Penang

And then on to Penang, we had great food - asam laksa with real chunks of fish and beautifully just-right-sweetness ice kacang topped with vanilla ice cream for lunch. Oh, and not forgetting popiah. Man, my mouth it watering just remembering that meal.

We rushed a powerpoint presentation for the wedding and went over to E&O hotel (we stayed in City Bayview which was just opposite E&O) to get everything ready for the wedding since we were helping out.

E&O is a lovely lovely hotel. My friend stayed in their Writer's Suites - Somerset Maugham Suite and it was absolutely beautiful. Spacious with gorgeous furniture and the timber flooring was punctuated with lush persian carpets. The only odd thing was the large screen tv which looked horribly out of place for such an antique setting. I suppose TV manufacturers won't be willing to make a few antique looking large screens to suit E&O's suites!

I'm digressing. The wedding went well. The couple was so in love, they kept holding hands and kissing whenever they could. They had friends come from all over the world to attend their wedding. My friend looked absolutely gorgeous. The gowns that she made looked really really good. And her mum and sis who also made dresses from That Special Occasion and they looked stunning as well.

The wedding cake was delicious - chocolate cake. However, by the time they were served, I was bloated from too much laughing and could hardly eat an entire piece. What regret.

So between Ipoh and Penang, what diet plans I had just flew out of the window. Today my hipsters are tight already. Dang.
