My CNY Holi Part 3

Well like i was saying previously (in part 2)... we went to bed and woke up quite early too.. around 9 i think ... hey we were tired... so 9 is quite early since we've been travelling whole day ytd. After we got ready, we went to the market to have breakfast... they say the noodle there was marvelous and indeed it was, there was a long crowd there waiting for it. After breakfast we went home and we waited for Phoon's jeep to return... if we dun go by jeep then it is vry difficult to go to the orchard. The road to the orchard was a bit bumpy... well, we need to pass thru some oil palm estate so the ride is bumpy... after bout 1/2 hr later we r there... W/o further ado we went fishing ... i was having trouble jsut casting the hook ... :~( but in the end i was able to get hold of it...

After a few try i given up coz there weren't enuf hooks so we have to share; the other fishing rod dun have a hook (but only to find out that there were enuf hooks). While i was playing wif it i manage to get a small fish... those bout 3 inch type... when i called for help (coz i have no idea wat to do) the line got caught in the weeds in the pond, when Phoon came to me it was a bit too late... the little fishy manage to escape the hook... according to Phoon, not many is able to catch those small ones, and wif those small ones we can actually use them it as bait for some other bigger fish, live bait is the best bait to catch those fish.. but too bad it got away.

Anyway, Phoon give me a tour of the orchard.. basically it is just mandrine oranges all the way (well at least i think it's mandrine orange ... a sub set of it at least) the place look quite big too.. i would assume it to be around ... erm.... er.. well i dunno how big but its big haha.. While walking i felt thirsty so i got a orange from the tree n jsut ate it on the spot haha.. talk about fresh hahaha.... "Peel fresh.. if it were any freshier, u have to pluck it from the farm" hahahaa.. guess wat... i did :p hahaha.. It was really amazing...

After the walk Meng and KT were still fishing... suddenly Meng got a bite... it was a BIG fish... w/ no experience he quickly called for help... i was around but i myself dunno wat to do so i just stand there n watched... he tried to reel it in .. but too early... the fish was fighting... spalshing everywhere ... and ... suddenly ... ... ... the line snap... the fish was too heavy and too active to be reel in... so it got away... wow... wat an expericne haha... With tat .. Meng got more enthusiasm to get a fish... he stayed on... bout 20 mins later ... guess wat ... he got another bite... Man... wat luck tis bugger has.

Tis time he quickly ask for help and when the guys came he quickly pass the rod to 1 of the worker there... he ask him to reel the fish in for him. KT played around wif the fish awhile then the worker reel it in... well i dunno wat fish it was but it was big, bout 14inch from head to tail... We put it in a container n then continue fishing. By then KT was a bit too restless, Meng got 2 bite but he din even has a nibble haha.. well he has actually but just no big fish to be reeled in. Even i got a small fish to talk about hahaha...

At bout 2 we start to leave coz i need to get to Pg. I got another appoitment there haha. I told Phoon to weight the fish, and it came to bout 2kg.. wow.. Meng is sure lucky. Phoon give us some fresh oranges dat he just plucked from the trees and we went back home. At Phoon's hse we all took our bath and then had our lunch... Delicous food, fresh fish (not the 1 Meng caught, it was caught by Phoon's bro) After we finish the meal it was bout 4+ so we went to the bus station and bought the ticket to Penang.

At 5, Meng and i got on the bus and left for Pg. The bus left Kamunting around 530, i msg dad, CK and Grn (i think); CK replied that to call him again when we bout to reach Pg. In the bus both of us had a short nap... coz it was really tiring... not enuf rest ... At bout 615, i called CK again, he told us to get of at the toll gate. And we waitied for him. While waiting, i notice dat i had sun burn around my arm.. it was itchy and a bit painful hahaha. At buot 640 CK arrived and we went to his hse straight. He told me bout his interview stuff tis n dat. 1 thing dat i really wanna comment is how CK drives... he's no longer the dare-devil driver that we once knew. Amazing
After a short rest, CK, Meng and i went to Island to look for JS. CK and JS argue awhile bout where to eat haha.. 2 penang-kia arguing on where to eat hahaha... Well we had dinner at a place quite near to Kek Lok Si coz we plan to go there later.

Kek Lok Si was vry beautiful.. it lights up like a lighthouse its so bright dat u can see it from afar. We stop quite far coz the traffic was terrible, we had a 20 min walk to the place which was quite a lovely walk minus the noise pollution from the car haha. Once up there, we walk around here n there taking photos, prayed and make some blessings. Later we took the er.. cable car??? to the top to look at the bronze Buddha. Its magnificant. Later i went to take a photo with my chinese zodiac "The Boar" hehe.. i think i look quite funny there.. too bad the photos not out yet.. CK still holding onto them.. i think i need to rush him for it.

After Kek Lok Si we went to McDonals to met wif Ai Ling... i wanna a payback.. while i was half dead she took advantage n mock me.. i wan a rematch !!! Got to McD 1st... CK just gotta race wif JS haha... Anyway in McD we did chat... made some "smart" remarks bout each other but pretty much normal, no nukes flying around as i expect. WY is as usual... acting damn cool, Meng... well he's just being him. Around 1230 we left for home.

Once back we just drop dead n slept. The next day CK say wanna bring us to go badminton wif his frens. Anyway the following day was a bit boring actually except for dinner and the short meeting wif my lil sis, CK ask meng and i to join his family for a family dinner ... both of us were like.. well.. we felt like strangers there but got to met wif CK's girl, and she look stunning dat night in her dress. Good ol' CK.. hahaha.

After dinner CK brought us out for some sight seeing around BM. Then we jsut went home... The next day we were to go to island again where Meng n i will spend a night at JS's place.
I'll talk bout it next time haha... its tiring having to write all these stuff, i wanna keep them detail yet dun wanna make them so long .. haha well i wan my blog to be my online diary anyway
