we tried to start off earlier today,wanted to meet uncle din (joe's cousin) at 9am.it was mum and joyce's turn to go down for buffet,so me and dad went to a nearby eatery for... BAK KUT TEH!:D this one was the gd one! we ordered vege with pork floss, fried tofu with some crispy stuff on top, you tiao to go with the soup and i had a bowl of rice myself!:D AND THAT WAS FOR BREAKFAST.hahaha! by the time we finished it was 9.30 alr! so we set off for Parkson's to buy swim suit.lol.mum forgot to bring mine! we had to wait till 10am for it to open and chionged in like crazy to buy! hahaha.
venue 1: went across the 13.5km Penang Bridge (aka Butterworth, who knows why.it makes me think of butter though.) and drove for abit more before we reached Bukit Merah.nope,its not the one we have in s'pore.this place has Water Park (a mini water theme park tt is quite dirty but they had a big bubble tt was quite fun.i dint play the rest alr.LOL.) and a Eco Park which we went to feed some small animals,I LOVE THE MONKEYS! so smart and quick-witted! they stretched their lil hands to grab the bread and fruits we bought for them! i fed deers,rabbits,fishes and goats too! HAHAHA.
venue 2: went back to Penang via ferry this time.they actually send ppl back on ferries that cars drive on top of! 0.0 the whole vehicle goes onto the big boat u know! cool eh! then we got off the car and took pics on the boat and enjoyed the wind:D nice feeling! we went to get duck porridge w loads of 'xiao cai' like pickled vege,tau kwa,salted eggs,egg omelette,pig intestines..they were gd! i love these small shops on their own which serves really authentic local food :DD
walked to a nearby local products store and bought MORE tau sar piah,durian sweets,herbal soups that my parents wanted to give their friends,again,i sampled like crazyyyyyy! muahahahaha!
venue 3: rushed to Khoo Kongsi heritage area and realised it was closed alr! we were there at 520 and realised they close at 5): had to skip the peranakan museum and rushed to Kek Lok Si temple.it has been there for quite some time and they're now building an even biggerrrrrrr Kuan Yin Statue! 0.0 it was closing at 6pm and we had 10mins to get in to take a look lol! ran around and snapped photos as fast as we could and left the place feeling awed.cause we were quite high up in the hills and the city area of penang looked so small!
venue 4: we had nth to do until 7pm when the night market starts, so we decided to drive up the hill somemore.when we reached,OMG.'I'm on the top of the world!!!' we took reallyyyy beautiful shots tgt! i looked at my left and right and there were pretty hills with their tops submerged in clouds all around! they had a reservoir and it was just so calming i tell you! i love the pictures that i take there.so so so serene(: stayed there for a while longer and decided to go down.and on the way,there were many durian and jackfruit trees! we saw a few ppl selling them and decided to stop the car to eat some! they led us to a shabby old house where they served tea with the durians that we bought on the spot.freshly plucked ones tt really taste so LOCAL.no word to describe it as its stronger.somehow.hahaha(: yummy! continued the journey down the hill!
venue 5: NIGHT MARKET! this was quite a long stretch selling penang souveneirs,sun dresses, bangles and necklaces etc tt i dint buy cause we were in a lil bit of a hurry.had to eat and shop in 1.5hrs u see.LOL.we walked abit and stopped at a hawker where we had WAN THAN MEE (that's how they spelt it.hahah),char kway teow,hokkien mee,fried oysters w egg.and on top of that,i saw MIEN JIAN KUEH! :D its pancakes actually and i chose Banana + Cheese! ate everyth up myself since they dint want.its not bad!:D i love these kind of kueh etc.:D walked down the stretch and when we finished,we realised we've rushed too much.had 15mins to spare before uncle din came to pick us-.- oh well.nth much to buy actually but everyth was really cheap!:D
now we're back in the hotel finally.im tired. think i had too much of the sour and spicy peranakan food yest, dint feel so gd today)): my throat really hurt thru'out the night and i woke up so so many times.argg.havent been slping well for the past few nights but at least its sufficient:D
