Penang, The End

Last of Penang trip! Very slow updates, I know. I've been busy traveling. Anyway, this post mainly photos. Well, begin!

First thing in the morning!
Yes, went to a food place for breakfast, don't remember the name of the place. Took photos around before food arrived. And once the food is in front of us, we didn't eat immediately. We are bloggers alright, we took photos.


Very nice, Pork Rolls?


Loh Mee
And then we headed to a Temple, just across the street.


The Temple was crowded.
We took a lot of photos of people releasing birds, mine wasn't taken from a good angle, so, many shots appeared rather confusing. Therefore, I'm not going to post them up.

Next! More food!


Auntie also posing!


Fish-ball & Hor Fun


Played posing outside the shop.
And then we headed to Khoo Kongsi for more photo-shooting.


They were experimenting with their cameras.


Khoo Kongsi's main building.


Old time signs, very nice.


Super Posers


Inside the hall.


Interesting wall-art. Look like guardians to me.


Behind-the-scene shot.
Yeah we took more photos behind the hall. After that, we left the place to look for a drink or something to cool us down.


Found this place - Takku Ice Cafe


The interior is quite nice.


Mango & mixed fruits.
Not the best one I've tried, but it's nice. Especially when the day is so hot, anything goes!

After that, we headed back to Ahlok's place to prepare for dinner with Shouters. Of course, we didn't go directly to the dinner place, we did more photo-shooting first. But I don't think I'm going to post up those shots, too many photos in this post already.


QEII Penang

And then dinner at "Big Tree Leg". That's direct translation from Chinese. It really means Under The Tree. So, Under The Tree Restaurant?


Group photo with Shouters and friends.
And then we had to run to the Ferry and Train Station, because we were late. We feared that we might lose the train. But the train was late! So, we took photos, again.


Final photo before heading home!
Do I miss Penang? Hmmm...

Penang, the 3rd

Continuing the Penang trip, yes this is the third part. Went to Cherry Sweet to eat Tom Yam.

Their signboard a bit difficult to see.
Went on in to find out what's special about this place. Ahlok said this place has very good Tom Yam soup. I love spicy food, especially curry. Good Tom Yam is difficult to find.


Seafood Tom Yam
Well, not as good as I expected, but can do. It's not really that spicy, and it lacked some flavor to it, I can't find the right words to explain that flavor. Sour, fishy taste, maybe not thick enough.


Green Curry Chicken
This one is my favorite among the food we tried, mamamia~


Stuffed Crabs?
I'm not sure what they stuffed the crabs' shells with, but it was good. Tasted like fish-ball or fish-cake.


Deep Fried Kangkung
Not my kind of food, but it was OK, sweet and crispy.


Dessert of the Day
I forgot its name, but very nice. Water-chestnut, ice, and jelly. Sweeeeeeeeet~

After that, we headed to somewhere else to eat more food. Jason and Joshua both uploaded a video, that teleport one. Yeah we headed to the place opposite of New World Park, to eat more desserts and fried oysters with egg.


Cendol
That's what we call it. Jelly, ice, red beans, coconut milk and so on. The result is very sweet, and if you can't take too much of coconut milk, then this is not your kind of food.


Uh, Capalang of Fruits?
Obviously, I forgot the name. And the photo tells everything, so I need not explain.


Fried Oysters with Egg
This is the special, I never tasted this kind of Fried Oyster with Egg before. Very very nice, but a little too oily. The sauce is what differentiates this one with others I've tasted. And it's very crispy, unlike those I normally eat.

And then we stopped eating and took a few lean shots, I'm not going to post those here because I look funny in those photos. Next, Lovers' Bridge?


Yes it is! Lovers' Bridge.
Though, I don't see why lovers would want to come here. It felt like it's going to collapse anytime. But the sight was nice, and they did their jumping, but no leaning photos because of the fear of leaning into the sea?


Fishermen

smashpOp jump, behind-the-scene shot.
And then it's time to go meet up with Penang Shouters for dinner, for the first time. I didn't take photos during the dinner, so there's only a group photo.


My version of group photo.
Kind of dark, and blur because I didn't change the camera settings.


smashpOp's version.
Here, a clearer one.

Next post, should be the final post for this Penang trip.

Penang, The 2nd

Continuing the previous post on the Penang trip with smashpOp, Douglas, Joshua and Ahlok - Entering, Penang! - We headed to the ferry.

Waiting for the ferry to arrive at the port.


Boats parked at the shore.


On the ferry.


Bloggers shooting their magical photos.


The ferry jump.
I actually kicked Jason's camera by accident during this shot. Good thing it was a minor hit. Anyway, sorry dude.


Nearing the port, that's QEII, I think.


Random shot.
And then we got off the ferry to meet up with Ahlok. A very friendly guy, now a Shouter. He brought us all for breakfast before heading to our next destination - Kek Lok Si.


What we had for breakfast - Toasts and coffee.
Kek Lok Si, a big temple. Why is it so famous? I don't know. Can anyone please explain it to me? Haha~ Next, a few photos of Kek Lok Si that I took.


There, my version of Kek Lok Si's photo.


I kind of like the plants in this photo.


Imagine with wide lens, fuyoh!


I find this part of Kek Lok Si rather relaxing.


Another photo of the temple.


Climbing the way up to the big Goddess Statue.


Construction in progress. We didn't get to see the rest of the place.


Guardian of the Temple.

And then smashpOp's leaning photos with me in as well. It was rather fun to do.

The Guan Ni Mah Lean


More Leaning action.


One leg also can!

That's all for this post. Next one will come as soon as tomorrow!

Woolala Penang~

This is not Aaron, I'm just a trespasser with granted access.

I'm Wendy, by the way.

As you all would know, Aaron is currently in Penang (again) and he came up with some fellow KL bloggers to attend ShoutOut's Year End Barbecue Party as well as celebrating my birthday! And yea, he gets to party at the beach. He seems very excited about it.

Ah well, I'm just doing a good deed for updating because he's been kinda stuck lately, so I'm just going to spruce things up a little here. Woolala~

This is his current condition, with my cool looking sunglasses. -_^

Woolala will be back in action in er, 2 days? Well, if he doesn't you guys can just mass spam his blog till he does okay. Make him blog for you guys!

So that's it for now, I shall bid goodbye with a Woolala.

Woolala~

Here I come, again!

I'm supposed to post about the 2nd part of the Penang trip, but I have a more important announcement to make.

I'm going to Penang again!

Starting Friday, until Sunday night. Why am I going to Penang again? To meet up with more Shouters, and a special occasion, ShoutOut's Year End Barbecue Party. It's held at the beach, so I don't want to miss this!

Here I come, again!

Will update a long post when I'm back at Port Klang.

Entering, Penang!

Penang trip post? Yes I think it is. You've seen the photos at smashpOp's blog, a different version at Douglas' blog, and Joshua's, well, they all took good photos. The ones I took are only normal photos. Their tools, gosh, great cameras! Just wait!

Now, my turn to explain about the Penang trip. My style.

I left Port Klang and traveled to Kuala Lumpur Central station by KTM. Expected a boring journey, so I filled my hand phone with songs and it helped. Anyway, I gave Jason, otherwise known as smashpOp, a call to find out where he is at the Central station, and then I spotted him with another guy I've never seen. So we introduced ourselves a bit. Douglas Ho, guess I made myself a new friend.

Suddenly, there was an announcement, the train we're supposed to board is going to take off in a few minutes. But there was another guy, missing. Joshua, rushed to the Central station as fast as he could after work. Apparently his boss wanted him to stay back for a while. It's a good thing he made it in time. The doors closed right after he boarded the train. What's next? We did what we like to do best, taking photos.

Aaron, yes me, and Joshua, the guy who almost miss the train.
Douglas took this photo.
Next, I started taking photos too, with my digital camera.


Douglas & Jason
Then Joshua got hungry, so we went to the cafeteria coach to find something to eat.


The Cafeteria
Quite a noisy area, there were people playing cards and games, I wonder who played Jengga. The train was shaking all the while. Having nothing to play with, Jason took out his hand phone to connect to the internet.


ShoutOut!
So Jason shouted while the very hungry Joshua ate, since he had to skip dinner time to rush to the station. After a while, we grew hungry too. According to Joshua, the fried rice was not good, so we went for the tastiest possible food on the train, probably the cleanest too. Instant noodles.


The food we ate.


Uh, eating the food?
Thanks to Douglas for this photo.
After that, we went back to our berths to rest. We chatted, took more photos, and eventually, fell asleep.......

The next morning, we were awakened by the alarms we set. I looked out of the window, Penang bridge greeted me. Finally, after almost 10 hours on the train.

We got off the train, stretched a bit, talked about the nice shaky sleep. Really, the trains' shaking felt like a swinging bed, it was fun. And well, we took more photos.


This is what I got, from the Butterworth station.
Cameras' flashed, everyone took their photos, Jason did his "Jump". And then we headed to the ferry.

I wanted to continue writing, but it will become too long. 27 photos in a post is too many, no? So I'll update again in one or two days. I have them all prepared. Come back again soon!

An Evening at The Curve

This is not a Penang trip's post.

Well, I went to The Curve last night with AlvinC to meet up with Firewire - a Shouter - to have dinner together, also to see Cherylyn and her boyfriend, Jason (a potential Shouter?), for the first time.

Here are the photos.

The Curve, ready for Christmas?


Empress Cafe


Jason & Cherylyn


Firewire, AlvinC, Cherylyn & Jason.


The same people, with different poses.


The Couple


Look at the picture behind Cherylyn.






I finally get to show my face.


Once again, Jason, Cherylyn, Firewire, Aaron, and AlvinC.

Next post, Penang trip?
Woolala~

Coming up next...

I'm back from Penang! And I'm ready to update a bit on the trip. But I can't fit everything into one post. That'll take very long, and the post will be too long, too. So, expect a few posts on the Penang trip.

Anyway, this post is only here to let you know I'm back. I will update again, once I'm done with processing all of the photos.

A photo of Penang, foggy.
Just in case someone said I made up a story, like what happened in the past.
More photos on the next update.

And, before I end this post, I really have to say, I had a great time eating and taking photos when I was at Penang. Had a lot of fun meeting up with Penang Shouters too. Finally huh? It's been long. I will go to Penang again, real soon!


Penang rocks!
Stay tuned.
