What A Day!
Thursday, July 30, 2009
I took half day off today and decided to go to somewhere breezy and not so crowded.
To do some reading and thinking.
Shopping mall and Coffee Bean were not in my option list today because I intend to go for somewhere low budget and for once I wanted to be a nature person!
Therefore, after lunch and ice cream with Abs and Wern, I drove myself to Penang Hill.
The moment I stepped into the waiting room for cable car, I wish I was in Coffee Bean. Man, there're so many people in there! Nowadays people still visit Penang Hill?
I heard sound from this pond. It must be the fish!
My love. My favourite scone :)
Just plain me (I was wearing white skirt therefore plain. I can be colourful at times too, like marron me or mustard yellow me!) with my book.
I have started reading this Sophie's World since like 5 years ago, and I am still reading now. No, I am not slow reader. I think I am more to "The Thinker" now, and I find this book is very much interesting than last time. Last time I was more to a "Dreamer".
Okay, still pretty much a dreamer now.
The truth is, I did fall asleep after few pages. Blame on the weather. It was too breezy and merry with birds chirping. I still hate birds, but I can tell these are friendly birds from the sound they made.
Awww... I was so obsessed with them and was like snaping every angle of these flowers!!
I can't see Penang from here. Blame on the hazily weather.
People were sent off in jeep.

I went to David Brown so I can have valid excuse to order my favourite scone!

Not much changes on Penag Hill. Still the same old stalls selling same old stuff.
The weather was freaking cold and I thought it's time to leave since I have spent 2 and the half hours for only 30 pages reading, very random and scattered thinking, 20 minutes scone eating and tea sipping. Most of the time contributed to the forty winks!
The 6.15pm train has delayed. And after half an hour waiting, the person in charge came to us and told us something gone wrong with the cable and thus the cable car was not moving. I think I heard he mentioend broken cable!
THE TRAIN IS NOT MOVING AND IT TAKES FUCKING 2 OR 3 HOURS TO REPAIR!!!
Everyone gone wild!
Not me though, because I continue with photo-taking calmly and happily, still.

Spot the difference? It's the before and after when the cable-car-broken-news was announced.
So, we gotta took the jeep down. One jeep can only accommodate about 8 people and it takes about 20 minutes to go down. There're 300 plus people waiting to go down, with a limited numbers of jeep only.
I don't know how to count with my limited fingers and toes. But I know it sure took forever to wait!
I started to panic.
WHEN WOULD BE MY TURN?!
The guy said they will send people off according to their arrival time, namely FIFO. Phew!

People were sent off in jeep. 
People waiting for thier turn.
Yay! It's finally my turn after the long and dreadful waiting.
I was the only one that did not tag along with any friends or family, therefore I was arranged to sit beside the driver.
No need to squeeze like a tomato red bean in the can though.

I see jealousy faces outside the jeep!
"Encik, jeep ini akan sampai dekat tempat cable car ar?" I asked the driver with my very broken Malay.
"Bukan, turun dekat Waterfall, lebih cepat."
Apa? Waterfall? But I parked my car at the tempat cable car!
"Har! Bukan tempat cable car meh?" "Don't worry, bas akan bawa kamu balik ke cable car sana."
Ooooh!
"Bas sudah di Waterfall ar?" "Ya"
Well, I might as well walk back to my house from Waterfall, afterall it takes only 15 minutes. And it's going to take forever to reach the tempat cable car (Air Itam) since it's the jam-iest time now.
Not my day.
Finally, the bus reached the tempat cable car.

And then I spotted something interesting. As if what I had gone through just now was not interesting enough.
Reporters with flashing cameras waiting right in front of the bus!!!

Damn! This's so ugly! I wish I do not have to go down from the bus!
Frankly, I am so not used to flashing cameras without red carpets lor!
What an unfortunate yet interesting day.

Pardon me for the unpleasant scenery.
