Hibernation

HUIYO back from blogging hibernation!!! Don’t be curious what I do everyday, because I don’t even know… :(

Alright, most of the time spent is for Grand fantasia the other half is for Restaurant City… I’d be lucky to go out and do some other constructive and healthy activities.

Here’s a little (name unknown) bird.

We’re very lucky because it just popped out of no where in the bushes…and there it stood, quietly…in such close proximity that we couldn’t afford not to take some real cool pictures of it.

…and we tip-toed…shhhhh         >=(

AH DARN IT! And it flew away…hahaha

There are more actually can’t post them all.

WOHOO new toy…:D

Paid RM850 for the whole set because the dumb dumb battery costs 170 bucks but it’s able to last for an hour or so while RM50 battery lasts 15 minutes LOL. Uh huh…didn’t quite manage to squeeze much of a bargain out of it though…he was too NICE to give me a lame battery charger which costs RM60 for FREEEEEEE…now nothing is free in this world. Oh wait not to mention new rechargeable AA batteries which costs another RM110 :O amounting to a staggering RM960…just for this little toy uh huh :D

(wohoo look how small it is… :P)

This is the TAMIYA version which is much more reliable than other China made brands of course, considering it’s pricey price tag. Once you buy one of these you’ll start having headaches on how to continue maintaining it. :( Come to think of it cameras are even harder to maintain…

Higher grade ais kacang…on RM4.90 each. WITH a free extra topping till next month. It’s tasty of course and it’s our favourite dessert. They can be easily found at your local 100Yen shop OR in 1st Avenue. Speaking of 1st Avenue…it’s still kinda empty for the time being. Skechers is there OH YEAH…must try their shoes…they’re pricey of course. Besides that, there’s a new Cineplex in town called TGV…uh huh uh huh…Compared to GSC it has a pretty pricey price tag on it especially their snacks…tsk tsk tsk. Not quite the Penangnites’ favourite kind of thing isn’t it? We are cheapo people who buys cheapo things and I’m proud of that… I’m part cheap anyway… :D

There’s actually a very good reason why bricks, I mean BREEKS isn’t in my to-eat list.

Even roadside hawkers cook better food. CHEH.

Went to Pantai Kerachut the other day. ZH bravely drove through the treacherous mountain roads, battling the narrow and winding course and finally…we reached Taman Negara Pulau Pinang…but of course you could catch a bus which is easier… :P

Pantai Kerachut is a secluded beach right in a quiet corner of Penang island. It sits in the protected area gazetted as one of Malaysia’s SMALLEST TINIEST, wait it’s the WORLD’S SMALLEST National Park in the world…I repeated the word world to add emphasis.

There is nothing here but lush green scenery. If you’re lucky, you’ll find squirrels…maybe snakes…and monkeys.

Wohooo…after enduring an hour plus of walking we finally reached our destination.

I had around 60 pictures of the same scene but with different splashes…this is the one I like most but the horizon…sikit senget dah :(

DSC_8787

Thanks to my ingenuity and past experience, I decided to get up early to buy sufficient stock for the short hike to Pantai Kerachut. As I expected…we actually did need the extra source of carbohydrates afterwards. Because of the beautiful scenery we totally forgotten about the rumbling tummy until suddenly…oops we’re hungry. We had bread and Rocky with 100Plus…

WHOOOSSH! SPLASHSSS!!!

Can you imagine how strong the waves are and I’m standing right in it…???

Those who want to come here by boat…please be informed that the rental PER BOAT is RM100 :O They don’t do head counts. Because of such insanity, four of us decided to just use our legs and hiked all the way back to the car. The journey is only 3km or so…that’s 6km to and fro. After all the walking and sweating…we decided to eat something to compensate for such a healthy ordeal…zh decided to take us for Indian food. Well known for it’s oily briyani rice and hot curry…we dared our taste buds and put our livers to the challenge to produce enough bile to destroy their evil nemesis~~~ LIPIDS!!(oh btw I f***ing have high cholesterol) The food was not at all ultimately very extremely tasty but the brain tricked us into thinking otherwise because of the minor starvation we had for the past 5 hours. This fancy Indian restaurant can be found opposite Paradise Hotel and Flamingo Hotel.
