Day 1

start our journey to penang from klang around 11.30a.m.... stop at ipoh... to take our lunch... which is the famous duck wantan mee ( heard people say de lar )... but the taste is really not bad... especially the duck meat... kekeke... bought some 'siou pao' and ' wu kok' for our collegue in penang sales office... mana tahu... at last realize the seller give wrong liao... -_-"... both also 'wu kok' lai de... za dao... but taste not bad...


after visiting them, we went for dinner at a so called very tasty bihun stall... order bihun, lala and a fish and drinks is so called 'lao hao' in hokkien and buah pala in malay taste a bit sour... but my friend like it... me... okok nya... food also thumb up... altough not much people the time we eat... maybe too early...~_~"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 3

went to bukit bendera... took bus rapid PENANG 204...... they got the service direct from komtar to front door of bukit bendera... how nice... it's been 5 years time after the previous visits with my degree collegue to this place... miss that studying life sometimes...

didn't have much changes on the train up to the hill... and also the thing on the bukit bendera hill... took back the same photo as past 5 years...


this------>

It's the same like past 5 years right? or even 10 20 years... hohoho...

Visiting up to the hill took us around 3 to 4 hours... and once we grab an ice-cream at the front door of bukit bendera station, we WALK to Kek Lok Si... i think it's about 3-5km !!! cos ice-cream uncle told us... ' oh, its near... u just walk straight.... turn right... near near only....!" kena tipu... it was so far!!! haha... since the weather not super hot... then we just walk like that... luckily weather is not hot... if not... haha... good exercise anyway...

Before we heading to Kek Lok Si..... we took our lunch--> asam laksa... which is the asam laksa last time my friend intro de... hope i didn't remember wrong on the stall... haha




Then we heading up to Kek Lok Si... all the way by walk... i remember i never go up by walk... everytime also by car, up to half of the hill... then only walk up... good exercise really... and good experience...... at least i walked before... haha... on the way up, there are many stalls selling souvenirs and t-shirts... but most of the stalls sell the same thing... so we didn't really visit those stalls... but there is one stall attracts me... the stall that selling the word on rice... '米之画‘ or what... i also forgot liao... conclusion he can write words on the rice and make it a key chain... actually i plan to buy... but the time we heading up... we were too 'sam kap' want to go up... say that we will be back to buy it when on the way down... mana tahu... he 'sao dong' jor... wuwuwu... this teach me a lesson... must do it immediately... dun say later later... and later u will regret... and i regret already...

We took any bus near the asam laksa stall... and heading back to home... after the walk from Bukit Bendera to Kek Lok Si... it was so tired... haha... planned to ask our friend in Penang Island SO to fetch us out for yummy yummy dinner at somewhere in GeorgeTown... just scare that she can't finish her BS Key in and can't accompany us... some more plan to go and help her up... haha... who knows... she ---> chiew wen called us when we was at jetty... and told us to go to Komtar so that she fetch us there, and we will have dinner after that...

Dinner... many yummy food... also by walk...-_-"... walk whole day jor... so tired... want to find eat stil need to walk... but... no choice... haha... thanks chiew wen for bring us to dinner --> 'gai keok', hor fun, laksa, wantan mee, 'go heong', passion fruit as drinks... what else... hmm... the 'tong sui' forgot what name liao... all here...












We share all the food... its is too many to eat if we order personally... our cute collegue is exercising System Barter... which means exchanging ' food'... haha... so our dinner is all sponsor by her... how nice is she... kekeke

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Day 4

A new day again... which we plan to visit to batu ferrighi that side... 1st we went to Butterfly farm... which actually not only butterfly inside... but also many other kind of species... geli de also got... pretty de also got... and most pretty and main point of course is the different kind of butterfly... walk whole farm... took some random pictures... and get to finish up the 'coping' work there... yeh...



Due to the farm is actually quite inner part from batu ferringhi beach... only few buses will go until there... the time when we are going back... we nearly nearly get cheated by the taxi driver... cheat us that the rapid penang bus will only come every 2 hours... ah ceh... luckily we so clever... waited for another few minutes... if not... already kena cut liao... haha...
then we headed to batu feringhi beach... but... we didn't prepare anything to play water... even so hot... haha... so we just have a look on the beach... many activities actually... really need to find one whole day for that... so we just look look.. then go off jor...

Lunch... Kfc... can't find any other thing to eat that time... went Eden Parade which is just opposite the batu feringhi beach... funny right... go Penang eat Kfc... -_-"

Then its about 4p.m. something... heading to Botanic Garden... which... also a place that less Rapid Penang bus will go in... there is only 101 bus... -_-"... we are so lucky 'meet' that bus... haha... but at last... found... inside.... nothing to c... due to both of us so tired of walking already... we paid RM2 to sit on the car to bring us go around... haha... even more happy with that... only RM2... hoho... better description, its actually a good place to exercise... no matter morning or evening time... good luck not always with us sometimes... we waited almost half and hour for A bus to come in the Botanic Garden... haha... even think of walking out already... haiz... so scare we can't get any buses that time... but luckily... hehe

Heading to the interesting place... which is Toy Museum... is the place both of us wanted to go since the 1st day... at least more interesting than the Botanic Garden i think... hehe... suitable for adult or kids... and we realize it is actually at the Copthorn Orkid Hotel there... this is the hotel we went for our staff workshop on Jan '09... but surprisingly... we didn't realize it!... za dao -_-"
a bit exciting to visit to the hotel again... haha... we took picture in front of the hotel... which actually suppose to do it 6 months ago... but we didn't... ganti balik... wakakaka......
