Penang Drive Trip Free and Easy


Early in the morning, 7am. We are going for a trip
on this holiday. We rent a car from someone in the campus. We got an Alto. Siu Hou is the driver for now.


For your information we were plannning a trip to Langkawi, an island paradise in Malaysia. After a well planned trip is done, we MADE a mistake.
We didn't calculate the ferry fee to Langkawi.

Reaching Weld Quay in GeorgeTown. We carry our bags happily to the departure gate straight.


Look at Siu Hou, sames as us, we seems very excited to go over there. However, an misfortune hit us. We were been told to buy tocket in advance before departure. Hence we walked back to ticketing booth nearby the clock tower.



Looked at the price below. It is ultimately destroy our one day plan. #1, Price is so damn expensive. We saw RM 23 in the web. I guess its maybe depart from Kuala Kedah.
#2, The latest ferry time is from 5.15pm. Meaning we got 6 hours in langkawi only since we depart at 830am, 3 hours to reach there,6hours of fun, then go back to georgetown. It is not suit our plan at all. We cancelled it last minute in front of ticket man.








Leaving no more choice but to visit Penang Island..Again...

We randomed our route to Aremenian Street. Its very historic and essentric.

I sat on a bench pretending visual appreciation of historical architecture.


Look! japanese DIGI ads...









Penang Hill remained unvisited for me. Therefore, we head to cable car service and go up to hill.


ITs a steep slope to go up to hill. Penang Hill is estimated 700m above sea level.










Half way to the top, we were stopped by Henna Service. Both girls are too excited and then got themselves hennas.






We dudes also got our markings. I personally choose a design which is Latin Words.
Summa Cum Laude which means best gradutes in the class or best individual in a batch.An undergraduate with greatest honor.
I am highly inspired and this will motivates me to work hard in the right direction.




Seems Hui Yee doesn not enough with her back neck design.She got her front palm nicely
"hennaed".
















Jun Yan got venum. Thats why he chose set and being chargeed got whole flight food.


Just Posting!
We just wanna show off the piece of art.












This big scary spider is discovered everywhere in penang hill between the electric cables.


After the trip, we roam around GeorgeTown and again and ate the famous Penang Cencol in cendol street. I always wonder, what kind of econimics behind this. Despite this cendol stall is overwhelmingly outcast the other one opposite it.
But that cendol stall still remained opened and occasionally some people still go eat there. Weird case.













Penang have their own GeorgeTown White Coffee despite Ipoh's Old Town.


















Before we went back, we drive to a street behind Mcallister's and see the lightings. Si Tigun is one of cafe i found it interesting. A bicycle pit stop cafe. Good concept. I always encoourage urban cycling. Wonder when people will use my bicycle design and stop here for repair and have a break with some snacks and food.
Turns out a Penang Island trip after Langkawi's off. Will be there next time.
