Weekend Getaway #2 - Penang
Salam,
Another weekend getaway for me..yeayyy!!! This time is totally unplanned and very spontaneous. It started when I voiced out that I want to visit Penang and eat all the yummy foods there. So, we gather up few of my Curtinian friend and since it is weekend so we have 8 of us.
We drove from KL around 8am, pick up a friend in Ipoh and arrived Penang around 1pm I believe or was it 2pm. The slight longer time was due to we missed the junction to Ipoh..hahaha..we laughed about it all the time. We had to make U-turn at Kuala Kangsar which is 25km away. Pheww...
We pick up our friend at Butterworth and had lunch cooked by his mother. Deliciousssssssss...! Then, the rain was pouring heavily and since we didn't plan so we kinda lost what to do that day. So, it was decided to find hotel first. Finally we found one around 7pm-ish that suite our budget and did not fully booked. When we look back at that day, we actually spent more hours inside the car instead of outside..hahaha.
That night, we had dinner at Batu Feringgi and the seafood was awesomeeee. We met the actor Ikram as well. It is located not far from pasar malam there.
The next day, we went to Bukit Bendera. It is covered with mist so we can't really see anything below. But, do enjoy the tonnes of pictures below (don't say I didn't warn ya) :)
Here are some of pictures taken at the Penang Art Street. The art was located a bit far from each other, so we rent bicycle to move around. It's around RM20 but we managed to tawar to RM15 each bike.

We do random and spontaneous things together since zaman belajar..haha
View from train masa turun from Bukit Bendera. Duduk depan sekali so boleh dapat view cantik ni :) Next we went to have lunch at the famous Nasi Kandar Line Clear and Penang Street Art. It is located at the same vicinity,

And many mores that we hadn't had time to cover. So, then we went to Gurney Hawker Street makan pasembor and then we headed back to KL and arrived home around 3am. Lucky that I don't have to go to work the next day..but I do pity my friend that who had to..haha
So, that's it, back to back weekend getaway. Alhamdulillah all went well and I'm a happier less cranky person now..hee :)
