About 3 weeks ago, I blogged that I was too tired for a holiday.
But after looking at my condition, Paul said we just had to go.
It was also my belated birthday present, which by the way happened on 1st Feb but I didn't have time to blog about it. The past few posts will explain why.
I should blog about my birthday. Hmmm ... okay, later.
So last weekend, during the long weekend due to Thaipusam, Paul and I took off to Penang and checked into the G Hotel. It's the newest hotel along Gurney Drive. It's chic and modern. It maintains an air of classiness without the usual hotel stuffiness.
I slept (a lot!) and went shopping just next door in Gurney Plaza and bought 3 pairs of shoes in this place called Shoe Point which had nice shoes and most importantly, not available in KL. Im sick of shopping in Vincci and Nose and seeing another girl wear the same shoe the next day.
Ah, shoes! That's still a passion of mine and that makes me happy. Will post a pic of the new shoes later. They're prussion blue, canary yellow and pale gold!
We met one of Paul's friends and we did what Penang was famous for - eat. We went to a hawker centre and ordered char kway teow, tom yum soup, corn, muah chee, chicken wings, fried noodles, BBQ fish and more. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't that great. Not up to par to what I remember Penang's food as being anyway. What happened? Paul thinks the best hawkers moved to KL.
We also spent an afternoon at the pool side, driving around and I went to the spa too.
All in all, a nice restful lil getaway. It was a nice 3 days.
Unfortunately the first day at work after the holiday negated all the therapeutic qualities of the holiday.
I'm still in the office now. I better go innit?
It's the even of Valentine's Day too! But there goes our dinner plans.
Have a good Valentine's Day everyone.
Wishing you lots of love, hugs and kisses.
Promise I'll blog more and more often but for now, I better get back to my hubby. Toodles!
