My God-awful trip to Penang...

It's Saturday 19th September 2009.... It's a day before Raya.... I had to wake up at 0630hrs to send my sis to the airport then head to elaine's house to pick her up for our drive up to Penang.... For what? to attend a wedding...

So I arrived at Elaine's house at 0840hrs and we headed off... traffic was quite decent... just many cars on the road but overall quite smooth... as we passed Tg Malim we decided to turn in for some breakfast... it was about 0930hrs.... We had the all famous curry pao thanks to the trusty navigation... :) We had toast Kahwin as well with ample butter... yum!!!
and it was downhill after this.... the freeway/highway came to a standstill... yes I mean a standstill... we were crawling between 20-30 km/hr for the longest of time... the highway had some weird split which I didnt know about so we were unable to turn into Ipoh.... uurrghh... and it was already 1330.... so no lunch for us.... why oh why!! Why did I agree to attend this wedding... can you imagine... it took us almost 4 hours to arrive in Ipoh from Tg Malim... this is insane... it is probably 100++ km only....

We finally arrived in Penang at 1630hrs... after almost 8 hours of drive which usually only takes 3.5hrs.... aarrrghhh!!!!! so we had lunch at 1700hrs.... Char Kuey Teow.... elaine enjoyed it but I thot it was kinda normal... oh well....

Took a nice picture the next day heading out of Penang towards Prai for the luncheon wedding... I am sometimes amazed at my gungho-ness when it comes to frens... I keep asking Elaine why are we doing this... and she answers... "you wanted to wan ma..." so nice of her hor.... Along the journey we planned our revenge... if Elaine ever gets married she is to get married in Terengganu during Raya... better still on Lang Tengah island and make sure that Ah Hean (whose wedding we were attending) travels all the way to attend... if you know your Malaysian map well you will know that even by car on a normal traffic day it takes 10 hours to reach terengganu from Penang... muahahaha!! Imagine Hari Raya..... *gives a sly snigger*

Never ever am I doing this again..... If I ever do... give me 2 slaps on the face....
