Driving to Pearl of the Orient

It was a smooth drive slightly before noon to Penang to meet up with a friend. Quite a surprise that the traffic was clear all the way. Even there was not any congestion at the Penang bridge and managed to pick up the friend on time (she is staying at same unit with composer of One United Malaysia song). Went for lunch together at Gurney Plaza, allowed to exchanged things at Parkson and searched for new things in Popular bookstore and MPH bookstore. It was a great outing before sending her back at 6.00pm. Felt that the trip was incomplete without eating Penang food. Went back to Gurney Drive and have few of Penang hawker food. It was worth the drive even though need to use the bridge on the way back instead of a planned ferry trip. The queue at the ferry stretches all the way up to main road and decided not to waste more time and use the bridge instead.
