To Penang.. Again..

Well, as most of u would have known, I left for Penang on Monday and came back about 5 something yesterday evening.. So how was the trip? Pretty fun and nice.. Not much people since we went on a weekday.. So driving was pretty smooth.. Plus the idea of being 'lost' in Penang can be at times fun and confusing.. LOL!!

So left Seremban about 3pm with Wen Shan, Jong Hoong and Choong Meng, Wen Shan being the driver (have to thank him a lot, seriously, driving over 900km is no easy task!!).. Reach KL about 4pm and all of us except Khoo enjoyed (or more like searching for something) in Jalan Imbi.. After that left KL for Penang at around 7.30pm.. Travelling at night is sooo much more cooler (as in temperature) and nicer, since maybe u can speed a little without getting caught.. Stop by at Bidor to have our dinner, Wan Tan Mee.. Boy, gotta be the most expensive Wan Tan Mee I've ever ate, but it's soooo worth it.. Delicious.. Continued our journey and hit the ferry around 11.30pm.. It's nice sitting on the ferry at night, u get to see the night lights on both the island and the mainland.. So in the end reached our 'hotel', YMCAPG around 12.30am.. Headed for supper, Bak Kut Teh at 1am.. Haha.. And then lights out, kinda.. Couldn't sleep till 4am.. LOL!!

Next day, went to market in Penang road for breakfast and walk around the area.. Food was delicious and reasonably priced.. Places we hit was a second hand book store and KOMTAR.. After a short nap we head for the Cheong Fat Tze Mansion.. It's a mansion alright.. Super huge, imagine a house with 220 windows.. =S And a guy with 8 wives.. Quite a nice tour and a good tour guide.. So money well spent.. Batu Ferringhi was next, just lepak at the beach, taking photos.. After that dinner at Gurney Drive, at some hawker centre, delicious food.. And lepak for a while around Gurney and in Gurney Plaza.. Was dead tired after that and everyone hit the sacks early (midnight is early)..

And on the final day.. Again breakfast, more like brunch at the same place on Penang Road.. Then headed to a some places to buy some biscuits and stuff and a drive back to Seremban.. Was about 12.30pm when we hit the ferry.. A late lunch at Burger King and reached Seremban around 5.30pm.. After that, back to the normal, routine, boring life..

Penang was so much fun.. Maybe a little short, should have make it 4 days but well, it was a fun trip.. Will try to get some pics up once I get them from my friends.. Have a nice day.. =)
