Acc

ST; 18 Jan


Undoubtedly one of the more notable events that happened during my stint, this episode has finally seen the end of the tunnel. I hardly touch the newspapers these days and it was fateful this article was published on that one day I took MC and therefore had the time to read the newspapers at my parents’ home. 

So the bus driver was acquitted, judge decided that the evidence against him was inadequate and not conclusive that the driver was at fault. I remembered back in 2013 the sensitivity of investigation my team and I conducted on the bus. Every touch required permission from and scrutinization by the watchful eyes of the authorities. The team put in our best men and effort to satisfy the requests of the authorities. 

This unfortunate incident was one that nobody wished for and I hope this verdict gives closure to the deceased's family.

We survived!

Despite travelling with 3 kids, flying on notorious Airasia and not having an itinerary!

At Cheong Fatt Tze mansion, a UNESCO heritage site.

What made the trip enjoyable was the superbly comfortable and fully furnished airbnb that comes with a mesmerizing paranomic ocean view!

Only $150 per night


Reading corner

Like a loft with mega high ceiling
Things learnt about Penang:
1) The exchange rate makes everything super duper cheap! For eg. the 1/4 chicken with 2 sides meal at Nandos is RM20.80 = S$7? That's equivalent to a KFC 2 piece meal.
2) Uber is super easy, cheap and accessible. Everywhere we went to, we requested for 7-seater and they were always available and within 5-10 mins arrival.
3) The malls are very clean and baby friendly! In fact they are like the malls in Sg. Be prepared to spend like a king because you can.

How much we spent (per family):
Air tix = $355
Insurance = $21
Accom = $152
Expenses = $150
Total = $678
