A vacation a time of relaxes. I really enjoy vacation because I don’t think about problems, works or anything. When I went to Penang last week, it was fun I have ever had on vacation. By the way, vacation- a period of time to relax, a period of time used for oneself.

I can still remember how excited I was before take off; I mean it felt like forever while I’m driving alone to take off. Just all the anticipation that was inside of me had just made the wait even longer for me. Finally, when I reached the Penang Bridge, I was so overjoyed I could hardly contain myself.

This is my first trip after being unemployed and after finishing my practicum. Even though I stay in Perlis, little did I know that its kind a like 2 or 3 times I went to Penang for a holiday? Such a waste isn’t it?

Penang is a very nice place. I went to Batu Ferringhi. It has a few small shops selling souvenirs and beach necessities. There are many stalls selling a variety of goods set up along the road at night. If you're looking for cheap clothes, fabrics, souvenirs, electronic items, watches, DVDs, CDs and more, then the Pasar Malam along the road is the place for you.

The Pasar Malam is very long and you can see varieties of restaurant there such as Tarbush Restaurant, Lebanon Restaurant, The Ship and stuff. This is just like Pasar Malam in Haadyai. After a long day of exploring the diverse offering of Penang, my tired and aching muscles already screaming out for a relaxing massage. Tiredness and drowsiness are haunted me and I went to fish massage there. This is my first attempt in trying this kind of massage. Before this, I just went to foot massage but this package is include with fish spa.

I am scared to death when the spa owner asked me to put down both of my foot. Automatically I said to her that I don’t even eat fish and idiotically why should I let my own foot being eaten by fish? But after for a while, (after praising to Allah thousands times) I put my foot inside the water and I can see a lot of fish attacking my foot. SUMPAH GELI.

The Spa owner told me that this treatment is very nice. Actually, those fish are used for various reasons such as for foot, facial and body treatment as well as for the natural treatment of skin disease.

In point of fact, the fish ridding it of all affected and dead skin areas, leaving the healthy skin untouched to continue to row and repair. It is painless when the fish bite your foot. After 5 minutes i let my foot inside the water, the fear towards the fish's bite is missing and the process is became wonderful and pleasant. Furthermore, the fish treatment are also can release fatigue, increase blood circulation, and aid in relaxation.

More over, my favorite place of all in Penang is Gurney Drive. It is very hard to find a parking space there. I would walk along the hawker stalls from Mc Donald until the end of the stall, sit there feeling the breeze and talking and laughing away, watching the sea rushing to the shore. I love to eat Penang Asam Laksa. The aroma of the dish is very pleasant.


Since I already told about the basic understanding of what I did after being unemployed, I'll close on this, gather more information on where you will be staying if you choose to go away with friends (but i love and prefer to go alone) and find a great place and activities that you can do that can remains as your sweet memory.
