Thank You My Friend

1. I took leave (my first leave of the year) as two of my best friends Sharon (Turtle) and Yee Ching (Girafe) came to pay me a visit in Penang.
2. Well it was a tiring 3 days trip yet fun. I picked them up from the airport on friday morning and then we went to have super long You Tiao and Laksa in Ayer Itam. After that, we went to Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion. We were really lucky to catch the schedule tour and the tour guide is Ms. Laurance, one of the owner of the Architecture Firm who in-charge of the restoration and preservation here.
3. After that, we went to the Fort Cornwallis, the weather was so hot that we then decided to go to Gurney Plaza for a movie titled Madagascar 3 : Europe Most Wanted. We had some good laugh there. Our dinner first stop was in Lebuh Chulia, really nice Wan Tan Mee, Curry Mee and side dish like the Carrot Cake and Sesame Dough stuff with peanuts in powder form.
4. And then, we went to the Burma Road, to have the famous Green House Hokkien Mee. After the HORRIBLE dinner ( we were all full) we went to sight-seeing in Straights Quay. Showing them one of the most happening place in island (other than Gurney Paragon). We walked around the quay side, and talking nonsense all the way.
5. After that, it was a car tour to Batu Ferringhi, it was unfortunate that the pool and beach side of Hard Rock Hotel was close for the night. We took some photos and finally i drop them back to their hotel. (Tune Hotel)
6. I had to work on Saturday morning, hence they took their own breakfast, went to Dr. Sun Yat Set Memorial Museum; and waited me in Starbucks. I had many things to look after in factory, and some minor argument with the manager, yet that should not deter my holiday mood with them.
7. After pick them up, we went to have lunch in Lorong Selamat, Char Kuey Teow. What a hearty meal, because i had bought an extra Otak; and the Otak taste really horrible, Sharon decided to give it to the beggar who approached us.
8. We went for another car trip to Batu Ferrighi, Telok Bahang, Balik Pulau and Teluk Kumbar before  we fetch Wooi Nee's mom from airport. We were really lucky that to witness the Dragon Boat Race in Telok Bahang Water Dam. The race just started minutes after we reached. After some photo session, we went on to Balik Pulau.
9. After fetching Wooi Nee's Mom, we supposed to take the Ferry back to the mainland, i miss the turning up the highway, end up we had to use the ' old ' way. We encounter the temple parade, it was a real long one. At the end, we gave up and use the bridge instead to continue our journey back Butterworth.
10. TomYam Noodle shop in Raja Uda was especially crowded that night, we had our hearty meal, before we started our car trip to Bukit Mertajam and Autocity. As all of us were exhausted, and Sharon ( Abby) kept falling asleep in the car, we back to our house to retire as soon as possible.
11. Second day Morning started with a breakfast in Taman Inderawasih, the famous Kuey Teow Soup. After that, we took the ferry back to the island and to the Penang Hill straight.
12. It was all crowded that, many new things, like new food court, owl museum, new stage there as compared when i last visited with Syn yin and friends, last year September.
13. After a short one, we went to Ayer Itam to buy some local delicacies. Our final destination before going to the air-port was Durian Break at the road side in Jalan Paya Terubong.
14. I was sad to see them off, but i shall not allow that to express out. It was usual, and always been that case. I just do not like to see people off.
15. A short 3 days trip here, and i sincerely hope that both Sharon and Yee Ching were happy and enjoy themselves. This trip will surely hold up a special place in my memory for a long long time.
16. I didn't thank them personally,but i really wish to say, i really appreciate your visit and time with me here. God knows how many opportunity left for this kind of trip, with friend who are so close with me, nobody can tell and nobody are sure either. I appreciate it, a lot.
