A Trip to Penang- Day 1- Part 1

I decided to describe this lame trip that i had few weeks ago since i was bored and intended to type something very eagerly. This post might break the record for being the longest post ever in my blog. So, be prepared to suffer the confusion, lol. Sorry for the crappy quality for the photos given, i utilized my mobile phone to shoot. Day 1 is separated into 2 parts.

Insomnia

-----------------
It took me some times before I had finally finished packing my stuff for the 3 days 2 nights trip to my hometown, Penang, the second smallest state in Malaysia after Perlis. Actually, it didn’t really consider as a trip to me since I had visited this state for countless times and eventually get bored of it. Moreover, I was born in Penang and used to stay there for about two years in 2006 and 2007. I don’t exactly know what the main purpose was for going back there, though. In addition, one of my classmates, Nishallini, also went to Penang to attend her relative’s wedding ceremony on the same day as me, lol.

It was night time when we officially embarking on a journey to Penang, I couldn’t attempt almost everything in the car under the moonlight. All I did was sms-ing with Nisha and Nina; it was an incredible boring journey if you asked me. But thanks to my eldest brother, Daniel, who drove in great speed which only took us 4 hours to reach there.

Once there, it was already one in the morning. That was the time where my luck started to fade off. Our original plan was to stay in my grandma’s (the one that staying in Sg. Long) second house which took place in Tambun. Unfortunately, we couldn’t unlock the main door due to the lock had some sort of problem that we couldn’t rotate the key. So, my mom suggested that we should stay at one of our relative’s house and come back and try again by tomorrow.

I wasn’t really pleased when I heard this idea as I disliked staying at my Penang relative’s house. In truthfully, I DISLIKED them. At first, my mom tried to contact my 6th grandaunt since their house was the nearest from where we were. Somehow, none of them answer the phone. So, my father contacted his only younger brother. Unfortunately, his son’s friends beat us first. Later, my mom managed to contact my 4th grandaunt and eventually found a place for us to rest for a day.

It might sound like good news, but…. my 4th grandaunt’s house was a flat, which seemed like a small room for hamster. There was only one room provided, another one was belonged to my grandaunt and her husband. We got no choice but half of us required to sleep in the living room on the couch. My mom, Daniel and his girlfriend, whom I referred her as Ah Ying, slept in the room while Dennis (my elder brother), my father and I slept on the couch. For some reason, I’m the only one who couldn’t get my eyes closed. So, I grabbed out Nina’s novel that she borrowed me in school and intending to finish it by that night.

Hours later, it was already five in the morning, and my eyes were finally ready to shut down. Haplessly, the mosque nearby the flats started to alarm the Muslim prayers, caused me unable to sleep at all. I pulled myself up from the couch and decided to wait till the sun rises up. During that time, both of my parents and my uncle had woke up.
