BRING YOU TO PENANG!

So yes, here i am to do an update again.

Arts Appreciation presentation had caused me to be sleepless for the whole night. And finally, it's over. Will be getting the marks next week. Next, the mosaic piece. I have yet to get the materials at all, or rather, i have not even plan what am i gonna do for it too. Will be meeting up with the classmates, Melissa, Melanie, Iggy this sunday morning to pay Art Friend @ Bras Basah a visit!

Siemens old promoters are having a get together this coming Saturday at Sentosa. But i'm not sure whether i can make it, as i've many things on hand now.

Oh well, let me get back to the 3 days Penang Trip.

DAY 1

The whole family rushed off to Airport early in the morning bout 6am to meet up with my mom's colleague and her family as well as to catch the plane to Penang! The Queue was freaking long, but thanks to the promptness of the people serving us, we did not queue for long. Like they say, Singapore has the number one Airport. Haha.

So the ride was a short one, and we reached Penang in about one hour.

We rented a Car there too!

The car was pretty cool, equipped with VCD player and stuffs but we did not utilise them at all. We didnt bring any VCDs along too. So yeah, i was sleeping through out the journey whenever we sat in the car.

We made our way to the hotel called ParkRoyal hotel to check in first before heading to our first destination.

The hotel is superb! The rooms were rather spacious and cozy, with a nice toilet and a balcony too. And yes, we were facing the BEACH! The balcony allows us to catch sight of the bravura views of the beach and all. Wee!

We then moved on to our first destination- THE FRUIT FARM. Okay okay, you might think the fruit farm must be some kinda lacklustre trip, but no! It was rather interesting actually. I get to view the different types of fruits that Singapore doesnt have at all, as well as getting to taste them!

Look at some of the special fruits.

We had lunch at the fruit farm too. The buffet lunch was quite okay, and one thing good is that they hace unlimited free flows of the different types of fruit, including expensive fruits like MANGO, JACKFRUIT blah blah blah. I love eating fruits.They also had different kinds of fruit juice too.

Look! Leney, they have free flows of your favourite "red pear".

The food. The picture makes me hungry now.

This is their signature dish- BBQ BANANAS.

I think it doesnt really have much difference from the normal banana, cept that its kinda soft and soggy with the syrup on it. And it is too sweet.

This is the lil boy that i adored most during the trip, Zhong xian.

He is so sweet. He picked flowers for me! Haha.

So we went back around late afternoon, took a rest and headed out for dinner at night.

DAY 2

This is the most strenuous day among the 3 days. Because, we went on a HIKING TRIP, to climb the Penang Hill.

At the entrance, they had many small stores selling ice-cream. But, take a look at the amount of cones!

At the start.

This is my dad and the lil boy. They were the first two in the whole row of us.

This lil boy is really lovable.

The hiking trip was truly an experience for me as i didnt climb one before, it was really arduous but nonetheless, it was fun and i believe everyone of us had fun too! :)

A view taken halfway up the hill.

We all climbed to a certain point after 2 hours and it began to drizzle. Because of the drizzling, we could not continue the hiking trip up to the Penang Hill. We all rested at this shelter, had some food and drinks, before making our way down in another direction.

The food we had was some biscuits that my mom told me this was what they alway had when they were young. But nowadays, it could not be found anywhere at all.

We had lunch after that at some hawker and yes, i get to eat the famous PENANG LASKA!

And this caught my eye. BASKIN ROBBINS!

How i wish Singapore have Baskin Robbins outlets located here.

We then head back to the car to make our way back to the hotel and then, this sign caught my attention.

EH??!

We went for a simple cruise at the later part of the night to view the famous Penang Bridge.

The Penang Bridge, as what the person says, is a super long bridge and is essential for cars to travel from Mainland to Penang.

The SUNSET we saw. Beautiful. :)

Now, lets go on to day 3, which was a short one.

DAY 3

Day 3 was the most enjoyable day! Because we get to hit the BEACH! It was a free and easy day, so together with my mom colleagues, we move our butts to the beach and tried out the different kinds of water sports! It was damn FUN FUN FUN!

Firstly, we had the JETSKI. My favourite one of all.

Apparently my cap dropped into the middle of the sea while we were on the jetski.

Dad and Mom tried the Jetski too. So sweet. Haha.

Secondly, we tried Parachute! COOL!

Lastly, the BANANA BOAT. FUN!

And a picture of US!

Well, thats about it folks. Am gonna turn in. Night!
