And so we begun our ONLY girls trip to Penang on Sunday morning which was 22nd of May 2011. It was our first trip together, i mean for all five of us. We are like fingers on our hands, sticking to each other in Uni since Semester 3 i guess. We had early breakfast, lunch, pre-PBL sessions, finding informations together all the time. Melissa was driving all of US and the car was actually full of luggage, pillows and people. We chit-chatted throughout the whole journey, and of course we did gossiping. HAHA. Its a norm actually in fact that we are girls.
Our breakfast at Oldtown before the journey up north started.
Please do not say that we are childish cause we were bringing them along for the trip. There's blue piggy on the left, pink hippo, kungfu panda, orangy piggy and xin tiao on the right.
This is the breathtaking sunrise on the first day right outside the window of the apartment.
I like it so much and it made my day.
Our look on the first day to be a volunteer in Penang Adventist Hospital.
*Notice--Melissa is not in cause she anti-photo taking session sometimes.
Urm, when we talked about voluntary work, u will think of helping in the orphanage or old folks home. but we are doing it in the hospital. Indeed, i think this hospital is special in its own way and its AWESOME. Penang Adventist Hospital is involve in the charity work since 1924. This hospital is taking up 50 children who needs heart surgery in the whole country annually. And its my first time knowing that there are private hospital which is willing to do so. There are volunteers from other country who successfully raised funds of about 25k in the hospital itself which is sufficient to pay for a patient's surgery fees. Isn't that sounds meaningful?? Besides, if u become a volunteer here, u can actually help in different departments of the hospital such as marketing and development, bakery or pharmacy department.
So, do i look good in my volunteer's vest??? =P
The first working day at the bakery department where we helped to pack breads and put on labels and price tags. The breads are AWESOME if u are a bread and cakes lover. They are having different variety of breads from wholemeal bun to potato buns to muffins and egg tarts. And they even have breads that are low or without sugars which are suitable for diabetic patients. i myself heart the bakery shop a lot. and i wish i could own one some day in the future.
Among all the breads sold there, egg tarts and cinnamon rolls were the best sellers.
and packing the cinnamon rolls can be a hectic job when u saw the rolls are loaded fully on the tray that are taller than me!!!!!
As a volunteer, of course there are no paid given, but every volunteer is entitled a vegetarian lunch with 3 dishes and fruits. And i can say that their food is quite good!!!
Besides working in the bakery shop, we were given a chance to expose ourselves in the working environment in a pharmacy. what we did basically were to wait for the labels of the drugs for a respective patient to be printed out and then search for the medication and count the correct amount of medication and pack it. these medication will then be checked by the pharmacist on duty.
This is Miss Joanne who is a Manager of Pharmacist in PAH at the age of 30. She's kind and talkative. and she's willing to share her experience to us.
Pharmacist to be--KOK LE FEI
my real working environment that is full of stress in one year's time. OMG ROFL
**********************************************************************************
Okay, i am done with the Voluntary thingy.
Its the fun time nawwwwwwwwwwwwww.
1) chilling at Starbucks, Queensbay Mall.
SO we are god damn free after the maximum 5 hours of work at PAH. We reported ourselves to Queensbay malls almost everyday. One of our favourite spot was Starbucks.
We had nothing to do and we took paper to draw. Its a game actually to see your character.
the main thingy that u need to draw is a tree, a snake, and a river if i am not mistaken.
There's special meaning behind your drawing according to your own creativity.
♥♥♥ The girls ♥♥♥
And do u know that our pig, beer, dog and hippo can actually talked. They will be having gossips time every morning at 8am.
and this picture was taken on the day that Kungfu Panda was on screen.
The panda was giving lecture on how to play kung fu to the rest. hehehe
3) Movie time
2) Food Hunting

3) Touring around famous places in Penang
Penang Hill
i love the cool air on top of the hill and the breathtaking scenery of the penang island and sea.
I saw and felt the hard work of human developing a place, and build up the bridge to connect two places.
And you will feel its incredible.
I would say BRAVO and AWESOME.
i had always love architecture and building in special design.
i would travel one day round the world to witness them with my own eyes.
Hard Rock hotel
Its still new in Penang Island.
and i am gonna stay there for 3days and 2 nights soon this year.
we were there in the Hard Rock Cafe having our tea break while waiting for the results for Semester 6 EOS.
I still remembered how afraid i am worrying that i might failed the EOS and there's no holiday for me anymore!!!! OMG and thank GOD i passed my exam with flying colours of myself. =P
Seaside and beach and sands
I wish i could stay nearby the seaside with my love ones one day. looking at the sun rise and sun set everyday without the stress in the city.
♥♥♥ Its US ♥♥♥
Celebration for EOS
We had our celebration for passing the EOS by having dinner at The Ship. Awesome food with great people at great place.
*i remembered we laughed our lungs out in the car about someone in the ball 2011. Something red colour, curry puff, a cigarette, and someone's wife. Secret code that only five of us will know. hehe
*i remembered we talked about many many things before we slept every night, in the car and while we were eating.
*i remembered we queue-ing up to use the toilet everyday.
*i remembered we squeezed into a room and slept together.
*i remembered i walked infront of all of u with only my panties and bra.
