Penang, Ohana, Dad

  Exactly a week ago, I was in Penang at this hour. 19 of us, 6 by bus, the others by car. 3 cars, 3 drivers. x) lol we missed the bus fyi. Idk who to blame, no one I guess. I wonder why they told us it's 7.30am when there's a bold font of 7.10 a.m. on the ticket -.- The most bek cek part is we're ady there at 6.55am -.-  So in the end we have to buy the tickets again sigh...... sokay, what's done is done. Oh well, we goyang kaki until 8.30a.m. but arrived almost at the same time as those who went by cars. If we were to reach earlier we would have to wait for at least ab hour for the drivers to fetch us. RM38.40 to buy time? okayyy I shall not comment any further.

  First day was pretty relaxing coz everyone's tired after the long journey. Haha the bungalow was DA BOOOMM XD. Approximately RM24 per night per person, quite cheap I'd say =) Location and facilities wise are all good hehe. We rested for few hours before heading to Gurney Paragon. Nahhhh, we didn't go there to shop =P We're just gonna hang around until the hawker stalls nearby starts operating. Hmm, I ate Auntie Anne's pretzel as alas perut, shared with others. The food in Penang has generally higher standard than in KL, but that's not the highlight, it's the people whom I've spent one and a half year with. We walked around George Town, humming melodies tgt and recall all the funny daibi things we've done. Not to forget some heart to heart talk with the girls =)

  Went Escape Park the next day and it was SOOOO FUN!!!!! The self service flying fox was superb. SELF SERVICE!!!! and the acrobat...after trying it the first time n years ago in club met, I DID IT. I DID THE BACKFLIP HAHHAHA and also hung myself upside down XDDDDD damn satisfied wohooooo, I was trembling before that ya know =D That's far more scary than jumping down from a 12m tall surface. too bad no photos were taken since we left all our hp in the locker =( It's pretty time consuming, played until the park closed hahaha. We stopped at a beach on our way back. Just for fun =P Took selfies with everyone and some turned out to be quite entertaining. After dinner we went grocery shopping at Giant coz we're planning to have BBQ and steamboat for our last night. The guys be the boss lol terbalik pulak. Jaccy wanna hand us the letter after BBQ tmr but I haven't done drawing some of the letter covers and write the notes -.-  Zhihao teman me until like errrr 3.30 am? 

  Third day the weather was BADDD -.- We spent whole day taking pictures with the street arts under the scorching sun -.- That UV, no joke. Luckily the photos are nice hmph. We went to the beach again after our photo session. It's another beach from the previous day, more crowded but still not many ppl. Maybe it's too hot lol and the timing also abit cacat. I was a little disappointed coz the sea wasn't as blue as I thought it would be, and it's sorta polluted -.- What's worse, after a short while soaking myself in the sea....rain pulak wtf  -.- We had no choice but to shelter ourselves in a resort nearby. The rain didn't last long tho, but no mood dy la adui so we bought the buy 1 free 1 McD burger and headed back. When we reached home it's ady 8 smth thank God we had burgers lol. Everyone was  exhausted, hungry and dirty summore coz we didnt wash up properly at the beach just now. Therefore 19 of us 抢厕所 LOL there's only 3 bathrooms fyi, one girls only one guys only one share share.  The guys were gentleman enough, they let the girls gao dim first. Those who're done automatically go help out in the kitchen la, since all of us were practically starving =P By the time we finished eating it's ady 12 lol. Last day mana ada sleep de. We had desserts while Jaccy distributed the letters. I got mine haha, 壮娘天使 XDDD soon after that we started our sharing session. Yes it's ady 1am and we're just gonna start. 

  A few of us cried (not me...not yet =P) during the sharing part, sambil flashback sambil cry, make others wanna cry too. Aiks. I wasn't feeling very well.....coz.....er......diarrhoea again -.- Went to the toilet 3 times during sharing time tsk tsk so I no energy cry dy /.\ I felt abit 失败 coz I couldn't rmb when we first talked to each other, first impression of him/her  and stuffs liddat. Louis actually rmb when he first talked to me. It's in physics lab and he asked me for pencil lead. wtf how can one rmb such small things. Tbh, I wasn't thaaaat close with everyone, as in not that close to chat with them abt personal stuffs. Yeah I'm pretty close with my classmates but there's this obvious gap between them and my SAB friends. During this Penang trip I felt more attached? It's like I could understand them better and we became closer. Eg I seldom talk to Huai jiun, not even 10 sentences lol he's somehow afraid of girls. not afraid la but super shy. He actually blushed when girls talk to him or he'll trip over XD I didn't know he was this funny, like joker type. If not because of this trip I don't think I'll ever know. Haha I was living in my own world until I was told some of the hidden stories. Stupid Cass, as ignorant as ever.

  Siao eh the sharing ended at 5 am -.- and we had to check out by 12 pm. Too tired dy lol I crawled up my bed and straight sleep like a pig. Most of us woke at 10 am, the drivers lagi tired coz they had to drive back kl ltr. Hmmmm, the guys cooked us breakfast muahaha, using the leftover ingredients ofcoz. After checking out we lepak at Queensbay Mall as it's near to the bus station lol I duwanna miss bus again. Our bus departed at 4pm so we had quite some time to lepak. LOL the sentimental feel when it's almost time to go...Finally I cried at the mall tgt with Jaccy the 催泪弹, Mandy also haha. 3 girls sitting bus ltr mah (and 3 guys, but they no cry)  the others still can see each other at the rest-stop  when driving back kl. The feelings of 'oh gosh it's really the last day' and 'I might not see some of them anymore after this' hit me real hard. 
  
  5 mins driving nia to the bus station. Zh sesat so he took a longer time. I guess Zhimeng face pale dy coz nobody wanna miss bus for the second time right? Hmmm...the farewell was emotional. Tears flow again haha well at least I manage to hug everyone before I left. Polli la, no cry till the end. bo sim =P
Luckily zm was with us, he kept telling lame jokes to cheer us up. Well he succeeded =) oh yesh I cried again at KL Sentral lol coz you know la farewells are always liddat. =P When we reached KL the car gang baru sampai Ipoh and it's ady 9pm. yeah coz they've to drop Sindy and Peggie at Ayer Hitam and then Junhoe at Ipoh. They got to taste the famous curry mee and ABC lol jealousssssss. but but butttt there's some setback at junhoe's hse. Thauhong's Naza was abit cacat dy, when they all went out to say bye to junhoe the car autolocked ._. This is not funnnnnnnyyy, at night dy summore.    Junhoe's grandma contacted the key repairer (? paiseh idk the name) and they spent at least 2 hours there.
They reached KL at 4-5 am -.- That was when I felt fortunate coz I chose bus muahaha. 13 hours on the road, kelian.
  I'm gonna miss this trip, the people especially. I already am.

(---update--- met with some of the ohanas on Tues coz shun bian fetch sis for tuition, haha we had mamak then second round Uncle Jang, sis joined us for the second round and no crying this time heh=)

*******
So today (it's 1.49 am Thurs now but I'll refer it as Wed la okay), I had a date with Zh.
He wanted to return my korean bbq set, and asked me out? haha
Mom knows abt him, I always keep her up to date regarding my relationship status XP
and ofcoz, she knows we're going out today. 
What worries me was...............dad.
I could easily cover up this by just saying Im going out for gathering things like that, but I know I wont feel good lying. 
So during breakfast time with parents, the mood was good so I gathered up my courage and made a huge leap, I told my dad abt zh.
Me: 爸,等下有人来还我们的bbq set (he knows Im going out ltr),他会载我出去,男的,他有在追我。
Dad: *weird look* ok, go ahead, daddy's open abt this. Go out with friends liddat ok.
I wasn't expecting such a ..err...calm reaction? I thought he'll be ganjiong or wad. Mom and I were stunned lol I was sitting opposite to both of them. loll, can see dad is tryyyying to stay calm, 'trying',  idk, he seemed abit blur? 
After some time, he spoke: Cass ah, 爸妈很爱你。
Mom and I almost puked LOLOL. We tried super hard not to laugh okay. I could see mom's lips twitching. macam chou gan.
Dad is processing this very very slowly, I think he was shocked. Sorry dad.
Then he continued makan, a few minutes ltr
Dad: 哪里人?
Me: Rawang
*continues eating....* 
mom's body is close to vibrating le she want laugh but have to suppress it.
Then again
Dad: 几岁
Me: 跟我同年,同班。
*silence again* 
When we were walking back to our car dad walked infront, me n mom chou gan behind him.

Zh reached at 10, he managed to greet both my parents before dad went out.
Lol we were thinking of Lot 10 at first but we ended up parking at Pav coz overshoot, so pav it is.

That's not the main point lol, although dad said be friends nia but I think he must've think hard to figure out what to say. I felt grateful, really. Unlike my mom, I've nvr told dad abt my personal relationship, even tho it's still awkward, but a milestone is achieved. I know he'll be thinking abt it for dunno how long haha, I hope he won't have sleepless night? lol. Thanks dad.
