Kevin and Alan were here!

It was definitely a weekend filled with fun, laughter, catching-ups and surprises! Surprises include how an Ah Beng managed to save the day, against all odds, and how Alan was discovered in the jungles of Penang, having been trapped there for what seem to look like an eternity, judging from his inability to keep a proper straight face and smile for the camera, let alone pose! Kevin has got a detailed story of this heroic Ah Beng and a great account of the rescue of A.L.A.N. by the Great Four - Kevin, Chun Yan, Chris and Wai Lun -, so, please go and read about his Escape to Penang Island.. Trust me, you will be very entertained!

Kevin and Alan came on Friday evening and visited us, Cubics, in Intel and Altera. We (Kevin and Alan and Cubics from Intel) unexpectedly barged into a jamming session in Altera and Kevin was the ever-honoured guest guitarist, playing a few songs as requested by the Cubics in Altera. Then we headed for a quick dinner at McDonalds, where Kevin couldn’t seem to eat his Mc Chicken like how he used to, and then for Indiana Jones, and then to N-Park and then to bed.

Starting our Saturday with Hokkien Mee in Jelutong, we had a great deal of fun in Penang Hill and Fort Cornwallis.

Arrival at Penang Hill

 Arrival at Penang Hill, this time trying to pose

Debbie had a thing for walls that Saturday, I got roped in. Luckily we did not do the kiss-the-wall pose.

Took pictures in the gallery while waiting for the train.

“In This Club” would be the perfect background music

Kevin is able to hold the camera even while sleeping

I had two guys to sleep with.

The view was nice and the air was cool at the top.

View from top, it is on these train tracks that an Ah Beng finally saved the faces (or asses) of all Malaysians!

Kek Lok Si is visible on top of Penang Hill

Along the way, me and Kev wanted to create some romantic scenes and here are some of our attempts.

Our first attempt that failed miserably

Our second attempt, which could have been much better. A.L.A.N. just had to spoil the romance that was going on.

Happily being spotted by Kev

Happily spotting Kev, Kev is controlling his “cool”, cheh…

Debbie also had a thing for leaves and trees that day.

Debbie’s masterpiece of the day

My masterpiece of the day

Grasshoppers selling for RM1 each, haven’t seen these for a long time.

There’s an Indian temple and a mosque up the hill, along with some cannons to make it historical.

To war with the cannons! The air smells really good, Kev.

We went up on the canopy walkway against Debbie’s pleadings, “scary ah~ scary ah~” and “Si Fiu, don’t come near me!!!!“. Ask Si Fiu why.

Canopy walkway

Beautiful houses lined the road to the canopy walkway. We stopped to take pictures with the most beautiful one of all. And this picture looks like we’re already up in heaven.

Knocking on heaven’s door

After some Air Itam Laksa and Penang Road Cendol, we headed to Fort Cornwallis. Yes, we made it back to Fort Cornwallis!

Zig-zag pose, according to Deb

Surrender to me!

Kevin, Chris, A.L.A.N. and Si Fiu went up this lighthouse, I’m gonna try it some other time.

Wild horses in Fort Cornwallis

A visit to Fort Cornwallis wouldn’t be complete without a picture of its huge cannons so here it is.

Iconic

I could not spend the rest of the night and Sunday with the rest because I had to attend my cousin’s wedding. That night, we had a pillow talk after I came back from my cousin’s place. Sorry Kev, for not letting you to go to sleep. Hehe. I haven’t seen you for a long time ma~. After the weekend, Kevin and I talked through e-mails and we agreed that we haven’t had hearty laughs and talks like we had during the weekend for a long long time. It was indeed a great, great weekend! =)

p/s: I think Kev’s post is much more accurate, along with all the hilarious stories that I think would not be as nice if I repeat them here. Hehe. Go read Kev’s post even if you only know me and not know him!
