29th April 2009 (Wednesday)
We assembled at Clementi MRT Station at 6.45am which my hubby's colleague arranged to pick us up to drive us to Senai Airport (cost S$50 per trip)... Of course my hubby was very anxious and preferred us to take more familiar transport like his colleague, not malaysian taxi driver.. alamak!!! It took us almost 2 hours to reach Senai Airport from Clementi MRT Station...
Hurray!!! We finally arrived Penang Airport after almost 1 hour flying.. wowo.. so well-renovated... We checked in Bayview Hotel and given complimentary food vouchers like welcome gifts... After leaving our bags in our rooms, we roamed around and chose Mexico Restaurant for lunch... wow. so cheap RM$13.90 including main course, drink, soup & bread and dessert.. not bad... what a steal!!! We shopped at Komtar (Largest Shopping Mall) and took a taxi by chance who was willing to guide us around Penang.. so wonderful.. RM$25 per hour... We confirmed to book him for the next day (30 Apr 2009)..
30 April 2009 (Thursday)
We arranged to meet outside lobby of our hotel for the trip... To our surprises, we were shown the itinerary programmes which he got alot of patience to write down.. Our jaws dropped as our 1st time to come across this taxi driver cum guide... so wonderful to have him as our guide... the places of interests were as followed :-
1) Penang State Museum
2) Pinang Peranankan Museum
3) Sleeping Buddha (Thailand Temple)
4) Standind Buddha (Burmese Temple)
5) Fort Cornwallis
6) Victoria Clock Tower
7) Town Hall
8) City Hall
9) Tanjong City Marina
10) Kek Lok Si Temple
11) Batu Ferringhi (Flea Markets)

We did not decide to book the taxi again as we needed a break haha...We felt very relaxed roaming around and went to Gurney Plaza... So-so.. We saw the pushcart and ordered the printed names on cartoon labels for our kids... hehe We had chicken rice and etc ...We bought coffee and tea and complimentary foods from the hotel for last supper before our departure the next day...
2 May 2009 (Saturday)
