Penang splendour

Last weekend was spent at Penang with him to buy things for our hantaran and wedding. Penang is one of the checkpoint for us to meet aside KL. With him working in Kuching, we only met occasionally which is fine by me coz I don't think my parents approve of too much dating. Hehe. So we meet when we have to meet or we meet when we have the same courses and meetings. But I'm praying that we don't have to bear with this long distance relationship after we get married.

Ok, back to Penang.

I drove to Penang early saturday morning eager to start shopping. Syoknya! Meanwhile he already arrived the night before and staying as usual at Tune hotel. I picked him up and headed straight to Gurney Plaza. A shopping heaven for branded boutiques I must say. We found almost everything we're looking for here. Even the Parkson is having sale. Nice!

That night my plan was to take him to one of my favourite spot in Penang. Ferringhi night market! It's a lovely long row of small booths selling many kind of things. Be sure to have the time and stamina though. It's a very very long row. There's such a variety of things sold here but most of it are souvenirs since Ferringhi is almost always packed with tourists. But some of the souvenirs are one of a kind. It's a pleasure to just browse and have a look. It's also a heaven for pirate DVDs. Shhh. Hehe. There's this one stall which have all the season of tv series. You name it, Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill, NCIS, CSI, Ghost Whisperer, Psych, Chuck, Supernatural, Grey's Anatomy, Vampire Diaries, bla bla bla..the list goes on and on. So, I bought the second season of Gilmore (I'm never tired of this series), the sixth season of Grey's Anatomy and the Vampire Diaries! Nyum. Hehe.

Btw, George O' Malley really dies! I mean yeah he's quitting the series but by dying is such a tragic exit. tsk. Also, Seattle Grace Hospital merge with Mercy West Hospital so there's lots of new faces in the series which only brings lots of gossip, drama and bickering. Haha. So fun and exciting to watch. The Mercy West interns are quite obnoxious at first. Teeeet, end of spoilers =p

Once in Penang, of course you have to enjoy the foods. So that night, we hunt for charkueyteow. We're disappointed though. The one that we had is simply not good. But the pasembor is delicious. Too bad we couldn't enjoy it much since we're bloated with air as we ate so late.

The next day was spent at Queensbay Mall. Just strolling, window shopping, eating, having fun and catching a movie. Jaden Smith is so cute! Karate Kid is a must watch. He'll grew up to be a great actor just as his dad.

So remember when you go to Penang: Ferringhi night market! Hehe.

Bye Penang. For now =)
