Last Morning of our R(est) & R(elax) Holiday in Penang, Malaysia! (15 March 2014, Saturday)

Time truly fly past when you are on holidays, and soon we were getting ready to fly back to our hometown.

Morning call was at 6am as we had to be at the airport by 8am. The breakfast buffet at Cititel earned great reviews and we were looking forward to breakfast which starts at 6.30am.

Western Choices

Dim Sum and even Chanwamushi!!!

Local delights such as carrot cake, kway teow etc...

Cereal time!

Ending our breakfast with FRUITS!

We had booked for the airport transfer via our hotel, which was a bit more pricey in our perspective, about 45RM (SGD$17.50~). But it was quite early in the morning and we did not want to go by the streets hunting for taxis so this was the easy way out.

Beautiful morning on our way to the airport
The cab ride was pleasant and very soon we arrived at the airport and we were ready for check-in. We decided to go into the departure areas earlier to check out if there was any duty-free items to get. When I reached the airport, that was when I realized that I haven't actually bought any souvenirs for myself for this Penang trip, and something caught my eyes at the airport. After a short while of hesitation, I decided to get it!

My souvenir for myself!
Yes, I got myself a Korean Air Plane Model as a souvenir for myself . Some may ask how is this relevant to Penang... Well, the first plane I saw when our flight landed into Penang was the KOREAN AIR cargo; does that count? For those who have read my blog entries on Korea, I am sure you can tell how much I love Korea, so I believe I can be forgiven for getting such a unique present for myself. And for those who have yet to check out my blog entries on Korea, feel free to do so through HERE.

Once all the shopping were done, we simply chilled at the boarding gates waiting for our plane to arrive and meanwhile used the free WIFI at the airport to surf net and pass time.

Flight was quite empty and as scheduled, our plane arrived on time and we said our goodbyes.

That concluded our short but recharging getaway for us both!

Here is an overview of our itinerary in a glance:



Special thanks for Dee for being such a spontaneous travel companion.

First HOLIDAY of 2018 ~ HONG KONG DAY 4 - Day Trip to Shunde 顺德

Image
And we're at Day 4 of our trip. And finally we're travelling out of HK!!!  If you were to ask if for my favourite highlight for the trip, it would have to be Shunde 顺德. We didn't get much done in a day but the whole feel of the city is one that I like. Their pace is not as rushed as Hong Kong and it seems that the people appreciate life better. How to get tickets to Shunde 顺德?  We bought our tickets from China Travel Services, but I believe you may be able to get the tickets online too. We had to pay an admin fee of 12 HKD when we purchase our tickets through China Travel Services. One way ticket to Shunde will cost HKD 240 each (~SGD41). The ferry timings are 8.30am , 9.30am , 11.00am , 3.00pm and 6.00pm . We departed our hotel at about 7.15am, took the cab to China HK City, which took us just 15 mins ride from our hotel. And since we had time, we headed over to MacDonald's for breakfast before we boarded the ferry. China Ferry Terminal Entrance

Dream Come True 2013 - Day 1 (of 7) in Korea - Jeju-do (10 Dec 2013, Tuesday)

Image
After procrastinating for a good one month after returning from this all-time favourite trip of my life (well at least up until 2013), I have FINALLY settled down to blog about it... When I was researching for my trip, I was very thankful for the travel bloggers who blog about their trips so we can have handy tips and advise for people planning their trips abroad, especially to places they would be visiting for the first time. And that was what also inspired me to start this blog. Well, where does the story begin? This was sparked off by my uncle's girlfriend (p.s. my uncle is not old, just for the record, something which I think his girlfriend is very insistent because apparently in the natural world, many people would assume uncles are like 30 plus 40, so he is just 7 years older than me, not yet in his 30s). About two months ago (three weeks before the trip), she whatsapp me one morning and asked if we would like to go to Seoul for a year end holiday. Well it wasn't like

Winter in Korea 2019: Day 7: Seoul (Last Day of 2019)

Image
We were thankful that we could get an extension to check out at 3pm so we headed out to a few spots before we leave Seoul today. Since Sinseol-dong is part of the Line 2, we were aiming to take direct line to Samseong. The line stopped at Seongsu and we didn't know we were supposed to transfer to another platform to be on the same line. We ended up on the line towards City Hall, and we alighted at Wangsimni station. When we were transiting, we noticed this bakery (and considering that we were hungry), we bought this yummy garlic bread! Such a good Garlic Bread (with cheese and egg) - at 3900 won Then we went on our way to Seolleung station to change to Samseong station. Follow the signage to lead you to COEX mall COEX Mall COEX Library Then we took the train to Passing by Han River Commonground Pretty Rainbow Cakes   Once we were done exploring Common Ground, we headed to a cafe (Daelim Changgo)
