    Title : Penang: Family, Food, Fun
    Time : 1:20 pm

    Earworm: I Miss You~~ Blink 182
    Currently reading: The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic -- Sophie Kinsella

    It's been ages since I had a family trip, considering they jetted off to China, leaving me in the dust in Singapore. Ah well, didn't mind much, though i would have liked to see the snow there. It's the topic of conversation among relatives like 90% went to China, like, this year. so, perfect for me. i get to shut up and listen.
    Anyways, to start off, going to penang is also part of this motorhunt me dad signed up for, organised by his bank. was fun, skipping meals to be on the 10hour hunt tracking from KL to penang, passing by small towns and spotting signs. well, we came in 8th btw. outta 116th, hmmm..not bad.. it's a night's stay at Equatorial, though i'd rather have one of those shopping vouchers 20th placed winners got.
    Highlights of the trip:
    Jet-skiing and parasailing at Batu Ferringhi
    but the waters weren't as nice as in pangkor, and there were signs saying Beware of Jellyfish which is a source of phobia for me, since i got stung by one when i was 8?
    Riding the waves gave such an adrenaline rush. I'm a speed devil on the water, too bad i have to throttle along on the road.
    The harness for parasailing was rather painful, thank god I'm not a guy, but they dipped me in the water where i spotted a floating jellyfish. Yikes! get me outta there! and when i was lifted up into the sky again, there was this stray piece of frayed harness cold and wet, flapping against my thigh. which, horrors of horrors, i thought was a jellyfish somehow having a slimy tentacle around my leg.

    Food
    Mmmm..cherry sweet restaurant with their thai food. was the best dinner ever. fried kangkung, my first. and stuffed crab, green curry, tomyam... salivating now....

    Shopping
    i cant believe the flood of imitations in malls here. left, right, centre, and the pirated vcds and dvds whoa...it's like movie heaven hahaha. went out with chuiz just basically milling around, she looking for a watch, and me, a pair of cargos, didnt manage to find one though. piled many dvds into my dad's hands. eye-spoilers, here i come!
