Penang Trip Day 1

As many of my friends and those who read our blog knew that we will be away for Penang to visit my relatives. This trip is mainly for my Grandpa who we want him to be happy when he see them(our relatives). It's a petty that I came too late cos my eldest aunty had passed away during an accident in China. Anyway, I still consider this as a fruitful trip as we are able to see the rest and I hope that everyone is living in a happy family.

Here's a little intro of the people you gonna see in the blog/pics, in case you wonder who is who.



1st Uncle - 1 girl & 1 boy
2nd Uncle - 1 girl (Juan Juan) & 1 boy (forgot his name)
3rd Uncle - 2 boys (Hongwei & Kaiwei)
Youngest 姑姑 - 2 girls (Lynn Kai & Lynn Zhi)

It was consider an exciting trip for Shannen cos she was able to travel with so many people this time comparing with our last Bali trip. She was enjoying herself, laughing and playing with us. We arrived in Penang International Airport at around 7.30pm. Was really excited to see 姑姑 and 老姨, but... we couldn't find them at the airport. We got a little panic and tried to get them on the phone.... Finally, 姑姑 picked up the call and told us she will be arriving in a min and told us to wait for her outside the airport. Just as we stepped out of the airport, it remind me and Elson of Bali. Lolz... We got up to her and 老姨's cars and headed off straight for our dinner. There's only 1 word to describe our dinner, DELICIOUS!. Too good until we forgot about the Chicken Rice, Laksa, Satay, etc back home. We were too busy with the dinner and only manged to take a pic of the BBQ crabs. It's only about a palm size but the crabs are all full of roe. We packed the rest of the crabs back to the hotel cos all of us were too full.

We will be staying in Berjaya hotel for the next 3 days. Thanks to 姑姑 for letting us to use her membership points to claim the rooms for free. Daddy's(with share room with Grandpa) and Mummy's(who share room with Huiting) rooms are next to each other while our(me, Elson & Shannen) will be just 3 rooms away. Our room has a super good view from the 20th floor. Able to see the skyline of Penang. Soon after everything is settled down, we went downstairs to grab some beers(for daddy), soft drinks, mineral waters and tibits. Daddy, mummy and Huiting came over to our rooms after they had unpacked their luggage. Daddy's intention was to come over and have some crabs, but was so surprised that Elson & Shanenn finished all of them. Lolz...

We waited for quite a while and realised that our room wasn't cold enough, called the maintenance person to come over to check. He told us he had re-adjusted the temperature and should be cold in about 20 mins. After a long chat in our room, we still feel that our room wasn't cold enough comparing to daddy's and mummy's ones. So we called the guy to come and check again. While waiting for him, we(me, Elson, Huiting, Shannen) decided to go downstairs to grab something to eat again and asked daddy to stay in our room to wait for that fellow.

We bought some Rami chicken burgers from a roadside stall. Were pretty amazing by the way he made the burgers. He use butter to fry the patty 1st, then slice them into 2, fried eggs to wrap up the patty, melted the cheese on the wrapped patty, dressed up the bun with lots of vege, add in some sauce and it only cost us S$1.30 each. Wow.... Simply good! After we got the burgers, went back to our room and daddy told us the guy said we need to change room. I called up the reception and they told us we will be transferred to a Jr. Suit as a complementary, but it will be on the 10th floor. We changed to our room and settled down way past midnight, and Shannen was then able to fall asleep...
