Graduation Trip 2010

3th july

After the graduation ceremony in the afternoon, me and sara went for our final Left 4 dead game time be4 we eternally depart from sunway college^^ I rushed back after the game and began packing my stuff for a trip i thought that will be the last chance to gather with my college mates. At 8pm, i departed from home towards senai airport accompanied by my dad and sara. It has been many years since i was last in the plane, and i was actually feeling a bit nervous! hahaha! Sara laughed at me and said that it was no big deal, and he was right! But our organizer mr.adrian singh was not in a good shape during the flight, complaining about giddiness and fatigue, poor thing...haha..
We arrive in penang at about 11pm and i received the good news that germany was thrashing argentina from my brother, i was amused at the stunned faces of my friends who were supporters of argentina, they could not accept the truth that germany defeated argentina 4-0!!! XD

4th july

We paid two vans near the airport to drop us off at tune hotel. Along the way, the driver told us where we can find the local delights and also shopping malls and clubbing areas. We arrive at tunes hotel around 1am and surprisingly i was feeling energetic! But when i took a bath i felt kinda sleepy, my roommate sean felt the same so we decided to sleep and wake up early in the morning. At round 3.30am, i was rudely awakened by the ringtone on my handphone, i answered the call and it was adrian who wanted to enter my room to pester my roommate sean. I complained about the time but he said he will make it quick, i woke sean up and open my roomdoor to let them enter...which i later found out to be a bad idea!!! Adrian and the gang jumped onto my bed and made sean do a lot of hilarious stuff, and by the time there were done, it was already 5am in the morning! poor sean still can't get over the trauma and i took about 1 hour to calm him down! yawn.......

After some time of peaceful sleep, once again my phone rang, eric asked where we want to go for lunch...i was half asleep but then when i heard the word lunch!! I checked the time and OMG its almost 11! It appears that those night raiders made me waste my whole morning in penang sleeping! zzzz.... I took a quick bath and went out with sean and michael for breakfast, penang fried kuey tiao! yum yum... As we were returning to our rooms, michael, eric and jun hui invited us to head towards gurney plaza, we followed them all the way to komtar and was kinda tired of walking so me and sean decided to turn back, michael did not protest so we took a 20 min walk back to hotel! sheesh! wasted trip...and the afternoon was wasted again in starbucks and old town white coffee using the free wifi services on sean's netbook, zzz....I called the gang and found out that most of them are in gurney plaza! SHOOT! i should have followed them! bad idea to turn back huh? hahaha! They inform us that they are on their way back so we din't bother go looking for them. Instead, we took a nap in the hotel and woke up just a few minutes before they return. The guys invited us to the popular clubbing areas in town so i decided to tag along as i've never been in a night club before, am such an angel XD The place was rather deserted and according to adrian 10pm is still consider too early for clubbers to fill the place up so me and sean went for dinner in red garden. There were lots of choices of food, although those that i chose did not really suit me. Went back to the club and still no one in sight, my friends just danced among themselves and took a couple of shots of beer and i was sitting there like an idiot doing nothing, lol! They left the place soon enough trying to check out other more lively clubs but it was all in vain. Some of the girls are quite drunk and could not walk with their high heels so I who had enough of night party escorted them back to the hotel and chatted with sean and the chinese girls.


5th july

It is already 2am in the morning when i heard the news of a police raid on the club. Me and sean were laughing and asking whether it is true. Guan yan said he just managed to contact them and confirmed that they were caught up in some drug raid. Luckily for them, they only had to go through the normal procedures and got a free ride from the cops back to tunes hotel. Adrian pester us during the night and me and sean had to entertain him, lol! And there goes another sleepless night...zzzz..

I woke around around 9am because we are required to check out that morning, had brunch with sara and sean and took a walk around the streets before we embark on our journey towards hard-rock hotel. And this is where my dream ends and my nightmare began...interested to know why? read on. We waited a long time in the entrance of hard rock hotel and was wondering why did the check in consume so much time? I later found out that adrian was actually trying to smuggle us into the hotel! You know what I mean? A room for 2 was actually being filled with 8 of us! SIAO! The moment i entered the room, i had a bad feeling and thought that this was a bad idea, But i kept mum and decided to go with the flow. 25 of us fitted into 3 small rooms! Can u belive that? Adrian lied to the person in charge that there'll be only 6 of us staying and the rest are only guest, well it actually worked and we got a moment of peace from the hard-rock management. We were enjoyed the pool which were connected to our balcony and guess what? We received complains that we were causing noise pollution! can u believe that?! Now we have to enjoy the pool 'quitely' WTH! I had enough of the pool and we took turns to bath. The facilities there was kinda cool, with ps3, x-box, wii and pool table in the teens corner. I managed to enjoy some of the games before we head for gurney plaza for dinner. Adrian thought of a plan and all off us are supposed to stay out late and enter the hotel after midnight to avoid arousing any suspicion of the hard rock management. But the plan was cut short as adrian received a distress call from the chinese girls who already entered the hotel. They informed us that our rooms were opened and they knew the amount of people and luggage in the rooms, the girls had no choice but to set a time for us who is the so called 'guest' to leave the place before they throw us out! All of us lingered at the entrance of hard rock thinking of a plan, I suggested adrian to make the lie a truth and us 'guest' will leave according to what we have claimed earlier on. An idea hit adrian's mind and he entered the hotel confidently and confronted the manager. The manager was taken aback by adrian's eloquence and apologized for opening our room door without informing adrian. The chinese girls and michael stayed back and the rest of us dragged our luggage out of hard rock. We managed to catch the last bus and took it down to tropical inn.

6th july

It is past 12 midnight and we were walking aimlessly trying to look for a place called boomerang lounge. We walked and searched with our luggage with us and ended up back in the beach of hard rock!! I was seriously pissed as i was sweating and tired nearing dawn but we could not find a decent place to sleep! Damn! Adrian decided that we should just go to any budget hotel we can find and catch some sleep. I managed to catch a glimpse of a broken sign board saying boomberang and I quickly informed them. Ah finally a decent place to sleep! I thought to myself. But in the end those guys chose a room for 5 and wanted to fit 16 of us into it! zzz... the place is filthy, full of ants and it does not even have a decent bathroom! Come on man! I know its a freaking experience of a lifetime, but i din't paid so much for this! I expected some comfort duing the trip or at least a decent place to sleep and bath! I was fumed with rage and stayed wide awake until 3am. I did not utter a word for almost 2 hours, just staring and space trying to sort out my feelings. But fatigue overcame me and i dozed off on a small bed beside sean. About 8am in the morning i could hear voices near me and I woke up, its appears that kri and regina suggested that we should go back to hard rock hotel as guests and take a hot shower. Adrian who was half asleep agreed and 8 of us left for hard rock including me and the guys who stayed up the whole night continued to sleep at that shitty place. I felt refreshed after a bath in the nice toilet of hard rock and chatted with eric and jun hui until adrian arrived to check us out. The person in charge had another round of debait with adrian but adrian was in no mood of arguing and checked us out ASAP. Many of us were discontented by the treatment hard rock hotel has given us but I did not complain. We were at fault! Why should we blame the hotel? Haiz... So here we are on our way to penang airport while we met a really nice guy! regina's uncle! Wow he brought us to setia pearl islands country club and treated us with a fantastic meal! He even let us use all the facilities there, for FREE! Wow it was the first time i felt like a VIP, hahahaha! He even got the driver ready to send us back to the aiport on our next flight towards Kuala Lumpur. This is one of the fun and enjoyable moments in penang :)

We arrived at KL at about 7pm and i received a call from sean. He and the rest who took the earlier flight have already reached the 5-star nikko hotel. He told me that it was a nice place, and i was also delighted at the tone he was using when he was describing the hotel XD The rest of us took a one hour bus ride to KLCC and took a LRT to ampang and nikko hotel was just beside the LRT station. As I entered the hotel I was delighted to see such a spacious and marvelous place! This is what i call a 5-star hotel! Oh yeah! I went to my room to place my luggage before going out for dinner with adrian and the gang. Dinner indeed! They went all the way to bukit bintang just to have hokkien mee for dinner! Some of us were displeased as it was already 11pm went we arrived there. Luckily i already ate a burger in MCD when I was in KLCC if not I will be the first one complaining, LOL! It appears that they wanted to go clubbing around bukit bintang areas...zzz... I don't feel like staying with them, so do eric, sean and jun hui. So we took a taxi back to nikko hotel, took turns to bath and enjoy the comfy bed for a good night sleep.

7th july

I woke up in the morning when eric phoned me and told me he was checking out for places to eat nearby the hotel. We went down for breakfast and visited a buddist temple nearby. An odd feeling creeped up on me as I was looking at the statues there, I was wondering why they have so many gods? Eric and jun hui explained to me about buddist beliefs and I took the chance to share some stories of my own religion. Sean was away to monash university for an interview and informed us that he will be coming back soon and we were requied to meet in berjaya time square. We went over to time square before lunch time and met sean for lunch. Food in KL is more expensive compared to JB but i came to enjoy so i don't really care much about the cost. We checked out almost every corner of time square and played tekkan 5 in the arcade while waiting for sean as he was enjoying the rides in times square, ALONE...kesian, hahaha! I met up with sara and the gang and we moved to sungai wang for our dinner. We also visited The Pavilion before going back to the hotel. The shopping complexes in KL have many floors and sell much more varieties of stuff than JB. I returned to the hotel and guess what, the guys wanted to go clubbing again! WTH! Don't they get tired of it? Me, eric and jun hui decided to go check out KLCC and found out that it is actually one of the best shopping places in KL. It also has a premium toilet that requires RM2 per entry! wow! I wanted to go check it out but met the disagreement of the others so i dropped the idea. We passed by 7 eleven on our way back and bought some snacks to eat as we will we be watching football later that night. We returned back to the hotel and the guys are getting ready to leave for ZOUKS. According to them it is a very nice club in KL which is near our place. All the of guys wanted to go except for some girls who took care of xiu zi who was not feeling well. I had no choice but to follow i guess? Haiz another bad decision, we took almost half an hours trying to locate the place and asking some local on our way, but as we arrive, males have to be above age 23 and females 21 to enter, WTH! zzzz.... We persuaded the guy to let us enter and the guy reluctant agree but we must confirm that we are above 18. Kri the only one among was who is not above 18 was barred of entering so the guys decided not to enter the place. AWESOME! another wasted trip! And they wanna go to another club! Walao! Some of us returned, sean and me was feeling kinda pissed after so much time wasted on travelling. We slept for about one hour and woke up to watched the semi-finals of world cup! germany vs spain! But sadly, germany lost after a lucky goal for puyol! sheesh! stupid octopus actually predicted correctly, darn!

8th July

Breakfast at 10am eating the nasi kandar nearby. All of us waiting at nikko to decide our next step. Kharis, Kri and fiona are going back to JB by flight. Adrian and the gang along with the chinese girls and michael decided to stay for one more day, Me, sean, eric, jun hui and the rest of the indian girls travelling to bukit jalil bus station and took a bus back to JB.
