And they lived happily ever after...

Tue 100908

Once again 2 ole inmates of Lot 10 OFH flew from their nest. And this time for a couple of days. 2D1N, to be exact.

Well, we had this wedding dinner invitation from a cousin's family in Penang, to be held on Mon 090908 at a restaurant in a hotel there. Arrangements were earlier made for both to put up for the night in our fav niece's place in Tanjung Bungah area. Mainly cos the dinner was held, of course, at night and it would be late in the night by the time it was over. You see, this ole guy has lost confidence in travelling late at night...sorry but growing old does have its minus points...in my case, that is.

As usual, we left AS after a late breakfast at our corner coffee shop. Kwan Lo mee. Reloaded our T&C card for toll payments and off we went.

Plan was to go for walk-walk in Gurney Plaza on arrival on the island. It was a lucky walk-walk session. My other half found a blouse she liked enough to replace what she brought along to wear for the dinner event. A happy event!

Lunch was in its food court. It was Indian Fried Mee for my other half & Eco Rice for me.

After lunch we proceeded to our fav niece's place. Had a long chat session. My bday came surprisingly well ahead of time...my fav niece had ready a present for lil ole me! Now not only my other half but me, too, had a new "wardrobe" for the dinner function!
Also had fun playing a few games of what I call "Football in a Box?" with my fav grandnephew. Guess what? Me lost all games... Me first timer la. Congrats, ET...

Before we knew it, time came to prep for the dinner do. We then joined our fav niece & fmly for the trip to the dinner venue...a great ride it was.

The Wedding Dinner? It was a grand affair. Too many tables to count! Here is pic of bride & groom during the "champagne-pouring" ceremony....
And this is a special one of me & my...grandnephew?



In red "pirate" headscarf...??


Surprisingly, beer & even whisky was served during the dinner. Me had a few glasses...hehe...me not driving that night, you see...


After breakfast the next day, we were invited for an early lunch. Special Fish-head Curry at a location one would not expect...one of the sidelanes of Carnarvon Street. Yup, the curry was special (with giant prawns & squids, too) & both enjoyed it. Besides the main dish, we also had prawn "crackers" with real prawns. Thanks a meg, KI!!

Later in the afternoon, we sidetracked on our way to the Penang Bridge to make our regular stops at a fav relative's house. After a long chat and a promise to return to celebrate the sp day of 2 of them, we headed for home.

A stop was made at SP for a quick dinner. Nothing special. Usual hawker fare. We reached Lot 10 just in time before it rained cats & dogs!! Phew...
