Went to Penang on 7th Dec and back in KL on the 11th.
It was a post-A-level trip, not to mention it was my first time in Penang, and first time flying (by plane of course, and alone).
It was not a family trip. I went there to meet up with Choong, Eric, Mizan, Christine (all KTT-ians) and had Jimmy and Edwin (Choong’s wonderful friends) to join us.
I’m not going to blah a lot here (holidays make people lazy). So I’ll just mention the important stuff…
First, my mobile phone had a culture shock. It turned into a super troublesome gadget once I landed in Penang, just to name a few, frequent blackout and spontaneous shut down, which made communication very very inconvenient. Ish!! The worst thing is, the problems still persist even till now.
Second, we went to various tourism sites, including Kek Lok Si Temple, Gurney Plaza, Queensbay Mall (not shopping spree ah) and some other places which I don’t remember or don’t even know the name.

The newly constructed pavilion housing Guan Yin statue. I think we missed the officiating ceremony by 1 day earlier or later.
Meet up with Christine on the 4th day at Queensbay Mall where this retarded photo was taken. XD Haha…
Third, Penang delicacies. I didn’t try much Penang food (I mean the ones which Penang is famous for) due to many reasons but I still managed to have a sip of nutmeg juice, some Char Kui Teow and rojak. Hope to revisit Penang again!
Last but not least, million thanks to Choong and his uncle for providing comfortable accommodation as well as hospitality, and Jimmy and Mizan for providing transport and driving us around and across the island. Oh ya, TQ Christine for meeting us even though you were suffering from food poisoning and diar… throw up.
Hope to see you guys again (KI should not be the reason) and happy holidays!!!
P/S: I need to brush up my Hokkien to prepare for future uses. Or, I can pretend to be a banana as this can solve most communication difficulties in places like Penang.
