==================================================


Yes after quite a lil while, me and my mum decided we should take the kids go on holidays, we owe it to ourselves. Penang was the destination and we had 3 Targets : Bukit Merah Laketown, Taiping, and Batu Ferringhi on the Island.

I wrote every experience througout the entire time and my Digital Journal spanned up to 13 pages, (yup 13 fricking pages) filled with fun, adventure and scaffols. and here's my somewhat revised version.

=============================================

Day 1

-magnificent view along the way (passing caves, tunnels, marble quarry and beautiful mountain terrain.)

-the rooms were slightly dissapointing (small, low ameneties and deprived of astro)

-went to the Ecopark , rode the chairlift, saw various wildlife, made frens with a spider monkey, offended a goat. ( the goat tried to kill me)...

-nitefall-

-went around the market area, shopped for some stuff, got something for Laney.

-befriended the artists, shared stories and ciggs.




Day 2

-woke up late (bed was awful), went to the waterpark, pretty much the same as A-Famosa in Melaka.

-took a ferry trip to the Orang-Utan island at lake centre, saw some massive apes, (accidently nailed one of em in the head with a banana). felt really sorry....

-went to the nursery and saw baby Orang-Utans, ...so like us.... (one of em flirted with me, i think it's becoz i excrete too much hormons and adreneline....like an animal.. *roar*)

-took a ferry ride round the lake, saw the railroad in the middle of the lake, and some great lakeside houses.










(railrode spanning across the lake)

-went horseback riding with one of the trainers, showed me round the resort area.









(a mansion by the lakeside.. lucky bastard)

-went to taiping for dinner and site seeing, went to the art stand again to hangout, (i make frens easily)



Day 3

- took off towards the island, we booked a room at ParkRoyalCrownPlaza, finally a real 4 star hotel, the service, rooms, and facilities were suprisingly good.

- straightaway jumped in the pool, lounging around the poolside was great, so many tourist made it seemed like we're not in MY but rather the Carabbien.

- made frens with Ben and his dad Adam from UK, Ben is an interior designer working in Dubai, Met Mr. Tan from Kedah (we talked bout partying and funstuff to do in Thailand).

-Afternoon-

- Went Parasailing, Jetskiing and Horseback riding yet again (Parasailing was great, landing kinda scared me... cool).









(me strapped to the chute, no i dont have a better picture >.<) - Internet Rates was unbeleivable!! (RM16.50 per hour!! niama), Met Ben at the lobby, we shared files on our laptops. Made drinking plans later in the nite.

-nitefall-

- had portugese dinner, went shopping at the roadside markets, mum and me spent quite alot (the bargains and stuff was so cool). we spoilt ourselves...

- met up with Ben and Adam at the lobby and we headed to a Pub somewhere by the beachside, had quite a few to drink (a few French ladies from the hotel was there getting drunk too.. *them is real hot* ^^ )



Day 4

- woke early to enjoy the compt breakfast, the food was faboulous (i've gain a few pounds i guess), headed to lounge at the poolside to catch a swim and some rays, sun wasn't out tho.

- Ben, Adam and Mr.Tan was also there, conversations again bout pretty much everything, We stopped to oogle at the Bikini Clad French Hotties from yesterday (everybody say EYECANDY *woot woot*) . I think we all jumped into the pool for obvious reasons.

- after lunch, the family pushed off back to KL, drive back was again met with those spectacular sceneries, was so tired out upon arrival.

- homesweet home, back to reality..... =(


==================================================



Overall the holiday was great, we did so much and tarvelled to so many spots. In such a short time, i coulnt beleive we had managed to do all the fun things we did. i have no regrets..
