Penang: Day 1

OK here is the travel log for our trip to Penang!!!

I have tried my best to keep it short and its not easy to select only a handful of photos i tell you. And this is only Day 1.


Enjoy.

The five of us (Roy, Win, Rae, Bro and I) depart from Klang at 9:00am and had our 2nd breakfast at Bidor, Perak.

Not too hard to guess what are we eating right?

Yup that's right! Bidor's specialty, "Duck thigh mee" and "wu kok" (err fried yam?)

15 minutes later...

We reached Penang roughly at 2pm and we went and "check in" at our apartment to drop the luggage and freshen up (the apartment is courtesy of Snoopy's godmom who so kindly offered us the whole house to ourselves while we are at Penang)


Our first stop in Penang: Coconut ice-cream Buddhist Temple, or fondly called the Sleeping/Reclining Buddha Temple

Then we crossed the road to the opposite Burmese Temple

Front View

this is a "Tower of Peace" and that's Rae's finger

look at the intricate gold roof...impressive!

* In front of this building there's a small pond with a stone-made Lotus strike right in the middle. Inside the lotus there's a bowl, so usually what people do is make a wish and throw coin(s) into it. Obviously the aim is inside the bowl lor, or managed to get into the lotus also jadi-lah.

Win managed to hit jackpot on first try. Right inside the bowl while me, my coin fell into the pond instead *kuakuakua*

the difference between winner and loser(sort of)

we were locked inside the temple because it's slightly pass 5pm sobs!

haha so maybe they do leave the door partially open for us but the main gate is really locked i tell you...im serious! we had quite a scare...



Dinner: Seafood at Bagan Bukit Tambun, Penang mainland. *saliva drooling*

this is our dinner. guess how much we pay for it?
Hint* very cheap!*

do you know what those sticks are for? for you to smash your crab. hahahahaha eh really wan. i'm serious ok? hahaha i have the same expression as you back then^.^

After dinner, we take ferry back to the island. Per car charge RM7.70 and the passenger is free!

camwhoring in the huge ferry

Once we reached the island, we headed to Batu Ferringhi to shop in the night market for DVDs

Supper: some hawker centre. We wanted to go eat "lok lok" de but the stall closed d, well it's after 12am...


So that's the end of Day 1...
