the day before we left!

i see a dog opening his mouth smile. what is you imagination?
we had dim sum in the morning, i don't feel like blog about it cause it is sort of related to the shop that i went to the day before, but slightly more expensive, and i still prefer DIM SUM HOUSE!

today is the most tiring journey, blame myself for not being a perfect tourguide. energy wasted on unnecessary stuff.

after that we took rapid bus 204 to kek lok si.
to the left or the right??
I didn't know there is a staircase way to reach kek lok si, and all of us used the cars road.and is my fault because Hui Qwan said the left one maybe a way to go up,  i think every car passing by there sure think we ki siao taking such a long way to go there, and it is so freaking steep!

walk till my face turn black!
initially i walked with a thought that i am choosing the right roads, but the more i walk the more unsafe i feel cause i see nobody is walking at all? only cars and CARS passing by us.(now i think back, i feel so stupid and sorry to my frens making them follow me walked all the way up there) and i really sorry for not listening to you!we should have ask people around before we start walking
 after 9349458 years later, at last we reached here!!
at last at last!!!
but there is another temple further up hill, we DECIDED to continue walking up because we thought we will never want to go up anymore if we started visit this temple (sitting down, taking pictures, resting ---->turn lazy). everyone agreed then we continue walking to the top! 

my god!so steep man, i already sweat like nobody business, jyi asked me whether am i just finish bathing with shirt on??? ISH!!

at last we reached here!
bronze Guan Yin statue which under construction.

AND THE MOST SHOCKING THING HAPPENED!!!

WE FOUND THIS !!

cable car which links between the earlier temple that we saw to current place!
OH MAN, did 2 super ben dan activities, i am a bad tour guide!damn bad damn bad!


too tired to visit around end up resting all the time.
cable cost RM2 per trip, but we didnt take that since walking down is not that tiring, but its so steep, i heard Pin Pin said OOO I CANT STOP I CANT STOP!hahahhahahha


the earlier temple.

Eventually we used the shortcut, lead by the signs in the temple
we bought i love PG T-shirt at one of the shops.
and ITS TIME FOR LUNCH!

every single bowl of laksa contained his passions and love.

ASSAMM LAKKSSAA!!
i do not know whether it is the best since this is the only one i saw. but i like it because when i drink the soup i wont feel like choking unlike the one i usually eat, i often chocked because too much "zha" in the soup.

Kind bus driver willing to stop at there for 5 minutes for us to capture picture to see the railway even though it is closed.

the railway is under maintenance, should be launch on late OCT.
we went back KOMTAR to change to bus 10 to proceed to our next destination Botanical Garden which Penang Hill entrance is also there.
a kind monk was feeding monkeys with bread, never in my life see so many monkeys!!!
monk told us that we should try to give to the younger monkey cause the elderly will bully them and snatch their bread away!so kesian.

we paid for a ride around Botanical Garden because we are too tired to walk.

we changed our shirt before we go up hill
since the railway station is closed, so they offer jeep service at a price of RM15 per person for go and return , driver will wait for us for 1 hour on top of the hill.

it is way more steep than kek lok si hill, luckily we didnt thought of walking up!don't say walk, even ask me to drive up i also have to think twice! too many 90 degree turning are dangerous and road is too narrow.
after 15-20 minutes we finally reached to the top, enjoyed the cool breeze.

view of georgetown from the top


we didnt get to go for Canopy Walk because it is closed on that day (ada pokok tertumbang) we didn't go for bird park, cause we think should be no more bird liao. and the entry is RM5 per person, fund that we established for spending purpose sudah nak kering also. (ya we established a fund to ease us pay everything except food)

curious bout what they selling

hot steam!

eunice the pro in indian food since she is studying in india said that this is very authentic indian food! i like!

best driver
he even bother to give us guidance along the trip, tell us where to go and what to do. he even let us to do crazy stuff like we go down the very steep hill by standing at the back. (what you can see from pic) is so crazy, my stupid wet hand giving me a very hard time to hold tightly on the steel,it so slippery! i was standing behind you,trying damn hard to control myself not to hold you, so close still so far.

then we are back to KOMTAR to change bus to Queensbay Mall. we had our dinner at Paddington house of Pancakes, (no mistake this time!)



a fren treated jyi a fruit pizza. all of us are benefited, the toppings are grapes, nangka, kiwi, berries. some how the combination matched perfectly well.
I FORGOT bout my main mission in the mall is to eat Hokkaido icecream, sad sad sad!!

macalister road-new lane which is another food heaven!
they are famous for their almond soup based on my research
but ah siang didn't like almond soup, i don't like marzipan that rupanya is almond, but i ate almond how come it does not have that kind of weird taste??

thats the end of the trip, we went back melaka by bus which took equally long journey from kl to penang using train! :)

i love this trip!!
-the end-

day 2- mood swings up and down

unrelated picture captured there, is a shop which sells beautiful lamps, i didn't want to step into that shop because it is freaking hot!
Who says nice food can't be associate with CHEAP??
 i love their big prawns in every dim sum.we cant even finish our food, i was shocked that it only cost us less than RM27.
It is located along Jalan Anson which near KDU college, is walking distance from our hotel PPISLAND there is a road to the back of the shop.

after full breakfast, I bring them to go around Georgetown the UNESCO World Heritage City, since there is free shutter bus rides a.k.a. CAT that stops around many famous attraction landmarks.since we need to wait for the another HANTU eunice!
hot hot hot!!
the noob tour guide should start visiting either from first or last place, so that we can continue walking, but i m too stupid to start in the middle, walk further down, end up have to take bus to further up places.

get a best cendol that i found out in net.
friendly and beautiful kakak!!
it is located at off Penang Road, on Lebuh Keng Kwee.
beh tahan of the hot weather

it taste not bad, but for people like us who are in bliss to live in Melaka which also a FOOD HEAVEN. it does not taste extra nice to us.equally good lo i can say.

as you can see the amount of chrysanthemum, good that it is not as sweet as i thought, unlike the red drink that i couldn't recall its name, i don't really can accept that.

after met up with eunice we proceed with our journey to Sleeping Buddha temple by taking rapid Bus 101.

 

 right opposite is STANDING BUDDHA TEMPLE
a place which is soooo shiny! what i see is GOLD GOLD GOLD
Siok, this the place that i fell down.right in front of the temple.
we continue our journey by taking the same bus to the last stop -National park where fish village is also there.

fish village
I didn't spent too much time there  as i planned to watch sun set at Batu Ferringghi Beach, i am so fussy to get a spot that can watch nice sun set,i want to see a sun which go beneath the horizon,not an island or some other obstacle. i asked few bus driver, none of them know where is the best spot. I gave up and asked him randomly stop us so that we can play at the beach.
MONKEII IN THE BUS!!! on the way to the next stop batu Ferringghi
BUT miracles happened, he stopped us at a spot which the sun will set at the horizon NICELY!

jeng jeng jeng!!
we play at the beach while waiting for sun set..i know the ham tan wong (sun) is not that big, in the end it is block by cloud which i cant help it also, but i am really satisfied!sitting beside you watching sunset i feel so warm
place to settle our dinner! HUHOOO!
thats how the restaurant looks like.is it a real ship??

fillet steak flambee au brand

do you still remember i asked you a question,then u asked me why must you ask me with a weird look? and i gave you very very very stupid answer which i myself also feel it is so stupid, (i didn't tot of you will ask me anything and just shake your head and say NO, so i was unprepared but have to create one at the spot,huyioo my brain dried)
chicken chop with alcoholic mushroom sauce that have a magic to transform an i-never-see-such-PIN
marryland chicken
 dining in a high class place make ah siang doesn't feel comfortable AT ALL and have to take care of eating etiquette, people there see you like small kids when walking into the restaurant.
 
eating picture as ending of the post!
that the end of the activities for the day, it was also the day result was out, also a day where everyone got darker, excessive exposure under the sun. i am happy that everything ran smoothly as scheduled, the dinner in THE SHIPS is unexpected and it definitely add lots of spice to the trip.

the beginning of the Sins


on the way to the SIN


ticket cost RM1.20 for go and return, because it is free for return, (or is it i missed it?) the ferry is quite frequent, about 15 minutes each rides.
















the enormous ship which can load me up!
can even see KOMTAR (tallest building in Penang)


























what i like bout penang is their public transport is very convenient,(i think is much better than melaka), their buses is quite frequent approximately 15 minutes waiting time for the hot areas, 30 minutes waiting time for far places,i did all my research on transportation to travel every place of interest before i get there by refer to this website .


room that we slept for 3 nights!




place tat we supposedly have finger food

ice kacang special and salty roti canai
 but end up they eating dinner there because we do not have lunch, they are too hungry. ice kacang special have durian in it *love it so much* for the first time i ate salty roti canai, and the roti canai is literally roti as you can see there is bread in it, so thick!

very next stop gurney drive hawker food
i did warn them to JUST eat finger food because i am bringing them gurney drive for real dinner. but when we reach there, the stalls are not ready yet so we decided to go to the seaside while waiting stomach to make some space for more food!

i didnt expect to see all these, what a change!

if you want to see sea water you may come in the morning.

i don't know how we can smile till like that while the smelly winds blowing at us. huyioo bau sampah!

actually we ordered more foods, pictures only for worth posting one.that's explain why they complain that they are too full for the trip cause eating non stop. and of cause food just not stop here.
we immediately proceed to Gurney Plaze for desserts!

ku cha bi (traditional authentic) ice cream potong
i ordered the durian one,
 durian flavour is too yummy!! i don't know how my eyes can terbeliak til like this.

emo picture as the end of the post
did i tell you that we walked back to hotel from there for 45 minutes!before
 i read ur blog, i wanted to tell you that i dislike that person who hurt you so much till the extent that fellow steal the ori you away.
