Travelogue - from another perspective

The following is a wonderful self creation from my travel mate. Beautifully summarised our trip in such completeness and full of wit! Puts me to shame ler. I am working hard to recruit this person to blog on my behalf..may be my blog will have more traffic and we can share the earnings..eh?.

We set off on the 4th of October
For a 3D/2N trip to make ourselves fatter
Heading up north to makan together
On a quest for great food and white coffee powder

Our journey began from Rawang to Ipoh
With one guy and three soh poh
Arrived safely but oredi past lunch time loh...
Problem solved by offering a chicken drumstick to the kopitiam ah soh!

We continued till we finally reached Lake Pedu, Kedah
Only to discover is was closed,"2 tahun sudah!!!"
Despite all the hassle and susah payah
All we can say is "$%%^$&@#&* celakah!!!"

Having driven thru landslides and roads that are muddy
Not to mention berliku-liku, very dark and scary
Didn't even get to see the lake, what a pity
We couldn't stop cursing the girl from Tourism Ministry!

So we headed back to Alor Star
Hari sudah malam, perut banyak lapar
Looking for bak kut teh or hokkien char
Ended up settling for satay, nasi goreng and telur dadar

The next morning we were rather lucky
Shopping at Padang Besar was ok but nothing fancy
And Gua Kelam was a pleasant discovery
But surely, the highlight was lunch with 'extra' gravy!!!

While we appreciate the aunty's hospitality
Suddenly uncle decided to be nice and friendly
Trying to make small talk and be chatty
Saying to our gal, "Oh! You are so cute and always smiley!!!"

To Penang we head as we continue our journey
Drove straight to Pasar Road, skipping Gurney
Assam laksa, char kueh teow, putu piring and prawn mee filling our tummy Followed by Lorong Baru's pork porridge and fried oyster, oh so yummy

After dinner we went to Batu Feringghi
Checked-in at a guest house, where someone lost her 'virginity' Dropped by at Lone Pine for a beer and to feed the mozzies Followed by wan 'than' mee and burgers at Café Tari

Finally the trip entered its last day
But our breakfast was definitely no child's play
Nasi kandar, roti salad and teh tarik at Burma Road's alleyway Then Macalister sisters' char kueh teow, yam cake but not nyonya kuey

Heading back to KL on the North-South highway
Heavy rain followed us home all the way
A safe return, we all hope and pray
Coz someone's rushing home to fly away!

A final food stop in the town of Bidor
It really felt like we have been eating door to door
Duck soup, siew pau and bull's horn we favoured for
We were so full; we almost fainted on the floor!

The trip was a filled with fun and laughter
And of course gossips and silly banter
Sharing our 'experiences' and 'encounters'
We are a bunch of weird characters

The first gal is extremely secretive
Whether it's her income or career objective
Always 'testing' men and being very selective
Favourite answer, "He's irrelevant" and then stop being responsive

Always thinks long and hard before giving any answer
Morning a babysitter, by night she turns 'sms typer'
And when she's tired reading messages later
She sleeps like hantu Kom Kom in a freezer!!!

The second girl was a virgin of sorts
Batu Caves, guest houses, horse riding and nasi kandar at Penang port A budding photographer who takes up yoga as a sport Also fancies 'checking out' other girls' bums while they sleep in shorts!!!

So for her we embarked on an "Ops Debunga"
Trying everything from Perlis to Tanjung Bungah
She loves the ostrich farm near the home of Pak Lah
Only thing she missed was walking on a sawah

The last girl is our cute, little China doll
Our treasurer, counting money for food, fuel and toll
She doesn't believe in morning showers at all
Whether it's winter, spring, summer or fall!!!

Her best achievement is not smoking for 72 hours
Such a sacrifice from this friend of ours
Giving up nicotine requires dedication and fervour
But she controlled her emotions with ice and lots of Jack Daniels flavour!!!

Finally, the driver is just another bloke
Short, fat, ugly and never been more broke
Discovered he's 'supposedly' interested in many girls, he almost choked Come on girls, is this some kind of joke???

He doesn't like girls who call themselves "missy"
Can't stand those who expect guys to have mind reading ability That's why he's still not seeing anyone seriously Everyone's saying to him, "You're taking an eternity!!!"

As the end comes to a trip that's so delicious
Still the driver continued to south and east, so adventurous
It is his very own way of saying adios
To his trusted and beloved Toyota Vios

The holiday was such an adventure
Interesting discoveries, plenty of leisure
Good company providing fun and pleasure
We'll have to do this again, that's for sure!
