Relaxing Trip

It has been a long time since I had a relaxing trip. We all need a trip once in a while, after working for a while now; we are living in a world where competition is everywhere, we force ourselves to work harder, we stress ourselves to be better. Finally, a nice and relaxed trip for myself and a friend of mine.

Day 1
We drove from Petaling Jaya to Penang at around 1pm in the afternoon, arrived at around 3.30pm. Had a walk around the Penang Streets, there are some new streets arts around. People always ask, why do you keep visiting the same places? No, it's not the place that matters, it's the company.

Some of the photos we took during our trip.

This is where we had our Nutmeg Juice. It's refreshing and very delicious.
You can adjust the sweetness just simply by adding some water. 

This is how it looks like when it's split into half

In the evening, met up some friends in Penang for dinner and a late tea session.

That's about it for day 1. Quite tired at the end of the night, but it was a nice catch up session with my friends, we haven't met each other for almost 2 years if I'm not mistaken.

Day 2
Since we were quite drained out at the end of the first day, with all the travelling and late night catch up session, we didn't really set a time to wake up. But still, we woke up at around 8.30am, just in time for our breakfast in the hotel. It was just a simple breakfast with toasted bread and cereal with coffee.

Then we continued with our trip in Penang. We visited the 3D Art Gallery, I've heard about this place, but just hadn't got the time to visit. Following are some of the photos we took during the visit.

We had a lot of fun in there. It was creative what they had in there. Worth to be visiting at least once.
After that, we moved on to Sekinchan, our next destination.

We reached around 5pm in the evening, went and checked in to the hotel (it looks more like a homestay, clean and cozy). We rest a while, and then we headed out for dinner. The food we had was cheap and delicious. It's called 喜记, photos of food will make you drool.

Have to admit that it's not really the best signboard, not easy to spot

Fried Hokkien Bee Hoon Mee

Tasted very fresh, not too oily and not too salty

This is what they call, 炒虾姑, very delicious.

We ordered small size for all these dishes, but it turned out that their portion is quite huge. Anyways, we finished all of them. This meal only costed RM47, quite cheap with these much food, easily cost more than that in Damansara.

We went for a second round for the 拉拉煎.

It was nice, but nothing special

We had a walk on the Redang Beach after our meal. It was nice to feel the wind by the beach. How often do we enjoy the nature, since we work and stay in the town. We went back and have our rest after that. That's the end of our 2nd day.

Day 3
We went back to Redang beach early in the morning, so that we could have a better view of the beach and the scenes around.

Had our breakfast after that at the local hawker stall. They were simple yet delicious. :) This was at 益大家茶餐室.

And a must visit place in Sekinchan, the paddy fields. Have walk down the paddy fields, it's relaxing, smell the greens. The weather was superb, so we enjoyed the walk with the wind blowing, it really felt like paradise.

Went on for our lunch before we head back to Damansara. Couldn't recall what is the shop's name. Food there was just average, there were a lot of people queuing up though.

Well, that's the end of our short trip to Penang and Sekinchan. Till the next time.

Toodles.
