Happenings in September - CeraVe Event

Saturday 14/9/24

I joined GF at CeraWorld event held at 122 Mackenzie Road, a collaboration with CeraVe to raise awareness and provide support for eczema care.

During the event, we heard from industry experts on the latest in eczema care and explored CeraVe’s product range. Their selection is ideal for home care, offering nourishing options to support skin health.

There were also interactive games designed to convey messages. For the bowling game, the goal was to knockout dehydration using CeraVe products.

Penang (Malaysia) Day 2 and 3: Armenian Street + Chew Jetty

Sunday 8/9/24

We took a Grab to Chulia Street which was about 25 minutes ride at RM15 (or S$5) and reached at 4.05pm. We wanted to explore the different streets in George Town.

It turned out there was nothing much to see at Chulia Street besides food and drinks. So we wandered around, soaking in the culture and history of George Town.

We stumbled upon the Central Fire Station 1908, a beautifully well preserved structure dating back to 1908, the year it was first constructed.

Penang (Malaysia) Day 2: Roti Bakar Hutton Lane + Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul

I did not manage to sleep well for this trip, tossing and turning until 4.30am, awoke again at 6.30am. I just continued staying on bed until 8am to prepare myself for the day ahead.

While waiting for my turn in the bathroom, I caught a bit of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 playing on the television.

The rain has stopped, allowing us to proceed with our plans. Georgetown is quite a unique area, filled with red-tiled roof shophouses that gave a sense of history. From where I stood, I could catch a glimpse of the sea at the far end, just beyond the tall buildings.

By 9.15am, we were done with preparation and ready to go. I applied some sunscreen before heading out for breakfast, eager to start the day.

Penang (Malaysia) Day 1: JEN Penang Georgetown by Shangri-La + 1st Avenue Mall

Penang has long been on my travel list, a destination I wanted to explore. I was supposed to visit five years ago, but an unexpected incident just few days before the trip forced me to forgo. Five years later, I finally make that long-awaited trip to Penang.

While we were on the air nearing Penang, raindrops began to hit the plane window and heavy rain blurred the view entirely for awhile.

We landed at Penang International Airport at 3.35pm ahead of schedule and cleared the custom in 25 minutes.

We went to the pickup point and called for a Grab. The drive from the airport to our hotel in George Town took about 45 minutes due to some congestion on the narrow lanes and the fare was RM70 (or $23.33). We reached our hotel at 5pm.

The snacks I gotten from the supermarket might be able to find in Singapore, but they were definitely a bit cheaper here.

Here marked the end of day 1, hope for better weather tomorrow to outdoor exploration.
