Pantai Keracut

It has been almost 2 months since our trip to the other side of Penang Island, Pantai Keracut. I have heard of that place many many times but this is the first time i'm there. It's located somewhere at the end of Teluk Bahang. You can get there by taking a boat from the Teluk Bahang jetty or if you are athletic enough, you can hike all the way there. It should take around an hour or so...depends on your physical fitness.

So, our trip started out not as well as we thought. The guys were almost an hour late, our friend brought his pet dog which then later have to be send home by his sister. After all the huru-hara and some breakfast. We then went up the boat and head to Pantai Keracut.


Pantai Keracut...here we come....

As usual we reached there full of excitement. We were supposed to have 2 tents but we ended up with 1 perfect one...for the girls, definately and a cacat one. All because they couldn't find the metal thing which give the tent support. After setting up everything, we went fishing. Me, Yeow, Jimmy decided to go to the spot which we feel there's fish. Kern and Edison then tag along. We were enjoying our fishing when Pang came to crash the party by walking on the edge of the water. We went like...ARGHHHHH...that fella scare away all the fishes. Eventually, i believe in karma...Pang got punished for what he did. He got buried.


Karma...Pang....what goes around...comes around..

With all the playing and the joking under the hot sun. We soon got tired and hungry. So one by one went and get ourselves a good shower and then get ready to cook some food. Edison says he's a 'cong por' (a cook in hokkien) so we let him do all the 'hard' work. He started out by getting the fire started with charcoal and stuff. We waited and waited for the water to get boiled which it didn't. Then Ah Bit came, without even waiting for the water to get boiled, he threw 2 maggie mee inside. WAH.....damn....me and Kern took a look at him.

Then...our saviour came to the rescue. With a switch of the gas....he cook us a decent meal consist of maggie mee and mushroom soup. Pang....we just love you for that....and that only. After eating, Yeow (the fisherman), Jimmy (the amature fisherman), Kern (Mrs. Fisherman), Edison (the troublemaker) and Tong (sleeping beauty) decided to go fishing at the other end of the beach leaving me, Pang and Ah Bit.

Me and Pang decide to take a nap during that time but was unable to do so due to the disturbance Ah Bit was causing. With Edison's HP, he was wearing the ear piece listening to the MP3s and singing to himself. Can you imagine that, he was singing the songs all out of tune, so loud cos he can't hear himself, even the neighbours couldn't tahan and laugh at him. Soon after Pang couldn't handle it anymore and decide to start the fire to prepare for dinner. Ah Bit eventually went close to Pang, with his eyes staring at him and continue singing his lungs out. Damn...was that the highlight of the trip.



Yumm....

As the days turn into night, we have our dinner then group together like all campers do. We chat about the day and joke around. With only one good tent to sleep in, the guys went to the bridge. Leaving me, Kern and Ah Bit. After a nap, me and Kern went to look for them. Wow the bridge was full of people and it was cold too.

Pang and Edison team up to disturbed Jimmy, not wanting him to sleep. They then eventually got tired and want to sleep themselves. The girls beside Edison have this very comfortable blanket, so he...went closer and closer and eventually sleep beside the strangers. Crazy fella.


All the fun....at night....

The trip eventually came to a near end in the morning. We pack out things getting ready to leave the beach. While waiting for the boat to come pick us. Kern brother came and join us for a while. Then it started to rain......

Wouldn't it be more fun if it rained during the night......?

We're looking forward to another trip there. It was hell a lot of fun.
