Penang Trip Day 1

Went to Penang last Friday for a short vacation trip. Went with Paul as he was tryin to clear his leaves as he is changing to another job and he wanted to go on a holiday too. Been longing for a trip before I step in to the working world~ I know it would be much more difficult to go for trips after I start working.

I was bored sitting in the car on the way to Penang. I wasnt driving, so took some clouds picture again!

Finally~ the Pearl of Orient (ok, tis is jst the bridge to it)

Headed straight to Gurney Plaza. We needed a rest after 4hrs of traveling. Went for a movie as we have no plans while waiting for Paul's friend to finish work. Watched Incredible Hulk. The show was good~!

Met up with Tay, Paul's friend for dinner at Northam Beach Cafe. Didnt take any photos there as I was too hungry and was busy eating. Benny joined us at Northam Beach Cafe much later. We chatted for hours as I haven't seen Benny for years, since his graduation and then left for Penang to work. Benny was my housemate back in Cyber when I was in my 3rd year of studies.

After checking in at Red Rock Hotel, Benny brought us to this place to try out their famous boiled fresh cow milk.

Is just a stall between 2 shoplots

Tada~! It's nice. Tasted similar to Milo Ais, but with a twist of fresh milk taste!

It seems that this place is quite famous. Not sure who are these people, but I assumed that they are well known people in Indian society.

Went back to the hotel after that. Benny got to work the next day. So couldnt hang out too late with us. We were tired as well.

Red Rock Hotel is located at Macalister Road in Penang. It's downtown and it's very strategic. Why I said strategic? You'll find out more in later posts. The price is not too expensive. Quite reasonable. RM154 for a Superior Room including breakfast.
