weekend outing in penang

we have just arrived back home from penang. the main plan was to watch movie. other than that, we decided to go there instead of ipoh, just to have some difference than the normal weekend outing. ya... i know that its first term school break but eventually i did not have the time to fully spent it with my kids. anyhow we are so lucky that work and home are damn near ;)

we left kuale as early as 8.50 am i think, even though the first movie that we wanted to watch only started at 12.20 pm. well just like any other shopping mall, gurney plaza would be congested by afternoon, thus to find a parking is quite difficult. that's why i prefer to be there early and get to park my 4wd easily. so we killed our time by shoppinnnggggg!!!... :) btw guess what people. that was the first time we watched movies there at gsc gurney plaza. i understood that its the second largest after gsc mid valley.

but then in between the first and second movie, we went to food loft for our lunch. actually its all thanks to cedric and 5Xmom for posting about the outlet. this is what we called the wonders of blogging too! cuz if not i do not even know about it, although i have been to gurney plaza so many times. so i simply kept an eye for it when we were there since morning. i guess maybe i could give foodloft 8/10. the place was simply fabulous. i would definitely recommend it. they served many kinds of food from chinese, thai, western and japanese cuisine. the concept was just like marche at the curve where we were given order cards to order our food.

kuE's note: can you spot my mirror-image in the above pic? ;)

now, since its been quite some time that we didn't watch movies, we really gave it a go with two movies this time—bridge to terabithia and mukhsin. what i could say here is that both movies were about friendships of love between two young generations. in the end, both directors really make the audience in tears.

in bridge to terabithia, leslie died when she wanted to cross over to the other 'kingdom' with the rope that she always used with her good friend jess. jess was not around that weekend. his music teacher, miss edmunds brought him along to visit a museum in town. one thing i like about this movie was the music class. miss edmunds played musical instruments very well, that make her students enjoyed the class so much. kuE's rating: 9/10.

while in mukhsin, mukhsin fell in love with orked. but their relationship stop half-way when mukhsin has to go back to his hometown when the school started. the plot was just damn simple. in fact yasmin dedicated the movie to both her parents. they were even featured along with the crew, together with yasmin, after the movie ended. kuE's rating: 7.5/10.

so why wait people? go and watch those movies asap and let's compare our reviews.
