Headed to Bukit Mertajam for Sarah and Mahathir’s wedding ceremony… They are my best friends from JPPK YAB when I studied in UUM. No one ever predicted that they are actually destined together… I wish them all the very best in life and semoga bahagia sehingga ke anak cucu!

In the late afternoon, we went to the Museum and Art Gallery of Penang which is situated along Jalan Farquhar. To our surprise, Mein’s mother saw her grandmother’s photo in one part of the museum! Quickly took some photos with the ancestor.

It’s actually prohibited to take photos in the museum but you can never stop a blogger from snapping his way all day long! 🙂 There was a section where they displayed Kokeshi dolls from Japan. They were cute but I’m not sure why were they brought in and exhibited in this museum…

No photos please! 😛
 
It was quite a short visit at the museum and they were closing. They people there kept on repeating themselves reminding us that they were closing in 5-10 minutes… Chasing us away! Bad bad bad! Muey mal! (Spanish)

Then we drove all the way to Batu Ferringhi and managed to sight see for awhile… before being hit by heavy rain!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!! There were all sorts of water sports akin water ski, boat riding, banana boat and etc, but we were there not for these…
 
We had dinner at the food court in Padang Kota Lama and to our surprise, we found the best fried oyster and siput sedut ever which were cheap! So cheap that you would believe it…! Will definitely come back for more…
