The road trip from Hard Rock Hotel to Van Gohh Eminent Hotel was very very long. It took about 2 hours or more? There was a major traffic jam in the city area near George town. But the time we got out of the jam, the kids were very restless in the car.
Fortunately, checking in was a breeze! The hotel rooms looks pretty new. I heard they just renovated last year, or rather opened last year. But this hotel was situated in a really odd place, smacked in the middle of a residential precinct. The closest mall was Aeon Mall but we had to get a Grab to bring us there.
At Aeon Mall where the kids had KFC for lunch.
KFC Malaysia serves Sweet Mustard sauce for nuggets! How interesting.
Bought bubble tea for myself... I'm always in search for a good cup of bubble tea!
snacks for the kids while they stay in the hotel room
4 of us who made it to the wedding! There were others whom we weren't too close with for photo taking....hahaha. Coincidentally, all of us were dressed in shades of blue!
The bride! Her rainbow bouquet of dried flowers were done by one of our colleague!
Hubs and the kids were lazing in the hotel room while I was attending the wedding. Above picture was hubs sent to me as an update! hahah...
First march in, the bride in an emerald green gown, looking very regal indeed.
For the 2nd march in, although it was rather weird for the groom to walk in silently on his own, but everyone was focused on the bride who came in herself with a mic in her hand and started to sing a song for the groom. It seemed to me that this wedding is very much a platform for the bride to steal all the limelight and the groom looked more like a prop! ...can't believe I'm saying this but I actually felt quite bad for the groom even though the bride is my colleague. Well, as long as no one is complaining....and I'm getting my glass of wine refilled....ssssh.
scroll down to see what we had for the chinese dinner...
As per norm, chinese weddings do end very late... so here's a photo of my kids when I finally made it back to the hotel room. They were all zzz.
And it was the re-launch of the hotel's opening...and there was fireworks at twelve midnight. How peculiar. But I suppose it's easy to have fireworks in Malaysia as compared to Singapore yah?
And that's the finale to our Penang trip in Malaysia. Too hot to truly enjoy Penang for what she really is and too short a trip to be relaxed. Hopefully we can come back another time when the weather is more palatable and probably on a longer time since there's so much good food here in Penang to be explored!
so folks, avoid Penang during March cos it's too hot.
