Penang is an island with a lot of beaches but most of them polluted or over-crowded. The only few clean beaches left requires hours of hike or boat trips to reach. Since I strongly object hiking 2hrs to go to a beach (and another 2hrs back to 'civilization'), we rented a boat to go to Monkey Beach.
What happens when a tourist landed on Monkey Beach (and there really is a lot of monkeys) with some drinks in a paper bag?? Here's a pictorial explanation:- 
The verdict? Of course the 6ft tall tourist (a.k.a. my colleague) win. His shoe is strategically utilized as 'weapon' to defend our drinks against the agressive monkey. Poor monkey, it must have been its bad day to attack my colleague. After losing, it still trailed us for some distance before giving up on fighting for the drinks. I didn't know Coke can be so attractive :p
It was relatively rough with small waves (the sea is normally calm) which makes the sea colour turns muddy, but it's still acceptable. So, I spend a hot afternoon, under the tree with sea breeze blowing & listening to the sound of seawaves. If my colleague can turn into Hugh Jackman, I'm sure I'll be the happiest person in the world! Too bad...
