Penang trip II


Jackson recommended this restaurant "美食之家"-penang self service dim sum near to USM(University Sains Malaysia) to us. In KL, there is a lot of famous dim sum restaurant in Cheras Connaught, but this is the first time i saw self service dim sum in penang. Quite a good idea as we no need to wait for their staffs to take the dim sum to us, its cut a lot of waiting time & we can see the staffs are taken fresh dim sum from the steamer.
They served a lot of dim sum, pau, cheok feng,porridge & fried food as well, we can then take a tray to take any dim sum that we like, thus their staffs will tick on the card to show evidence of food taken, finally can paid at the counter by showing the card. This breakfast cost us RM70.00 including a pot of tea for 5 person.

My trip member-chin, sui, jackson, eve & me~~


Night life of Penang Island, really a lot of pretty gals & young boys.
I think maybe there is few universty & colleage are located here, that's why so many young guys & gals.

Few of my friends like clubbing, so after enjoying delicious foods near gurney plaza, we go clubbing , the street is so crowded with young peoples especially on saturday night, the place we choose is more to disco, music is too loud(actually eve & me are more enjoy clubbing in soothing melody & music pub), can't even chat at all. Luckily there is some dancing show for us to see, it's last about half and hours, otherwise eve & me will boring from the beginning till the end. They order 2 bottles of Martell, its taste better mixed with coke rather than plain water. 7 of us shared the Martell but eve & me not the type of alcoholic.


That day really consider lucky because we are escape from the summon from police. On the way back to hotel, our car stopped by the police on suspicion of driving while drunk or driving under the influence of drugs (typically referred to as DUI or DWI), the officer ask our friend(jackson) to submit to a breath test, this is commonly called a ‘Breathalyzer’ test.


The purpose of this test is to determine the blood-alcohol content (BAC). The Breathalyzer test can be administered roadside . The officer call Jackson, to blow into the machine for a long moment a few times by placing his mouth around a tube attached to a hand-held device. Then he tell Jackson when can stop. The machine then shows a result on the screen ,first time is 35 then 2nd times is 40. All of us worried & paled whether we are imposed ? Luckily the officer said the minimum is 50 & maximum is 80. That means we are escaped ! Thanks God!

I use to ask a friend how is the calculation of the limits of breath test. He said over 50 will imposed fine & over 80 will sentenced & send to jail for drunk driving. (perhaps somebody can tell me more detail about the test).

My friend told us perhaps having a light meal , coffee or eating mints after drinking can fool the police for breath test, don't know whether its correct ? but it sound works because we really "luckily" escape from police & all of us eating fisherman lemon flovours mints! This time luckily escape & may not guarantee for next time.We do learn a lesson on it. Anyway drunk driving is not safe to yourself and the public as well, hopefully everyone must aware of it. Love yourself & others!

that's our first time too, for the breathalyzer test, but our friend still look very sound(ok) while driving, otherwise we also won't let him drive.
