The Pearl Of The Orient - PENANG!

I went on a much deserved holiday in Penang with high-school girlfriends. Prior to the trip, I covered the 59th Umno general assembly.

It was my first time being in the team to covering the annual assembly. It was an eye-opener and made my understand more about the political party as the Government of the country.

It was also very tiring, to say the rest. I guess being the youngest with the least experience, I was determined to prove my worth as a journalist but at the same time I kept second-guessing myself during the assignment.

The cumulation of stress and exhaustion made me fell sick.

Thank heavens for the Penang trip! Just what I needed to recuperate :D

This is the first time my girlfriends and I trying the very popular fish spa. It was ticklish but fun! I would definitely 'feed' my dead skin cells to the fishes again ;)

Taking a breather while pretending not to see the camera.


The bird let out a very lovely chirping sound.

This is Julia, my friend who is currently doing her masters degree in USM. Go girl!

The very long night market at Batu Feringghi. I couldn't decide on what to buy!

Glorious Penang food. I gained 2.5kg over two days. Not kidding. You can see me pinching into my meal already at the back :P

Going home :(

It was my first trip outside KL without my family. I had a great time with them. And it did help me forget about stress. Wish we had more time to explore the island and eat more food.


I will be back, Penang!
