Having to take 9AM bus to Penang, we had to wake up early to take a public to Puduraya Bus Station. Everyone, well, most of them, were to gather at the boyfriend’s place and walked to the nearest bus stop together.
It was around 7.45AM when the bus came. Due to massive traffic jams, we decided to stop at Taman Maluri and took LRT to Plaza Rakyat, which was definitely faster than taking the bus.
Seeing we had less than half an hour for our breakfast, the boyfriend and I went to the nearest stall to buy breads and drinks while his friends were off to somewhere else for their breakfasts.

the bus’ deco :D
It was around 9AM when we could get on the bus and off we go to our 4-hour-drive-destination, Penang Island.
After 4-hour-drive, finally the bus was crossing Penang Bridge :D We were almost there and we could not wait. Once we reached Sungai Nibong Bus Station, we decided to drop by its cafeteria (or mamak) to have our lunch and, at the same time, watching a Malay series or movie, Ciung Warnara. They (especially the boyfriend –_-) were laughing at this series/movie all the time. However, honestly, it is a very nice series/movie :)
We took 3 taxis to our hotel, Leisure Cove Resort. Each taxi cost us RM30. Affordable price if you divided RM90 to 10 people. Oh, by the way, there were ten (TEN) of us. Quite a big number, eh?
Finally we are here!
Us, at the lobby
While some of them were processing to check-in, the rest of us were trying to kill time by..
taking picture with the nearest Christmas tree
studying Penang Island’s map
and of course, not to forget: camwhoring!
After some time, we had our rooms! Well, we had two units for ourselves. They have a master bedroom and one twin sharing room and fully equipped with kitchen, dining room and living room and these only cost us RM53 per person for 3D2N!

The boyfriend and three of his friends left the rooms to rent cars. However, after quite some time, one of them called and asked us to go to the hotel’s rooftop. Believe me, the view from the rooftop was magnificent!

but sadly, the Jacuzzi water was not even warm

me love the horizon <3
the wind is very strong
Note: spot the difference
Soon after the guys managed to rent two cars, they decided to go for a swim. Trust me, water + wind = icy cold!
That night, we had our dinner at Penang’s well-known Gurney Drive. There are variety of food selling there. The boyfriend and I had..
asam laksa
fried kuey tiaw
[sorry no picture because the food is not delicious at all lol]
fried oyster (this is really nice)
and satay for dinner
I so wanted to have G.P. Soon’s rojak and Ah Pom. Unfortunately, the night was too young for G.P. Soon to start his business but it was a tough one for Ah Pom [I would have to wait for half an hour]. Therefore, I was a bit moody as I did not get to eat what I wanted, so much, to eat =(
Later late at night, I had no idea how the guys ended up of having an idea to reward themselves Chivas
with a few choices of soft drinks. While the guys were out to buy supper, I dozed off in ma room and slept until the next morning.
