Penang Trip - 22 Jan 2009

22 Jan 2009 came the day for the 3 of us to travel to Penang for LNY... this year don't really feel any urge to do the packing although i was on leave since Monday and only flying on Thursday, instead i am watching 'Xiao Nai Re' at home... I only started packing Xinru's luggage on Sunday and ours the day before departure... :P

All of us woke up at 6am and i did the last minute packing of stuff while Xinru have her milk and at around 715am, we left home in taxi to Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1. We checked in out luggage and went for a drink and went into the Departure Hall. The decoration is still the same as what we saw in Nov when we went to Hong Kong but nevertheless, we still took pictures.. hehe

After some photo taking, we proceed to the Gate D34. We q to be check and went in to wait for the plane to reach. The plane departs T1 around 9am and 50mins later, we reached KL. This is the first time that we are travelling in transit instead of taking the aeroplane from Senai Airport.


When we reached KLIA airport, we have to move fast to check in our luggage and lucky we are in time.. Phew... We waited a while for the customs officer to chop out passport and moved on to the departure area at Gate P5. Shortly announcement were made for us to join the queue and we went on board the plane. Xinru was ok through compared to the Hong Kong trip cause it's only 50mins of in plane.. hehe In the plane, she does her Dora water colour.

This time round, we brought 2 big luggage cause need to put in some stuff that we bought at Chinatown, 2 bottle of DOM, 4 cans of abalone and 2 big bottle of Salmon oil tabs.. and the luggage are VERY heavy man!!!!

We reached Penang at 12noon and waited for brother in law and mother in law and Xinru greeted them and even let my mother in law carry. My brother in law dotes on Xinru... When he saw Xinru, he commented that she is getting prettier and he gave a kiss on her forehead and before when he walked to collect his car, after a few steps, he returned again to kiss Xinru.. and kept smiling... Looking at how my mother in law and brother in law dotes on Xinru makes me feel pleased... :P

We went for lunch at the usual chicken rice stall near mother in law's place and my brother in law sent us to the hotel and he sent my mother in law home before he goes to work.

When we got the room number, it is such a concident that the room number is our ROM date - 1812... hahaha After checked in, i settle some of the stuff and got Xinru to bathe and get her to nap cause when we arrive, on the way for lunch, she fell asleep in the car and i woke her up to eat and she need to get some rest or else i would not be able to rest too!!! hahaha

This time round, the room's view is not 100% facing the sea...

~~Half of it is facing the sea~~

~~while the other half of it was facing the mountains~~
~~and the '4 Heavenly King' condominium which people in Penang called~~

The 3 of us knock out till 7pm and we went for dinner near Island Plaza after a 15mins ride on bus. Hubby and me took 'Pi Pa Duck' rice set while Xinru had 'Wanton Noodle'. After dinner, we walked over to Island Plaza Cold Storage to get some necessities and got my mother in law some chicken essence and bird nest... and we took a bus back to the hotel and it was close to 11pm when we reached. Got Xinru to change and take her milk and off we knock off... :)
