01-11 Life Log: Penang Trip - Temples, Hiking, and Food 2026-01-11T11:54:09Z # — Life Log ## Title Temples, Hikes, and an Unforgettable Meal in Penang ## Time Context This log seems to cover a couple of days, spanning afternoons and evenings. ## Life Log Narrative You and Noel spent a few adventurous days exploring Penang, a time marked by rich cultural sights, unexpected challenges, and incredible food. One afternoon was dedicated to visiting the magnificent Obsidian Temple. The journey began with a taxi and a funicular ride up a steep hill, offering beautiful views and sparking a chat about tortoises and turtles. At the temple complex, you were both in awe of the giant Goddess of Mercy statue. You shared a sweet moment making wishes on red ribbons, both choosing "being together forever" to hang on a tree. The visit was a blend of sightseeing, quiet reflection, and shared affection, punctuated by playful photos. Your explorations took an unexpected turn on Penang Hill when a simple "meandering garden path" turned into a grueling, unplanned hike through the jungle. You found yourself changing from a dress into pants behind a rock to ward off mosquitoes. Despite the challenges, like getting a bit lost, you appreciated the beautiful views and the fascinating mix of Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim temples all in one place. You even declared that the colorful Hindu temples were now your favorite. A recurring theme was the search for and delight in amazing food. After a slightly frustrating and "hangry" moment trying to find a place to eat, you discovered a restaurant called Flamme. You arrived just as the kitchen was closing, but the staff kindly accommodated you, and the meal that followed was spectacular. From the foie gras and sizzling wagyu to a unique durian crème brûlée, the food completely turned your mood around. You both declared it one of the best meals you'd ever had. These days were a whirlwind of urban exploration, nature, and incredible flavors, leaving you with a deep appreciation for the unique experiences you were sharing with Noel. ## Places Visited - Penang, Malaysia - Obsidian Temple / a large Buddhist temple complex - Penang Hill - The Clan Jetties - A Hindu temple on Penang Hill - Flamme (Restaurant in Penang) - Various cafés in Penang - A shop selling Chinese-style goods and souvenirs - The Dunes Gallery (mentioned as the origin of a shirt) - De Bijenkorf (mentioned as the origin of a shirt) - Old Town (mentioned in reference to souvenir shops) - Gudang (mentioned as a quiet place) - Penang Kitchen (mentioned as a backup plan) - Singapore (mentioned as a future destination) - Legoland (mentioned in conversation) - Raffles City (mentioned as a place to buy shoes) - Setúbal (mentioned in passing) - Australia, Europe, Japan (mentioned in conversation) ## Activities - Exploring Penang - Sightseeing at temples - Hiking (unintentionally) - Traveling by taxi and funicular - Dining out and trying local food (durian crème brûlée, wagyu, etc.) - Shopping for souvenirs, gifts, and red envelopes - Working remotely from cafés - Taking photos - Making wishes and hanging them on a tree - Having a virtual call with family/friends - Planning for future travel and activities - Playing Pokémon Go (mentioned) ## Key Moments - Taking the funicular up to the temple, feeling glad Noel was holding you. - You and Noel both picking out a "together forever" wish to hang on the tree at the temple. - Playfully trying to take a romantic "dip" photo, which proved a bit awkward but funny. - Getting accidentally lost on a jungle trail on Penang Hill and having to change into pants behind a rock. - Feeling "hangry" and stressed, then having Noel patiently comfort you before your amazing meal. - Experiencing the "dry ice performance" with the sizzling wagyu at Flamme, which immediately lifted your spirits. - Trying and loving the durian crème brûlée, which was what initially drew you to the restaurant. - Declaring Flamme your favorite restaurant and feeling sad you didn't discover it sooner. - Reflecting on how you now understand your mother's chatty shopping style from an adult perspective. - You and Noel discussing your Chinese zodiac signs (You're a Wood Dog, Noel's an Earth Rooster). - Noel teasing you about wishing you were in the snowy Netherlands, despite planning a trip to escape winter. ## Conversation Topics - The difference between tortoises and turtles. - The branches of Buddhism and the worship of Buddhas. - Your mother's shopping habits and her way of talking to people. - Chinese zodiac animals for yourselves and friends. - The incredible food you were eating, from the quality of beef to durian dishes. - An unplanned hike on Penang Hill and the pros and cons of different temples. - Logistics for your travels, including checkout times, luggage, and future plans. - A discussion about the *Zelda* video games *Breath of the Wild* and *Tears of the Kingdom*. - The affordability of food and transport (Grab) in Penang. - A running joke about the Russian word "Tushka" (тушка), meaning carcass or corpse. - Plans to play D&D and join an adult group together. ## People - **Noel:** Your partner, who you shared these adventures with. - **Your mom:** You shared a memory about shopping with her. - **Kyan & Nico:** Friends/family members on a video call ("the boyos"). - **Colette:** A friend/family member on the video call. - **Kuya:** A term of respect used for an older male figure on the call. - **Jack:** A friend you considered buying a gift for, who is turning 30. - **Warren:** Someone you bought a gift for. - **Rob:** A friend, mentioned as being in Thailand. - **Lucas:** Mentioned in the context of the snow in the Netherlands. - **Luke:** A friend who is an Earth Rabbit. - **Ate Cat:** Mentioned as having given you anti-mosquito stickers. - **Brianna:** Name mentioned briefly, context unclear. - **Your aunt:** Mentioned in the context of your zodiac sign. ## Follow-Ups - Look up Guan Gong (Guan Yu), the Chinese god of war and wealth, to learn more about the statue you bought. - Look into Chinese New Year events and celebrations in Singapore. - Call "the boyos" tomorrow, possibly between 10 AM and 12 PM. - Decide where to leave your luggage after checking out. - Potentially check out the cocktail bar you got a recommendation for. - Look into visiting the Botanical Gardens or a waterfall. - Buy new black leather shoes to replace your broken pair. - Revisit the idea of finding a D&D game to join together with Noel. - Find a gift for Jack. 00:00:01 Hello Plaud, I am now with Noel, my partner, waiting to get picked up from the apartment, building.

What about, what do you mean? There's not, there's two branches of Buddhism. 00:59:36 One is the greater vehicle and one is the lesser vehicle. Theravada and Mahayana. Okay. And the lesser, I can't remember which is which, but one of them is like they worship Buddhas as gods and the other ones are like, they're not gods, they're just prophets or people that can help. and so i guess this is the i think the greater vehicle where they do worship, the like prophets as gods because she is the goddess of mercy but they have many they don't. 01:00:10 have like a single pantheon i also like these burly dudes yeah yeah temple guardians those. guys would be fearsome to meet in the d.e.t campaign they would be awesome tattoos are. those snakes around them no i don't think so that's some sort of ribbon, Yeah. 01:02:20 Stop, stop, stop. 01:02:56 You can eat the bugs off my skin, eat the crumbs, yay, yay bugs, nyaa, crumbs, why do you put it that way? 01:03:41 Wonder it wouldn't it be nice to know what what those characters say all the way up.

She would have long conversations with the staff members. Where are you from? Can you write that in Chinese as well? What's your dialect of Chinese gonna be like? And it's weird because now, being in her position, 01:44:43 watching you getting all tired and exasperated and stuff like that, it's actually strangely nice to be kind of with her. There's nothing she said that I can't get already faster with the shitty internet. Thank you very much. I look forward to looking you up. She didn't even write it right. Like, the pinyin of it. Because she knows it in Chinese. 01:45:14 She doesn't know how to say it. It's with a G. No, it's not K. It's a G. Because that's how... It's phonetic, right? It's hard for them to know, the English pinyin version. Because the second part she, wrote down K-O-N-G. 01:45:46 When you search for it, it's G-U-A-N. That's what I was wondering. I wanted her to write it down. I was sort of curious to see how, if there was a local version of it. She was going to write it down as Zeus. 01:46:48 oh we should go to the flame restaurant this is i heard about it it's western though so actually i don't know maybe i don't know they have maybe not too much cheesy wagyu patty whoa yeah char. 01:47:29 grilled tiger prawn rouging foie gras oyster sashimi not so western. push the button stay inside the bottom oh yeah zero. 01:48:01 should we try to rock, i have to take off as long as you can see. 01:49:12 oh good what did you say thank you first off thank you also for stopping i already went to that shop i'm glad you got something. 01:49:45 i think he'll really love it i think it's but especially like you should tell him the story you should tell him who it is which is also unusual like warren. but he's like i don't know if you see it but like it also said like business it's just interesting. 01:50:18 it's very chinese yeah going to war. sure there's that guy again oh that's him again yeah i like what you chose too because i really. 01:50:56 hate some most of this other stuff which is just like cheap crap like plastic crap but the one that you got was really nice.

Hope it sucks. 02:22:18 Turtles all the way down. Awkward tourists. Pardon? Awkward tourists. It'd be fun. Fun sort of screen saver kind of thingy. Turtles all the way down. It was nice looking into the water because the big tourists were like right at the bottom, and the medium tourists were sort of floating on the surface and the little tourists were. 02:22:50 trying to swim along and then they would bump into a big one on the surface and try to climb over it or VA-3200, white. It checked and it says that they close at 3 so I'm a bit like, oh shit, well that's, probably they start taking people at 3 though. 02:23:23 we've got it now so let's let's go and see if not then i don't know let's just go home or something and go to penang kitchen okay that guy's been talking to everyone. 02:24:10 trying to get them to do and i'm like you've talked to me like four times already.

Good thing he heard, I didn't. That's it. Thank you for putting up with me. 02:35:43 It's okay, baby. I get it. I get it. I get it feeling hangry. And also stressed about getting to your game on time. I hate being late. Did I mention that? But we have... We're fine. If we have an hour, yeah. 02:36:14 If we leave in an hour, we're still fine. And it isn't like... I mean, I just hate being late. But it's not like... You're out! So you're not showing commitment to this game, so you're out. Ah, they're celebrating a birthday. 02:36:46 They're nice for still letting us order and stuff. We traveled kilometers. We traveled kilometers to get here. I really appreciate how patient you are with me, Lala. I wonder if we should have... I wonder if we had said, Oh, thanks, we'll just walk there. Like if he would have canceled the whole ride, like maybe he had to drive the whole thing just to... Yeah. 02:37:20 No, at that point, it was like... Give me a good rating. Yeah. At that point, it was just like, you know, he had come all this way. Yeah, exactly. And I just wanted to not run in. I got to see turtles. I saw turtles too, going up and coming down. 02:37:51 I saw a video, a YouTube short that was like a dad carrying two wheelie suitcases and pushing two wheelie suitcases in one arm and then on one arm there was like a child who was riding the suitcases and he was like kind of holding on to her while wheeling the suitcases and then a baby strapped to his front and then like an older kid that was like skipping in front of him, all three girls. 02:38:22 And then the thing was like, the caption was like something like, this all started, you just wanted to ask for that cute girl's number at the bar. Like and all you wanted was her number, cute girl's number at the bar. Dad lied. It's quite a cool feeling to be able to, like, take your kids, like, totally take care of your kids, especially as a dad, because it's just not expected for people to be able to do that. 02:39:00 Like, when I took the kids on that road trip where I threw the cars under the table, I was like, yeah, I'm taking my mom. Good for you. Yep. You're a good mom, mom. What? You're a good non-mom. Okay. You'd be a good mom. I'm going to tell that to your mom. Don't worry. No, you're not meeting them then. 02:39:40 Thank you. I feel like you have the most delicious time with me. yeah i noticed a few of those like oh is there something there whoa it's a really nice crystal it's heavy not plastic usually these things at restaurants are plastic look what are you gonna do. 02:40:30 the stroller air conditioner i don't know i think i will go out make sure maybe not at some point. Or maybe just Setúbal. It's morning. Workout. Kinda hot. Kinda worked out yesterday. 02:41:03 Yeah. That was for sure. I consider, briefly going to be going to the botanical season. I'll take a look at how far it is away. Don't wanna. I wanna be back by the time you're done. I'll be jelly. 02:41:38 I'm jelly gameplay D&D every week. Really? Yeah. I could play another Drosteel. I mean, not hugely, but if I was really, really jealous, I would sort of look for a D&D game we could join. I would join with you. It would be nice to... 02:42:21 Like, I do miss having a group where I could play with adults. Because, you know, Kyan and Nico often try out their own thing, and don't roleplay very much, and take ages to decide anything, or have weird ideas. And I feel, as their aunt, I should feel the same. What if we sell our cargo to the elves? What? Hold on, we're guarding the cargo! Yeah, yeah, right? 02:42:52 Don't fold. Don't be a coward. Stand strong. Oh, that'd be a fun movie to watch. Also, you know, like shows to watch? Like, we have a lot of movies to get through. Movies? Do you want to take a sex break in between? Yeah. Okay. I'm back on. You're like, movies? I mean, we watched three hours. 02:43:24 and three episodes of a show at a time. Yeah, but we can take a break in between and then we can have sex and touch and stuff. No, I was just thinking of Master and Commander about the ships. of the government. There's one scene where they're getting pummeled by cannon fire and one of the midshipmen are basically 13-year-olds. 02:43:54 that are being groomed as officers and one of them is hiding behind the railing and the captain's like, no, stand tall in the quarterdeck. All the officers have to stand up and walk around even with their ships getting blown to pieces and stuff like that. Would you commit to playing something every week? Yeah, could do. Can't say why not. We'd have to just figure out when that works. 02:44:28 As long as it doesn't get in the way of the kids, of the boyos. And also it's like, what time zone should we do that in? I'll probably need to call them 10 or 10.30 tomorrow. Shouldn't be a problem. Yeah, time zone that we're in, travel days, etc. We have to get up early for us tomorrow. I swear, we have to check out at 11. Yeah, I thought it was taking until 12, but okay. 02:45:01 Oh, I don't know. I remember seeing something like that on the house rules. Maybe, maybe, right? When the check out was. And then thinking, oh, that's kind of late. So 11, then I'll think of something else for the boyos. Check out before noon, yeah. 02:45:32 You're right. Yeah. It would be nice to call them from a quiet place, like from the working area in the hotel, in our place. But it's not there. I didn't see any quiet call rooms in there, just that one big room. 02:46:05 Why don't you just do it in our room? Because it's going to take longer? Yeah, it might go on long. Usually we go on for two hours. It would be nice to be able to have room for that. What if we check out earlier? Yeah. I mean, Gudang is pretty quiet. It's usually just us. But if I call them, if 6 p.m. their time is okay, then I can call them at 10 to 12. 02:46:50 oh yeah that's going to send you send me to singapore yeah to my dutch number look at my. 02:47:33 drink look how i drank oh look at your drink also whoa that deserves a picture, Thank you. Look at my mango pepper. Ooh, nice. 02:48:04 Nice. Cute. So you're Dutch. So not the one that I... Maybe you should just, like, rename them. 02:48:41 Uh, it seems to have grouped the contacts together. So... I don't know. it's amazing i'm glad we came here. 02:49:54 but i love. Yep, I'm not a huge foie gras fan, but I want to try some and see how it's going. 02:50:34 Finish it off, then. You go ahead. Really? You don't like it enough? Not that much. I had the same release as you, but I had a little creme brulee. Kind of like, hmm, kind of tastes okay, but the texture is kind of like... 02:51:14 let's touch with the um okay they are or what or just regular fish roe. 02:51:47 oh wow this is your wak yu fancy rice thank you okay it's also very hot thank you i'll be doing a dry ice performance you can take a video oh great okay dry ice performance. 02:52:20 Wow, this is cool, man.

That's true. 02:53:41 That's a nice feeling right? Go from like angry to feeling normal again. When you what? Go from angry to feeling normal again. 02:54:35 Do you really not want the foie gras? 02:55:46 Mmm. It's so worth it. Did you try my thing already? Yeah. It's gone. Mmm. 02:56:22 Oh my god, yours is so good too. Mmm. Wow. Mmm. You've had peachy soda before, try this. I stirred it up a lot, there was a lot. 02:57:06 That's the best one. Mango and peaches are also in roe? I'm not sure. 02:57:37 I'm glad you opened the curtains to see outside. My baby likes the view. 02:58:13 So did you like the patty too? I'm like, did you forget again? Did I? 02:59:35 oh my god everything's so good even the rice is amazing yeah, even like the the kind of charcoal smoky taste of these pineapples are so good. 03:01:13 i would eat here again if we had gone if we had had enough time yeah. yep cool right even the presentation is so good even like yours with the little stones. 03:03:02 Love this. This is so good. Yours is also amazing. This is my favorite restaurant. This is my favorite food. 03:03:33 So are you? You can finish it off. Mmm, let's try a bite of some shrimp and pineapple steak. 03:04:09 Mmm, did yours also have the rice? Yep. Mmm. 03:05:03 Happy birthday over there. No, go to the side, Jimmy. 03:05:39 Happy birthday, guys. Well, picture shows that here, for the locals, this place is like special. 03:06:40 I would have everything again. This beef is amazing. 03:07:10 Oh no, that's fine. Do I want some more? Yeah, maybe. 03:07:45 We can flip it inside out, if it's easier. 03:08:21 Oh my god, this is so good. I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this. This is like real good beef. I've had mango all day. Real good beef. 03:08:53 The pepper is made from, the pepper sauce made from actual peppercorns. The rice is great. Amazing charcoal grill flavor. Foie gras was like generous. Where is peppercorn? Peppercorns. 03:09:23 Yeah, but where do they grow? A plant. Pardon? A plant. A plant, yes. Geographically, what region? Hmm. It's a plant. I didn't think it came from just one region. 03:10:00 So good. Thank you. God, oh my God, oh my God. 03:10:31 I could come back here and have all the same things. 03:11:10 It is very durian-y. You wanna skip it? Oh yeah. It's so good, the caramelization of it too. Oh wow, I'm glad I got this. I saw it there. Oh, it's very strong. How do you know? It's good smell. 03:11:48 Mmm, yum. This is actually what drew me to this place. The durian tambourine. I rather that it's unique. 03:12:32 Mmm. Wow. Oh my god. I like creme brulee now. 03:13:23 How do you feel about creme brulee? I like you. It's okay. It just seems kind of meh. It's like a sort of over-height pudding. Also, because there's usually not enough flavor, it's not offensive. It's just like, bleh. 03:13:55 Oh, this is the coconut. 03:14:36 That's for sure I have to mark. 03:15:10 Wagyu egg patty. 03:15:48 because it's saved forever do you think we should leave our luggage across the street no, just take it with us and you think we should leave it at good good bang either good day or the maker. 03:16:32 and uh you know i mean we can ask if we can leave the luggage before we take turns. Ha ha. That was so good. Mm-hmm. Definitely the best. You like it? Not so hungry? 03:17:05 That was so good. I would come back here. I'm sad we didn't come here earlier.

Yeah, sometimes you have to be careful trying to get us to go to the pick-up thing across the street like he was trying to do the pick-up over here. Also, like what happened to me where I did it not exactly, where we wanted to get picked up and it told me it was 30 minutes. So pretty there. 03:23:56 Drives nearby. Is it the same one that we had?

I think I will. I'll take a look at the botanical gardens. I think I'll probably go to that waterfall. 03:38:55 I'm glad we got to eat at that place.

Good feeling achy is good means you're ripping all the muscle fibers and getting them to make more muscle fibers That's how muscles grow and get bigger. So it's a good thing, but yeah. She also stretched a little bit so that the new muscles are growing in a full range of motion. 04:01:27 And I still feel a bit in my arms. That's good though. Climbing up and hopping, jumping on me yesterday. You were like, oh, I'm not going to be able to do it. Okay, let's try this. Again, and again. That's the best grazing for that girl. It's just fun. Yeah, it is fun. And it's so fun to do it with you. Yep. You're so cute. 04:02:02 I love it. You love birdies. You're licking it out of my nose? Yep. Oh, gross. In the corners of your mouth. Okay.

We made it start. 04:03:54 Now that you're expecting it, it'll be okay. Now we're going to run the... Now don't let that move over your mouth. Baby, don't do that again. I only have two arms! AHH! 04:04:25 We're ready. I was so lost, like, getting out of the restaurant. I was like, where is it? Like in Baldur's Gate 3. Yeah. At one time you were like, Babyyyyy, how do you get out of here? Oh, that was your rrrrrrrr. 04:04:56 Yep. Hi to all the peeps. Okay. Say it to the peeps. No, it says, hi peeps. Sometimes, even if I'm letting you go, my hair doesn't want to. I have to do it slowly, so. gradually gets in the way it's not like you have to be invisible by the way. 04:06:05 you just have to not be naked. 04:06:50 I have the key. Okay. You don't have to go right now. I'll just maximize my time. Otherwise, if I just sit here in the bedroom, I'm in time. Okay, love you, love. Love you. Bye. 04:07:46 Bye, love you, baby. Be safe. I'll try. 04:08:36 Hello? Yeah. Uh, wait long. What? You can't hear me, ba? 04:09:10 Why? Why? How about this? I can do it from my laptop, but how come I can't do it from here? Why? No, with my mic. Huh? 04:09:49 Yeah, why can't you hear me? Why, Kaya? Why, why, why? It's just my Mac. This is my, AirPods Pro. Oh, they're my new ones. Oh, no, wait. No. 04:10:26 Me? did you do anything different kuya? no you're asking like if i can hear you. 04:11:02 where's nico? oh that's why you're saying i'll have issues but this happens at work too first few minutes can everyone hear me can anyone see my screen? yeah. 04:11:57 Picnic. 04:12:29 Hmm? Face. 04:13:02 Yes, okay. Can you hear me now? I would never just not mind Colette, Colette, okay updates. How is everyone? That's exactly what you do every week. Oh. 04:13:48 How come I can't now they're gone what is happening? No. The dermatologist. 04:15:16 Yeah, good. Good. 04:16:40 Mmm. Mmm. Good. 04:17:41 Yay, yeah, yeah, so what what's the first restaurant you want to eat at? That's why I'm asking. Where do you want to eat? 04:18:28 Yeah, that's the thing it's I thought of that then but it's it's hard because It's even if the people are not the problem like it's definitely out there for a while. Thank you. KFC, really? 04:19:34 Think Nara, kuya, of what other restaurant you might have missed. You! Uh-oh. Oh no. Ah. So stressful. 04:20:57 Wow. Next six months. Yeah. Yeah, that's so hard. 04:22:40 How about you, Kyan? Nice! 04:23:39 it's okay nice oh cool so next week you're back then no you said just just not fully because. 04:24:27 it's not kind of weird that you have bid for it separately but for the tutorials and recitations a bit late. 04:25:06 What? What happened? 04:25:41 Were you just super tired? But like, physically, we weren't sick or anything. How was... 1.30 in the morning, and then you woke up at 4pm. 04:26:17 Weird! Weird schedule. So how was your first week back? New blood. 04:27:19 Hmm. Why do they do it that way? Who's them? 04:27:55 Well that counts as CCA then. Wow. Wow. Cool. No wonder you're so tired, Nico. And you weren't even up late. You weren't even up late playing board games. 04:29:24 Hmm. 04:30:23 Sounds good. It has a nice ring to it. 04:30:57 That should be Kuya. Yeah, I think that will be Minister of Princesses. And the cat also has princess dreams Colette. Her dreams are like, what if I could eat all the chocolate I wanted, what would they look like? What would they taste like? What's that chocolate from my childhood? 04:31:39 Yeah, I just thought it was such a princess dream. Like I can imagine like Aurora, like Sleeping Beauty having those kinds of dreams. What Kuya? It was good, so it was our first week back. 04:32:19 My company's first week back, well, I guess just me, really. But most people came back this week. And so everyone's kind of like, what was happening? What was I doing? And trying to do our objectives and stuff. And so it was good. There were still a lot of people who didn't return yet. So it was kind of a chill week and like a nice reintroduction to work. And Noel was like, I'm so excited to be ready to go back to work. 04:32:53 He's like, I'm so excited to just sit and code. he also felt like you know we've been doing a lot lately and we've been going everywhere, um it's been fun like trying to find a place to to work at here and we've gone to like several different cafes some worse than others like we went to one that seemed really nice because you want you know there's things you want like it's i don't like round tables for working on like i need space i don't like those tiny tiny tables i want an outlet i want a steady supply of. 04:33:29 coffee and then i want to like be able to have lunch there so we don't have to leave but i forgot, one requirement that i did not check and we went to a cafe where there was no toilet you had to go outside and into another building and up the stairs past the bowling alley and see it was so weird and then when you got there there's no tissue just a bidet just a bidet and i was like. 04:34:04 and all of the stalls were like that like they didn't even have it wasn't just that it was empty they didn't even have the holder so i was like what do people here do they're just like they just dry themselves off like dogs gross so gross so i like did the minimal amount of business that i needed to do and and shook myself off, a decent amount so i wasn't like wet with water like gross it's just dripping i'm wearing a dress. 04:34:43 what so weird so no to that cafe for sure um we're loving the the food culture here like, everywhere we've been has been really really good we went to the clan jetties there are like um like like homes by the water and i think they're like i don't know chinese clans of some sort and it's kind of nice and very heritage to walk through there but it's kind of problematic. 04:35:21 because they have a lot of shops and like they're selling things because there's a lot of tourists that go there but you take the wrong turn and suddenly you're in someone's house oops. like it's not clearly signed because they're there they live there and it's just they like the side walks and stuff they they just put some wares there like some Chinese thing so it's easy to take the wrong turn and just end up going. 04:35:52 somewhere that you're not supposed to be what else did we do we ah yesterday we went to Penang Hill there's a funicular and I was like there's no way I'm going hiking in this heat he's like yeah no let's take the funicular so we took the funicular up and then on our way funicular like a like a sort of train sort of thing but it goes up mountain so it's slanted like the rails. 04:36:24 really go up to the mountain, And then on our way down, and it was really nice, like the views were great, and we went to like a nature habitat walk thing, and Noel was happy because he was like, does this continent have green? Does this have nature that's not manicured? Does it have wilderness? And so like, we were able to see like this jungle area, so he was very happy with that. And then on the way down, there was like... 04:37:03 we just got lost i don't know there was like one way to we had to go up to get to like the upper station and or take this like meandering garden path down to get to the lower the middle funicular station so we thought we didn't really want to go up in the heat in the cement so we took the meandering garden path which did not turn out to be meandering or garden it turned out to be just like wilderness for real for real and it was like it was really hard there were parts where there's. 04:37:38 even a rope that was tied between trees because the ground is just too slippery and this was like not not because of mud or water or anything it's just ah what happened, yeah it just disappeared yeah i got tricked again. And before you know it, like, I was there in my dress. Like, I got bitten pa. And, and like, people were coming up and they're like had these water bottles and they're all sporty gear and stuff. And I'm like in my dress with my jewelry, not prepared. And it was really, it was really hard. Luckily, we found our way to a funicular station. 04:38:29 And then, and then we went the rest of the way down. But we still like went from the upper one to the middle one. We just like, there was no path. There was no trail. It was also like the back of people's, you know, yards and stuff where their dogs were. And I was like, Oh, no, we're going to be chased by wild dogs. They were kind of confused. 04:39:00 it was so hard and then I looked up the trail afterwards because the last time that Noel took me on a beginner walk I my his friends there was telling them about it because I had such a hard time and they were like that's not a beginner walk that's a hard walk and then they gave me this app to double-check Noel next time and and then I looked at that to be fair he didn't want to go on this walk either we did just get lost like we were supposed to go to Acro afterwards. 04:39:34 and we completely skipped it because it took us so long and and it was also hard so it was it was a very it was a hard grueling hike in like you know 3 p.m. heat with mosquitoes so that was not so pleasant, Well, Ate Cat actually gave me, and I have had the little stickers, but we were like in the jungle. 04:40:10 Yeah, but it's just, it's not the kind that you put on your skin. It's like, they're like patches that you put on certain parts of your clothes. And I was not prepared for that. Luckily, I did, because we were supposed to go to Acro, I did have my pants. So I had to change in the middle of a trail, like balanced precariously on a rock, not even joking. I had to put, I had to change clothes. There was no everyone. 04:40:41 There's like very few other crazy people on the path with us. There was no one there. I won't change in front of them. But I really, at least, even though it was hotter with pants, at least I was safe from mosquitoes. And not just mosquitoes, the like little plants along the way that like itch at you and stuff. 04:41:13 Yeah, they just itch near you. But grab it like, imagine you even needed rope because it was just so treacherous otherwise. To know how that happened. And no, just like my normal non-hiking black leather shoes. Yeah, but at least they were like comfortable. By the way, that's broken from the last time we went hiking. 04:41:49 I've just been wearing it. I need to buy new ones. yeah they're echoes um yeah in raffles guy we were gonna go and then and then but it was really nice to go up up the hill it was great views and a little bit of of malaysian history and stuff. 04:42:19 and then and then today we went nearby again to go to a temple oh yeah there was a hindu there was a mosque and the buddhist no wait a mosque a buddhist temple and the hindu temple all on penang hill i know right but it was the i've decided hindu temples are my favorite temples now because they're so pretty and colorful we went to one hindu temple and one buddhist temple there. 04:42:55 yeah but the problem was the problem is the hindu temples are usually just like open air so it's so pretty but it's so hot inside at least the buddhist temples are usually like air-conditioned maybe they get more money i don't know and then today we went to another the big buddhist temple here which had like a like i don't know does it make sense that it's. 04:43:27 400 feet high yeah statue the statue of the goddess of mercy so so huge yeah it's a lot of meters. Yeah, it was gigantic and it's like a whole temple complex inside. So that was fun too. But the best part of today was the food because we're 108 meters. But yeah, the food today was like the best restaurant we've been to in Penang yet. 04:44:16 And I had durian creme brulee and what is it? Wagyu salted egg rice. And what else did we have? Ah, foie gras. Rougie foie gras. Whatever that is. That was the best. If we weren't leaving tomorrow, I would eat there again. Sarap, sarap. Yeah, thinking about it ngay. 04:44:56 uh penang you mean ah okay um i was looking at no i was looking at like places to eat near the temple no it was also it was also the most expensive place that we ate at which is not expensive, not really expensive just everything here is much cheaper but this one was like maybe 50 euro, for two of us but full like we were hungry so we had entree main dessert two drinks each. 04:45:28 so it's still still good but for malaysia that was expensive really for just one person okay weird. Yeah, oh, and I've been eating all of the durian. Yeah, I use that. I use spotlight then. Yeah, diba? So cheap nga. But it was like, you know, you kind of feel bad because when we got there, there were so many people celebrating birthdays. And you, you know, you get the idea that this is like, yeah, a special thing. And here I was already thinking, can I come back here tonight? Yeah, yeah. 04:46:42 But, like, I've been sleeping on the meat, because in Europe, the beef is not so good, like, it's not like in Australia, where the beef is so good all the time, like, the average is much better than in Europe, in Europe, it's, like, very dry, or too cooked, or always small portions, and not fatty at all, and this one was so good, and I'm like, oh, yeah, we're closer to Australia. And to, like, Japan, also make great beef, and durian, durian crème brûlée, I also really enjoyed the durian pizza, huh? No, but he keeps trying it, I don't know why, I said, you don't have to like it. 04:47:39 i think he's decided that he's he's staying away from durian for a year now for a year i'm like i don't know he doesn't want to say no to a food forever. the durian i had durian cheese pizza that was amazing yeah weird no yeah it was surprisingly. 04:48:14 good enjoying very much the weird foods here yeah it is like that they're like chunks of it. 04:48:50 hmm yeah i can believe it it is it is cheaper here and it's also pretty safe it's it's kind of more chill although we might have gotten lucky because uh our one of our taxi drivers said that lots of. 04:49:22 locals are still vacationing so traffic isn't as bad and there aren't as many people i don't know maybe it gets worse but they he said that they were coming back this week so we're going to be gone but things are very cheap grab is so cheap like why would you ever take the bus. 04:50:00 yeah like how long would it be like from the edge of singapore to the edge of malaysia. oh really you took a taxi to legoland. 04:51:21 Ugh, yuck. No. 04:52:14 Yeah, banana's nice. It's more of a... It's confusing because it's by the sea. but they're not using their beach right like they have a long boardwalk and it's so odd it's all cemented which is fine but there's no like it's abrupt you can't go into the water it's cemented and there's a railing and then it's water right there so you can't you can't swim or anything and then that cement area I don't know why it's weird Noel was saying maybe it's like for a tsunami. 04:52:49 break or something but there's like another wall that's higher that's a cement wall so it feels like it is weird that if you it's a very long promenade and there's no break so if you decide halfway through that you're tired you just have to keep going you can't get out by sea or land you just have to go through it, It is a little strange and then we saw what they call the beach and it's like a patch of not very well kept sand. 04:53:21 Yeah, and they have a beach like they have the ocean there and Penang is by the ocean. So like sayang, it just seems like a little more development and it could be like a seaside type of town. Instead, it's really good for food like culinary like adventure culinary adventurers would do well here and we got our feet scraped. 04:54:14 Oh, we also had the dry frog hot pot. Not sure if dry is referring to the hot pot or the frog. Wow, okay. 04:54:52 Yeah, I don't know why people don't just fly then. it's so scary um there's like while we were going down there was uh a site like a very. 04:55:26 like a sliver of a road not really a road like just kind of cement um but it was so it's narrow it's not for a bicycle or it's not for a for a car or like a rickshaw or something like a tuk-tuk, um turns out it and it goes down the side of the mountain so it's quite steep and it turns out that at the end we saw a guy going up on a motorcycle and it was like oh it's scary. 04:55:56 how did they do it it's so tiny like it's really a tiny row it's not even a road and it goes right up the side of the mountain and there were parts where he was like, you know he would run out of gas and he had to like yeah oh no no. yeah but my knees are so sore from yesterday like at least we didn't go up. 04:56:49 but we went down it was all down ah super sore yay wait wasn't that your update last time yeah they're usually not good oh cool. 04:58:38 Oh, cool. Yeah. Yeah, it's frustrating. 04:59:48 Yeah.
