Penang - Wedding and yumseng!

One of the reasons for us to go up Penang was to attend my friend's wedding. I worked with the penang church for about 6 months in 1998 or 99? Anyway i had lots of fun (plus lots of good food) and made many good friends. One of them(Jason) is currently staying at my place in Singapore. Will scan a picture of the couple's wedding picture and post it here soon. Thank God for freddy and cheewan(this one is woman, not the tan chee wan in our church), they came to pick us up from the hotel to the restaurant in mainland Penang. we took the ferry, it was fun for everyone. You only need to pay for enterance into Penang Island, going out by ferry is free. You should try it if you have the chance. cheap cheap also. Anyway, wedding in Malaysia is awesome man. The food is great and atmosphere like a big family gathering. I heard kala ok is a must. Everyone had a good time. You dun see much of kieran cause he scared of yumseng(cheering for the wedding couple). I took him out for a walk most of the time. We recorded yumseng from kayzia, take a look.

Penang 2007

Hi everyone, sorry for the silent. I have being busy with a couple of things. OK, I am lazy, I slacked. Anyway, I shall start with my Penang trip with the Koppe family. Not laupei (father in hokkien), but Oma, Michelle and Marteen. We decided to drive up Penang. Ok, to be precise, Oma and Michelle drove us there. I useless, no license. Total there were 4 adults and 3 kids. The Foos family slept over at Koppe’s house and we set off at about 7plus in the morning from checkpoint. The journey was long but we were ready. Parents if you are thinking of traveling long distance with the kids. You need a few things. A big car is a must! We were in a MPV. Make sure there is some sort of entertainment. In this car, there is a built in screen and 2 extra DVD players for the 2 kids. There is even a DVD charge at the back seat so that the kids can take turn to charge and watch the cartoons at the same time. We also have 4-5 extra soft cushions for the kids to sleep on. Blanket also. Last but not least, lots of snack to keep the drivers awake (Actually I took the most!). The ride was smooth and we reached Holiday Inn (Great hotel!) at 5pm.We had many breaks and kids were not cranky (Very important, otherwise whole holiday gone). As you can see the kids were all ready to play!
