Trip to Penang

Had an event in Penang last weekend so I thought we might as well make it a family trip. Did'nt have the heart to leave them over the weekend with their grannies anyway.

Both kiddies had flu but when we reached the hotel we serbu the pool first.. Amir who was super excited konon before the the trip to jump into the pool, as expected, takut nak masuk dalam air... "Nanti wet baju", he said.. haiyaa.. he was very the skema one... but Sarah..huiyoo..for a first timer she was everywhere man.. not scared at all... siap nak masuk adult pool lagi taknak main kat kiddies pool... she swam like a fish..

K. Arida brought her hubby and kiddy yang suka bergaya and berposing.. the kid I mean, not the hubby.. :)

I've always liked Penang.. the beach.. the hotels.. the food especially la kan.. but then we did'nt have much time to explore Penang this time..lagipun Oh God! Sarah was super duper cranky throughout! On the night that we wanted to go makan at Padang Kota she cried non-stop for almost 45 mins in the car! Dahlah traffic jem teruk..lapar pulak tu.. and then ada background budak tantrum.. I think she probably had Kama and Suzie who were with us in the car swore not to have babies!

Food at Padang Kota was not that great la..Or maybe it was because super cranky Sarah made us all lose our appetite.. :p I pitied Amir who seemed a bit neglected because we were concentrating on Sarah..but he was being a really good boy throughout the trip.. like my other half said.. sian Amir ni kena jadi macam budak 17 tahun because of Sarah.. padahal baru 2 tahun.. still nak manja2 lagi...

Since semua orang dah phobia ngan Sarah dalam kereta that night we ditched the idea of going up to Feringghi beach and went back to the hotel.

Instead we went up to Feringghi after checking out from the hotel the next day. Of course the DVD stalls were all closed and small food stalls with nice seafood pun tutup.. yang bukak banyak kedai Arab... so we all decided to eat seafood at Eden Seafood Village (yes, yes yang kat KL ada taknak pegi..pegi gak yang kat Penang which would obviously be more expensive)..the place was pretty cool...by the beach where there were lots of activities going on.. siap ada horses lagi..

This is the biggest ikan kerapu that I've seen and eaten! It's almost as big as Sarah! All 4 adults were at first very doubtful that we could finish this but ..

yeah.. in the end we whalloped the ikan, finished the yummylicious buttered prawns tapi did'nt quite enjoy the crabs..

Ni budak naughty nak makan tomato sauce aje.. pastu dengan tangan penuh tomato sauce celup tangan kat dalam Apple Juice..

Arrgghhh Sarah..dahlah tu.. pening.. pening...

Despite the kiddies' crankiness in the hotel, restaurant and car I'm still glad that we made it a family trip because we seldom do it.. nak pegi shopping mall pun dah takde idea nak buat apa dah.. balik2 beli Ultraman..since I brought the family together when I work kan.. here's hoping that my other half will also bring us for the next working trip (sarah included okay!).
