If its Monday it must be Penang

Got up early, well 8 am (a far cry from the usual 5.15 am). Had a typical Singaporean breakfast at a food court. very sweet coffee (almost has condensed milk as the principal ingredient. After that we went searching for duct tape, what an interesting hour was spent walking around the different stores. found the tape, so can now tape up the rip in one of the bags.
Around 9 am caught the MRT to Changi airport. Check in with Air Asia was quick and painless. Then went to Terminal 2 looking for the iphone 5. Not in stock, but are only $940.
During the boarding stage had to undergo security checks, they found as pair of scissors in the first aid kit (we didn't know they were there), so lost them. The flight was quick, just enough time to settle in and listen to the Beach Boys.
Customs and immigration was quick and painless. Caught a taxi to the resort, about 45 minutes driving.The resort is nice, very empty. The beach is great, the water warm, but there are warnings everywhere about jellyfish (called sea wasps). So spent an hour in the pool which was relaxing and refreshing. The studio is excellent, very big, well featured and on the 20th floor. Ate in and tried the local cuisine. Great night, moon over a very docile sea. Tomorrow we are off to explore Georgetown.
