My friend happened to be in Penang on that day, and we really wanted to meet. The two of us met a few years ago over the internet, and through that time, we have worked on many collaborations together. It started with us singing a cover together, then she introduced me to more collaborations, and our friendship grew from there. We'd stay up all night chatting with each other about life, making jokes, and working on YouTube videos. She is the closest friend I've made on the internet, and since I happened to be flying across the world and would be in the same country, I told her about it. From there, we planned to meet in Penang. Time would be short, since she'd have to leave later the day I arrived, but a few hours was better than nothing.
Amazingly enough though, her parents were able to find a room in the hotel we were staying at, and booked a room to stay in. It was crazy, because then we were able to spend the whole afternoon and evening together. What was even crazier was I said "let's meet in the lobby," thinking that it was a public space and that there would be other people in the area (as a safety precaution). We ended up meeting in the elevator as we both went down to meet in the lobby. The stars must've aligned for us that day, because so many things went so well.
Since we hadn't eaten lunch yet, that was our next step. We (meaning my dad) decided to walk to a nearby Nasi Kandar with thousands of reviews on Google. It was sweltering hot, sunny, and humid. So it wasn't a great time. It would've been easier to use Grab. The line was extremely long, and we waited nearly half an hour in the sun before we could eat.
After that, we spent the rest of the day filming videos and singing together.
