Penang Trip - Day 3

The third day began as usual with breakfast in the Red Inn Court hotel. Then, the threesome of Wing Fei, Yong Jie and I walked to take ferry to the Penang Mainland.

First stop, we planned to go and eat dim sum for breakfast at Raja Uda but then the restaurant is under renovation. So we ended up having Bak Kut Teh at 吴家庄肉骨茶. We then went to 北海斗母宫. There, our fellow CBE coursemate, Poh Ai joined us. After that, we went to have 牛奶面 at Auntie Kim before went to take photo with another mural.

For lunch, we went to eat the famous 大山脚芋头饭. After lunch, we went to visit Bukit Mertajam St Anne's church. There, the Hyundai gang got a bit of telling off by a man working in the church because Wing Fei was imitating the Rio Jesus stature(lols). After the visit, we went to have ice kacang and cendol at New Cendol House and sat there chilling out a little playing our smart phones.

For the next stop we went to 紫微园 to have 'light' dinner. After that, we went to the seaside to watch the sunset and took some photos.

I have no idea why they called it 'light' dinner

Perfect company for the beautiful sunset. NTU CBE ROCKS!!!

After sunset, we went to eat 光华 tom yam mee for dinner. 

We then went to Dexter's house to chit chat and play UNO card. Lastly, Jing Hao fetched us back to Georgetown across the first Penang Bridge. 

Penang Trip - Day 2

The second day began with Wing Fei, Yong Jie and I having breakfast in our hotel, Red Inn Court. I had a plate of beehoon and two pieces of toast bread along with some watermelons. After breakfast, Lishan and Jing Hao arrived separately in our hotel and Lishan fetched us to Beach Street hawker centre to have nasi lemak. True to Dexter's words, the nasi lemak is a must try as it tasted and smelled good. Dexter, Kee Yong, Cheryl and Gai Win arrived a little later than us and had their nasi lemak before the whole lot of us set off to tour Georgetown.

The highlight of the day was that we toured Georgetown and visited the famous murals to take selfie. Before we set off to visit the murals, we went to 姓周桥 to have a walk. I met my fellow cadet reporter, Wei Jin there as she too have a short trip in Georgetown with her university friends after uni exams. Special thanks to Wei Jin for helping us to take a group photo of us looking towards the sea. I also bought myself a Los Angeles Lakers cap at the end. 

Met Wei Jin =D

After 姓周桥, it's time for the famous Penang murals! Special thanks to Dexter and Cheryl for taking those amazing shots. Here are the photos:

Lovely cartoons murals. *Peace* 

Opps! Sorry for the kiss. xD

Thanks for taking me along this amazing ride.

After the murals, we went to rest at a postcard shop while Dexter, Lishan and Jing Hao went to get their cars. I bought some postcards there. 

铺屎卡 HAHAHAHA

Next stop, we headed to eat the Penang famous chendol and ice kacang. Then, we went to Lorong Selamat to taste the famous Kafe Heng Huat char koay teow. The auntie selling the char koay teow has a reputation for bad temper and will get pissed off if you rush her for the food. Lishan got a bit of scolding from the auntie selling the char koay teow for requesting the char koay teow without tau geh. It's a bit overrated in my opinion and one plate of char kuey teow costs RM10!!! ==

After that, we went to two Buddhist temples. There, we prayed for success in university and life. Hahaha so typical of us as university students. Besides, one man was so nice to give us a big pack of fish food to feed the fishes. =D

Happy faces feeding the fishes. =D

Next, we went to sing karaoke at Paragon Mall. There, we attempted a birthday 'surprise' for Jing Hao(though it's pointless because we went to Penang in conjunction with his birthday). I must say he didn't do a great job at looking surprised since he kept asking where Dexter and Cheryl went when they went to buy his birthday cake. But oh well, at least he's still happy =) : 

 Happy Birthday Jing Hao!!! =D

For dinner, we went to Gurney Drive hawker centre. There, we had asam laksa, penang hokkien mee, rojak and rice noodle roll. Then, we went to have a walk nearby the sea and chilled out. After that, we went to a dessert shop to eat apple and mango ice cream pancake. Gosh, it tasted wonderful!

Desserts time!

Before we ended the day, we went back to the hotel and gave Jing Hao his 21st birthday present: CONDOM! (LOLS!) We did this in the presence of Cheryl who just sat on top of the double decker bed and watching videos on her phone, hahaha. After that, we played a guys' game but I couldn't and will not share it because I'm tied to bro's code. =/

Penang Trip - Day 1

Hello, dear readers! Welcome back for another update on the latest stories of my holidays life. Recently, I went to Penang for a four days, three nights trip with my university coursemates from 16 to 19 June 2015. It was certainly a wonderful trip for me personally because I don't get to travel often. Therefore, a short getaway to the historical island of Penang with my university coursemates no doubt added some great memories to my university years as a whole. So, I will be detailing the whole trip with several posts which I hope will be a delightful read to all the readers out there. =)

On the first day of trip, I reached Penang by taking Firefly airline at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah or Subang Airport . It was my first time taking airplane since my 2010 trip to China. My dad fetched me to the airport and sent me off. The plane took off around 6pm and reached Penang International Airport around 7pm. The landing was not so pleasant because it was a minor hard landing. It was kinda cold in the Penang International Airport and luckily Dexter reminded us to bring jacket. I met Wing Fei near the exit pickup point there and was the second last to arrive(Jing Hao was the last). While waiting for Jing Hao, we chatted a little at the exit pickup point. After Jing Hao has arrived, Dexter fetched us to our hotel:

Red Inn Court, Penang

For the entire trip, Wing Fei, Yong Jie(Ah Fit) and I stayed in Red Inn Court. It was a budget hotel and costed the three of us RM75 in total for each day. Certainly, the price is very much affordable and there is no reason to complain at all if you're not that picky. 

After checking into the hotel, we went to have dinner at Chulia Street. For this part, I'll just let the pictures do the talking(lols):

After dinner at Chulia Street, we went to have yogurt at The Mugshot Cafe nearby Red Inn Court. We ordered four cups of yogurt with kiwi, jackfruit toppings. Besides having yogurt, the cafe has a few entertainments and nice spot for selfie. Boys being boys, all the guys had a hand in playing the table football game. Had a fun time playing the table football although couldn't manage a win(Yong Jie ruled again). After the table football game, most of us(except Gai Win) played Jenga. I played in only one of those games and luckily wasn't the one that lost in the end. We spent the rest of the time in the Mugshot Cafe taking selfies. Here are some of the photos taken:

The soul that sees beauty, may sometimes walk alone.

Being charged again for being priceless. LOLS

After Mugshot Cafe, we went to 7-11 to buy mineral waters and then went back to the hotel to conclude the first day.
