After a decade of being friends, the long anticipated trip to Penang was my first trip out of KL with my girlfriends from school. I think for the three of us (B, Sharifah and I), it was the chance to unwind and relax from hectic KL.

This was our first trip, to anywhere, on a train. The idea of it sounds romantic and nostalgic, no? Honestly, traveling by train at night is not the way to go. One, it was pitch black outside and I was waiting for a ghost to appear out the window. Two, we did not get sleep because we were afraid of missing our stop. Regardless, we safely arrive in the wee hours of the morning.

Let me just say that I enjoyed Penang a lot and would not mind to go up North again. B and Sharifah were great traveling companions and if we were to have another trip, I want to save a seat beside either of them =)

As for our hostess, she’s the best as she fed us well (B gaining 2.5 kg speaks for itself). Thanks Jules, you’re the best personal tour guide we could have.

To the three of them, thank you for the company and I can’t wait for our next trip.

Joke of the weekend:

As we pulled away from the KL Sentral Station platform

B : The train is moving. The train is moving. Eh, wait. Why is it moving backwards? Why isn’t it moving *signaling with hands* frontwards?

Me : Forward. The word is forward, darling.

B : Yes, yes. Eh, don’t tell my boss I said that, okay?

Me : Hahaha. Okay, okay.
