Penang Trip Part 1

time fies…, so quick it’s already 1 week since we all came back from penang. i was supposed to update it soon after i came back, well, i’ve seen a lot in penang, and ate a lot as well. we begin the tour at 4.30am, i fetch other members. once i ‘collected’ them all, we entered the labu toll around 5.35am. The day was still dark, and it was so cold, it was the 1st time for me to drive so early in the morning, and it’s so far away from s’ban. but i know we can make it together, we drive until the sun comes out, and we reached ipoh around 8.30am. 1st thing 1st, we go to a dim sum restaurant to cure our stomach, quite a lot of variety but not as good as i expected…, after that, we carry on our journey to next stop, the taiping zoo, the weather was very hot that day, no wind, i think we should go visit zoo malacca again sometimes, haha. and our next stop, we go eat seafood at tambun, my geographics was bad, i thought tambun was still in perak, or whatever. The dish was not bad and quite reasonable. and our next top, we should enter georgetown now, so we cross the penang bridge, the toll was jammed, and so does the bridge. Penang was huge, almost comparable to KL, and the traffics too, people from KL should have no problems about the traffic in penang, but for a countryboy like me, it was really a headache, how i wished that i wasn’t the driver. after we entered the city, we made our way to our apartment, finally, we can rest up a little. After we settled down everything, it’s oredi time for dinner, as planned, we went to gurney drive, but as expected, there’s no easily reachable parkings nearby, so we have no choice but to park in gurney plaza, and walk all the way to gurney drive, again. We reached there, so many stalls selling different local delicacies, i ordered 2 fried kuew teow, which makes me wait for around 1 hour, standing there, and luckily, it worthes it. when i reaches our tables, my friends all finished their foods and drinks oredi, some even go for 2nd or 3rd round…, jeez…, after i finished my 2nd round, we all go back to get the cars and head back to the apartment. since it’s oredi late, it’s time to rest up so that we can continue our journey tomorrow. (end of day 1)
