Penang

I just got back from Penang yesterday.. Actually more like Butterworth cos we stayed at Uncle Alfie's house.. Attended Danee's wedding on Sat night.. Still find it hard to believe that she's married.. She's still like such a baby to us..

Melissa took us to all the good spots to eat in Butterworth - Pokok Ceri Pasembor, Mee Goreng and Mee Rebus.. a small stall that only opens at night selling Char Kuey Teow.. Satay Rojak buah (this one was just addictive)..

Bought a dvd - Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham and we watched it from 1230am to 4am.. It wasn't the first time we were watching it (hmm ok maybe Joel being the exception lol).. So it was really fun as we could remember most of the dialoges.. singing along to the songs.. laughing at the jokes even before it was played.. That was the first night!!

On the second night, after the wedding.. we got back home, changed and headed over to Penang.. Took the ferry and it was really nice.. I have not been on the ferry to Penang in many years.. (It was the first time for Joel, lotsa first for him on this trip lol).. We then drove along Gurney and finally decided to chill at Bukit Ferringhi, at this really secluded spot.. There was a bistro there by the sea.. we chilled there for a couple of hours.. with the waves crashing, under the blanket of sky and stars, with the swaying of the coconut trees.. All us girls wore our heels there cos we didn't know initially where we would be going.. haha.. Had to take off our shoes as we definitely couldn't walk on the sand with them..

After chilling there, we headed over at 330am to Nasi Kandar Beratur (where you literally have to beratur for your nasi kandar).. Hmm I didn't think the food was all that good.. I've tasted better nasi kandar in PJ but the experience was nice..

On this trip as well was the first time I heard my nephew, Jerome say my name.. Ma che teh which stands for Michelle Atteh.. hehe..

So that was the end of my Penang trip.. Short but truly fun and memorable.. Will try to post up pics soon..
