A Trip To Penang

Thanks to a generous uncle who treated my sister and I to attend the seminar on Sunday.....We got ourselves a trip to Penang. The journey to Penang was comfortable. Due to last minute purchasing ticket, only the expensive bus tickets are not sold out. Ha...hence, we're fortunate that we get to ride on the comfortable bus to Penang. The journey was quite pleasant. My sister's friend, my sister and I sat at the last row of the bus. The journey was really bumpy but fun. HAha....Because whenever the bus passes through a bumpy road, our seats will bounce....It felt like we're sitting on a water-bed or throwing ourselves on the bouncy balloon...so fun...dooink doiink....

Compared to the last time I came, the view from the Penang bridge was still the same, . But Penang was no longer the same. It was even more urbanized now. More buildings, more kondominiums....there were also a number of penthouses around. The moment we arrived at the Penang bus station, we were greeted and welcomed by the friendly and warm-hearted family.. Aunty and Uncle even brought us all the way up the hill at Balik Pulau for lunch. The food was really great. Not to forget the scenery on top of the hill. I wonder what will it be like to watch the sunrise or sunset from there. The entire family were really nice to us. I really felt pampered... hah....Especially aunty, she fetched us around for sightseeing and treated us with good food; taught us lotsa hokkien and not to forget to mention that she's a really great tour guide. She's so cute and fun to hang around with.
Uncle was also really kind. He humored us with his jokes and also introduced us to famous textbook writers and experienced teachers. He also treated us like VIP in the seminar. Although it was kinda terrifying having his special attention during the seminar. Anyway, the seminar was great and informative. The seminar was held in the Cititel hotel and about 300 students attended the seminar. It was really a fruitful trip.

Oh right, on our way back to KL, we saw an accident at the opposite lane. A car was burning vigorously at the middle of the highway while 2 other cars were crashed badly. Behind those cars were a really long jam where along it there were ambulances and firetrucks squeezing their way through the jam. I've never seen this kind of scene in real life..I've only seen it on tv...I wonder if the victims are alright. Pray that no one is badly hurt, festive seasons should be a happy moment for family reunions and gatherings....

May God bless everyone with journey mercies. Take care of them and bless the drivers to drive safely.

Anyway, thanks to the Ng family for the wonderful hospitality in Penang. I'll surely miss them. And also not to forget to thank God for my safety journey home and for this wonderful trip
