Up the northern states

The road was jammed.. as we drove closer, we could notice they closed 2 lanes of the highway. While passing the closed lanes, we could hear the highwaymen shouting "keep going !!" then when it was our turn to pass the scene, blood was seen splatted on the road and the dead body was left on the road with his helmet on and his mouth open..


The drive that turns us on.
It was a Sunday evening that I confirmed going on a trip up north when I was online and got persuaded to join them. After gathering up and having a good meal, we left in the middle of the night. Arun drove from Selangor to Perak, then later Bhusan drove from Perak to Kedah.. I only drove the dangerous bits of Perak which I actually had to tap on the brakes!! Driving on the north-south highway with hardly any traffic, stepping on the brakes is kinda unusual.. unless you're on that stretch slightly to the north of Ipoh.


Jonardation
When we reached Kedah, we called a Jonard to find his address... and so we drove thru estates, plantations, fields, cows, tows, dam, hills, kampungs..


Below is Mengkuang Dam before heading towards the Island

Democratic Action Penang
Later, he took us to Penang Island. RM7.70 for the ferry ride. I was hoping on finding some decent accommodation.. but ended up in some 5-star hotel we never heard of... Haha
While waiting to check-in, Bhusan fell asleep and so Jonard decided to burn his leg and put it on facebook.


Ate all sorts of food there. First time I ate coconut jelly :) the food were fab and cheap!
We had steamboat for dinner before we left on tuesday night. The pork was awesome !!
Komtar building; one of Penang's trademark
Bhusan that nut drove 140km/hour cutting lanes like nobody's business on Penang Bridge. wtf?
Yee Mun didn't get to go to the temple but at least we went to the seaside and sat on the rock watching the couple taking wedding photos right? and the dam with all the rempits of penang..
On the way back, Bhusan the champion drove on 3 states Penang, Kedah, and Perak within half an hour..while it took me one an a half hours from Perak to Selangor... after all, the owner of the car said : Maximum 140km/hour.

It jammed for a bit near Rawang and we thought we were caught in the massive jam.. but turned out to be an accident where a motorcyclist was killed. Probably thrown off his bike coz we saw his blood was splashed toward one direction.. just like when you throw a water balloon.
Got home bout 2.15Am wednesday morning.
