it's the last day of work today! and tomorrow i get to go thailand! happy happy joy joy i'm going to thailand to buy an elephant and a whore!
i used to want to go backpacking in thailand but my mother wouldn't let me because she was afraid that it was too dangerous. also nobody else wanted to come with me and i had no money either.
penang was cool. the beach was so great. the buses that took farah, constance, josephine and moi to penang and back were surprisingly comfy but the trip took forever. i thought penang was like only an hour away from kl but it turned out to be at least 3-4 instead. duh brain moi. farah and i went jet-skiing and it was so cool. i saw these huge pink jellyfish in the ocean! unfortunately our hotel was on the bay and way on the other side of the ocean from town so we couldn't get a taxi to take us into town at nite to go clubbing and the strip of shops near our hotel had just one "kind-of" club which was completely devoid of ppl. we stepped into the place and immediately went, "oh my god, this place is too happening. so happening we just have to get out of here." hahah!
so what we did was to take our vodka (i had gotten a bottle of absolute vodka duty free courtesey of john paul, the only pope i ever know who is also an amateur bartender :) and farah had also brought along half a bottle of vodka so we weren't exactly destitute at night) to the poolside by the hotel. the last thing i remember was downing my third glass of vodka and the rest of that night was in bits and pieces. woke up the next morning to find that i had puked on the carpet by constance's bed, was sleeping in an armchair because i had apparently refused to sleep in the bed, and had called like half a dozen people on my handphone to either insult them or tell them i love them. according to constance and josephine, farah and i had been shouting by the poolside all night long, scaring other hotelgoers passing by, and we had thrown our drinks into the pool. farah woke up to find her entire bed wet and to discover she had spent the whole night going in and out of the shower in various outfits so her entire wardrobe was dripping wet. and somehow she had a cut lip and jaw and bruises all over from beating herself up! and according to constance, apparently i had shepherded her and josephine into our hotel room by brandishing one of my knives at them and had also pushed her into the pool before running away when the security guard came (the pool's off-limits at nite). checked the vodka bottles the next day and discovered that we had each downed at least a minimum of ten shots each except for josephine who doesn't drink (thank god or there would be no one to tell us what had happened the next day). i don't think the hotel housekeeping likes us very much anymore. farah and i were so out of it the next morning that we ended up going down to the hotel lobby and spending rm38 each on a lousy buffet breakfast which turned out to be a real waste of money but definitely keep us from feeling too nauseous. we spend the rest of that day visiting all the temples in penang (repenting for the night before hahah) and taking pictures of ourselves in weird poses in front of all the huge buddhas and fierce monster statues. a lot of religious old ladies glared at us. i also wasted a lot of small change on the prosperity and happiness bowls and most of them ended up in the fountain anyway.
all in all penang was pretty fun. too much of a small town for me to live in but for a holiday it was pretty fun. and the food was great, especially the prawn noodles and the kuay teoh, before i threw it all up over the hotel carpet. :0 will definitely come back one day when i have more money and will definitely stay in the city so that we can go clubbing next time. but for now i am practically peniless!!!
