My July 2011 Penang Trip

I just returned from my trip to Penang to visit my parents and my elder sister.

I accompanied my Mum to the hospital for her twice a week Physiotherapy sessions, each lasting an average 2.5 hours and about 6 exercises.

This is the Physiotherapy centre, a separate building and entrance from the hospital proper, next to the car park at the side.

I am glad that Mum has gotten used to going for her Physio sessions and she looks forward to them. I jokingly say that it is her social club as she knows all the staff there and also a few of the other patients.

My sister with her car parked near to the Physio centre. There are no taxi running on the road in Penang so it is more convenient to have your own car especially when it is so much cheaper there compared to Singapore.

I managed to go down to Prangin Mall to do some shopping...but nothing much unless you have something in mind; eg I repaired my son's mobile as it was about S$10 cheaper there.

I also went out with my sister and my Dad separately for a meal and a movie; seeing the movie, Transformers - Dark Side of the Moon, twice as there was no other interesting movie showing then. The movie cost me less than S$3 per person...!

It was a good break from life in Singapore....ha...ha...
