Penang: Day 3

Day 3: Flood!

All of us wake up groggily and realised that our area was flooded. The whole stretch of road was flooded and we cannot drive out.

We are so stuck in out apartment. Doomed!


taken outside our window. Luckily our apartment compound was not flooded. Just the main road outsite.

We searched the whole place and to our horror, the house was not stocked with Maggi Mees!!! Die lor, stuck in flood and there's no food for the five of us... Oh NO! This is bad. Really bad.

I kept smsed Snoopy not to come because the road was flooded but hor he didn't reply me lor...i was so worried that he will force his way through and spoil his car...


see that arrow? that's Bomba Bot Penyelamat lor. See how dramatic the situation was?



40 minutes later...

Ding dong ding dong!


We were all wondering who's that when i went and open the door.



Surprise!!!!!!!


Standing in front of me is a wet Snoopy holding an umbrella in one hand and another two very big heavy plastic bags in another.


Snoopy brings food! He tapao breakfast for us! Yayy!!!!! We will not die of starvation afterall. Wahhhh Snoopy is like our savior...That moment is like so dramatic la....All of us were so happy to see him and relieved that we have food even though we were stranded in our apartment.


This is what Snoopy brings for us. A lot hor? Stranded in flood also got Hokkien Mee (Prawn Mee in Klang) for breakfast yay!!!




Snoopy: Our savior! He carry all those heavy foods and walked in from some construction site to minimized passing the flood area to deliver to us lor...See, how sweet of him? Because of this, his finger was numb and lost sensory feeling for a few days. Luckily now his fingers are ok d now thank God...



my bro was happily playing with his new toy amidst the flood



Once we see the flood water subside a little bit, all of us faster run away and we headed to Swatow Lane for lunch. Our lunch is at New World Park. The fact that all of us are starving, it did not occur to us to stop and take photos. Gomen!!! But the food there is just as delicious as i remembered it. Fantastic!

After lunch, we went to...

Khoo Kongsi

Khoo Kongsi (Khoo Clan House) main building

Next we go to,

Cheah Kongsi




see the red banner behind me? that's the banner that says the building is under UNESCO World Heritage Site. Khoo Kongsi has it, Cheah Kongsi has it, Ceong Fatt Tze Mansion has it and many more. So if you wanna sight seeing Penang's historical/heritage places, look out for all this red banners!



look at those good ol' "bangku"



Dinner: BBQ Steamboat
It's located at Jalan Nagore, behind Penang Plaza and it's buffet style. RM 19.00
per pax. It has two soup base, tomyam and soup. The aluminium foil area around the soup pot is for you to BBQ grill your food!



look at all those food on the table, this is only our first round ^.^v




Roy's busy putting butter to grill food



this is how it looks like once we are done eating...look at all those carbon on the aluminium foil...





ice-cream for dessert. Not only do they have ice cream for dessert, they have chocolate fondue, mix fruit cocktail, mini fruit tarts and some kuihs as well...talk about choices...



After that we went and round the Penang town for a night view. We even went to "Love Lane" but everything seems very decent so...a bit dissapointed. Perhaps "Love" needs a break too. Its Hari Raya eve so perhaps all balik kampung d haha



We went to Gurney Drive for a walk lor. The sea water is polluted with junks but the tide is high





cold cool pose!




can you guessed which is which?



That's a wrap for Day 3. No supper that night because everyone is still full from the BBQ steamboat...and we are just across the road from the famous Gurney Drive makan place...wuwu..
