Journey To The North East, Day 1

*Estuan interius, Ira vehementi, Estuan interius, Ira vehementi, Sephiroth!!*

My phone cried out. I picked it up and activated the snooze option. It was 5.45am when it cried. It cried for like 10 times cause I had difficulties getting up from bed. At the 11th cry, I looked at the time and got up. It was already 6.48am. I walked out from my room and knocked on my parent's room door to notify them that its already time to get up. I walked back to my room and I dropped flat on my bed again. (See how tired I am.. Lazy perhaps?) 10 minutes later, I got up again and took my shower and etc. I went downstairs to take my supplements and tuned in to Animax while waiting for my parents to get ready. We departed from the house at 8.10am.

We first went to SS14 to buy some Pao and Char Kuey to fill our stomachs before reaching Ipoh. We left Subang at about 8.30am. I chowed down on the Char Siew Pao and Sang Yoke Pao as well as the Beh Huey Chee I got from the Yeow Char Kuey shop. Few minutes later, I knocked out in the car.

When I got up, we were in the Simpang Pulai Resthouse to buy some Pomelo for my grandparents in Penang. After which, we headed for Ipoh. In Ipoh, we ate in Rasa Sayang in Theatre Street. We ordered Chicken Rice, Beansprouts and Vegetable Stewed with Tamarind Peel and all these was for our breakfast. After our breakfast, we walked to Funny Mountain which sells Soya Drink and Tau Foo Fa. It was delicious. =p We then went to Starbucks to grab my Dad his coffee and left Ipoh at about 11.20am

We continued our journey to Penang and again, I knocked out till the Penang Bridge. We first went to Lorong Selamat to eat but the Lorong Selamat Char Kuey Teow shop was closed. Thus, we went to Pulau Tikus to eat. I ordered Char Kuey Teow with No Egg, Mom ordered Assam Laksa and Dad ordered Assam Fish and a plate of Char Kuey Teow with Duck Egg. Mom's friend, Aunty Audrey, joined us on the table. She ordered Nyonya Laksa, which is Assam Laksa mixed with Coconut Milk.

After lunch, 2.30pm, we visited my aunt in the nearby dental clinic. After the chit-chat and hellos, we went to Ayer Itam to visit my grandparents. We then travel to see my grandparents' new house which is undergoing renovation. The house is BIG. Bigger than my own dwelling! We dropped by my grandfather's workshop in Ayer Itam Town after checking out the new house.

At 4.50pm, we went to our hotel, Hotel Royal, which is situated in Jalan Larut, opposite the KFC building. We unpacked and I set up the laptop while my parents when for a walk with their friends who apparently gave this room to us. (Happy Days~ ^-^) I reinstalled Windows Live Messenger for my Dad as he recently reformatted the laptop due to missing components.

At 6.30pm, I took my shower and got ready for dinner. We are heading to Starview Restaurant in New World Park with my dad's friends. Overall, the food was alright until to the point where I started scratching and such. At 9.30pm, we headed back to the hotel and back out to a coffee shop next to New World Park since my dad and his friends wanna drink beer. My dad's mouth got somewhat itchy and because of this, he ordered a bowl of Wan Than Mee. According to him, it was quite nice and springy.

Finally, we headed back to the hotel at 10.40pm and lazed around while waiting for a phone call from Aunty Audrey for some food in Acheh Port at 11.30pm. Even so, I'm currently having some stomach discomfort and my hands are quite itchy.

In the end, there isn't any phone call from Aunty Audrey. Guess its goodnight for now. Will continue posting about my visit here.
