penang trip

* after trying so many times to upload the photos, i finally managed to, with the tips from shanny)

last saturday(08/07/06), in two cars, 7 of us(me, joanne, Cynthia, Moon, yvonne, william & steven) left for a short trip to penang(one of my fav city- becoz of food lor)..... besides that, penang means a lot to me as i had spent three years uni-life at USM..... i miss the place so muchhhhh.........

we first arrived at Bidor for a late breakfast... where else to go to if not the famous Pun Chun restaurant for it's yummy duck thigh noodle.... it was my 3rd visit to this restaurant... we oso bought some of the famous snacks there(chicken biscuit & "sak keh mah")....

we then arrived at Penang about 1.30pm.... check-in to our spacious two bedrooms service apartment at Vistana Hotel, Bukit Jambul.... with the guidance from one of our Penang colleague, Elisha, we had late lunch at Penang Road.... the famous ABC cendol & assam laksa.....
after that, the 7 of us drove to Ferringhi Beach and then had an early dinner at the temporarily shifted, Gurney Drive.....

the next day, we had a sumptious breakfast at Taman Pekaka, near our apartment...just like our previous trips(refer to the earlier posts, either to melaka or genting), we had "DIM SUM"....... but this time, it is self-service..... we just love the egg tarts that they served there!we then headed to bukit bendera, kek lok si & a couple of temples before stopping by for a late lunch at Macalister Road for the famous SISTERS "char kuey teow"... at a nearby stall, we oso bought a couple of durians & smuggled into our apartment... hehehe
at nite, it was the WORLD CUP FINALS celebration at Upper Penang Road.... the place is happening... with HOTLINK being the major sponsor for the nite, there were many activities around..... unfortunately, it was too noisy... in the end, we watched the WC FINALS in our apartment.....
the last day in Penang, we went for breakfast at mamak..... we then visited our Penang branch office at the Northam Tower....

on our way back to KL, we managed to stop by at our Ipoh branch office and had a really really late lunch...... and this time, we found this special fruit cocktail drink(made from dragon fruit juice with a mixture of mango, water melon, longan, kiwi etc...)
my comment for this trip: it's FOOD, FOOD & FOOD at penang.... and FUN!

You know i encountered ths same problem with uploading pictures on blogger.com.

What you can do is clear your browers cookies each and every single time before you upload pics. Try it, it works for me.
