Work has officially started. spent the past one week in Penang for training. it was certainly tough fighting against the sleepiness during training. and the modules were all superly boring. wasn't paying much attention most of the time lo. and i'm sure many had fallen asleep at some point in time. but one good thing is tat we are paid to be trained. haha.
heard of how fantastic the food are in penang. but i found it so-so only lo. and shopping wise certainly can't be measured up to that in hong kong and taiwan.
shall let the photos do the talking now...
DAY 1
off to penang with sis~
devilz oso starting work together~
flew off in SIA on 13th Aug which marked the first official working day in EY.
discovered stains in the cup from which we drank our tea! wad has SIA been doing?!?!
had a rest at the hotel lounge upon arrival. were actually waiting for the lunch buffet to be ready lah.
first lunch buffet in Evergreen Laurel Hotel in Penang.
our spread for lunch. were amazed by the variety of desserts but it only looked nice. wasn't tat fantastic afterall.
gathered in the ballroom after lunch for some group activities. this is the place where much boredom had been built up because our training lessons were held in here.
one of the partners even haf got slide handouts for addressing us!
formed our groups and started to play tis similarities and differences game which were never collected. waste of time only.
our group's resume. we named ourselves 'Evergreen' aka '永绿'
Fanny, from our group, won the people puzzle game! yay~
dinner at Gurney hawker
food was ok. not too bad but nothing tat fantastic too.
rainbow!
'bo bo cha cha' for dessert
bot Yakult from the supermarket @ Gurney Plaza. they are a must-drink everyday to aid digestion! always haf them whenever i go on holiday overseas. haha.
our hotel room. big and clean! 5 star indeed! managed to swap rooms so tat i can share one wif sis. lucky us if not dunno how we gonna survive wif our stuffs all mixed up. but everyone else were changing rooms too lah. not surprising since we all prefer to share room with familiar people rather than strangers lo.
view from our hotel room. a pity we weren't facing the sea lah. the hotel was actually situated near the seaside lo.
DAY 2
breakfast buffet. we had buffet for all our meals lah. and 2 tea time a day. can see that i haf put on much weight liao lo.

started raining halfway during dinner and we had to carry our table to a shelter nearby lo. so unlucky~
heading towards Prangin Mall~
Prangin Mall~ it's an old building wif quite a few shoes stores which got all the gals excited. took fancy in one pair which was so popular tat many had already bot it and so decided not to buy. else everyone will be wearing the same pair lah.
headed to a pub after shopping. but it wasn't tis pub. tink devil lim juz anyhow took tis pix one. haha. we were at 'Soho' pub lah.
DAY 5
klunch @ Gurney Plaza. a lunch set with drinks and desserts for only ard RM10. so cheap!

early dinner @ a so-called fast food in the airport. forgotten it's name alr. but the food was quite nice oh.
dun dey look appetising?? haha!
we all bot quite a few
dou sha bing and
ma ti su back home. and it's from a famous brand in penang. tasted and proven so! hee~
the plane which brought us back home. and it happened to be overbooked. needed volunteers for a later flight by offering RM300 lo. if it was S$300, i'm sure dere would be a long queue of volunteers lah. including myself. haa.
"the twins are finally not together!" tat was the comment made by TTC when we settled down on the plane. cuz one guy sat on the wrong seat which was supposed to be mine. and sis was supposed to be seated beside me. but i decided not to change seat with the guy since he seemed to be seated comfortably with his newspapers alr. ended up sitting wif Hanna instead. but she has been a good company nevertheless!
i had the window seat and got the rare chance to see the clouds up-close. but tis pix wasn't taken by me lah. haha.
Home Sweet Home!
