Penang Trip

This is one rare occasion that I took leave from work. Hahaha...Reason : Father's birthday ^_^ It is a must to take leave to go home since they are not coming down to KL. Besides that, my sister have an interview with Intel, Penang. So it make it a good coincident to take leave to go home ^_^

I went home on Sunday after lunch and then head off to Penang as my sister's interview is on Monday. This give us the advantage as not to worry to get stuck in the jam when heading to Penang and get to sleep more ^_^ My dad book a room in Evergreen hotel at Gurney Drive. It is one of our favourite hotel I think as this is the hotel that my dad would book when we go to Penang.

When we reach Penang, it was raining and I'm the unfortunate one driving =.= Somehow, I manage to get to the hotel to check-in before heading out for dinner. Once we freshen up, we went to Pasar Pulau Tikus for Lok Lok, pork satay and other delicious food ^_^

After a nice meal, back to the hotel where I conquer the internet line before heading to bed. I end up sleeping with my sister and her toys =.= A polar bear, Slyvester and her favourite dog, Maggie.

The next morning I was awaken by my sister who got ready for her interview. But lucky me as I get to go for free buffet breakfast with my dad as both my mum and sister didn't want to eat. I had fun eating but there was not much variety. But I was happy with what I had. Once breakfast is done, my parents and sister head off to Intel while I happily on my laptop and went online ^_^

It was a rainy morning and it was cold. I manage to take some picture from the room window. The scenary was beautiful as I hardly get to look at mountains in KL and the way it rain on the island and in the big city is different ^_^

It was lunch when my parents and sister came back. It was check-out time. So pack everything and went for lunch. We went to a shop known as Eden for lunch then went to Queensbay Mall to shop. It is my first time there while it is the million time for my sister as it is her hang out place when she was doing her internship in Intel.

We shop a while then my sister went to send a DHL package to a friend. She went off to send while I walk round with my mother. It was a dull 2 hours as I couldn't find the things I wanted. In the end, I only bought 2 t-shirts for casual wear. It was around that time when my sister finish her errand and my uncle and aunty came to join in for dinner.

Dinner was at TGI Fridays. I do not know wht occasion but it was to celebrate something. We went in and when the waitress asked if it is anyone's birthday, my uncle pointed at my sister. Hahaha... She was praying hard that they would forget but it seems they didn't. At the end of the delicious meal, they came and sang and did their traditional TGI Friday's birthday celebration. My cousin Edwin went and join in the fun as she accompany my sister to stand on the chair and sing song. 

At the end of dinner, it was late and we head home but got stuck on the bridge. We have no idea what caused it but it took double the time to go home Taiping than the usual one and a half hours. It was a fantastic trip and it was enjoyable since I haven't had such holiday for a while.
