Dying to go on a holiday but can’t apply for leave from your boss? Well, actually you don’t have to if you want a quick weekend getaway. In fact, we managed to have a “quickie” holiday over two days. Yup, no leave application needed if it’s just the weekend! It really is possible. Here’s how we did it with a trip out of Singapore to Penang:
11.45am: We boarded our AirAisa flight to Penang from Singapore.
1.00pm: has always had 75 minutes later, we landed at Penang. Time to explore all the best food and fun Penang has to offer.
We were welcomed by Areca Hotel, a row of heritage shophouses that has gone through recent renovation. Situated in the George Town city central, the hotel is within walking distance to many of the food streets. After check-in, we headed to one of the numerous massage establishments in the city to unwind our body and mind before dinner.
After a relaxing massage, we embarked on a food trail to discover the wide variety of Penang’s diverse cultural cuisine through Kimberley Street, Cintra Street and Chulia Street.
Penang might be a heritage island, but the nightlife can be equally enchanting. There are some speakeasy and hidden bars that were hard to locate, but they serve a fantastic combination of great live music and killer cocktails. Bars we recommend are Manchu and Magazine 63.
Some say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so I headed to OO White Coffee & Café, a kopitiam that serves good local food. Check out these gastronomical delights! If these are not enough to make you hungry, I am not sure what would.
At 249 metres, the KOMTAR Tower is the tallest building in Penang, and is home to the highest glass skywalk in Malaysia. Situated on the rooftop at level 68, the Rainbow Skywalk gives visitors an amazing experience of walking on glass while watching the world below go by.
KOMTAR also houses the world’s highest rope course, The Gravityz, on level 65. The 30-minute challenge rewards the courageous with a bird’s eye view of George Town. For the less adventurous (read faint-hearted), the observatory deck on the same floor offers an equally stunning sight of the city.
Tek Sen is probably the most famous Chinese restaurant in George Town, and also one of the best places to dine at for some good ol’ Penang-style zi char.
There are plenty of photo opportunities at Armenian Street, where it is popular with visitors for its wall murals and street art. We also did some last-minute shopping here for local handicrafts and souvenirs before we head to the airport for our return flight.
Time check — 8.40pm. We touched down in Singapore, and our holiday to Penang took us a total of 33 hours, flight time inclusive. Is that quick or what?

Bapok Thomas Didymuz Toh says that the front desk person at Rapee is very understanding and will let you change therapist, this is her experience which she share on BlowingWind Forum:
in bkk now and there is shortage of therapist now, as many boy go back hometown. My fave guys at Rapee also went back.
was assigned another guy called Ron, who was supposedly from Chiang Mai.
he is expert at massage, throughout the massage keep saying my skin is very soft and nice to massage. His touches to my bare skin was quite nice as I felt his fingers inserted into my hole occasionally.
when I turn over, he was prepared for action already, his shorts were off, revealing his wet hard rod. Tasted some of his salty precum in my mouth, he proceeded to pump hard into my hole after which. Ended with him shooting his cream into my mouth.
tasted a bit like the Thai fish sauce, salty with a fishy aroma!
