1st Day- 25th April
Woke up at 7.30am today. Can't wait to reach Penang. We was supposed to meet at Uncle Thomas's house at PJ. Wait, my family was going Penang with Uncle Richard and Uncle Thomas whole family. Hehe.. Then they changed their mind and meet up at a restaurant at PJ. We eat breakfast there..My mum and I just ate a little because we are going to stop at Kampar, Perak first to try the Char Kuey Teow there. Hehehe..So we start our trip at abt nine in the morning. I bought two egg tarts there so I could eat some in the car if I am hungry later on. Then boring car trips and toilet stops..Bla bla bla.. Then we reached Kampar at abt 11 something..Haha..We search for the Kampar food court and settle down, order our food. We have to wait for 1/2 an hour for the food. So 13 people sit down and patiently wait for the food on three tables.. Haha..My mum and I took the chance to walk around to look at every stall and went to the roadside pasar nearby. The Char Kuey Teow there is known as Hum Dan Fun (in cantonese).Haha..Ah Xian's show went there before and we thought it will be very very delicious. But then it taste soso only. Just less oily then normal kuay teows and less taste too.Haha..But the spicy one was quite ok.Uncle Thomas bought some sticky rice (glutinous rice) from a stall and it taste really nice! Yummy..Haha.. After filling up our tummy, we continue or journey to Penang. Oh, I ate one of the egg tarts I bought earlier and it taste really nice too. When we reach Seberang Perai, we followed Uncle Thomas to finish some of his jobs there first. Then we were to travel across te sea to Penang by ferry! My first time going to Penang with a ferry.Normally, my family went there by the bridge. Loooong bridge. Haha.. So we were waiting to board the ferry in the car, bored..My parents finished up the egg tarts and I was munching on chips and raisins I brought along. While waiting, I opened the sun roof of my dad's car to wave at everyone.hahaha.. Only Uncle Richard's family manage to see me way up cause their car was behind us. Then after 5-10mins of waiting, our car finally boarded the ferry! Weeeee! The car engines have to be switch off, so we came down from our car and stand at the side to look at the nice sea view around. I was taking care of Gwen and telling her abt the boats and ships on the way while the adults were busy talking away and planning our next stop. Assam Laksa first or Char Kuey Teow? Hmm..The bunch of monkeys were busy jumpig around and walking around the ferry.. Haha.. some pictures on ferry:
The ship we saw on the way to Penang
Finally we reached our destiny!
Our first makan stop was Lorong Selamat. A lorong with lots of stalls. Mmmm..Hahaha..We ordered char Kuey Teow, chee cheong fun and curry mee and and and Ice Kacang! haha.. Those food were really really great! haha.. Then we checked into our hotel, Tune Hotel. Really cheap hotel but very nice. Haha..I shared a room with Sharmaine, my brother with Sean. My parents one room. Sarah and small Richard one room. The adults one room each pair. Gwen with her parents. Hahaha.. Im so happy I do not have to share room with my brother. The bed room was really simple and small. Enough for two people. The beds were from good quality and the shower was nice nice nice! haha.. I went to bath first while leaving Sharmaine playing with my handphone. After a really nice bath, I unpacked some of my things and let Sharmaine decide which side of bed she want to sleep at. Then when she when to bath, I took the chance to take some pictures. Haha..I was bored.
The toilet door. You can see Sharmaine inside. The toilet door was kinda transparent. Hehe..And really transparent at the bottom and top part.

After that, we take the chance to walk around and look at other people's room. I realised that my room is slightly bigger than the rest. My parents room was even smaller.Haha.. Me and Sharmaine was lucky to get the big room. Hehehe.. Then we went to fetch Hooi Ling jie jie, Uncle Thomas's friend and our doa you ( I suddenly forgot what is it called in English >.<) She brought us to buy some nice miny ang ku kueh and then we went to have dinner at Teluk Kumbar. Seafood dinner! Yummy.. And it is by the seaside! hahahaha.. Really cool! My second time eating by the seaside with sand under my feet. Hehe.. We ate crabs, prawn, Mantis prawn, satay, and many more. Haha.. We had our dinner til night time so I get to see the sunset and the stars! Hahaha.. Really happy. But did not take picture at that time cause I was busy eating away the delicious dinner. Yummy yummy..This are taken by my brother.
The monkeys. From left- Gwen, Sarah, Richard, Sharmaine.
Then we went to karaoke. I feel its abit waste of time. coming all the way to Penang and spend the night in the room. Hmm.. But i did enjoy myself. It was a club actually. We had a private room and a private toilet in the room all by ourself. Haha.. The boys played PS in the room and the adults enjoying singing songs. I was listening to them singing at eating snacks. We stayed til midnight then we went back to our hotel to sleep. I was so tired that night. I asked Sharmaine to bath another time cause during dinner, she and the monkeys were busy playing sand instead of eating. Haha. eventhough I was tired, I slept abt 2am that night. The aircond was very very cold. I woke up at 6 to switch it off..
THE NEXT DAY...
My morning crap: ( You all can skip this part =))
We were supposed to meet up at the lobby at 8.30am so I set alarm to wake up at 7.45am. My brother thought that we must meet at 7.30am so he and Sean woke up at 6.30am. -.-" Ya..Really silly. And nevermind if they wake up early but then this Sean Yap was really annoying. I was half awake by 7 something, then I heard a knock. I let Sean in sleepily and he was finding for his clothes. I asked him why he wake up so early, he say Alex woke him up. So I just let him lo, I did not think much. Then after he left, my brother called me. He asked whether everyone was awake and at lobby ed or not. I asked him why do we wait at the lobby so early for. Its only 7+. Silly him. Then I tell him its 8.30 not 7.30. then another knock on my door. Two silly guys walk in. My brother ask again what time and so on. I kick them out of the room and try to sleep for a few more minutes. Its not even 7.30 yet and they are really annoying, keep making me walk all the way to the door to entertain them. After 5mins, another knock. Sean ask me, why he knock on his parents door and no one answer him. I grumpily replied him that every was still ASLEEP so go back to your room!! And stop coming in. haha.. Then he went off. At 7.45, I climb out of my bed sleepily. After brushing my teeth, i woke Sharmaine up. Then i let her take her bath first cause we were to sign out at 8.30 straight away. Then another knock when Sharmaine is in the bathroom. Sean taking all his clothes to my room to stuff them into the bag he and Sharmaine shared. I was to lazy to even talk more. Then while waiting for Sharmaine, I packed everyhing and tidy up the bed. After I bath, my parents were already out from their room. my mum came in and help me take my bag while I carry my pillow ad another bag down. I bring baby Gwen down too cause Uncle Richard and Aunty Sally is still busy in their room. I told my parents abt my brother waking up early and disturbing me sleep. Haha.. While waiting for the rest to come down, I was taking care of Gwennete. She is unusually quiet for the morning. Then i carry her around cause she keep following me, She was screaming for me while I was stuffing my things back into the car. "Poh Yee jie jie! Lai Lai! Guo lai!" haha.. Gwen was really tired cause she did not sleep well last night so she try to sleep while I was carrying her. I have no place to sit so I was forced to stand carrying this 10kg+ sleepy baby. My hands were very tired. I stand for abt 10 mins+ then I cannot tahan anymore. I went into the car and let Gwen lie on me to sleep. My hand is suffering the pain now too. From carrying her for too long.
We meet up with Ling jie jie again and went to a nearby restaurant for breakfast. Then she went to work while Uncle Thomas brought us to Gurney plaza to shop. Waste of time again shopping there. We should have went to Air Hitam and have a walk near Kek Lok Si instead of a shopping center. Since uncle Thomas renovated for MNG at there, so he get special discount at MNG, Nafnaf and CK Jeans and Nike. So the women was busy looking at clothes and men I dunno doing what. Kids, running around. Then they went to the game centre to play games. My mum and I went shopping around. We stayed there till noon before heading to Air Hitam. We had asam laksa there. My fav! And under the hot hot sun, we walk around and brought some biscuits.. Boring boring..Then at 3 something, we went to fetch Ling jiejie at QueensBay mall again and head off to Batu feringgi beach! She bought us to this beachside bar, so the adults can enjoy more beer while the kids played at the beach. I was bored. The sun was hot hot hot, so I was hiding under the shade, avoiding the beach. Went looking around. And when it is not that hot, I went out to the beach to take some pictures. we stayed there for 3 hours++. Abt 7 something, we left the beach and went to this restaurant all the way at georgetown to have dinner. Very far. haha.. We had this oyster mee and others. Great dinner again! The kids was all asleep so they skip dinner. After dinner, we fetch Uncle Thomas back to hotel to get his car and then we fetch Ling jiejie back to her house and thank her for her hospitality. hehe..We began our journey back to KL at 10.30pm. So I reached home at 1.30am this morning. I had a quick bath before falling back to sleep. super tired.
