The recent trip back to Penang made me recall why i Love penang so =)
here goes~
1. the FOOD!
goodness, those hawker stalls(not. centre)/kopitiam/etc are available at all hours all around the island.!! beef noodles, chee cheong fun, hokkien mee, lok-lok[this is seriously cheap & good!! none of the sticks are more than rm1! & its tasty xD], 'che hu' etc.. AND its cheap. *floats with happiness*
well, not to say we doesnt have it here in KL/Selangor, its just that over here hawker foods are just not so popular and are usually suck-y...
AND!! have you ever seen any kopitiam that sells mixe rice with pork dishes at one side and nasi melayu at the other? i'm not joking, they have this in penang, all in one kopitiam. FREAKING COOL isnt it?? xD
2. the DRINKS!
Pat Poh Peng, Kopi-O Peng.
well, penang is the only place all around peninsular Malaysia to have Pat Poh Peng(I think ipoh has it, but it doesn't taste the same), and is the only place where Kopi-O Peng actually taste good. try it for yourself and I'm a 100%, absolutely sure that you'll agree with me. =)
3. the BEACH!
as much as i dislike the sun, its not-exactly-white-sandy-beach of batu ferringi with lots of (broken) seashells and rocks, & the polluted straits of melacca with jelly fishesss.. its still nice to look out at the sea.. & "seberang perai"..
....shades of blue from the sky till the greens of the sea and till the beautifully 'tanned' rocks till the lighter shades of grey seawater [polluted sea lah adui! what you expect?] till the brownish-beigh(?) sands with trees shadows. its still beautiful dont you think?? =)
& of course!! the WATER SPORTS!! JET SKI~~ banana boat~~ woot!! i just love love love motion and wind. and water xD wahaha..
sometimes you just have to love penang cause its the only place where you can do all these sports!! you couldn't be jet-sking in the middle of a coral-bedded sea thats why ;)
4. the NIGHT.
Day time in penang is as warm as a sizzling pan, but once night falls, its really paradise. The streets will be quite yet not frightening [the comforting sea breeze against our skin & the rustle of tree leaves]. the temperature is just so fine, so nice.. =)
5. the LANGUAGE.
Hokkien, Chinese, Malay, Tamil, Cantonese and English. WAH SAE.. seriously don't play play with penang-ians.. even the indians and malays can speak fluent hokkien and/or chinese..
felt so paiseh when i accidentally ordered "jit... jit.. jit.. *i couldnt recall 'puaa' at that moment* err.. uwa(bowl) chee cheong fun" *shy*
+1!!
....THAI CHANNELS~!
- this is the best of all! maybe its cause its my interest towards foreign languages (espeacially asians) haha.. but yea, in comparison (even when i dont know any thai words except sawadeeka, and kapunkaa.) they have better TV commercial than us! & more cute people(guys) xD
they are so much more open and dramatic. which actually kept me to the channel during the ads & never fails to send me go *rofl*
-there's this one which was taken in the tube, where a short girl couldnt reach for the gripping bar above. then this cute guy her started grabbing around his waist/bottom while looking at her smirking.. *girl thinks:"HOMG WTH IS HE DOING?"* then.. Jeng-jeng~ he finally released his belt and tied it to the bar so she could reach it. xD swweeett~
^ freakin LOL.. I mean you will NEVER see this on m'sia boardcast.
there are many more ads which I saw in bangkok few years back, freaking lovely and humorous (I actually prefered to stay in the room at night/evening just to watch those ads..lol) just that.. i never know what they were promoting cause they're in thai language. =( yet =) .. haha.. kapunkaa.
