i have promised kids to go out for an outing quite some time ago. what when we were busy with my lil' brother's wedding etc. luckily they were so understanding towards me. actually i still have some problems to be settled at work, but like i said earlier, promised was still a promised. to escape myself from all those stressful thingy, i decided to drive over to penang. well penang is one of the best local place that i love to be, anyway. my sister followed us this time.once reached penang, we had our breakfast at nasi kandar subaidah (it was unbelievable that i found the restaurant's own site via google. i was like, "wahh... nasi kandar restaurant also got website already lol...") in tanjung tokong if i'm not mistaken. then we headed straight to gurney plaza. i wanna get myself to an easy-way of parking, that's why it was my choice for us to go in the morning. i normally did the same for our trips to ipoh too, especially during the weekends. my sister met her friend during her half-way with us. kids and me really shopped till we dropped lol... we met again with my sister and her friend almost 6pm. her friend brought us to sup hameed stall via some rows of f&b outlets, which reminded me of jalan telawi in bangsar environment kewl...
just when we wanted to walk back to our car, we saw some trishaws. after inquiring and negotiating here and there, we hopped-on two trishaws. it cost us RM15/trishaw for 1/2 an hour. but since megat was excited enough to have more ride, we continued for another 1/2 an hour. it was really fun going around penang town with trishaw. it was proven to be an interesting experience as these trishawmen knows just where to bring us for a quick look of the streets and historical points in there. they even brought us to chew jetty village. we really love to view the other side of penang from the village. all-in-all we plan to spend more time in penang in the future maybe for some sight-seeing instead of shopping! tehee... more over visit malaysia year 2007 campaign will begin soon!
