Roll over Obama land, the summer no longer belongs to you. We are doing it the Malaysian way. For now.
When I came back from The States, I seriously can’t wait to go on another short trip with this group of friends. After much thought, we decided to drive up North to Penang and along the way we stopped by Ipoh for a family visit. It has been a long time since I last saw Penang; my last visit was at the age of 8-12 years old.
It has been said that eating along the roadside or hawker stalls is the actual Malaysian experience and it represent the local's character. Of course, Wikipedia and Yahoo travel did not prepare me for such experience. Penang is a city for exotic traditional food such as loh pak (some fried food), chow keoy teow, oh-jian (fried oyster with egg), chu-zap-zhou (pig intestine porridge) and many more. (Correct me if I am wrong.) It was all so vintage; completely unlike Selangor. It was surprising.
I knew I was in good hands; the host T-yee was absolutely fantastic. I greatly enjoyed the food, the company, and the scenery. The friends I travelled with, do you really need to ask? Damn, they are the best. What more could I ask for.
I consider myself a lucky person to have friends like them; who can some how tolerate my spoiled child syndrome. I couldn't’t bear to recount the details - temper tantrums, lack of consideration for other people, demands for having one's own way and etc.
In short, this trip was suppose to just eat-sleep and relax trip. I don’t remember how this group manage to talk me into eating at the roadside (don’t get me wrong, it was good food!), climbing up hill to a temple filled with red scary lights- at night, going to another temple the next day, talking for an hour and more about how “Scary” is scary. It was challenging and memorable.
Trust me, tell 10 of my friends especially my best friends. “Emily Ho went to the temple during her road trip.” I swear everyone will be like Felix- turns his head to the left, walk closer and bangs his head on the glass with evil laughter. Everyone will shake their heads in disbelief and laugh even harder. Even my mother was shocked over the phone, “Harh!? Where are you again?.. Good, go pray more.” – this is true.
Enough of my ramblings, enjoy the photos.
P/s. Felix Chung ditched us for Starbucks.
Till then, xoxo
My grandfather is the world most traditional man who believes in - a big NO-NO for tattoo or piercing. I survived so did Darrell. My mum called us champions, even she can't get away from her father like how we did.
This is the many reasons why I love my parents.
