May Penang trip 2010- Day 1

*Note: Photos are taken with different cameras with different settings, thus the sizes of the images may differ and have been shrunk by a lot.*

I think we left round 10 in the morning.

Photobucket

Was dead tired cause I slept for only 'bout an hour plus the night before...

Photobucket
The two pretty ladies in my car.

Photobucket
And I still managed to take selcas every now-and-then =x

Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
And then there was all the singing and talking throughout the journey, with a very annoying uncle constantly snapping photos.

Photobucket

Then we I decided to rest a little at Tapah Rest house.
Had to take a break to take a munch...

Photobucket
Photobucket
... and acting stupid in public.

And then we finally arrived at our destination by 3pm.

Had to eat proper Brunch before we check into the hotel on the Island, so we dropped by Butterworth for my must-eat hot spots!

Diligently looking through my check-list of things to do in Penang while waiting for the ferry.

Photobucket

The usual selcas while waiting for the ferry. Fully utilizing our time.

Photobucket
Finally arrived at Tune Hotels =D!

Its very new and well-maintain as far as I know.
I'm happy with the rooms and services. =)!

Photobucket
View from room.
New World is just next to the hotel = convenience.

And then we got ready to go out for dinner.
Photobucket
Photobucket
Usual fooling around.

The thing was, we initially intended to go Ke Lok Si Temple, but I forgot to check the closing time and guess who had to postpone the trip D=

Anyhow, we got to have a nice dinner there =)

While waiting for food to be served....

Photobucket
The two ladies waited patiently and staring at....

Photobucket
....Sally-sama and me, being mesmerised by...

Photobucket
... this photogenic kitten, while...

Photobucket
...this uncle was busy snapping away as usual.

And then food was served~!

Photobucket
Onion omelet~!

Photobucket
Ku luk yuk

Photobucket
Photobucket
Home made Tofu which spells Love~!

Went back to the hotel after dinner and were talking nonsense.
And while they were laughing out loud while watching White Chicks, I was listening to their laughter well into the night while trying to get some sleep.

That's all for Day 1, which was not as hectic or packed as compared to the remaining days throughout the Penang trip.

So do stay tuned for Day 2 next up~!

XL (size's) B-Day.

Ok, I'm gonna kong-out soon right after this speedy post.
Came back from Penang on Tuesday night and rushed to prepare my bratsister's bday present for her.

And yes, Penang post will be postponed for now.
Too much to talk about and I'm really tired. *face palm*

Photobucket
First row is the necklace, Second row is where the pendant is in.

Photobucket
The pendant that cost me a bomb. The newspaper-wrapped package is where the necklace was hidden, and I hid it in my Panda box.

Photobucket
So here's the thing.
I wrote up papers with instructions that XL must follow before she gets her bday present.
And we gave a hell-of-a-time before handing out the paper/clues to her; she was fed-up and frustrated btw =D

Photobucket
This is where she received the final clue, which was the paper with the word めいじ.
I miscalculated and she was damn smart; asked 変体の爺Uncle Vyeo to translate via MSN *face palm*

Photobucket
So she got it correct and was super gleeful by the time she discovered the box.

Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
And then frustration built up.

Photobucket
And this is where you see an unhappy-XL...

Photobucket
...when she discovered the necklace and 3-puny Kopikos in it.
And she went on complaining on how cheap-skate it was...

Photobucket
And then I went on to tempt her with a box of sweets, which was where the REAL present (pendant) was in, which was in my pocket the whole time.
Initially she didn't want it anymore after all the frustration in the past hour, but thanks to the rest of the family's cooperation, and the low-resistant towards temptations of her's, curiosity killed the cat, I'd say. =x

Photobucket
And this is her, seeing the receipt of the not-so mysterious bday present.

Photobucket
Photobucket
Took her a good minute to guess what it was.

Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
This is her finally seeing her expensive pendant.

Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket

See the change in her facial expression }=<

And on the official day itself, the bday girl treat us to dinner at TGIF in Mid Valley.

Photobucket
A very cheesie Onion soup. Me likes~!

Photobucket
Fish and chips.

Photobucket
Jack Daniel's Burger.

Photobucket
And this is a freshly-permed-JR (looking a little unwilling) feeding the bday girl.

Photobucket
The kids of the day. *feels old*

So, bday girl got herself Anna Sui for her bday.
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Black eyeliner.

Photobucket
Anna Sui samples woohoo~!

Photobucket
The perfect Blush/Bronzer Brush.
Photobucket
