Welcome to Chrisbaby's blog!
Yay! I’m going to Penang for holiday today. I left house early in the morning. The journey to Penang was 4 hours. I reach Penang around 1pm. This is my first time being on Penang Bridge. Last time I travel to Penang by plane. So never use Penang Bridge but I might be above Penang Bridge, who knows. Hahaha…
Once there we checked into Sri Sayang Apartment located at Batu Ferringhi. We didn’t get lost locating the apartment though thanks to the wonderful sign board which directed us from mainland to the apartment. The apartment was ok. What more would you expect for a RM88 apartment per night?
Immediately after checking in, we went out for lunch. We went to Gurney Plaza’s food court for lunch. I had vegetarian bak kut teh for lunch. Then we just walk around Gurney Plaza. It’s huge. And to our surprise, we found Celebrity Fitness Gym there. We are not aware of the new outlet there. We wanted to enter the gym to have a look since we have all clubs pass but too bad I forgot to bring my access card along. I’ve emptied my purse and bring necessary cards with me only. It looks small from outside.
After that we went back to the apartment. We took a walk at the beach. The beach expected is as dirty as ever. Sigh… why can’t we have clean beautiful beaches?
We met up with my secondary classmate, Zing Yee for dinner and she brought along 3 of her guy friends. They are funny especially the one who wore red that day (Sorry, I forgot your name). We went to 3 different places for dinner. First stop was of course Gurney Drive. Apparently the usual Gurney Drive stall was re-allocated to a temporary empty land nearby because they are upgrading the old Gurney Drive. There’s lesser stalls and the old Gurney Drive environment which is packed with people is not there. And furthermore the prices have gone up. Last time (Last year) the Fried Kuey Teow cost RM2.50 per plate and today it cost RM3.50 per plate which is equivalent to the price in KL. I was so disappointed. I was hoping to go Penang for their delicious and cheap food.
From there we went to another food heaven place somewhere near Penang Sunway Hotel. All of us have no idea how to go to that place. So we simply bang and we found the place. Well, Penang is not that big after all. This place is even worst. The Fried Kuey Teow cost RM4. Hahaha.. more expensive than the ones in KL.
From there we went to Tanjung Bungah. Behind Naza Hotel. Zing and her friends want to give a visit to the beach. After that we all went back home. From Tanjung Bungah to our apartment is not that far. It’s about 2 minutes drive away.
