I am back from Penang!

Finally.
Well, it has been an enjoyable trip, except for the fact that two thirds of the journey was spent on the journey to and fro there.

The first day when we arrived, it was already late at night about close to 11pm. The 12 hours journey, (YES, 12 hours) was really a test to my bladder system man.
Nevertheless, the 2nd day made up for it I guess.

Alright! Pictures pictures!


Day 2 - Penang



Breakfast at Sunway Hotel. :)

After breakfast, we went to the marketplace that my Mum and Dad has been dying to go to. It's not that bad lah.

Crowded marketplace

We hired a cabbie to take us around for 40RM per hour. I don't know if it is considered cheap, but I definitely would not do such things if I am travelling alone. Waste of money!


The 2nd destination that we went to, Bukit Bendera - I really have no idea what it is for because we were so rush, and we ended up only getting down to take a picture and off we go.

Me and sis ;p

The third destination is the famous Snake Temple, known for obviously, the snakes.

Sis and me

Oh and there are really cute monkeys at this Snake Temple. They are so adorable I want to bring them home man! I'll show you why.


so cute hor!


they don't bite!


Mum feeding monkey nuts!

*soooooo kawaii*

The next destination was yet another temple, a Thai Temple with apparently the longest sleeping buddha in the state.

me,me,me!

Okay, then off to the second last destination of the day - Batu Ferringi. It's a very beautiful beach, I am sure to return there when I go to Penang again.


sis and me!
I REALLY looked like the older sis.
:S


Don Don and Me

The last destination of the day was Komtar, which is a high building with shopping mall at the lower levels. Well, it wasn't fantastic but I did bought some new clothes from there! :]

We took rickshaw back to hotel! :D


Hahaha look so happy for what sia.


Dad!


Don Don and Me

The highlight of the whole trip was really this secret I am hiding - Pierre Png was in Penang with my family! Lol. Don't believe? I have picture evidence!


Pierre Png with my family! :]

Haha. Okay, he was really staying in my hotel (Sunway Hotel) and we had the pleasure of bumping into him everyday at the breakfast buffet line.

What was so embarrassing was this time where my sis, don don and I were in the lift with a TV crew (we were not aware he is a TV crew), and my sis was like contemplating whether to take picture with Pierre, and I said, "Huh, don't want lah! I rather take picture with Wu Zhun."

Then I was smacked right in the face when we saw the TV crew walking towards Pierre and talking with him. Urgh!

In the end, while we were eating outside the hotel, Pierre happened to be eating at the same place, my Dad took the initiative to ask him for a photo with his "daughters". We were all so shy can! But he was really very friendly, kept chatting with us, and was shocked to know we were from Singapore. Haha, I wonder why.

As you can see in the photo I looked like crap, and Don Don was still sore about the fact I pushed him to the end when I saw Pierre Png, LOL! But Dad claims he is the greatest victim of all - being the one who asked for a photo yet he was really the one being pushed to the back. HAHA! :P

Pierre is really very charming lor. Exudes this manliness that makes man wanna turn gay for him. HAHAHA! Was really taken aback when he rushed towards us as we walked away, to tell me that my handphone was dropping out and asked me to be careful. SO SWEET LAR! I am so voting for him if he is nominated for Stars Awards or something. HAHA!

Day 3 - Penang


The very last day was basically just breakfast at the hotel and off we go. So before setting off, we took as much pictures as we could at the hotel. Haha.


breakfast!


Mum and me


Hee. :)
She looks kinda cute here.


Sisterhood!


Family Shot! :)

Me and Don Don

And below are really just random pictures me and Don Don took because our in-built games and TV system was faulty. 12 hours of bus ride makes us insane.










Lol.
This is not mirror image.
It's. Just. US!

Well that's all for our short get-away.

Me and Don Don rushed to Nish's house right after we got back at SG to celebrate Deepavali! :) She was due to go back the next day, and we were there to send her off at the airport too.

No tears this time round, but we will definitely miss her! Our clubbing kaki. :[

Alright, I am going to sleep now! Morning class tomorrow, and Sunday class this week. Madness.

Night all!
