Visiting to Penang

On the 18th of February 2007 / Sunday, my friends and I went to Kulim, Kedah for Udien's wedding. We gathered in Shah Alam on Saturday night and departed to Kulim on Sunday morning at 8.00 a.m. We arrived in Kulim at 5.45pm which took us almost 9 hours on the road. During the journey, my friend's car (perdana) had problem with the tyre in Gopeng, Perak. Luckly we managed to get help from the people around there. Unfortunately, once again my another friend's car broke down which is also perdana V6. This time, there was much smoke at the engine's car. We managed to get help from police officer in simpang pulai. We left the car at police station there. Then we continued our journey. This time, kancil and kelisa which were left behind before this lead our way to Kulim. Alhamdullillah, all of us arrived there safely.

After leaving the wedding ceremony in Kedah, we went to Pulau Pinang. We were so excited during that night because we took ferry to go to Pulau Pinang. We arrived in Pinang at 11.30 pm. Then, we had our dinner at Hameed Sup restaurant. We rent 2 rooms at Hotel Malaysia. We had a walk around the town. The next morning, we had our breakfast at D Kayu restaurant. I ate roti canai for my breakfast. After eating there, we went to mydin, komtar and parkson for shopping. I only bought buah pala and asam2 for my parents and friends in Malacca.

Sharp at 2.00pm, we checked out from hotel. This time, we didnt ride ferry but we used Jambatan Pulau Pinang to go to butterworth. In the journey to go back to Shah Alam, we stopped at Hentian Sungai Perak and Tapah. It was raining and a little bit jam during the journey. We arrived in Shah Alam at 10.30pm. Then, we had dinner at Hameeza restaurant at section 9. After having our dinner, some of my friends and me moved to malacca. This time, i drove myvi to go to malacca. I arrived at my house at 1.00 am. My friends continued their journey that night to Johor Bahru as they had something to do tomorrow morning.

In conclusion, it was a very long journey. Although we faced a lot of difficulties, we managed to accomplish our mission. Actually, this is one of the ways that we can do gathering/reunion among our friends. Wedding ceremony is the best way to gather all of my friends (ex-uitm shah alam students) and hopefully we can still keep in touch although most of us are getting busy with our life!

p/s: congratulations to the newlyweds, udin and aida. May Allah bless both of u!
