Backpacking with crazy freaks – Day 1.1

Hey guys, I am back. Whenever I look through people’s awesome pictures and some graphic designing pics, I feel really great ^^

Ok, stop the crap. Let’s resume my day 1 journey of backpacking. Note that all of the pictures displayed here are without any editing work done. Sorry if any of the pic is not in good exposure.

p/s: the piled pictures are very unclear here. If wanna see a better view of the pics, feel free to view the album.

IMG_4265Well, once we reached Butterworth, we headed to a mamak stall to have FOOD. Our breakfast was Malay food and everywhere around us was dark and quiet. Why? It was 5a.m. in the morning lar, dude.

After finish eating, we headed to the ferry terminal and guess what we were the earliest passengers for the day. lolz.

IMG_4268 Once we were at PP, we took a bus to “forgotten_what’s_the_street_name” to find accommodation. The street was damn quiet and we were walking in dark aimlessly. Besides, we saw some “CHICKENS n orang yg gatal” mumbling beside the street. Oh gosh, we walked past a damn creepy Chinese style punya guest house. No doubt that it was a haunted house @_@

We walked walked walked and walked…………

finally we found a “nice looking + reasonable” guest house at the love lane road. Why is it call love lane? Tell u later.

Well guys, to all wanna be backpackers, pls don’t assume that backpackers lodge would be always dirty, no air-cond, many chickens and bla bla bla.

We were fortunate to stay in SD Guest House because the place was well handled and clean. We took the triple air conditioned room and guess what, we have to pay RM15 RM65 per person only. Damn cheapkan?

After unloading our stuffs, we cari makan again. There were lots of people in almost every food shop especially old folks. I love that kind of feelings whereby “togetherness” came into my mind instantly.

We had an awesome dim sum breakfast at a reasonable price ^^IMG_4296

The morning street of PP. Lovely, isn’t it?

So, what’s next?

IMG_4297Map was a crucial tool for us. Around 930a.m, we headed to “Names’ Jetty” to have a look. We went to “陈、周姓”housing area.

Ewww, there was one pic depicting how they manage their waste. Really eyesore when seeing the tourists who walked in felt disgust with it >.<

You see how INN their toilet was. Someone had used it and hopefully the fish in the sea were still alive.

IMG_4334

We sendiri request for a boat ride to the place where fishermen used to catch fish.

IMG_4370Yea, we saw the Penang bridge from far ^^

Once we reached near the place, the fierce dogs kept barking on us =.=’’’ Thanks GOD they can’t swim. Wait a minute, who knows? They were capable on roaming around the platform yang berlubang-lubang.

Since the fisherman has done a great job, we offered him RM20.

After that, we headed to the town to have asam laksa. Well, till now, we can’t find the most delicious asam laksa’s location cos we really did not know which one mar.

Penang Hill punya Asia Cafe ^^IMG_4395

IMG_4396While waiting for the stall to open, we went to an ice-cream shop to have some yummy ice-cream ^^

Oh no, after eating the “mar mar asam laska” someone’s perut terbuncit pulak.

After that, we headed to bus station and continue our journey up to the hill to somewhere lor.

Hey yo, don’t ever underestimate the kehebatan of the popo. I was sitting beside her and she kept talking with me in HOKKIEN. OK lar, I admit that I just know Hokkien sikit-sikit, so I have no idea what she was talking about. Ying more xia sui. She was a hokkien nang yet did not really know about the language. haha.

The popo kept talking with me. Then she talked about her children thinggy, I replied her in Mandarin after got help from another passenger >.< Not really sure that she understood what I was saying or not. Hence, I talked with her in Cantonese. I was amazed that she knew that language and started to converse in Cantonese. Then, the conductor came and wanna us to show him the tickets.

Wasai, the popo Malay pun sibeh boleh. She could speak fluently without any ahhhhh ohhhhh ehhhhhh. I was astonished and ok lor, saya bertutur dalam BM with her later on. The 2 fella kept on laughing like no one business =.= wtf

_______________________________________

We were lost when we reached our so called destination. Rupa-rupanya we took the wrong bus. But no worries, we jalan sini and sana ask for directions. In the end we took a taxi and went to lagi up up hill. We were quite lucky to get a “bersopan-santun and beriman” driver.

In order to go to the butterfly farm, we got to drive pass a very freaking winding road whereby NO BUS was allowed to access. Along the freaking road, I was very headache. However, we did see lots of beautiful scenery from the top and of course not to forget the “wonderful” kampung houses. Eh, Negeri Sembilan pun adalah. swt. Wait a minute. Then how are we going down after that? Aiya, main dululah, later baru think.

We drove past a hugh dam with scenic view ^^

The butterflies farm which was located far-fetched from the town

Yes, we did like butterflies. However, we felt geli when the butterflies flied everywhere as who knows when would you step on it or it would give you a big kiss suddenly?

Well, when we came out from the lovely farm. We were stuck as there would be no bus nor taxis because none of them were allowed to be there unless you hire a taxi driver. lolz.IMG_4498

Well, no worries. At first, we showed our hitch hiking sign towards any car coming from a blind spot area. To no avail, we stood there like statues waiting for “baik hati” citizens to fetch us down. If it was around 1km we can walk lar but the problem was we were not so sure how far from there.

A great Malay couple willing to fetch us down. So good of them. Excuse me, had we interrupted your sweet sweet short moment? lolz. Anyhow, our first so called hitch hiked attempt was succeeded. wohoo

After that,

here come BATU FERRINGGI. Well if you came from the farm, just descend from the hill and you would reach there.

We love beach, aren’t we?

I shall end here for the time being. This one day journey hasn’t come to an end yet. Guess what had happened to us while we were at Batu Ferringgi? Good or bad? Each pic below did convey a certain meaning. Stay tune to know more. Cioz

always appreciate what you have
