Pulau Ketam Trip + Penang Trip after Exams

Exam period was the most stressful and tortured moments for those “last minute” students...like me.. =P Therefore, we must treat ourselves better after our battle ends.. A few of my classmates & I had made a day trip to Pulau Ketam(Crab Island).. Well, most people don’t even know the existence of this “fish village” coz it’s not famous at all.. So, why are we paying a visit there then; for the seafood?? I have no idea actually.. haha.. Anyway, it was pretty fun to hang out with my classmates and learnt some “yellow” jokes from them.. Lolz..


Waiting for the train(KTM) to Perlabuhan Klang at KL Central...


VERY long journey...therefore we slept in the train and gain some energy...


After few hours of waiting+train journey, we were finally on the boat to Crab Island...






Ticket for the boat...


We were FINALLY at the jetty of Crab Island!! ~Yeah~





Mini-crabs in Crab Island...


This is a Chinese temple & it really proves that we are on Crab Island... Lolz...


Waiting for the soup to be served by this gentleman...we were starving!! >.<



After lunch, there were nothing much to do on this little village.. So, we just walked around and looked around...


This turtle was the most entertaining moment we had...=P After 5 minutes or so, she was finally being saved by a hero..but this poor hero got beaten up by her bf.. =P


Astro??!!


Poor stingrays.. But they looked yummy though.. XD


We met a stranger on the island and he volunteered to be our tour guide(so nice!!)...and he actually brought us to another Chinese temple...


Maybank??!!


COOL!! Concrete houses on the sea...with air-cond some more!!


Rubbish all around... Well, this is much better compared to years ago...


After a LONG walk, we were finally here at the bigger temple... Phew~




On our way back to UNIM...


The boat arrived... ~~Bye, Crab Island~~



The second trip to Penang was incredible as well.. The 4 of us (all girls) drove all the way to Penang and eat non-stop for every couple of hours.. OMG, it was the 1st time I ate so much in just 2 days.. I think I’ve gained at least 2kg after this trip.. >.< After this trip, I can assure 3 things; firstly, the food in Penang is really CHEAP and TASTY!! Secondly, there are so MANY temples in Penang.. Lastly, I really salute the drivers in Penang coz they are so “geng” (Can you believe I can’t stop saying, “they’re so ‘geng’ woh”..)!! Luckily Pin was the driver; otherwise, I think I’d have got stuck in the road junctions for minutes, for hours or maybe forever.. XD


Penang bridge!!! Under maintenance??


Big lizards/alligators are VERY common in Penang... ~~His name is Leo(Pin named it)~~ =P


Pin hates green vegetables but she was eating raw Kangkung!!!
