Penang Trip (PBIM 2012) - Part I
Howdy y'all!
Just got back from Penang a week ago and been busy catching up with work and all.
Sorry to keep y'all waiting! As promised, updates at least ONCE a week!
Why was I in Penang?
Well, I was there for the PBIM 2012 (Penang Bridge International Marathon)
and also for a short vacation. It was heaven in Penang!
Food was cheap and malls everywhere.
