A Trip to Penang- Day 1- Part 2

Relatives Visiting

------------------------------

Together we went out for breakfast along with Dennis at eight in the morning. We returned to the restaurant where we used to eat back to 2006 and 2007. The service was sucks as ittook them so long to notice that we haven’t ordered any drinks. Besides that, some of them had no manners too. We ate a few plates of simple dim sum and other foods like Curry Noodle and Chicken Rice. My mom bought two packets of Wan Tan Mee for the sleeping couple at home while my uncle bought Kue Tiao Soup for my grandaunt whom suffering from illness.

Once we were back, the youngsters like me mustered around in the room to discuss where we should go after we had wash up, still, we currently had no special plan. Then my father said that we should visit his younger brother and his family in Chai Leng Park, and my face was like “nooooo!” because I hated their sons who were my cousins.

(My father was the owner of this house before he officially soldit to his younger brother once my grandfather passed away, lots of dramas occured)

It didn’t take long when we reached their house since it only 3km far from my 4th grandaunt’s house. Daniel and my parents introduced some places to Ah Ying such as the places where my brothers used to visit when they were kids before I was born; it was quite annoying, though. We got a “warm welcomed” from my cousins and aunt. As I stood in the house, there was a huge television placed near from the main door, and Inoticed that there was a slim version of PS2 resting on the floor. There was another smaller sized television placed on the opposite side beside thecomputer. And two sets of cushions placed between them, each facing at one TVs. The whole setting looked like an airport ==


It just passed five minutes and I already got bored and irritating cause my parents chatted with my uncle and aunt in high volume. Plus, their sons were like a wild animal where they screamed and running around the house for nothing. Luckily, there were numerous Doraemon comic books for me to read. Soon later, we were planning to cross over the infamous Penang Bridged to the Penang Island. But the plan was cut off and delayed because my parents received an unpleasant news that my father’s uncle suffering from nose cancer which caused his eyes went blind.


So, we proceeded to his house at Kulim along with both of my uncle and aunt. Weird, wasn’t this supposed to be a trip? How come it turned to family visiting? His house was nice, but a little empty that you could produce encore whenever you speak. His daughter and granddaughter were there too, making the house looked like a minor party. It seemed that our main character was my father’s blinded uncle. But for some reasons, the main character suddenly switched to a place in Cameron Highlands where they talked about their plan to Cameron Highlands during the next Chinese New Year.

(The man in white shirt is the patient)

It was noon when my parents decided to leave and have lunch with my uncle and aunt. We went to the nearby famous Duck Rice restaurant where we ate Duck Rice (duh). My father described the restaurant as “famous”, supposedly the Duck Rice must be delicious, but I tasted nothing special, literally nothing special. After that, we returned to Chai Leng Park and the “Concert” back to live again, so freaking noisy ==

I didn’t know how much times had flied away since I fell asleep as my brothers and Ah Ying were reading comics and my parents… you know, having a concert with my uncle and aunt. My cousins went out for tuition except the eldest one, who had dropped out from school and went out for work at a shopping mall called “Pacific” since then.

Eventually, my parents stood up and decided to leave (I’m gonna thanks Jesus for that). We went to my eldest grandaunt’s house which just across the street at the back. And I continued exploring my dream world as my parents had another concert with my grandaunt. Fortunately, the visit was shorter than the previous ones and we off to Bukit Mertajam for lunch number 2.

Our lunch number 2 was the infamous Asam Laksa, ABC, Hokkien Mee, Fried Mee and Curry Mee. Trust me; if you’re not a big fan of spicy food, Penang is not a tea of cup for you. Although the weather was quite warm, but nothing could stop me from filling my stomach with these spicy noodles, lol. Being as a normal girl, Ah Ying said that she guarantee will gain lots of weight from these unstoppable meals.

Our final stop was at my 6th grandaunt’s house which just located near my old secondary school, SMKBBSL. Similar to the prior visits, boring as hell, the only persons that actually enjoyed was my parents. Later on, we returned to Tambun intended to unlock the door as we failed the task last night, still, no luck with us and eventually gave up. We spent the remaining evening napping at the flat where we lived last night. I was so frustrated that why we had to end up like this? Simultaneously, I missed KL and my friends, acted like I got trapped in another world…

The sun had already sunk down to the west when I finally woke up from napping. Since we unable to unlock the house where we supposedly sleep in our original plan, my father decided to spend the remaining days at his younger brother’s house. That was the time when I felt like wanna commit suicide. I kept complaining that I shouldn’t come. Why Wen Sern, Why? Why you didn’t inform me that you only went to Melaka for one day?! D:

Before we officially moved to their house, my brother brought us to the shopping mall that I mentioned earlier, Pacific. Apparently, the shopping mall looked like an indoor night market to me. It was as confuse as Sg. Wang. That’s why we off to dinner after 45 minutes of wandering around aimlessly. We went to a restaurant which used to be a cinema back to my parents’ period. We ate lots of foods that I couldn’t recall their names. Well, just view the pictures below which already forward the message.

Since there was no any other activity that we could perform as it was already quite late, we revisited my uncle, aunt and my cousins. Luckily, we were sent to an aircond room where it used to belong to my late grandfather who had passed away when I was Standard 6. Because of that, all of my family members had gone to bed except for me and my cousins. Forgot to mention, I brought my Xbox with me as well. So, we played “Ninja Turtle” in 3 players before I gone to bed.
