1st 2 days in Penang

This post will be a combination of 1st and 2nd Dec.

1st Dec - Day 1

Woke up with much enthusiasm about the trip. Dreaming of the char kway teow, kway teow th'ng and other local delicacies that my 2nd hometown has to offer. Started to pack my stuff and after packing my stuff, had to give the bag to my mum who will bring it down to the car. Mum & Dad had a wedding to attend and would later go straight to Clementi as planned.

On my side, I ironed my shirt, had a shower, went down to get lunch for Monkey & Tua Pui. Quickly consumed my lunch and off I went. Took the train to Outram Park where I changed to get to Clementi. The rendezvous for Mum, Squirtly and I.

Upon reaching Clementi, we waited for a while before the private taxi driver came. Going through both customs was a breeze. We left Clementi @ around 3 plus and reached Senai airport @ 4 something. Flight departure was 1920 hours but we went there early in case unforseen circumstances happened.

Yeah! Dunkin' Donuts!!

Leaving On A Jet Plane

Plane took off @ 1930 hours and reached Penang @ 2020 hours. Got our luggage and waited for Uncle Boy to give us a lift back to Sungei Ara. Once we got into the MPV, we headed straight for kway teow th'ng! It felt so good after eating it. Went home after that to have a shower and sleep.

2nd Dec - Day 2

Woke up to a brand new day at Sungei Ara. Liza dropped us off at Aunty Daisy's place and from there we went to have breakfast @ Super Tanker. Had curry mee, gu leng peng (AGAIN) and this pancake thingy. After breakfast, went to church =)

Just took this cos it felt nice

After church, Aunty Daisy actually wanted to bring us to this place for lunch but as most of the stalls were closed, she decided to get Chee Cheong Fun for us instead. We drove slightly down and we had coconuts!!!

This place was opposite where the chee cheong fun was bought

Coconut with Straw

Ahhh! Attack of the Killer Coconut!

Coconut died after I sliced it in 2!

Aunty Daisy's house

Rested for a while at Aunty Daisy's house before Christina drove mum and I to Queensbay Mall. I must say the view outside Queensbay Mall is magnificent! We walked around the shop lots, I bought 2 shirts from Padini, went to Starbucks for drinks, went back to Sungei Ara and rested for a while before going to Aunty Bee's place to have dinner and discuss on what needs to be done for grandparents mass tomorrow (which is today).
