Penang Dec 09

Made a short trip to Penang on 8-10 Dec 09 last tues to thurs with JYing and SL.

Sunny good weather for all three days, contrary to the weather forecast of Thunder Storm which JYing saw. Keep eating, till my sore throat and cough cant recover.

Fraction of the photos we took. Thanks to JYing and SL for the photos, me didnt bring my old camera. Haha. 辛苦了... so many photos to compress and send.

Happen to "pass-by" the 槟城孙中山纪念馆. Was looking for a place for lunch, when we pass-by, then visited after our lunch.

Tram up Penang Hill. About 700-800m hill, the tram rail is splitted into 2 sections. So need to wait at the middle station to change tram. It is abit like Hong Kong's tram up to The Peak. But the tram is a more lok-kok version. Very cramp and warm.

The food we had at Gurney Drive, one of the popular hawker centre along the seaside. The more famous local food are Char Kway Teow, Asam Laksa, Rojak, and dessert. Eh... other food didnt take photo.

One of the famous temple there, Kek Lok Si (极乐寺).

The other famous temple Snake Temple (蛇庙). Alot of snake ar!!!!

Peranakan Musuem. Part of the 小娘惹 was film there. The stairs look familiar?

And the Nyona dinning table.

The Toy Museum. Captain Jack Sparrow!! This one really look like him.

And 华仔. So cute.

Teletubbies, especially for YY. Haha! Anyway, the museum is more like exhibition of many many figurines. A poorly decorated and cramp place with alot of figures. Unlike the usual museum in Singapore, one big shelf put one item.

Wah! Smeagol, my friend! My most looked forward "person" to meet in the museum.


These also my friend. Haha. C3PO and R2D2 from Starwars.

Penang Butterfly Farm. So SCARY! The moment you step passed the blinds, alot of butterflies flying everywhere. So 恐怖!! And these creatures are not human-shy, they ll fly and land on you!

很写实的照片. Me with leaflet to cover my face and cap to protect my head, in a couching position ready to siam the butterflies anytime they approach me.

The beach at Penang, actually quite a nice place to have water sports.

Thanks JYing and SL again. (The caption and picture alignment abit off ar... but I too lazy to edit the Html le.. Sleeping~)
