Phin Lum Hooi Hotel Lumut

it was a rainy when h come from kl to manjung. i was very affraid that h would not show up since h likes to play around with going down to manjung.

after all i confirm that h is on a bus. but h still refused to inform where h would go.

after office hour has ended i rush to manjung bus station to fetch h but h still not show up. then i have to ask h where is h now.

then h ...

i woke H up early in the morning as he requested soo that H will not miss bus to manjung.

then when H arrived at manjung after a 3hours journey by bus from penang to manjung. H called
me at about 11.50am. i was shocked and rushly try to finish my job to meet H.

then we chek in to Kwest Hotel. Standard queen for RM55, very budget hotel. Then the love sparks...

... have had rain most afternoons although the mornings are usually bright.....Temp is about 30* but cools off nice in the evenings - humidity is at 90% (ok norm).

We haven't found it a problem watching any Premiership football while we have been out here most towns show it and the only downside is the time we have to stay up until. This place was no exception we had a great TV room and manager was a Liverpool supported so ...

After a lovely cool week in the highlands, i felt refreshed and rejuvunated and i ventured on to Pulau (means island) Pangkor with a couple new friends. Every morning in the highlands a few of us would meet at breakfast and not really move for a good few hours...i called it the Breakfast Club one day and the name stuck. So myself and a few clubbers, Gabriel from Switzerland and Richard from England finally found the energy (haha) to move on to the beach and coast. Gabriel was ...

... I was there. Beach side shops not too too pretty, just practical. Guest house: ours was a little cabin, furthest from the main road next to the "jungle"/woods. Exterior was quaint, interior not too pretty, could've used an update and clean sheets. Maybe a new mattress considering my strange bite marks on the one forearm i rested outside of my sleeping bag on night 2. Unless it was from a mosquito when only my forearm was ...

... lazy start we headed over to the bus stop in Chinatown, admiring terrapins and trinkets in the central market along the way. We hopped on the bus to Batu Caves and after a long trip we bailed out, already stunned by the steps and statue at the entrance. We made our way up the 272 steps, keeping a watchful eye on the cunning macaque monkeys who were stealing people's water bottles. The caves were dripping wet after the previous night's downpour and ...

... up and after getting in and out 4times to cross the border.Literally spoke in thai one side of the fence,then went over to a girl selling fruit and went to pay in Baht,till she looked at me funny and realised the 20foot wed just walked meant we were in a different country,and I only had Thai money on me!An Australian girl on the same bus had got talking to paid for me,and then spent 5 hours on back of bus till we finally got to ...

... travelling, who doesn't get fed up, and I have to admit I met some people I admire for their perseverance, courage, and positive look on things. The things that wear people out is the ugly face of the touristic industry. In most, though not all, of the countries I travelled in, people were incredibly nice. But with this I mean local people, the people that live in the country and you meet ...

... shopping. Trudie picked up a top that she seems quite happy with. I grabbed a couple blank CDs and checked out the pirated software and DVDs, cheap (RM5 for CDs and RM9 for DVDs) but I didn't buy any. We're on our way back to the hotel to relax before going out to dinner tonight. I will get some photos up before too long!

... couldn't stop anywhere else adding to our glea at being in this place!! (Ho Ho Ho!!!!! That's so funny it hurts!!!!!!!!!!!!!) - (Some people have no sense of humour!) Apart from that,it was fun on the bike - so much in fact that we'll probably get one when we get back!!!!!!! (perhaps a newer model though). So, anyway, with most of the day wasted we enjoyed a lovely seafood BBQ back at our place - The best ever!! We had Oxfish (??), squid ...
