Trip to Penang and Langkawi 1st May 2004

We (Jackie, Cindy, Siah, Lee Fun and me) planned for a trip to Penang and Hatyai. It is Wesak and Labour Day Public Holiday and all of us have 3 days off. Also Jackie got her new car - Proton Wira. And to commemorate that, we are taking her car to Penang.

But the news keep repeating of bombings in South Thailand and it is unsafe for M'sians to be there. Thus our plan to Hatyai has been cancelled. Not by us, but our families wont allow us to even bring our passports out of the house.

Anyway, we wanted to give Jackie's car a warm up session. But I tell you, it was a real warm up, we were stuck in a jam all the was up the North-South H'way for 9 HOURS!!! Can you imagine, driving a manual gear car 9HOURS in a jam for a 400KM drive up to Penang. We started the journey at 9pm and reached Penang at 6am.
