My fun and exciting long vacation (PENANG)
我那好玩有趣的悠长假期 (槟岛篇)
周日晚饭后跟着芬姨和老弟启程回到槟岛，感觉上真的是既熟悉却又陌生得有那么一点儿的无奈，想想看离开该岛已将近一整年了，果然最无情的还是光阴呃...
Were on the way back to Penang Island together with aunt and bro after dinner on Sunday night, everything seemed to be so familiar yet kind of quite out-of-the-blue for me too... couldn't help since it'd been almost one whole year since I was gone...

周一带着老弟到 e-gate 和 Tesco 去吃吃走走看看逛逛，本来还以为能够拍到一些槟威大桥的美丽相片来留念的... 失败了啦 T___T

特别选购了一对木偶送给宇轩 （干叔叔的长子，感觉上新郎好像也算是我的半个小弟呃?） 和他的新婚妻子。抱歉啊，十月十一日当天一大早就得驾车回去了，无法参加你们的喜筵了。希望你们会喜欢这小小的礼物咯 XD
Bought something cute for Yu Xuan (dad's god brother's eldest son, well this made the groom kind of like my younger brother too I guess?) and his newly wedded wife.

接着，我们还杀到所谓的 Penang Times Square 去 “考察” 一番。大致上除了忙碌的建筑工人和各类承包商之外就什么都没有了； 就连老弟一到步都 “忙着” 观察天花板呵水管和冷气系统等，这就是他实习期得来的职业病吗?
Next, went over to the so-called Penang Times Square for some "site inspection". Well, basically nothing much yet but full of busy workers and contractors here and there; even bro was "busy" looking at the ceilings and piping and cooling system by the time we get there, side effect of his internship I guess?

该是午餐时间了，一丛 Penang Times Square 出来就指引着老弟到了 Jalan Nagor 去吃久违了的 US Pizza；之前他老是埋怨说找不到啦不懂得在哪儿啦等的，现在应该终于知道了吧 =.=
Well, almost time for lunch. Guided bro to the US Pizza outlet of Jalan Nagor right after we left the mall; before this he kept complaining about things like unable to locate the shop properly and so, I hope he'd remember the location now =.=

后来的我们还到了皇后湾商场去选购一些绿茶，不经意地在一楼那儿发现了这么一间名为 "Yokoso Shiyuki Beauty & Novelty Mart" 的店铺，里边有很多很可爱的猫咪摆设呢 @___@ 真不知当初我是怎么控制得了自己不去买下任何东西的...
We were then stopped by at Queensbay Mall to shop for teas, and happened to bump into a cute shop located at the first floor with the title "Yokoso Shiyuki Beauty & Novelty Mart", they got lots of cute cat themed decorative items there @___@ Wondering how I restrained myself from purchasing any...

We siblings then decided to call it a day and went back to our apartment for dinner, and to get ready for bro's house shifting, Streamyx termination (a great headache, what a mess =.=) and so... and officially left the island on Tuesday's noon~

That's all ~ As for those who're in Penang still, my sincere apologies for not meeting up, well as you know I got piles of tasks waiting for my brilliant judgments and consultancies as usual~ XD
