00 Rushed to HK's house as he will be fetching us to the wedding banquet. Only me, Joy & HK was invited. Sorry bro for waiting for so long! Bye Spring!
18:45 Reached Ixora Hotel. Finally met my roommate! Yes, the purpose of coming here! (Although much time spent with coursemates here lol!) Took photos. Had a small talk with other UKM friends. Wanted to approach roommate's mom but she was busy talking to other aunties. HK forced me to go and say hello to auntie. In the end, I found the right time to talk to auntie. So happy that auntie still remembers me. Suddenly HK joined the conversation and simply told auntie that I bullied my roommate last time! How dare you accused me HK! Argh!
20:00 The banquet started. The dishes were okay for me, but as usual I didn't eat much. Took some photos but I was still annoyed about my makeup and hairstyle. Made me felt uncomfortable throughout the banquet! Haiz... And HK thought I was angry with him lol...
22:30 The banquet was over. Informed my roommate that I will be staying at the homestay that she prepared for me and reconfirmed with her that she will be fetching me to the bus station the next morning. Initially, Joy and me were supposed to stay at different places. But I will be staying with Joy to accompany her.
23:00 HK fetched us to the homestay. Bye HK! Removed the makeup and took shower. Had a pillow talk with Joy and found out some interesting stories... About the misunderstanding between YK's gf and her... Haha... haha... haha... So dramatic ==
02:00 zZZ
07:30 Woke up
08:30 Breakfast provided by Joy. Thanks for the nescafe and the tau sar piah!
09:00 Bye bye Joy! Now left me alone at the homestay. Waited for my roommate to fetch me.
09:55 Roommate arrived and fetched me to Butterworth Bus Station.
10:20 Reached the bus station. Roommate waited inside the car since she's driving. Bye roommate! QW walked me to the bus. Bye little QW! Goodbye all!
Highlights:
Why did I attend my roommate's wedding?
Because she informed me during her ROM and I couldn't attend at that time. So this time I definitely must go, thinking that she must be very happy. And yes, she was! ;)
Any worries before going to Penang?
Definitely. Too many things to be worried about. Especially I'm traveling alone.
Travel by plane or by bus?
Had been arguing with HK with this. He asked me to travel by plane. But after considering the other factors like time & cost, I chose to travel by bus.
Who will be fetching me when I reach Penang?
HK said, "Just come la! Leave everything to us!" But I was still skeptical. Lol! 人与人之间缺的就是信任... Haha... In the end, he did fetch me and accompanied me for the two whole days. A bit awkward and easily cause some misunderstanding too.
The wedding banquet was on Sunday night, so what should I do on Saturday till Sunday evening?
HK the tourist guide settled this all! Other coursemates had also participated! Thank you all!
Roommate had prepared homestay for me. But who are the other housemates?
The other housemates were all her coursemates. We are just acquaintances... So in the end I stayed with my coursemate Joy, better.
Ok. That's all for my PP Trip. Really thank God for everything.
It's so difficult to blog with a phone. I need a laptop lol.
