Penang

Today is going to be a good day, I can feel it. Finally a rest day, after so long, am thankful for today even if it's just 9.37 in the morning now! And rest day means blogging day!

Got back from my second Penang trip with tzelin and tzelin's dad! This time Lixin could make it too! This was three years ago:


Us with our extremely epic pictures. Anyone who's in a bad mood can just go and take a look at tze's album of penang pictures, laughter is guaranteed (Y). I was also much heavier then haha, can u tell?

Penang was equally awesome this time, I love allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the food there. Wanton noodles, char kuay teow, iced milo, barley, lok lok, dim sum, duck mee sua *v* Sneak peak:








Their small hawker centres were super old school and cool. Checkered tiles and dented metal chairs and wooden tables and stained floors... feels like I'm back in olden Singapore. The food was srsly the best, massive thumbs up 10/10 happiness guaranteed!

It was really nice to see tze's grandparents and family again, her granddad is so cute he practises his english "Good Morning!" and is always so smiley, grandma was really nice too, they made us feel at home! <3



We left SG on a night flight on the 4th July Thursday and I was quite annoyed with myself because I forgot my toothbrush and sth tze asked me to buy... plus my bag died that night too. BAD START D: Reached Penang at midnight, tze's nice uncle came to fetch as usual and tze's dad bought me toothbrush from 7-11, thank you :)

Friday, we woke early at 7am and headed over to the hospital for tze's check up! Lx and I watched Running man on her iPad during the wait,



and we had dim sum for breakfast!!! And then, the shopping begins! :D Caught a movie <Badges of Fury> and we started laughing in the middle of the show... not because it was funny but because it was really so ridiculous. I guess the humour in the show was too different from ours haha. For e.g., the policeman on bicycle can FLY with his bike and bounced past buses on a busy road, and when it bounced, there was the SuperMario Sound Effects OMGGG That part I really cannot tahan, laughed damn long. And he crashed into the bus and broke the windows and crashed out of the bus and broke more windows and was absolutely unhurt and in zero pain and continued running HAHAHAHAHA. But it wasn't a superhero show! It was just a police show!!! It ended weirdly too haha wasted my $ but good experience nonetheless. At least I had my caramel popcorns :D

Saturday was a great exploring day! We took the train up to Penang Hill and had fun walking around, it's a beautiful place. There's this signboard everywhere that says "You haven't been to Penang if you have not gone to Penang Hill"... which means this is my first trip to Penang haha.  


SO GU NIANG RIGHT! This is a fake pic hahaha I had tons of unglam but I didnt save them to my com so I'm lazy to upload them! But the zhong dian is, can u tell how lang man the place is! :D


It's damn sad I mostly have pics of myself in my phone only because all of the real pics were taken using tze's real camera and she hasn't upload them! So it's just my face for the time being!

We went to The Mugshot Cafe for dinner, tze's auntie brought us there, and it was so atas! *v*








Gugu brought us to see the murals after dinner! There were so pretty but my stomachache ruined it :/ Worst stomachache I ever had, I couldn't stand straight haha. Here are my photog masterpieces of my friends! 






It was Penang's Heritage Day on Sunday and tze's dad brought us to GeorgeTown! Such a beautiful place Penang is.








These were taken using my phone when tze's camera died! The murals were *v* and I got to try out ice ball from the olden times and went into many old shops selling vintage stuff and all. So pretty, Penang is now in my top countries list hehe. Caught another movie, Andy Lau's <Blind Detective> which was creepy but not bad! :) Ended the trip on a really nice note with Macs Bfast at Penang Airport and left on Monday morning's flight!

Thankful to Tze's family, especially her dad for bringing us around all the time! I really want to head back again when I grow up, Penang, 等我!:D
