Penang Trip 2016

It's my second time to Penang this year.
The main purpose is to attend and witness Sheauwei's wedding.
I am feel so happy for her as she finally found her Mr. Right.

In this post, I will be writing my 3D2N Peneng Travelogue.
Yes, squeezing everything in one post.
Really didn't do much as this mostly just to attend her wedding.

3 Dec 2016
We took the 11.20pm flight and the flight took about 1hr20mins.
By the way, we rent the Wifi Router from Changi Recommends.
But i can tell you, it is not recommended at all for Malaysia trip.
The data is so slow and sometimes I cant even get connection which I don't know why.
I spent $34 (inclusive of insurance) for this for 3 days which is not worthy at all.

Anyway, we touched down Penang at 1.30pm due to slight flight delay.
Had our lunch at the airport before heading to our hotel to check in and get prepared for the night.
The hotel that we stayed in is Hotel Equatorial Penang.
It's the hotel where SW's wedding dinner held at.
By the way, this hotel do provide airport transfer BUT you need to email and tell them what time they need to go to the airport to fetch you.
They didn't tell me that we need to make reservation in the email, which I wasn't very happy about it, so in the end we took Grab car to the hotel.

Reached the hotel and took a while to check in.
By the time, we went into the room, we need to prepare for the dinner.




The wedding dinner held at Etolie function room.
The rest, I will just use photos to show you the night.










4 Dec 2016
Woke up really early on this day to prepare for the customary wedding.
I was one of the sisters.

This is the view outside my room balcony.


My tired face.. Haha..


#OOTD.
All sisters will be wearing the same long skirt.

Reached SW's brother house and saw that she was preparing.
The other sister were planning games for the groom and brothers.

After SW done her makeup, we went for some photoshoots.
Also did mannequin challenge but the video is with the videographer.



Then its gate crash time.
It was my first experience really 不知所措 but still goes well smoothly. Haha..





Gatecrash successful!
After that, we stayed for a while before heading back to hotel to have our time.


This is the view outside SW's brother house.
It was a beautiful day so I took a snapshot of the view while waiting for our grabcar.


And this is our view in the day.
Chio right?

Anyway, back to our room and changed to a much comfortable outfit before heading out for shopping at Queensbay Mall.
We took the shutter bus provided by the hotel.
It was really convenient.

At Queensbay Mall, the Christmas feel is already up.
As the mall is under CapitaLand, I can see that the mall is very much like Singapore's.




And again, we are at the supermarket looking for foods to buy back for SG.
G took a photo of me holding so many maggie mee.. Lol!
Its not mine alone okay..



Bought so much food back again..

We had our lunch at the mall before heading back to hotel for Spa.
Not a very good experience because the massage is repeat motion.
I guess the therapist should upgrade her skills.
Other than time, I think it is okay..


The Christmas decoration in the hotel.

It was the last night in Penang.
We flew back to Singapore the next morning.

Due to the short time, we are unable to explore much this time.
Hopefully to go back again as I think Penang is still quite a nice place to visit. :)

Hokkaido; Japan 2015 - Day 1-2 - Okhotsk Tower & Okhotsk Tokkari Center

A year ago, I went to my very first Japan; Hokkaido Trip with my mum!
We went with the tour and its my first tour trip.
Booked through Asia-Euro Holidays website.
During that time, I saw the news that Asia-Euro Holidays had closed down.
Suprisingly, my trip wasn't affected and the tour who brought us around is called Apple Vacations.
It was a good experience.

Our trip was from 22 May to 28 May 2015.
I am missing Japan. :(

We took the night flight from Singapore to Haneda.
As usual, I cannot sleep during the whole flight so I just eat, watch video, listen to music, try to sleep, etc...






Touched down at Tokyo; Haneda Airport on Day 2, and need we need to transit to Okhotsk Monbetsu.
So while waiting, we went to buy Wifi card and drinks.


Talking about the Wifi, I got the portable one.
I remembered I got it from Softbank at about $90 plus for 5days which is not worthy.
Moreover, some of the places we went were not covered. :(
I think its better to get the data card as it might be cheaper, and my mum can tether to my phone.

Lipton milk tea!! However, not as nice as the one in Taiwan.

The below is the shutter bus area to bring us to the terminal domestic.


Took about 2hr to reach Okhotsk Monbetsu airport and the sky is so pretty!



Then the tour brought us for our first meal.
Actually, this was not included in the itinerary but the guide told us that the place has no where for food.
Therefore, he negotiated with his boss and then he agreed to give us this lunch for free. :D
First meal - Scallop feast and the raw scallops are very fresh!

The restaurant has a pond full of big crabs.

Took this cigarette vending machines to show my smokers bro and sis. LOL!

My totally bare face since the night before. Sigh~
Hence, for the first day, I have photos with no makeup on.


#justOOTD


First stop is to go to Okhotsk Tower.
Okhotsk Tower is a natural observation room whereby there are many types of marine organism and sea creatures.
It is also situated in the sea whereby we can get a beautiful view.











Guess this is the most beautiful thing I see in Okhotsk Tower.
Its Clione, the sea angel.










Next, we took this tram to Okhotsk Tokkari Center.
Okhotsk Tokkari Center is a Seal Protection center, with more than 30 seals.
We were able to get close and touch it.
It was a really fun experience.





The guide telling us what to do, and what's not.

My friends say that my jacket is the same as the seal skin color. wtf. -.-
Anyway, these seals are such a cutie.
They are able to listen to instruction in Japanese and do what was told.
Sorta like performing to us.




We asked the guide why this seal is white in color.
It is just like the other seal, it's just that it is peeling its skin.




I'll be back for the next post on Day 2.
We went for a beautiful pinkish place, where every girls will love it.
