Travel throughout the week.


Like what I've mention in the previous blogpost, I've spend my previous 1 week in Penang, Alor Setar and not less to mention, Danok..the border of Thailand. Most of my friends had been asking what I've been up to during that week and it seems that I've been staying in penang for a long period of time. LOL
This trip is a doubt for me for about 2weeks earlier. I've been doing research about my course and college im looking forward to. However, no application had been done. So I must get all things done before my parents will allow me to go for this trip. Before my trip, my parents accompany me to get more info and talks to the college counsellor about the programme im intrested in. Its my second time talking to the counsellor. So after discussing with my parents, I've made up my mind. I does not know why will I stick to this decision from the beginning although more and more negative side of this course are exposed to me. Just hope everything turns out well and I will not regret the decision I've made.

After applying and paying the fees for the first year of my degree that commenced on april. Now im ready to go for a trip with my cousin sister in Penang. ;D Passport of mine had already expires just few days ago, so there's a need to renew my passport for this trip. Am so thankful to a friend of mine to jam all the way with me to the Immigration office in wangsa maju after one last minute call. (altho my friend's did intend to do passposrt also la).
Im so glad the officer are so efficient and Im able to get my passport within an hour! awesome! XD

The so called "executive lounge" of NICE bas in Old KTM Railway Station.
 So right after the next day, Dad fetched me to purchase the ticket depart on that day itself to Penang. Its my first time travel such a "long" distance alone.LOL I prefer to travel with Nice coach compared to others due the comfort provided. (food, blanket, small pillow, small tv screen behind every seat is provided). I've apply for their membership card especially for students..so it's much cheaper and not much difference compare to those common bas prices and yet its more comfortable compared to the others.XD

After 4 1/2 hour of journey, here I'm. The Penang Bridge.
Have been following my cousin sis to work around Penang, Butterworth and even alor setar. Although its my cousin business trip but due to her job flexibility, Im able to visit quite numbers of places and their tourist attraction within this short period of 1 week time.
camwhore while waiting cousin sis in her workplace.
Stayed in my cousin's house in Penang for 2nights, here we head to Alor Setar...

Its around 1 hour car travel distance from Butterworth to Alor Setar. And the first thing we do is to check in. This hotel is mainly for business purposes. Its not huge as those common hotel but yet I like it so much because it is simple and nice. Most important, clean and neat.
Lobby
After dinner, we went to the local so called the "Observation Tower of Alor Setar".
Wikipedia ---> Located in the heart of Alor Setar, this tower, standing at 165.5 metres tall is a prominent and modern landmark that signifies the rapid development in the state of Kedah. It functions as both a telecommunications tower and a tourist attraction.

photos with cousin sis & her friendly colleagues. =D

cousin & I

Were packing up things and here's our messy room XD
HAHA, Ive notice that there're many camwhore photos in the camera. LOL 
And yet I always forget to captures photos of local foods and places during my visits. @@''




while waiting for my cousin sis AGAIN! hahaha
After finishing my cousin sis work in Alor Setar.. there we off to Danok, the border of Thailand!



Due to the long queue of cars entering the imigration, we decided to walk across from the border of Bukit Kayu Hitam, kedah to Danok, Thailand.
Here we parked our car at for 2d1n. The duty free zone.
Do forgive me as there is only 2 photos with no people + it is blurr. It is because we are hand carrying our luggages and I never want to disturb anyone to capture photos for me any longer because everyone's both hand already fulled with things.


Spot this when im editing photos. LOLXD
 Not to offence but from my experience, somehow the Imigration officer of Thailand is much more friendly and funny compared to S**g****e officer. 

Things required to filled in before we enter the border of thailand. (1for arrival & 1for leaving)
So since we're all carrying such heavy luggages. We just enter one of the hotel and make our choices within few minutes. And there you go! Below its the hotel we're lodging at. I wonder if others hotel do have such artistic design in their hotel room too..lolllollol Lets enjoys photos below..



Right after checking in and some rest, MASSAGE session is a MUST if we visit Thailand! All of us are just too excited to get a massage after carrying much luggages just now. Its my first time being massage if im not forgetful. Its so fun having massage with a whole big bunch of friends although I had just know them for 2days. But we had fun together hunting foods & cheap stuff in thailand.
Not forget to capture some group photos after the refreshing massage.
Our first meal in Thailand ---> McThai (McD in Malaysia) =D

Samurai Pork Burgerrrrrrrrr..slurrrppp~!
 It is a MUST to order Samurai Pork Burger if u visit McThai in thailand. Because thailand is the country that provides Pork in McDonald among so many other countries world wide. As one of my cousin sis colleague told us, you can only be said that u've been to thailand ONLY if you've tried the samurai pork burger. HAHAHA but honestly I felt it quite tasty, might due to we'r all in hunger that time.

Bill of 3 sets of samurai pork burger.
Its such an exaggerating amount to look at. Hundreds bucks for 3 set of burger.lollollol! 
After dinner at McThai, here is the main activities in Thai! CLubbbbbb session!!!
Its actually different from what I've been expected..the club we went(YES club).
The programme is actually quite similar with those chinese annual dinner concert..Their performance is like just common singer singing on the stage, dancing performance. But not less to mention there's some sexy bikini girls standing on the stage during break time la.  And yet the most interesting and funny was the one who came out with MICHAEL JACKSON outfits and ends his performance with the I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT by LMFAO.




The appetizer.

Main dishes of the day.

Some refreshing local fruits is the best for the hot sunny day!




Before we're back to Penang, we went to have a shop in the free duty zone. However, Im not able to buy some liquor over there because its hard for me to bring it back to KL. Sad case but no choice.

So soon after we're back from cousin business trip, cousin sis takes 2days leaves. Do not have much photos because I forget to. Here I've spended days at Penang eating, shopping and hanging out with cousin's and their friends. Activities full from noon till night. 
Fully utilised and enjoyed my holiday before degree lifes commenced in April. =D




Before my depart to KL. =D

Gained weight during this trip, could not resist foods over there. 
Much enjoy this trip, Experience much. 
And yet thousand and millions thanks to my cousins in Penang willing to spend their precious resting time after whole day work to hang around with me, bring me places around Penang. Besides do thanks to cousin's friends for the treats. Such a pleasure to meet you guys. =)
***Such a long post this timeXD

Recent Updates: Three.

So here am I after the last blogpost. I've been in outstation for almost 1 week with my cousins. For this period of time being, I've paid my visits to Penang & Alor Setar in Malaysia, and the border of Thailand-> Danok.
Would probably write about my trip on the next post after im done editing those photos taken. However, the photos took is not much because I just keep forgetting to bring along the camera with my all the time. Although sometimes I did bring it with me, I would left out to snap a photo of the food before I eat them! Because besides grabbing them I just cant think of anything when those irresistible food comes to my front. Moreover, sometimes taking pictures non stop might probably irritate the others. However, I really love this trip! Both Relaxation and Excitements are just there for me! Love it!
There still almost 2 weeks left until I starts my college life again, and this time I know its not that easy anymore. Hard effort is needed to not let down my parents and brothers again. But before that, lets enjoy the holidays before it ends! XD
This coming week me & my friends are celebrating bestie bday in Melaka. Hope every plans turns out not only well but great! And do may us enjoy ourself to the maximum! =D
