~un voyage à Penang 2~

21-12-2008 Day three. A morning call from my aunty makes me jump off the bed.... we planned to visit Bukit Bendera and Kek Lok Si at Air Itam today... had our breakfast at Air Itam where i tried penang loh mee~ mee in a thick sticky sauce... haha. we plunge our feet at the railway station up Penang Hill (Bukit Bendera) right after breakfast. the journey up there took around 20 minutes... wow! the scenery up there was fabulous and imagine you can see the whole penang island and part of seberang perai at the peak.

Inclined railway~


Ahaha~ Beauty! Penang bridge over there~


Is Basil's house somewhere down there??

We enjoyed the cool air up there for like one hour... i think. Then we go through the same route down... I 'accidentally' heard the conversation between a canadian and an american during our way down (don't blame me, they were talking just beside me). why i mention this little and insignificant detail compared to the trip? ahaha. they were both sick of the teenagers nowadays, some of them. complaining about the courtesy of teenagers. lack of respect to the senior citizens... for example, didn't save a seat for people more in need than themselves. Then i remembered last time when i took ktm back to shah alam at the peak hour. I got really pissed off by a young arrogant malay girl, she don't even bother to look at the old man infront of her. she even gave the people around a 'mind your own business' glance. What happened to people nowadays?? i wonder. what would it be like after few decades?? kesadsadan la. ha. Next is the kek lok si~ the railway up Penang Hill~


Traffic jam when we left~

The pagoda at kek lok si~


How much did they spent just on lanterns?

On my way back to gurney from air itam, i saw another school with huge field!! most probably the prestigious Chung Ling high school. haha. it's kinda sad remembering that my former high school has only 15m x 20m tiny field, not enough even for 100m sprint. Haz.... heard that they even stack a storage building on top of that recently~ :( Penang schools really makes me envy, especially their 'giant fields'.

Protest for greenery in school compound for Convent Klang!

~Thank God for the nice and not too sunny weather that day~

During night time, after dinner at a chinese restaurant, we walked around the town and check out some lounge there. but most of them were really crowded so we headed to perangin mall. got lotsa stuff at a very cheap prize there.... including a batman 5 in 1 cd. muahaha. More movies for me to enjoy throughout the holidays~

Christmas celebration is all around town...........

*end of day three at Penang*

22-12-2008 Aiseh... It's time to go back and bid goodbye to this lovely place.... at last but not least, Penang char kueh teow for breakfast. One thing i realised from this trip... Penang food are sold at a very reasonable prize...... rm2.20 for a bowl of har mee, rm2.60 for the plate of char kueh teow.... probably cost me rm3.80 in Klang.... so. don't worry that your pocket will be burned when you travel to penang.....

We stopped at Sungai Klah hot spring park at Sungkai, Perak on our way back to Kl and Klang. The river water was freaking hot... around 50-60 degree celcius. but... nevertheless, it's a good therapy there... makes your blood accelerate and your heart... dup dap dup dap... haha. kidding. Reach Klang around 9pm... Just can't wait for a hot water bath and hit my bed.... Exausted!
