Penang

Well, I never thought that my business trip was supposed to be a short and sweet one. We left KL at around 6 something in the morning and arrived at Juru around 10 something. After going on and about our business meetings and courtesy calls with 3 kids in the car waiting for their father and I to accomplish our duties, we finally called it a day at roughly 4 something. This was after we visited 7 clients of ours.

I know you must be thinking how on earth did we accomplish such feat. Well, we were lucky that the locations of each appointments was pretty close by each other, hence the figures. So after resting in the house with my mom and brother, I thought we would be travelling back to KL today after finishing our last appointment which was at 9 in the morning.

Just so that we are not caught in the nasty early morning crawl at the Jelutong highway, we decided that we should leave Gurney at 7.30am. Little that we knew, the traffic today wasn't that bad and we managed to arrive the area around 8.20am considering we left at 8am.

After breakfast there, we went for our appointment which ended earlier then expected. So we decided that I'll go home and rest while he took his family to Kek Lok Si and also the Reclining Buddha. Shortly after 11 in the morning, I received a phone call saying that we are supposed to attend a dinner appointment tonight either in Penang island or over at the Mainland.

By then, I was neither here nor there as I don't have my car with me. To make things worse, my laptop is in the computer shop for a new screen as the previous one cracked. Imagine going through another day in Penang without a car nor a laptop. Luckily I managed to hijack my mom's laptop for a while to blog this turn of events.

Looks like we'll be travelling back tomorrow morning with a car full of kids and infants. Hopefully the highway is clear and we should be able to get back to KL before 2pm.

Well....till my next post.....

Cheers.
