Penang for CNY-Day 1~

I had 7-day break for CNY.. happy~~~ and immediately left for the place where i was born, the pearl of the orient, the island of dreams --> Pulau Pinang.. muahahaha.... not wanting to experience traffic jams like previous years, i headed north on the 11th of feb, before other ppl started running away from the city.. :)

Slept on and off on the bus.. Suddenly i woke up and realised I was already on the Penang Bridge @.@~

Spent 2 nights at my cousin's new place located on Bukit Ria/ Mount Pleasure, Batu Ferringhi :) and what an amazing view does her condo have...

The sea is so smart, it knows how to differentiate itself from the sky.. hahaha...

the pool~~

Its like staying at a resort :)

theres something to make up for the great view though, and they come in the form of scary bugs called rove beetles which were all over the place, although i luckily just missed their mating season so i didnt see that many... According to wiki, their venom is stronger than a cobra's, and according to my cousin, can cause blisters like acid burns when in contact with our skin... her son actually experienced it firsthand cos he supposedly squashed one while sleeping.. made me so nervous that night... :S

found one along the corridor.. eeew... look at its pointy butt!

Picked up my bro from shangri-la rasa sayang resort and spa (what a mouthful) where he's training and went out for dinner.. Guess what interesting dish i had??

hahahha... guess they didnt have space for the 'drum' in drumstick :D

Duck 'Stick' Mee Suah :P

My cousin has not watched tiger woohoo, the local movie that everyone's talking about but incredibly, i found this at her house:-

Apparently a set of 4 bigger sized ones is selling for RM68 at Eu Yan Sang outlets @.@~

The good news is that i didnt squash any beetles the 2 nights i was there... hahahhaha... woohoo~~ :P
