Aw man. I bet I would end up gaining like at least 3 or 2 kg while I'm here. So far it's day two and I've already eaten like hell. Reached Penang on Saturday morning and yes I didnt get any sleep that previous night so I was a bit like dozing off at every place that had chairs for us to sit. Especially during the car rides. Had char kuoy teow after like 7 months! Didnt really miss it all that much so haha, not that bad lar. And also chendol!! AHHHH! Okay yeah, I missed that. That was only lunch then we headed off to the mall for some shopping. Not as good as KL though. Hehe. What was I expecting? Anyway, had my usual mocha frap at Starbucks. I was dying for one ever since I got out of the plane. It was so hot and I was soooooo sleepy. So yeah, got my nice iced blended drink and got my aunt into GreenTea frap. She loved it. Then walked around somemore and then did some usual running around to buy stuff to be sent down to kl a.k.a rojak sauce. Apparently, the Kua family have been getting our rojak sauce from the same person for years now who secretly(even though on the surface he seems like a sarcastic careless old man)loves us to death since we usually buy like a heap of them. OH! I almost forgot. We went to go visit my mum's godmother whom I only met when I was a kid and never really saw much of them later since I don't go up to Penang that often and blah but my mum sends like angpao every year and all. They're this lovely really really and i mean really kind couple. The husband just passed away last year and now the wife's living alone since they have no children. She couldnt regonise me but she was happy to hell when she saw me. So yeah. Hm. And then dinner! We went to this old old kinda restaurant house thing. Really good! Asam prawn!!!

Woke up late the next day so our schedule was kinda screwed up. Whoops. Went for lunch at this steamboat place but no steamboat though. Too heavy. Eek. So we had like few dishes. Very very good! Then we had to go see my uncle's new condominium. With sea view and all. Nice location and building. My aunt then wanted to go check out this other mall so got dragged. Wasn't in the mood for shopping. I just wanted to go to sleep. So I was lagging behind my aunt and her friend while they go into almost every shop. Then I had the sudden craving for fried ice cream! Which of course I didnt get because we didnt know where the hell in Penang had that. I mean we didnt have the time to go search so I had to settle with normal vanilla ice cream. It was damn hot! So after shopping went back to my aunt's place and then we packed our stuff and started for Alor Star. We had to stop by in Bukit Mertajam to go pray my grandfather since I'm not going to be at his death anniversary prayer thing and I havent 'seen' him for like a while now. So yeah. Then reached Alor Star and seafood for dinner! With my other aunt and grandparents(mum;s side of the family). Then got back home and just chilled. And of course there was supper! Fried Sotong!! YES! How long have I not tasted you~~ Okay yeah and then took a long long shower. Really hot here lar. And I'm heading off to bed now! Heh.

NightNight.
