We had been looking forward to this trip for a long time, especially since it was going to be Livi's first plane ride. It was also a dry-run (sort of) before the gruelling 10-hr flight to NZ. We were in Penang to attend cousin Ze Yen's wedding.
Livi survived the plane rides very well, either drinking from her bottle (en route to Penang) or sleeping (return) so I'd say she fared well in the dry-run.
Although we didn't quite explore beyond our hotel (Vistana), 5th Aunty's house and a few kopitiams, we had an enjoyable time, catching up with cousins, aunties and uncles, and of coures, keeping ourselves up-to-date on the new additions (little nephews & nieces).
Unfortunately, we don't have any photos to show for all of these coz we most carelessly lost the camera. Till now, we can't be sure where we left/lost it. But whilst the images are gone, the memories will prevail (hopefully). But just in case my memory fails too, here's the blog as backup. Think I'll also ask Ze Yen if his photographer's got any pixs of us...

Dad was really fascinated with the food there, especially the Penang Laksa and Cha Kway Teow. Guess I'm not surprise coz afterall, Penang is renowned for its street food. Gurney Drive fare was so-so -- probaby good enough for tourists or the uninitiated (maybe the Westerner's taste palette?) but not us Singaporeans. In the end, it was a nondescript kopitiam near 7th Aunty's house that got Dad. After that, we went there 2 days straight and probably ate more laksa and cha kway teow than we should for 3 months. The wedding dinner itself was quite entertaining with singers belting out Mandarin pop tunes.
Livi was quite the darling there with everyone singing praises of how pretty she looked, and trying to coax her into calling them, waving hi-five, saying goodbye etc. She was most well-behaved whenever we were out (quiet like a mouse) but once we return to the hotel, she turned into a monkey. Still most disturbingly, I notice the first signs of TT - how she simply laid down on her tummy and refused to get up if she doesn't get her way. I'm bracing myself for more tantrums to come...
