Long way back to Penang

Yesterday, I took a 10am bas back to Penang. I expected to arrive in Penang at around 6-7pm. However, something unpredictable had happened. The bas that I took was suprisingly slow and it stopped at many places to pick up and drop passengers. So, I predicted that I will reach Penang later than expected. At around 7.30pm, I arrived at Butterworth. Normally, the bas will stop at Butterwoth and then procceed to Penang. I was very happy back then as I was about to reach home. After leaving Butterworth bas station, I noticed something strange as it does not take such a long time to reach Penang Island from there. I was surprised and asked the bus driver when I saw the road signboard going to Sungai Dua. To my horror, the bas driver claimed that the bas will not stop in Penang Island. Fearing that the bas will go to Alor Setar and it will took a long time to go back to Penang, I immediately phoned my dad and asked him to fetch me at Sungai Petani. I haven't been to Sungai Petani since around more than 10 years ago. Luckily the place did not change much though the it has well develop since I went there the last time. There are more shopping complex and shop lots, but the bas station was still the same as ever. Old and there are barely any lights along the road. There are quite a number of people there but they looked like as if they're going to "attack" me anytime. Maybe it is just a piece of my imagination. Hence, I waited for my dad's arrival at a small coffee shop situated at the road junction. It took my dad around half an hour to actually get to find me since I arrived at Sungai Petani. After a long wait, we went to have our dinner. It's the place that I last went to to have my dinner last time. It is kind of memorable and I kind of miss the roasted bread there. But, too bad, most of the stalls there were closed when I reached there. The wanton mee that I had for my dinner was not anything delicious but considerably eatable. There aren't many cars when we were on the way home using the highway, but the number of cars surely have increase due to Chinese New Year. Finally, at around 11pm, we safely reached Penang.
