07/11/07

hollaaa holllaaa.... i'm back....

sorry for the lack up updates in my blog... ain't got the time to blog the last few days.... many things happened recently - there are good and bad but i ain't gonna elaborate on it...

after work, we went for a dinner at Hotel Istana... it was a dinner meant for Interior Designers and Architects firm and also those related suppliers... we were invited by our suppliers as well, cos a table for the night cost more than 3k each !! after dinner, Rachel, Bok and me went to Redbox at Low Yat Plaza... it was a birthday party for one of Rachel's ex-colleague... we sang till 4am !! Rachel sent me back to SPK to take my car... and it was drizzling... the traffic was very bad at Jalan Pinang behind my old office... stucked for half an hour there... managed to reach home at 5am...

*faint*

Eating Trip @ Penang
08/11/07 - 09/11/07

Day 1

Rachel fetched me from my house at around 8am.... Bok and his housemate took KTM to Kepong station and we picked them up... had our breakfast at a coffee shop nearby my house before we started our journey to Ipoh/Penang... had the famous Ipoh Chicken Rice for lunch... we took some photos here but not with my camera... :(

after lunch, we continued our journey... it was my turn to drive the car and i drove till we reached Penang island....

next, we went to check-in to our hostel... yes, it is HOSTEL.... and not a HOTEL.... hahaaa.... this trip was a budget trip, so we stayed a night at YMCA International Hostel at Macalister Road... there were 4 beds in a room with an attached bathroom... not too bad though... :) we rest in the room for a while and took a short nap... then, we had dinner at Gurney Drive with Jasmine and her boyfriend, Dylan... Joe joined us there...

eating non-stop @ Gurney Drive...

after our dinner, we were off to Batu Ferringhi... went there in 2 cars...

my colleagues....

Joe and me....

after much walking at Batu Ferringhi, we went back to our hostel... Jasmine and her bf went out to a pub in town... we were supposed to follow them, but we are too tired to do so... ended up, we hit our sack at 12-ish....

Day 2

everyone woke up at around 9am... they went for the free breakfast at the hostel without me... :P we checked out the hostel and they accompanied me for breakfast at a coffee shop at Pulau Tikus... i've been patronising this this coffee shop for more than 10 years with my family members... the curry mee was very nice... then, we went to another coffee shop nextdoor and we had Chee Cheong Fun, Kueh Chiap and pancake for desserts.... we were eating non-stop !! it was crazy man, we never feel hungry at all during the whole trip... and we ate after every 2 hours... just like babies !! :P

after much eating, we dropped by at some temples at Burmah Road... visited the Sleeping Buddha....

tired !! by the way, the Marlboro Menthol belongs to Rachel... hehee....

wow..... food again !!

we walked around Penang Road and Campbell Road... there were lots of fashion boutiques there. but none of us bought a single thing there... then, we decided to go to Queensbay Mall at Bayan Lepas... before that, we stopped at Lebuh Keng Kwee for the famous Cendol....

we just walked for a while in Queensbay Mall.... everyone was very tired... in fact, i took a short nap in the car until we reached there...
