The first 27 days of the year 2020 have been difficult as hell. 'It is already a bad year for me', I thought. A lot has happened. One of them is that I had a mental breakdown. It was exam season, so that was kind of expected.
But I was too fast to judge.
p/s: I have been procrastinating to write this post so bear with me ><
Whenever I feel stressed, I would plan something fun to do with my friends. That is normal for every student, I reckon. I just like the idea of having something exciting coming up after all the stress, so I would feel more motivated to finish the phase and enjoy. Like during last semester, when finals was approaching, I planned to go on a trip to Penang with my friend Maria after we finish our exam. We thought that it would be nice if her cousin, Kak Siti would come along as she could bring us to places that we have never been to. Plus, it would be more fun! I love her.
The last time I went to Penang was a few years back when I was still in high school. Usually, when I plan to go on a trip with my friends, it would not work out. But this time, it was different. And it turned out to be the best trip I have ever had. I never thought that this trip would make my January so much better.
We started our journey to Ipoh 15 minutes late as we parked the car by the road just trying to connect our phone to the car and choose our songs. After taking our breakfast at a place called New Hollywood (it was all yummy!), we played tourist in the city. I intended to take insta-worthy pictures since I have not posted anything on Instagram since last year. However, the weather was not on my side. It was kind of dark, and even though the rain was not too bad, it was still drizzling, enough to upset me.
Me and Maria in Gunung Lang.
Us in Time Tunnel, a place where you could find all classic stuff in an Asian household.
Then we went straight to Penang. I was mesmerized by the beautiful sunset that we caught on the bridge. We stayed in a place in the middle of the city of Georgetown that we booked through Airbnb. It was all made of wood surrounded by trees and it was such a nice place to have a break from all the hustle and bustle of the city. Of course in Penang we did a lot of food hunting and walking along the streets.
I think I'll just let pictures do the talking.
Our stay.

I totally had a lot of fun with these two, and here's to more trips in the future.
p/s: I have been consistent in writing every month now, but it's only February. Let's just hope that I'll keep writing.
