This getaway supposed to ‘happen’ last year, but due to series of weird encounters followed by my beloved grandma demise, this trip got pulled to a stop.
So slightly more than a year later on 6th October, this trip initiated back. Yay!
This is my cute travel partner.. kurubee
.. which also happens to be the love of my life too, lol! And we flew in together from Penang to LCCT and boarded the afternoon flight to Phuket.
It was an impromptu decision. AirAsia was having great promotion last year, and Sat casually checked out the promotion offered.
Next time I know he called me, telling me about this. I agreed and in within one day, 8 more booked their tickets for this trip. All this happened way before the Indonesia trip.
Guess how much the ticket costs – RM58! Blardy RM58 for return trip! Who would let this opportunity slide away?!
The codename Dinnyland came not long after booking the flight. It’s a manja word for Disneyland and it suits this purpose of this getaway – happy, fun and relaxing.
Both Sat and I didn’t plan much on the itinerary. We did plan, however attentions were focused more on Indonesia trip since the group is bigger. It was only after the Indonesia trip and 3 months before departure we started searching for information and emailing the hotels, transportation companies and tour agencies with lots recommendation from Hannah. She’s such an angel; she helped us in our enquiries no matter how busy she was. We couldn’t thank her more for that. 
Believe it or not, only one month into flying; Hannah, Satkuru and I finalized the whole itinerary and bookings. We were that laid back and have totally no worry of the plan being backfired as we drafted out few itineraries. I guess this trip is the easiest to plan out with and with the least headaches too!
Probably it was due to the travel kakis that we’re going with. All were the flexible/go-with-the flow types and it made things even easier. Love all my travel kakis to bits as they made the trip way more fun with their crazy, wacky and laughable yet loveable personality.
Like all previous trips, we had few hiccups with the airlines – like our flights being postponed and changed/cancelled. But Sat managed to settle them quickly, so it wasn’t a big problem at all. Hehe.
7th July 2010 came and 4 girls from Penang boarded the plane to KL with totally broad smiles that even the flight delayed couldn’t stop them from flashing their teeth. Yup, we were that happy chatting despite being so tired for working earlier that day, but still we were quite alert and excited. I guess the adrenaline pumped in too much. Lol!
It’s been 10 months of emotional turbulence; but everything was paid off when I finally stepped my foot at the Penang International Airport on the night of 12th January 2010.
Together with me were Sat, Ailing, Emily, Elise and Lasker.
Our flight for KUL scheduled to fly off at 10.45pm was delayed an hour. But we weren’t bothered with the delay, for we have the whole night to kill. Everyone was pretty excited, tho some of us were dead tired due to rushing to airport from work. We sat at the tables of closed cafe, chatting about the baby being stuffed into the toilet bowl and Facebooking while waiting for the announcement for embarkation to be made.
At 11.50pm, we were allowed to board and most of them directly dozed off once the plane took off. Despite being so tired, I can’t catch a wink! So did Sat. Both of us were just chatting, giggling and taking pictures (of those who slept). Kaka!
Out of the blue, I felt hungry!
The plane reached LCCT at 12 something. We went around the terminal, finding place to sit and nap, but all seats were occupied! Mardeh betui. So, we cured our hunger by having supper at Old Town LCCT first – hoping there would be seats available after that.
