Penang :D

Hello bloggie, let's talk a little about my trip to Penang.

As planned, me and a few of my classmates went to Penang to try out the Escape Park. Besides, we were also there to catch Sungha Jung's concert.

So after Friday's class, I followed my friend back to his house in Kepong. We had dinner and rested for a while before departing for Penang at about 9.30pm. I slept through almost the entire journey and we finally arrived at Butterworth at 2am. We went to my friend's relatives home and that's where we would be staying for the next few days. We were all tired by then and went straight to the bed.

The next morning, we woke up at about 9am and had our breakfast. After that, off we went to the Escape Park. It took a while to find the place and we reached at about 11am. We were lucky the place wasn't crowded that day although it was a Saturday. We quickly bought our tickets and went in. After putting aside our belongings in the locker, we challenged the level 1. The staff there gave us a short brief before allowing us to start and the weather was getting hot. Level 1 was the easiest one and it did not took long for us to complete it. After that, we went for level 2 which was more challenging.

Among all the obstacles, I personally love the flying fox most and there were plenty of it there. Upon completing level 2, we were quite worn out so we took a break and went around the park to find other stations to play with. We tried climbing a building and also the longest flying fox in the park. My friend even tried climbing a coconut tree which was not a success. Haha xD

Before leaving the park, we insisted on challenging the level 3 and so we just went for it. It turns out that level 3 was more challenging that we expected. One really needs the courage and physical fitness to complete it. Half way through and we were already darn tired but there's no way to turn back by then. I manage to complete almost the entire level 3 but the last stretch was just too hard. I had to give up with just a few steps left as there was really no strength left inside my body. I was so relief to be back down and I can see bruises all over my hand and leg. We had dinner at Gurney Drive after that before going back.


On the third day, we woke up very late and had break.. erm no should be lunch at a nearby restaurant. We went around Penang after that to search for food and also the paintings on the wall. It was quite challenging finding those paintings but we manage to locate all of them except for one I think. In the evening, we went for Sungha Jung's concert in USM. He was just amazing and his skill makes your jaw drops. The concert ended at around 10.30pm and we went back for supper with my friend's uncle. After supper, he took us to have some drink and we had a great time playing darts. We lingered till about 3am and had some food before going back.



It didn't ended when we were back and he took out a few bottles of liquor and some cards. Well we all know the outcome of this and yeah we were all drunk in the end. I can't even recall properly what happened so I'll just skip to the next morning. Hangover it is and it really doesn't felt good. I had this feeling of vomiting for the entire day even till I reached home. But overall it was fun and I really enjoyed the time with them.
