This is going to be my very first blog entry of 5 occurences that have left a huge impact on me. Have you all ever been on a cruise liner before?I doubt many have. Well,I have never been on one before till the December holidays last year.Was it interesting?You bet it was!On the eve on the trip,to be frank,I was not really excited about the cruise.What was the reason?Like most people nowadays,I thought that taking a cruise is pretty boring,stuck up in the cabin all day long,tolerating the rough ride in the seas.However,my experience on this cruise to Penang with my immediate family suggested otherwise!
However,I got elated upon spotting the cruise liner we were going to be on.It was simply fascinating,almost as long as a football field,as high as a 5-storey building,numerous dazzling windows peering out from both sides.I simply stood there,gaping in awe at the magnificent liner.How could I not be fascinated?It was just like the huge ships I visualised after watching Titanic!But my elation turned into fear after the cruise liner beginned to start sailing.Watching the strong waves slapping against the liner,I could not help but feel afraid.What if the ship sank like Titanic?What would happen to us?My fear slowly died down once I realised we were not going to sink.Before dinner,one of the staff showed us around the ship.There was an indoor gym,swimming pool and even a golf course!Most important of all,there were four different kinds of restaurants-Chinese,Malay,Indian and Western!All of them were simply scrumptous,it tasted even better than those posh restaurants in Singapore,it was probably because of the polite staff with warm smile.

During the night,we were all entertained by a loving show entilted Tropical.It featured dancers from Asia,they danced gracefully to the music and performed breath-taking stunts.One even balanced plates on sticks all ten at once.Could you believe it?It was no doubt entertaining!What's more,the ride on a ship was nothing like the one that I imagined to be.It was as smooth as it could be and I felt that I was just sleeping on hard ground,and not on a rough sea.
The next day,we relieved our boredom by playing golf and swimming till dinner.Golf was extrewmely fun-filled,although I could not even hit the golf ball faraway,but I managed it after three tries!
On the third day,we finally arrived in Penang in late morning,our destination.Although I must admit I was excited about visiting Penang,but my heart was full of longing.When can I again meet such friendly staff,such wonderful food,such a entertaining cruise?We spent the rest of our day by window-shopping at a nearby mall.

And what's more,the ice-kacang simply melted in your mouth,exciting your taste buds,filling you with satisfication!Doesn't it makes your mouth water?
On the fourth day,we signed up for a personal tour aroung Penang,the tour guide was very friendly.He kept us entertained by explaining the attractions in Penang,such as the Penang Hill and the Snake Temple.Did you know that there were once hundreds of live snakes sliding around the temple?The Penang Hill was as interesting too,we had to spend 2 hours walking up the Penang Hill.However,the long hike was definitely worthwhile,we had a picturesque view of Penang and the surrounding hills.We were so high up that there were even thin mist covering the hills aroungd us!After that,we visited the Butterfly Gardern,there were uncountable butterflies of all species flying aroungd us.We even had a rare opportunity to touch and observe the butterflies!Our last stop was the Toy Factory,it featured all of the figurines and plush toys of those characters released by Disney!How could I not be satisfied?
During my memorable trip to Penang,not only was it my most enjoyable days of my life,but it was also a trip that was an eye-opener.It exposed me to the culture of Malaysians and the history of Penang through visiting the attractions.
