3 bachelors' penang trip, awesome! day 1

Peeps, this should be a update for weeks ago. I was stuck in the kotabharu without any flying sortie, so this was damn boring. Daily routine was just wake up, eat and sleep. Due to zest on good foods, craving for delicacy. I came out a plan with my best friends, vincent and philip , that was a trip to penang! A day before, we decided everything including hotel and schedule. We started up the engine by 6o'clock morning, took about 5 hours duration. Orh yea, this was a 3days 2nights trip!
To-do-list in Penang
# watch movie! Karate kid! ahhh chiak!
# food satisfaction { char kuey teow, asam laksa, prawn mee, kuey teow soup, cendol, blablabla }
# shopping! { weih, mux buy something la! }
# clubbing and beer ! { kotabharu pubs are damn frigging lousy! ish! }
# relaxation { spa maybe? }
# craving for big building!! { yea right, kotabharu doesn't have big building! }
