Holiday in Penang - Day 1

Today I just came home from Penang. We had a real fun time there. So many new places to see. Some old places we've been before. The review is very long, so here's what we did in day 1:
Day 1 is mostly not many adventures yet because we were just getting started with the long journey to Penang. We woke up quite late because I accidently set up the wrong alarm. Silly me :P. After we washed up and have our breakfast outside at a nearby coffee shop in Len Seng, dad realised he has to go and do his business in the toilet (I'm not gonna mention that btw).
Once we're all finished with our toilet businesses, Penang here we come!!
It's kind of a long journey to Penang if you're travelling by car. But it depends on the hour of toilet and lunch breaks and whether you go inside Bidor, Ipoh or any of the rest place where there's a food court to have your meal. Because if you go inside any of those places, it will take longer hours for you to reach your destination (except when you need to go to the toilet).
We were hungry on the way, so we stop at Ipoh to have our lunch. And boy, it's really crowded that day. We tried a new cafe. Most of the food have run out really fast. So I ordered a nasi lemak with fried chicken. Mom likes the sambal very much. And what surprises me is that the drink doesn't comes with a cup or a glass but a bowl. It's like you're having dessert. Lol!



After lunch, back on the road. Good thing I brought along the program book Rebecca gave to me last two weeks before the Raya holidays for entertainment in the car :). Well, at least to keep me from boredom, if you ask me.
Around 5 pm, we reached Penang!! Yay!! My cousins, Jia Min and Jia Hao greeted us and help us carry our luggage up to our room. I had to sleep with the two sisters in their room because Jia Hao's room is too small to fit in three people. He still keeps his Sylvanian Family collection. Kind of girlish for a 15 year old boy :/.
At night, we had a simple dinner of rice with various types of meat and vegetables. Jia Hao did not joined us that night because he has tuition in preparation for PMR.
Back at their house, we were greeted by a stray cat named Xiao Niao (that's what they named it. Not sure if i heard it correct). The sisters told me it always comes to their house for food.





Inside the house, dad was watching a horror movie called "Insidious". After the cat goes away, we return back into the house to watch the remaining scenes. Of course, I wasn't looking at the tv most of the time. I was busy using the wi-fi from my mobile. After the movie, it's off to sleep and getting ready to start off the holiday in Penang :).

To be continued in Day 2....
