Philips in Penang III

Pringin Mall
Jalan Penang
Sunway Hotel Georgetown
Tanjong Tokong
Expensive Condo at Gurney Drive

Well after visiting Seberang Prai we came back the Island via the
bridge, "ka-ching!" RM7.00 donated to the bridge operator !!
RM7.00 for 13.5 km = RM0.518518 per km.... not cheap !!

Arrived at Georgetown and proceeded to Jalan Penang and went
into a small old shop for the Cendol & Friend Kuey Tiao... hmmm.!!
Lovely !! Lovely !! Lovely !!
But the Penang Laksa there = So So and the Popiah = Failed !!
Wah ha ha ha ha .... William came out and goyang kepala all the
way to hotel.

After the makaning we checked in at Sunway Hotel which
has the Broadband Internet facilities... RM165 per room for this
new E-services.... not bad I guess :)

Time = 2:45 when we checked in at Sunway hotel but the staff
told us that we have to wait for about 15 minutes. Reason? Cause
the previous guest has done a late check out !!! WTF William was
jumping cause by 3:00pm the room was still not ready.
What kind of service is this? What a bad way to start a day !!

Well, 20 minutes later we met at the hotel lobby again and waiting
to go to "Jalan Jalan Cari Makan" Well actually went to Pringin Mall
and had a walk there. The Pirates activity and IT activities there
are really not bad !! And our local Penang friend told us that
Pringin Mall has becoming one of the most happening place in
Georgetown , I think the reason would be :

1. Easy access, good traffic flow.
2. Good location at the heart of City.
3. Next to Komtar (tallest building) can see it from even Indonesia.
4. Good car park ( have to revolved like hell -_-" though)
5. Good view from car park.
6. A lot of food available in the mall.
7. A lot of cheap books in the mall.
8. Plenty of IT Shops there.
9. Alot of SYT there... hmmm... hmmmm *_*
10. Cheap CD-Rom and DVD-Rom.

Oh yeah I have to mention this, well we went and wanted to
purchase a few DVD tittle at the mall, and upon checking with the
sales person there, their reply are as below :

" This one Kung Fu is clear and crispy ! Can buy !"
" This one cinema version ! No good !"
" This one 90% clear only ! Don't buy first !"
" This one not too clear, but can see also !"

WTF? Let me tell you that among all the Uncle Ho's staff, those
person in Penang seems to be the most polite and sincere !!

Try to ask if how is the quality of the DVD-Rom in KL or PJ or even
in Hong Kong and all you will get is
" Clear ! sure clear !"
" Clear ! Master copy !" and all these rubbish ! And end of the day
you go home you will see alot of cinema head at the screen !!

So, both William and Me are really happy to have seen all these
polite chaps giving good solution to us :)

And on the way back we purchased a few book by Chai Lan, the
Hong Kong writters who write about traveling, making movie, eating
and womens :) waha ha haha ....
Even the books are pirated version = RM 4.50 each !! Holy Cow !!

See why I like Penang?

Well, later of the day we went for the best crab & shrimp & sotong
in town at Tanjung Tokong. Well it was good, cheap and !! Yummy
I am already a regular customer there mate !! Ate so much that
the colestrol from my body purged into my eyes and ears...
that night, I see nothing and hear nothing.... just the taste of
crabs and shrimps in my mouth.... yummy !!!

On the way back to hotel we passed through Gurney Drive and
saw all those expensive apartment there. Once my customer told
me that some of the apartment are very expensive, my customer
Mr. Ong & my conversation :

" Look this one, RM 1.6 million each" he pointed at one of it.
" Hmm? RM 160,000 not expensive what? " I mumbled.
" No ! RM 1,600,000 ... " Mr. Ong repeated.
" -_-"" WTF? " 1.6 million for a freaking condo? " I asked.
" yes" Mr. Ong
" Sehr kostspielig " and I did two legs in the sky in car !! Proton Waja !!

Well, now see? I told you that the properties in Penang is very
very expensive one! But you wouldn't listen !! Nah nah nah !!
