Penang, Malaysia: Movie Date

YEAHHHHH! 

It is my first time watching movie outside of Singapore after so long!

Here are some clues about the character who acted in the movie we watched,

• He choose to join You-Know-Who and be evil.
• He and his wife 14 years his junior just have a cute baby girl.
• Obviously acting as the founder of Facebook is not enough for him!
  He need to be part of this since he already inside the first one.
• Now he is alive in the second one!
• Hulk is finally the leader.

Can you guess the movie we watched?

Okay... So now should I start my review with the cinema or movie?

Now You See Me 2 or 
Now You See Me: The Second Act

"The eye, it may not lie but don't think for a moment it can't be lied to. Seeing is believing but is it truth? People see the Horsemen as mobile Robin Hoods, but are they or are they common thieves? Depends on your points of view."  - Thaddeus Bradley

I have read a lot of reviews before writing this post. Most of them are saying it is not a sequel and the movie is disappointing and fake. But to me, it was fantastic! 

Of course, the magic tricks out of the world. But surely, I believe a little more imagination would do no harm and who know with the technology and science this days, it might really happen one day. And for those watching this movie without watching the first movie, it is totally fine. They have some flashback to help get you into the story.

The new female horsemen of the group, Lalu is bubbly and adorable and very in love with Jack Wilder. In part 3, I hope they find a girl for Merritt McKinney. #fangirlwish At the start of the movie, I really feel like giving Daniel Atlas a tight slap, why do you want to replace Dylan Rhodes. I mean why do you want to make him angry, he is THE HULK. opps.. wrong movie. 

Who would have expected Thaddeus Bradley to be so evil-ly good?! #PLOTTWIST

And don't forget the special guests of this movie are my all-time favourite Daniel Radcliffe and Jay Chou. Lily, you make a right choice. Lucky, you choose James. Only a true fan will know what I am talking about. Okay, back to this two character. One is acting as a good guy and one as a bad, evil guy. Not going to spoil it for you... But seriously, you can search online for  its summary. They write everything there

Now it is time to review the cinema!

TGV Cinema @ 1st Avenue

Reason why we choose this cinema is very very simple... They have a BEANIE CHAIR movie theater! YES.. BEANIE!

 

 

 

  

finally, i get to use this image!

It cost RM50 for 2pax. The most important question, is it comfortable? Yes, to X and me! Starting it was quite uncomfortable as you need to find a certain angle to sit. But once you find it, just relax and enjoy the movie!

Oh ya... let's not forget their snack corner! 

 

 They have tom yum popcorn!

  

For the tom yum flavour, it somehow reminds me of Mamee Monster snack's taste a.k.a MSG. 

As for the caramel one, it is not as sweet as Garrett Popcorn but 

definitely sweeter than those served in Singapore cinema. 

I like both of them actually, I nearly finished them even before I enter the cinema. 

Let's pray hard the cinemas in Singapore will have unique flavours popcorn in the near future!

Penang, Malaysia

Nana reporting live from Penang. 

Bringing you the latest news and updates... 

... ...

Joking...

We just touched down in Penang at 2pm yesterday. It is my first time in Penang and we are currently staying at Hotel Jen Penang. FYI, this hotel was formly known as Traders Hotel Penang.

First impression of the hotel was...

Image Cr:Expedia.com.sg

Its external looks really clean and simple. The walls are still white! Once you are inside the lobby ↓, the decoration looks like it is stuck in the 80-90s theme.

The check-in counters are on the right side.

I have read some review online that checking-in and service are quite problematic here. But lucky for us, checking-in was hassle-free and fast. The staff are friendly and willing to answer all your questions.

Like I say earlier, the lobby's decoration remains in the 80-90s theme, so are the room. So don't expect those ultra thin LED SMART TV in the room or super good iPhone-docking speaker. But don't worry, it still feels cozy... Of course, here are some photos of our room.

 

And this is the view that we will be facing for the next 2-3days.

Some review said that there is supermarket inside the malls next to the hotel, but We decided to explore the supermarket that is slightly further, GAMA Supermarket & Departmental Store. We noticed a lot of tourist bought boxes and boxes of white coffee. Also, do bring your own plastic bags or recycle bag as plastic bags are chargeable. 

Okay... There is a Pacific Marketplace in Pacific Komtar which is just next to the hotel. Almost all the items there cheaper than Gama by a few dollars and the best part, they are very nicely arranged! Same rule applied here, bring your own bag :)

To be very honest, it has been quite a while since I saw a box TV.

And this is a weighting scale. I never see one so exposed before! 

You can see it skeleton clearly!

Oh ya... For those who are like us, bringing only 3 days worth of clothes for 7-days trip or just wants to do laundry. There is a laundry service provided by them, it cost about RM$95 for a bag ↓, however they won't iron/pressed it. If you need to get the laundry ironed, there is a iron in the closet.

Comparing the bag with a A4 paper for you all to gauge the sizing of the bag.

If you prefer to do it yourself, there is a coin-operated laundry service along the shop houses behind Prangin Mall. It is called ZYZ Self-Service Coin Laundry. The store is slightly worn out and some machines are spoiled but it is better than nothing. The washer and dryer is RM$6 each and 30mins duration for per wash/dry. So your laundry will be ready in just an 1hr for both wash + dry. The only downsides are you have to bring your own detergent power and wait for an hr. 

Conclusion:

This hotel's location is the best. Just look ↓!

It is walking distance away from the malls (Prangin Mall and 1st Avenue are just behind and Penang Times Square is just 10-15mins walk..) and those Penang street art. If you are adventurous, you can hop on the buses available at Rapid Penang and explore.

So far, our experience with the hotel and staff were good. Just hope that they will upgrade their room soon. :)

Will continue blogging our experience in Penang! Do keep a lookout.

We are forgetting something.

OMG.

I have finished all my exam and final year report. 

 Now I am back to blogging and exercising.

For the past 3 months, I gained nearly 6kg! Time to exercise more..
My pants are becoming too tight~ I can't fit into the clothes I bought when I was 50kg.
 
Will be uploading a post soon on the yoga place I am visiting currently.
