Penang : Day 2!

Okay I know this is a super delayed post.
Sorry, this is gonna be a post full of pictures too.


We woke up at around 7 plus, I insisted to sleep for a little bit longer but dear say it would be crowded in hawker stalls.
So we left at around 8 and guess what, the hawker stalls just start opening -.-
That is late if compared to KL -_-


We went to Sin Seow Fong Lye Cafe for breakfast
We ordered prawn mee or better known as Hokkien mee in Penang and dear had Char Kuey Teow

This wasn't bad

And this was great! Tasted different somehow if compared to what we have in KL

They're generous with their prawns and bean sprouts!

Once we're done eating, we're ready to explore Georgetown!

First stop : Georgetown painting hunt!

As many may have known, Penang is pretty popular with the street art they have like the "Kids on Bicycle" painting.

Besides that, there are many other paintings done by the famous artist and the paintings are scattered all over Georgetown.

We sat the free shuttle bus and walked to find for the paintings!

(We referred to a brochure to search for them)

The ever famous "Kids on Bicycle" painting

Having fun lol.

"Old Man" painting

"Traffic Police" (Stylo, rich enough to buy Starbucks instead of Kopi-O)

Boy on Chair

Ignore my super dry/messy hair and those gigantic leg muscles -.-

Yo.

"Old Motorcycle"

2nd stop : St George Church

So next, we wanted to explore more of Georgetown and we saw a really beautiful white building.

We thought it was a museum and therefore entered.

And it turns out its not museum but a church. *Awkwardness*

St. George Church. 

We entered and there's nobody there but still proceed to look around in awkward silence. It was a beautiful church which are open for visitors

We signed the guestbook and went outside to wait for the bus. 

The weather that day had never been so hot, really.

So we sat back the shuttle bus and suddenly saw one of the street arts while in the bus and quickly snap picture

"Man on Trishaw"

3rd stop : Fort Cornwallis

I was never a fan of historical sites and needless to say, forts.

But dear wanted to go in despite the fact that he is a guy and would like these stuffs.

So we went in and damn, the sun is blazing to the max.

I didn't really enter those what seems like rooms.

He snap snap snap and then we took picture together and left lol.

Nope, we're still at the fort. No beaches in Georgetown.

So we went back to our hotels to chill a bit and shelter from the hot sun.
After a bit, we went back out to meet with his friend.

Sat his car and went to malls~

- Straits Quay Mall (Beautiful new mall with European-like structures)
- Gurney Plaza
- Queensbay

Then we went to some park for ice cream. The ice cream super special!
The ice cream was filled in a carton box. The ice cream man have to cut it into half and scoop out ice cream. The ice cream bun was added with peanuts.
Rm 3 like that for one. We thought it was around maximum RM 2 only since KL ice cream bun only RM 1.50 -.-

But ok la, worth it since its a hot day.

While on the way to dinner, I saw big Starbucks with Drive-thru!

Nice lor, drive thru.

We had our dinner in a western restaurant.
Forgotten the name, paiseh.

And it ends our day in 2nd day in Georgetown :(

Penang Trip!

Hi ya! I'm back from Penang trip with dear yesterday!
The trip was from 14th till 16th January (Yeah it was damn short D:)

Our bus ticket from Pudu Raya to Butterworth

We reached Pudu Raya Terminal at around 7am and there are many scary people holding walkie-talkies going around asking if we wanted ticket to Penang (Like they actually know we were going there). 

Even when we say no, they followed around and ask again and again. 

Do not ever buy tickets from them as they are unofficial tickets. High chance that they are conmen.

In the bus.

So we boarded our bus to Butterworth via Ipoh. We stopped at Terminal Amanjaya, Ipoh for a 30 minutes lunch break. There was nothing nice to eat there -_-

And so, we take pictures lol.

While waiting for bus to continue journey again

The place was quite nice as a terminal. Renovated and really clean!

We continue journey and reached Penang jetty. Boarded ferry to reach Georgetown for a fare of RM 1.20.
They only use coins for entrance and that place is really old. The smell of salted fish was all around ._.

Waited for around 15 minutes and finally we got on the ferry.

On the ferry~

And guess who I saw on the ferry? I SAW ERN KHAI! Well, I guess its him though I never met him before. 

Or perhaps, its someone else ._.

Reached Georgetown at around 3.15pm and we waited for the free Penang shuttle bus to take us to KOMTAR. Waited for like 15 minutes under the hot sun only come one bus. Then another 15 minutes only the bus move -________-

From KOMTAR we walk for like 10 minutes to reach Tune Hotel. Checked in at 4pm.

The room was small but its good enough for 2 of us in my opinion. 

Had a quick bath and off we go for food hunt!

First stop : New World Park (right beside Tune Hotel)

 

 Pretty high class place. The Starbucks outlet there were nice too!

Second Stop : Yi Garden Restaurant (For late super late lunch - dinner)

Well Google and some other sources say it is famous and it is nearby our hotel so we decided to go there.

This is their famous wantan mee. The black sauce is really different than what we have in KL.

RM 4 if I'm not mistaken

Dear had a bowl of deer noodle ._.

First time eating deer meat and it have a hint of ginger taste. 

*Sorry no picture*

We were still hungry after eating our food so we decided to order Hokkien Char.

DAMN CHEAP! RM 3 for one plate!

Got prawn and pork somemore!

Third Stop : Food Street

We got full and went walking around to digest for a little bit. Exploring Georgetown by feet!

The food street with various Penang delicacies!

And we found this! Pork satay! RM 1 per stick ._.

We had to sneak this into our hotel lol. It taste so-so only.

Bought 6 but I only managed to finish 1. Too full.

KOMTAR

Some Methodist church. The rubbish truck really spoiled the view lol.

(If I never mention, would you notice? :P)

On our way back to hotel.

Finish the satay, bath, sleep and there ends our first day in Penang.

This are the pictures taken yesterday :)

Our admission wristband.

Haha random.

More photos on ivy's facebook :D

Ice skating @ Sunway Pyramid

A post to keep my blog from dying.

just to make the post not so boring.

So yeah...today I met again with all the SMs. Well...not really all as hui min, tessa, priya and hannan didn't get to make it :(

So me and siew yuan reached there at about 10.40 then we headed to the ice rink right away.

The others (ivy, vanessa, sheng juen and shalini) were already there.

The ticket price was ok la. Luckily we didn't went during weekends.

Get our skate shoes, change into them and just started skating.

To me it wasn't really skating. More like holding on the sides and walk.

I really do suck in skating :(

I felled on my butt and its a painful experience.

Not once, but twice ;(

But soon...i get to learn a little and just walk very slow (i mean very very slow) :D

The others were ahead of me and gah, i'm the lousiest.

Maybe i shall ask my mom to teach me next time. (I wonder why i didn't have her genes T_T)

Me, siew yuan and ivy was more into looking and hunting for hot guys skating (HAHA)

And yes, there were quite a lot of hot ones :P

My legs were hurting like hell until i can't skate anymore. Especially the ankle.

I'm stupid enough to wear ankle socks -.-

Siew yuan's one were more serious. The skin came out also.

So went on skating again (to make my money worthy)

2.00 pm go change and return the skate shoes then headed to Italiannies for lunch :d

The food was awesome but its too cheesy and soon it made my tummy a little sick.

Ivy, sheng juen, vanessa and shalini went home with vanessa's mom.

So, me and siew yuan go shop. And she forced me to go eat haagen daz with her.

Dang, ITS SO DAMN EXPENSIVE.

I paid RM15 for that freaking small cup of ice cream which i had to share with her.

And its just only half of the price. Damn it!

p/s to siew yuan: you dare to ask me go there again, i kill you!!

Walk and walk then later there's this girl which managed to drag us to their booth.

Skin consulting etc and i got a tote bag from them. Its free :D

Go J. Co and buy doughnuts. That idiot waitress...i told her 2 dozen and she only give 1 dozen.

Later my dad came and fetch us home.

The end. (this is a long post i know. Sorry for your time you wasted :P)

photos will be uploaded soon :D
