Penang Trip

Uni has just started last week and I was hoping it would be one great week. I would say it has been rather a very happening week although nothing much good did happened over the entire week. It was just happening in a "not too good way" as early of the week was more of warming up to my research work in the lab and towards the middle of the week I received a shocking news regarding the passing away of my cousin who is just merely 35years old. Bet ya got it right!! "35years old" and he's gone back home to the Lord. Sad to say so yet you'd never know what the Lord has planned ahead for you.

Anyway, this is some wrap up of my last week which I ended up spending the past four days in Penang after the funeral. My days over there were jus filled by food~~till i drop. *winks* It was an interesting journey to and fro from Penang as my uncle drove back using the old trunk road. There were barely a few cars on the road and to my surprise, the old trunk road seems so much better than what I have perceived. The roads seems rather new and it wasnt like those old days whereby there was only one lane. There were two lanes and speed limit was only kept towards 60km/hr(when you're entering the old towns) to 90km/hr(outskirts).The one and only setback was, I had to sit in the car for 6hrs plus plus unlike using the highway whereby you could reach Penang half the time.(P.s : Nothing much for me to complain as I wasn't the one driving back *tee hee hee* - just gotta get me butt sore a little having to sit still for 6hrs.).More like taking my one last long vacation happily eating so called "jUNk food = gOod Food" *bleks*

This trip was rather unusual as I followed my uncle back. I stayed at the nice apartment up in Batu Ferringhi facing the nice sea.

This time around I ended up following my uncle; meeting up with his old friends in Penang - they were very hospitable. They practically brought us to few nice makan centres to hang out and I was more than happy to eat ~~while they chit chat *bleks*
