Penang Getaway!

One week since my visit to the island of Penang! And I'm definately going back!

Who's coming with me this time? Bestie, road trip??? =D

Day 1-Sat 22.3
Sleep deprived the whole exam week. What difference will one more day make? Didn’t sleep much due to dad deciding to go last minute and me taking 135375 hours to pack as usual. Figured I could catch up with sleep in Uncle KC’s car. =) Left Kay Elle at bout 10am. And all I could think about was how long the ride was gonna be. Ughhh…so for about 5 hrs or so my boredom was being teman-ed by random conversations, my mp3, handphone, mags and junk food. Oh! And sleep which wasn’t a lot coz it was kinda uncomfortable.

Stopped by Bidor for lunch and to buy biscuits specially from there.




Finally the Penang Bridge! Didn’t know it was THAT long. Last time I took the ferry to Penang and that was ages ago.







Rounded the city quite a while b4 we could find our hotel. Stooppid one way roads in Penang I tell you. Make a wrong turn and you do the whole thing all over again. No U-turns whatsoever. Making a 5 min ride 25 mins or more. So fugging frustrating!!!
Finally, Trader’s Hotel in sight!!








Checked in and what not. Went out shortly after to jalan jalan. Get to know the place. Went to the famous Ghee Hiang to get their Dragon Eye Ball Biscuits.



Then to Gurney Plaza for shopping! The place is pretty good actually. And really packed too.Then to Gurney Drive for makans!
Later was driving around and to Queensbay Mall-the new mall in Penang! Again, repeated the route like 5 times coz we kept taking the wrong turns. Ishhhh…! I was so sick of sitting in the car by then. Reached there in the end.
Forever 21! My love! Had to get sth!


Heart this dress. But there was a defect so I MUST find it here in KL!!








Back to a hawker near Traders for supper. Then to the hotel’s pub for some drinks and back to the hotel room at bout 1. Shower, plan the next day’s destinations, teevee and then sleep at 3/4? Exhausted man I tell you. Again, lack of sleep! =S



Day 2- Sun 23.3
Up and awake early in the morning! Pretty sky~~







Dim sum for breakfast! Different style compared to KL. IF you were there, you'd get it.

Hailed a cab to Penang Hill. Screw the cab drivers there man. Simply charge! And they don’t run on meters. Got there. Train to go up. Not the greatest ride up to a hill. Good view tho.

















The wooden train they used sometime ago..

Decided to get a henna tatt...=)
The guy was really nice. Let me bargain to 15bucks.





This wtv u call it was HUGE!!! Amazing really..


Going down.....



Goodbye Penang Hill!

ASIA CAFE, Penang Hill peoples!!
Lunch. Then to Kek Lok Si Temple by cab.
Walked up to the place. Tiring. But worth it I guess.
Passed by alot of shops. And this tortoise area =)








Oooh...This place below was scarry for me. Dreamt about it few years back. Amazing that i still remember it. The lady statue and the place is so alike. Actually pretty much the same. Told Dad bout it. He was SO curious. Kept looking ard for like a sign or sth. XD But! still creeping me out man!


Rushed back to the hotel to check out at 4pm. Shower, change, pack and some camwhoring =) b4 that.









Then to the wed fair my dad's frens were having in the ballroom. Uncle KC made this huge egg!!!Happy Easter!! It was Easter Sunday!!!
More of Uncle KC's artwork~

Life's a masquerade...as always




Got a show on! Plus this is tiring. Update this post soon! Hard work man....
Back soon! Loves!
