Post 115: Travel Blog#2 3D2N to Penang
The very last time I went was last year but only stayed one night so this time I went there for 2 nights. I love Penang so much because Penang was so clean and consider a safe state for travelling. The info/photos I'm gonna provide below may not be so detail, but I will do my best to provide more info as I could.
PS: Photos are taken with my iPhone 6s
PS: All info of restaurants/hotels/cafes/Malls will be listed at the end of my post.
Let's get started!
Day ONE (28th Aug'16)
We started our journey about 10 something in the morning and we arrived around 2pm to the hotel. No jam at all because it wasn't a peak hour/school holiday/public holiday. So all the way was so smooth although we saw 2 accidents but it wasn't jam at all. So blessed that we could arrived safely and smooth.
While we were on our way to Penang, we stopped by one of the R&R for a toilet break and get Baskin Robbin :) I always love to eat their Mint Chocolate Chips but they do not have it so I've choose Strawberry Cheesecake & Pistachio Almond, Awesome ice cream!
We used another route to Penang Island which was the Bayan Lepas route. We went all the way to Cititel Hotel, Penang.
Hotel Lobby.
Waiting Area
The way to the Japanese restaurant & buffet
After you checked in, went into the lift, you will need to insert key card to access your room floor .
Just a simple steps to follow.
Our hotel location was such a good location because around our hotel have many cafe/restaurant/convenient store. But one thing was when we were on our way up to parking, There parking was so narrow and limited. We went to check in then went up to our hotel room. AND, our room was facing the sea:) Awesome view.
After you enter the room, on your right was the bathroom.
In front of us was our bedroom :)
Our Single bed for TWO
Another view standing from the window
So we went to tour around the hotel before we walked out to have our late lunch
Wellness Centre. This way is to the massage parlor, swimming, jacuzzi, gym
Receptionist counter
I felt so disgusted with their pool. They did not clean their pool. (EWWW)
To the Conference Room
After a tour of the hotel, we walked out of the hotel to see what are the food they have around.
We saw this Inch Cafe was so crowded with people so we thought we could eat some main courses. It was so weird after we get in because no one serve us or give us any menu. We were so blur so He went to ask the staffs, We saw most of them were eating Burger Lab so He ordered one chicken & beef. He told me that they collaborated with Burger Lab so ya.. Go all the way to Penang to have Burger Lab (haha) By the way, there were another 2 more cafes inside. One was like a bar and another one was cafe.

After our dinner, we went to Straits Quay to chill with a glass of beer. the very last time we came here too, we love this place a lot.
All the yacht was so nice. Can I get one please? :(

After chillin', we went to Northam Beach.
Because we were hungry already so we went to get some food from the food court for supper. We went to bought Oyster Omelettes and it was SOOOOOO GOOODDDD! The best so far.

Day TWO (29th Aug'16)
Woke up at 10am, get ready to have brunch. Today we decided to hunt for Penang food ONLY.
We wanted to eat something at one of the hawker stalls near by Gurney Plaza but they do not open on Monday. There was another hawker stall nearby as well so we just stopped by and grab some Bak Kut Teh at Song River Coffee Shop (So sorry, no Bak Kut Teh photo) The Bak Kut Teh was actually not bad, quite a lot of people eating there. There soup wasn't much MSG and is so pure.

Post 121: Updated - SIA Medical Check Up
PS: This blog will be a little TMI, so if you feel disgusted or annoyed, you may skip this blog :) This is an updated blog about my SIA Medical Check Up. I was praying so hard, worried and excited at the same time for my Medical Check Up. As I've mentioned in my SIA Cabin Crew Interview , I will be doing my Medical Check Up on the 1st November 2016 (Tuesday). Unfortunately, 'time of the month' is here:( not exactly on Tuesday. It came on Saturday. I kept on thinking for few days before my medical check up, was worried whether does it affect my medical check up? Should I extend to the following week? Should I call the clinic? I have no idea what to do. On monday, I asked my mom about it. She said "Oh, yes, it does affect." I'm like "ok.. can you call the clinic for me?" I wasn't convenient to call the clinic because I was in the office. So mom help to call for me. The clinic told my mom that is better to extend my Medical ...
Post 119: SIA Cabin Crew @ Renaissance Hotel, Kuala Lumpur_Part 1
Hi Readers! This blog will be full of WORDS! No photos:) Know why? YES, I'm talking about SIA Cabin Crew job recruitment in Malaysia. I decided to blog about it before I lost my memory (hahah) As you know that Singapore Airline is a top leading airline in the world. SIA is the best choice for me to step out from my comfort zone that's why I tried to go for the interview. I wasn't aware about this cabin crew job at all, I heard it from my sister because she is planning to go for the interview so I was like thinking why not I give it a try as well right? Before I start elaborating on my story, I would like to share with you about myself. Few years back, I wanted to join SIA Cabin Crew team or maybe MAS Airline but during that time I wasn't ready to step out from my comfort zone and from my family, my home. Also, I actually went to do some research on the SIA Cabin Crew interviews from other candidates, whom went for the interview and blogged about it, I felt wo...
