Penang trip

I'm back from a few days of silence and the Penang trip was fantastic. We started our journey from KL at around 12:30PM and reached the Penang exit about 2 hours 45 mins later. I sped a little and I hope I won't get any tickets for it. Malaysian drivers are pathetic and there are even road hoggers on the highways. These prawn brained drivers probably thought 90-100 km/h is fast enough to be on the right lane.

We experienced slight traffic as we entered the Penang bridge. Some Penang drivers demonstrated their super mad moronic driving skills. I guess these poor drivers are left stranded in the island for too long with jams and they don't give way to others sometimes despite the other car turning on their indicator lights. The roads are mostly single lane and I hardly had the chance to speed. My car's odomoter never reached 80 km/h until the 3rd day as I was driving towards the bridge.

We stayed in Parkroyal Batu Ferringhi, Penang and I truly recommend this place. The service, beaches, rooms and resort is excellent (first time you heard me saying "good" for something eh? :p) However, the price of a deluxe room isn't cheap so be prepared :)





On our first night, we had seafood dinner at a restuarant near Gurney drive. The food was ok but it wasn't relatively cheap as we ended up paying KL price. The second night was also a seafood dinner in another restuarant and it would've been cheaper if we didn't order the fish that costs us RM108 :p











We had some fun with jet ski in the evening and it was real cool. 30 mins costs us RM75 and it isn't cheap but I'd definitely go for it again when I have the chance. We visited a few other places, had Assam Laksa (surely) and headed back home to KL on Monday. It was raining heavily along the highways and I had been pressing my car horn tremendously in order to alert the prawn brained road hoggers to stay out of my way as I travel home :)
