Free fall...

What a day!! Gah...I don't even know who to rant or let it out to. I'd hate to think this, but somehow feeling like nobody cares frees me of being emotionally attached yet it makes me feel so secluded. Lonely much. Taxation disgust me, and the lack of understanding makes it worse. I hate being so dependant and so lost when I'm like this but the sad truth is...I am.

Anyway, I promised an update on a short holiday I had a while ago. For the majority of you who don't know, I was in Penang for a holiday with the family. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Warning: There will be LOTS of pictures of food and nothing else. You have been warned.

Penang Day 1, 5th December 2008.


On our way.


Serene much.




Fiddling with the camera.


Green, green, and more green!




Tunnel bustle.


The toll prior to the Penang Bridge. It was extremely hot, the roads were jammed up, and the car air-cond chose to die on us on the spot.


Crossing the bridge which wasn't really much.






Finally reached Penang at 2pm-ish, without lunch.


Random.


Something Kay Elle do not have...a kiosk just for motorcyclist.



Met up with Aunt Winnie and she took us for lunch nearby our apartment @ Tanjung Tokong.


Hokkien Mee a.k.a. Prawn Mee. Way better than any prawn mee in Kay Elle.


What would Penang food be without their famous ABC? (Ais Batu Campur or Mixed ice in literal translation).


Mee Mamak, or rather their Indian mee. This was really yumz. Can't get this anywhere in Kay Elle, for real.


Yummy 'muah chee'. See, I got it right. xD


This was probably the best char kuey teow I've tried during the whole trip. Penang honestly has the best char kuey teow! Food haven! Okay, I'm getting carried away.


Dessert.

Then we headed towards the apartment which was nearby.


Kereta mayat? Literal translation would be "Corpse car". lawl.


Rawr!


Master bedroom.


Andrew's and my bedroom.


Here's the best part! Check out the sound system! Hence, we watched about 6-8 movies during the entire time we were there! Awesome much.


The owner of the apartment must be a real Snoopy fan.

After checking in, having a slight rest and all, we went for dinner later in the night. Uncle James and Aunt Winnie drove us to Batu Feringghi for dinner at a very popular hawker centre. You'll be surprised...the food was awesome!


See what I mean by popular?


Sorry, lighting there was terrible. This was the oyster by the way.


'Ikan Bakar' or Grilled Fish in English.


Fried popiah, sorta.


Cantonese Yee Mee. The taste is very very unique compared to the local ones here.


Oh wait, I think this is the Cantonese Yee Mee. No idea what was the one above. Short Term Memory Loss. >.<"
Dessert. Same thing as lunch.


Satay!


Food aside, this is a drink called Ambra. Its from some sort of fruit and again, another Penang specialty. A must try.


Took a stroll around after dinner.




Finally, had supper from a very famous Ramli burger stall, cooked by a Chinese. And honestly, the way they cook was also very different from the Kay Elle Ramli burger! Yumz...


Good night Penang!

Day 2 coming up.
