First day in Penang, Malaysia.

It was Friday. Our trip to Penang has just began. There were three of us (Me myself, Patina and Adriana) in the trip. Well, the two of them are girls. We are so close to each other because the three of us are from the same state, Sarawak. We were so excited to reach Penang. It was my first time to Penang.

We were in the plane!

We reached Penang around 4:00pm and took a cab to our hotel. I was amazed with the taxi's colour. I never thought that the taxi would be in a white colour besides than yellow. The three of us took a lot of pictures when we reached Penang. Penang is one of the beautiful places to visit and there are a lot of foods over there.

Hello Penang. We are here!

After 30 to 40 minutes, we reached Copthorne Orchid Hotel Penang. We had some problems during our check-in. It might be my fault that I did not check the date of check-in properly. I did not know that I put Sunday as our check-in day but then we managed to change it into the present day. Or else, the three of us might be sleeping at the corner of the road and sleep without the precious bed.

Hotel's elevator. Our weird faces.

Finally, we were in the hotel and relax ourselves. We were excited seeing the view right from our room's balcony. We can see the beautiful and overwhelming view of sea. After that, we went to sauna's chamber to pamper ourselves. It was my first try in sauna and I accomplished my bucket list. It has been a long time I wanted to go to a sauna's chamber and try it out. We met one couple in the sauna's chamber and we were talking to each other. They are from England and having their vacation in Penang and some places in Malaysia for one month.

Then, we went for a food hunting. It was raining on that night. We hardly find the best Chinese restaurant on that night. After that, we end up eating at the Arabian restaurant and it is a little bit pricey. It cost us too much for our first night and sometimes, when I recall this, I think I was so stupid that I went to a pricey restaurant. But, no regrets. It was raining too on that day. We found it hard to walk a little bit far from our hotel, then we end up eating at the Arabian restaurant. It was fine.

Furthermore, it was a coincidence that Vionnie, my close friend in Kuching (or I can tell that she is somehow my cousin but we are related in a long way of history, laugh out loud) had a workshop in Penang and she stayed next to my hotel! I was so surprised on that day and finally I have the chance to meet her. Because it has been a while we did not meet each other since we are studying in a different places.

This is her. Vionnie Lapau.

The two of us.

I brought my friends to meet her too and we talked for a long time. We had a good time at the bar and had some drinks. At last, we went back to our hotel and said goodbye to Vionnie. It was a time for us to sleep because we wanted to wake up early in the morning but we did not sleep early as we planned before. Cliche. We had some chit chat with each others in the room before we slept and ate some foods that we have. That is a wrap for my first day in Penang, Malaysia! It was indeed an awesome day with the awesome people around me. To my readers, thank you for reading this and spending your time. Peace be with you!

Goodnight everyone. Have a good rest.
