Apa habaq penunggu setia?? Rindu cheq ka??

Hahahahaha…

Mood happy bangat hari ni sebaba dapat spend the whole weekend in Penang…best ke?? Apa je yang ada kat Penang?? Hahhahaha… korang patut tanya “apa yang takde kat Penang”…

I begin my journey in Penang, Pearl of the Orient dengan menaiki bas dari hentian duta ke sungai nibong, sampai je, aku dibawa untuk breakfast kat kedai mamak 24 jam… huhu.. roti canai pisang is a great way to start the day… wohoo… backpacking has always been my dream…ehem, back to the story… lepas je makan, we went for a stroll kat Gurney Drive.. its 5am in the morning but still there are plenty of gelagat manusia… huhu.. jalan sampai letih kaki…hehe

After Gurney Drive, kitorang pergi ke pelabuhan… my first impression, WOW!!... jeti yang penuh dengan cruisers and yachts and boats membuatkan aku rasa cam kat California gitu… dengan café tepi jeti yang begitu elegan…seyh.. nasib baik café tu tak bukak kalu tak 3 jam aku duk kat situ… then dapat lak tengok sunrise.. pergh… syok siot..

20-30 minutes later kitorang pergi ke Taman Perbandaran Pulau Pinang… taman yang mendapat pengikhtirafan salah satu taman terbaik Malaysia itu sure knows how to treat its visitors.. dengan kehijauan yang memukau dan begitu ramai manusia yang self-concious about their health, I can jog all day long… taman ini juga dilengkapi dengan prasarana yang hebat… kolam renang, skate park, jogging route, reflexology route, abundance of work out facilities, cafes, chess park, and diorang pun ada tracking route.. fuhh… pastu ada ramai lak orang buat taichi, aerobic and banyak lagi senaman yang aku tak tau macam ‘tepuk- tepuk badan’… begitu ramai orang yang bersenam and its gives me a better reason to live life to the fullest

Then pergi lak melawat Taman Botanical… another great place for the tourist and for people to live healthy lifestyle (envy them so much)…haha…after that, we left for the Burmese and Thai temple… admission is free and don’t be afraid, they wont eat you..

Filled with great craftsmanship and architecture here and there, dah tak rasa macam kat Malaysia dah.. u should give it a try, it’s a wonderful experience to know their lifestyle…

Dah letih tengok temple and get our fortune told, kitorang pergi lak ke Fort Cornwallis dan Muzium Negeri … a good place for a school project and a savvy way to spend your vacation and plus, u’ll get to know the history of  Penang…

Makan time!!! The New World Park offers the best ais kacang I ever had… hehe.. even finished for my fren’s behalf.. haha…

After a little rest, we are off to KEK LOK SI… so freakin huge!!! My fren told me that it is the biggest temple complex in S.E Asia… yup, u got that rite..HUGE!!! they even got their very own inclined elevator… the view at the lower part is mesmerizing and the view uphill was superb… u can see all over Penang from up there… the place reminds me of Shaolin people and I keep on imagining them hopping around at the rooftop.. the place was so amazing, with countless statues and vibrant colors and artistry… I don’t even get the chance to explore them all… and the best thing about the place was it has a very good laksa place… sedap giler… serius.. mak aku masak pun takde rasa gitu (mak aku pandai masak ok)… the taste… sedap sangat… kedai tu kecik je, kat corner tepi jalan je tapi pelanggan dia bapak punya ramai sampai berkongsi-kongsi meja lagi… rasa tu masih melekat kat lidah aku… tapi korang kena pandai pilih sebab banyak kedai yang tulis “famous Air Hitam Laksa’ tapi hanya kedai tu je yang original… pikir sendiri ar… aku kena park kereta 300m dari tempat stall tu… tapi berbaloi giler kot… naik bas pun aku sanggup lagi… ditambah lagi dengan air feveretku.. Air Teh Bunga… rasa dia fresh giler.. no wonder la Penang digelar Food Heaven…

Sigh… I want to write more about Penang but its over 1am already… u got to go the by yourself.. takyah tour guide pun.. backpacking is the best way to enjoy Penang… dengan bangunan yang very British dan victorian, pastu ada lak kawasan Little India yang ada ‘samosa’ yang sangat best… pastu ada lak kawasan Baba Nyonya and Chinese temples… makanan pun best… Hawkers centre yang sarat setiap malam… its worth your time la…
