3 days 1 Night Penang Trip

The 1st day of Penang was nothing much as we had spent half of the day travelling in the car. Upon reaching, it is already evening. We checked in to Gurney Condominium where we stayed at level 33. woo.. It was indeed high rise.. looked down, u will have your both legs shake if you are afraid of heights but on the other hand, you will be able to have a good view from the top ya.. so there will be pros and cons : )..anyway, i've got good pictures to share on this.

We later on went down for our lunch at gurney drive.. yeap lunch..if i am not mistaken, the time was around 4-5pm. So it can be dinner tho. Gurney Drive's main attraction is the stretch of hawker stalls and food courts that line the inner side of the esplanade facing the sea in Penang. I had Char Keow Teoh and it is.. so so only.. After that, we went for a walk along the stretch of road, and managed to took some "funny" silly u can say pictures before actually went to the Gurney Plaza to buy movie tikets. Due to the overwhelming crowds...we are unable to purchase tickets - All Well Ends Well for that day, and we decided to purchase for the following day.

We then headed to Feringgi which is centered on its 'Pasar Malam' or night market. Open from the late evenings till past midnight, i supposed where the Pasar Malam is a bazaar of make-shift stalls opened by local traders offering an assortment of goods ranging from souvenirs to snacks and clothes to electronics... also variety/choices of imitations branded goods... hoho... Fei Hung, Calvin, Jason and Nick C managed to bought t-shirts and DVD's; where prices is very cheap. It was pretty hot towards the extend it make me kind of pissed off a.k.a. "mang jang". Ish .. :) We then headed for supper before going back to the condo for a good rest..
Day 2

Woke up in the morning for Dim Sum at Restaurant Zim Sum... Food is nice and the price is also reasonable. Bao Bao... We then went to the Snake Temple... Pray Pray... then headed to Queensbay Mall while waiting for Calvin as he went off visiting his relatives there. We then settled down at Kim Gary as i am kinda lazy to walk.. at the same time redeemed my chicken wing... hoho.. nyam nyam.

At around 2pm, went to Feringgi again. This time is not for the night market... it was for the beach excitement. We really had a good time there. It is pretty hard to put all in words. Pictures will tell.. :) We went back to our condo for bath at around 6pm before going out for our dinner. Had seafood for our dinner.. Absolutely GOOD!!! -

After dinner, we went for our movie - All Well End's Well at 12.05am and that's the end for our second day at Penang.

Day 3

The 3rd and the last day we stayed at penang. Went for brunch near komtar and had a nice cendol.. Fuyoh.. even Gurmit Singh went there before.. *saw his picture in the store* .. The cendol is quite nice and for myself, i had asam laksa...

After then, we went to Kek lok si to see the biggest Kuan Yin statue ... Same thing.. pray pray for blessing from kuan yin... Take pictures... See turtles and etc etc.. haha.. The coincidence is, having the fate of meeting Kat ... Both from KL.. but met each other at Penang.. doink doink... We also went to one of calvin's relative house for visiting.. got angpow.. anothing blessing i would say. haha

After hanging for almost an hour, it was already evening, we then leave penang headed to Ipoh for our dinner - Beansprout Chicken Rice at Lou Wong .. I still prefer Onn Kee, the one i went with my dad previously. Anyway it is nice tho -.- due to the reason... I'm hungry lo.. We even had few sticks of "lok lok" after dinner before then heading straight back home to kl... It is an enjoyable trip tho majority is all guys here where exception goes to ritchie who went together with his newly wed wife.. oopss. not yet wife.. i mean gf. By the way it is important for me to stress on that we are not gay ya. hoho.. we are brothers... :) Looking forward an exciting outing again with u guys.. Cheers....
