Brats in Penang // 23-27 May

To those who didn’t even try to enroll into BRATS when you had the chance, I don’t know how to describe what you had missed. For one, there were a lot of eligible hotties there...

BRATS Penang 2008! Yay!!!!

Can see onot? You have to strain your eyes real hard, this photo is tad too small... You though all those who were qualified are nerds 24/7 with their nose stuck in books only le~ Haha, let me prove you wrong!! But show you later la, I was not there to drool over hotties... And before I stray off as usual, let me tell you - BRATS was an.amazing.experience.


Initially, I was tinny wenny bit, ok fine, VERY reluctant to join when I realize Jelly was not coming along, but my exam had just ended and I wanted so much to escape reality (read: lousy grades). And boy, sure glad I did went along...and I have no regrets!! Hey wait, scratch that, I do have regrets... I didn’t come home sunburned as I’d hope. So much for my tan. Heck, I think I’ve gotten fairer instead!! And we are supposed to be in Penang!! Where is the beach, the sun and cute lifeguards Penang’s famous food?? But nooo, our duty is to loll around in the hotel and stuff ourselves silly most of the time... 4 days is too short I say! Extend it extend it!!


Haih, I’ve absolutely no reason to criticize. All I paid was RM 120 and we were treated like VIPs - stayed in a luxurious hotel with scrumptious cheese cakes for breakie, ice-creams for lunch and caramel jellies for dinner. In the room, each toilet got hairdryer and three huge mirrors with different angle to go with it!!

See see!!

Haven’t counted the mirrors in the bedroom that reflect our shinny hair le? All in all got five, FIVE superb gigantic mirrors!!! Talking about escaping reality~ especially when you have not enough sleep like me... I most certainly wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone with low self-esteem. You can imagine them going nuts with all the mirrors around and flinging themselves out of 14th floor. Thinking about it, this would be a great story! That is what journalists are trained for, right? Huhu, and we are right at the scene somemore!! Tomorrow highlights: “bla bla bla”, by Joye... By Joye you know, your friend.


Okay okay, syok sendiri-ness must die


Anyways, the main purpose to Penang wasn’t about the hotel, nor the food (='(), rather it was the experience I would gain. Thanks to BRATS, my photo skill had improved loads..! Now I’m just waiting for the chance to prove it..hehe.. And oh, I don’t mean those camwhore poser pictures we normally take I still can't look like a supermodel, double ='(, but what I meant was more of those magic moments, that split second when the pictures truly says a thousand words. I’m getting better at that, except the only problem is...the c2pid battery!!!! It had to die at the exact wrong moment!! Throughout the camp I had to charge it, like, three times!! And the screen is too kecik!!!!! My eyes not exactly that big, you know... And it takes far too long to turn on! By that time the magical moment also pass already la, huh-yuh, takkan wait for you meh... I want a new camera!!


*whine whine whine*


Blek... I’ve probably have to wait for another year or two. I guess I have to make the best of what I have, for now. (Ahahaha, I'm so gonna pester dad...) I manage to catch some fantabulous pix with this lao ya camera... Lemme show off!!

The journey begin...

....at KL central...

Dad decided to tag along...

In the beginning we wanted to use KTM geh...

But how we know the stupid train got delayed for 2 hours...

What make us really peeve was they didn't even bother to inform us. And there we were waiting waiting like some big headed morons...



...except this guy la, he's quite cute. He was like an angel you know, with all the light shinning on him~ I curi take without permission... (**)





Basically everyone was just bored la...

Dad is not the one to stand tardiness, so he asked for refund.

Nevertheless, he still wanted to arrive in style~



No tickets!!! Yeesshh, what is wrong with this country? Competing with MAS giving free flights somemore.. You call this competing r?

End up...

Uuu~ still stylo weh...

Funnily, we did take a train...

=.='

This is absurd!! Mental note: Never ever sit KTM anymore!!!!!!!

But in the KTM counter, I saw something that touches me a lot...

An old Indian man wanted to go to Ipoh, but I think he didn't know how to read the ticket, thus he didn't know what time his train is coming. And he was freaking himself out...



...so he implore this malay guy for help... And the young man not only help him out reading the ticket...

...he also directed him to the station and help the old man carry his stuff. So wei dai!! I fell in love with him on the spot!! If he looked back, I would have send him a flying kiss. Unfortunately, he did not... Why am I not attracting the good guys?

22 May 2008 at 8:07 pm, we reached Penang!!!!

Ok la, I admit, I didn't take this photo. Only dslr can take such superb picture.

I think I shall make it into sessions... Too many photos to upload~

End of Part 1!
