Probably the best trip... Part 3
Day 2
Rise and shine. It's another new day of excitement for the brotherhood. As expected, all of them are still sleeping. Nid me to wake those lazy bums up. After some washing up, we proceeded down to the hotel restaurant to enjoy our breakfast. Breakfast was the usual type, fried rice, fried mee plus green bean soup. It wasn't exactly tasty compared to the meals we had yesterday. After the short meal, we proceeded up to the rooftop of Laguna Hotel. Magnifact. The view was terrific. Probably b'coz there aren't much tall buildings in TJ Pinang and Laguna happens to be one of the highest, we had a pretty good view of the city and port area.
In case u r wondering y the photos are in black/white, its not done on purpose to show how old the place is. I accidentally changed the camera special effects without knowing it. Too bad. But i guess it does add an effect to the place.
After which, Si Yi called us to come down to the lobby as she had already gotten the transport to bring us to the next destination, my Big Aunt's house cum coffeeshop. The brotherhood had expected that the transport was gonna be some mini bus or "broken" car. Shocking. We saw five riders on their bikes, with their engines roaring away and signalling for us to get onto the bike. Haha, it could have been a shock to Sean who has nv rode on a bike as a pillion before. Also, the motorbikes here do not have boxes like wat you see in SPORE. The back is empty and if u lose ur balance, u will fall back. I'm okay with it tho as i'm used to taking bikes. The ride was a short one and i arrived at my Big Aunt's coffeeshop. Due to the fact that i was away for the past 10 years, no one actually recognized me at all. Only after my self intro, my cousin, Ah Hong, recognized that i am Xiao Di( my family members and relatives calls me by that). Subsequently, the rest of the brotherhood arrived and i left them with my Si Yi while i proceeded up to visit my Big Aunt.
Afterwhich, the brotherhood got to meet their 2nd female friend in TJ Pinang. As we were sitting down at the coffeeshop joking abt getting a wife in Indonesia, Ah Hong butted in and insisted in showing us her daughter, who was supposed to be quite pretty. Even for me as an "uncle", i did not recall how she looked like. She was ard 5 yrs old when i last saw her. I was ard 10 yrs old at that time ba. Si Yi told me that long ago, i had actually gave the gal a nickname of "devil" as she was so mischiveous and always disturbing me. We then walked to Ah Hong's house which was only a short distance away. Similiarly, like Ah Mei, my nephew refused to come down as she was shy with meeting some hunks(...:P) Eventually, she was forced to come down by her mum to greet us. Pardon me, i did not even know her name... ha... wat a good uncle i was. Btw, her name is Pena and she did gave a surprise to the brotherhood. She actually looked quite good and the brotherhood can't help throwing glances at her. She was even too shy to shake the hands of the brotherhood. No chance for Micheal as she is much taller than him. LOL. And she even refuses to acknowledge me as her uncle...:<
After a short while, we bid farewell to her and she hid back to her room almost immediately. Ha. As usual, the main topics is on her again. Y am i surprised? And almost instinctively, we linked her with Sean again... Ha, first it was Ah Mei, now Pena... wat's next? But i will not let him touched both of them... Dun want Sean to lay his dirty hands on them. Joking... The excitement of meeting a new girl did not die down as the only topic for the brotherhood was abt Pena. Haiz, so childish. If the girl had been someone not related to me by blood... guess i would haf joined in with the conversation too. Ha. Anyway, my Si Yi had actually wanted us to have our lunch there, but already sold out. Thus, we make our way to the Ba Ku Teh stall to have our lunch.
Si Yi and Ah Hong led us thru the back alleys of the city area as a shortcut to reach the stall. It was an interesting experiences as the back alley is a wet market by itself. Dun expect finding dead chickens here. If u want to have a chicken back home for dinner, u can onli purchase a "LIVE" one. The quills they sell here also comes in differnet colours... how did they do that anyway? After a five minutes walk over muddy patches on the ground, we finally reached the stall. The stall owner happens to be a friend of my mum and the Ba Ku Teh they sell here is terrific. The soup was very thick and we got all sorts of pig organs thrown into the soup. Best, free re-fill. The brotherhood wasted the food again and it is funny lookin at Sean trying his very best to please Ah Hong... Ulterior motive. How does stacking ur cup above others please her and thinks of u as her future son-in-law. Lol. How creative can Sean get and how bitchy can the brotherhood be... Anyway, while we were having the meal, we were "disturbed" by malay youngsters coming into the shop with guitars and their vocals. This is a common scene in TJ Pinang. But since they are working their asses off, and not begging like those monks in SPORE. Y not gif a bit to show our appreciations?
After the meal, we met up with Si Yi's eldest son, Jing Qing, who was "tasked" by his mum to help us in checking out of Laguna and proceeding to AGRO resort which was situated abt 30 KM from the city.
