Getting on a plane gives me that shiver of anticipation and adventure. Where to next? What new experiences, new food, new friends? I was not let down in my excitement. There's lots to catch up with. But first a few photos of Penang by mr G and me.
View from my window at Tanjung Bungah Paradise Sandy Bay Hotel. I used to visit my granma here when it was all fishing villages.
We got to go on the ferry - childhood nostalgia!
mr G took the girls to the Butterfly Farm in Penang and he took some lovely pictures.
I like this picture of me rushing to get to the hawker stalls on Macalister Road. Charge! Can't leave Penang without some Char Kuey Teow. I have to say that the man who sells pork intestine porridge here was really rude and action. hmf! goodness me, he has a high opinion of his place in the universe!More later, gotta do my after holiday laundry and housework. sigh.

Back to reality, huh? I always hate that feeling.
These makan sellers ar...when successful, always action one. Don't they realise that one day, they'll come tumbling back to earth on their hard asses?
Urgh having a hard time picking up the duties here! Post holiday Blues!
I hope I never get like this man, someone kick me in the ass if I do!
:)
you are making me homesick! i dont suppose you will need to come down to london next week for the malaysia festival in covent garden! you've had enough char kuey teow by the look of it. I cant go back to malaysia just yest, so malaysia comes to me.
The festival is next week?? Oh darn I am on 24/7 duty next week as mr G is away on bizness. *very sad face* was hoping to come to that. nevermind, next one will come.
Aww, you went back to Penang. That's so nice. Talking about ferry nostalgia, yes, I used to get aboard ferry so much when I was little and it was certainly one of the highlights of my childhood memories (standing at the deck and watching for jellyfish on the sea, etc.). I love the ferry, gotta do it the next time I go back. :)
Rasa Malaysia, heyy nice to see you - yes the ferry is fun - it had that burning rubber, rusty metal and car fumes smell still - and mixed with the oily sea smell- takes me right back. And watching Komtar get nearer and nearer!
My grandmother used to live in Tanjung Bungah as well! I remember going there on holidays and playing on the beach - no highrise hotels then! And like Rasa malaysia, I used to watch jelly fish from the ferries as well. Brings back some good memories!
hello wokandspoon! yah Tanjung Bungah full of high rises now - didn't see any jellyfish this time from the ferry - not sure I ever did, thought it was a myth my parents made up to shut me up during the crossing!
