生命不是一場賽跑﹑而是一次旅行

LIFE IS NOT A RACE, BUT A JOURNEY

比賽在乎終點﹑而旅行在乎沿途美好的記憶

GAMES CARES ABOUT THE END POINT WHILE THE TRAVEL CARES ABOUT THE BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES

歲月帶不走記憶,只會讓我更加想念

TIME WILL NOT FADE THE MEMORY, IT WILL ONLY MAKE ME MISS IT EVEN MORE

人不會因為獲得許多愛而覺得人生充滿快樂﹐卻會因為付出許多愛而感受到人生的快樂

PEOPLE DO NOT FEEL THAT THEIR LIVES ARE FULL OF JOY EVEN HAVE MANY LOVES, BUT WILL FEEL THE HAPPINESS OF LIFE OF MANY LOVES

回憶永遠站在背後﹐你無法拋棄只能擁抱

MEMORIES ALWAYS STANDING BEHIND, CAN'T ABANDON BUT ONLY EMBRACE

Penang Trip Rest and Relax

Right after our adventurous trip, we took night train heading to Kuala Lumpur and followed by bus ride to Penang. This was not the first time heading this nice place....why nice? In Penang, there are alot of nice food and sightseeing too. Friends bought us around and try their inexpensive local food. Simple and nice! Yummy ㋡

Well, I am a person who love to eat! Of course I will share with you.... so check it out ٩(-̮̮̃•̃)۶

For breakfast, you must try this! 
Sunny side up & toasted bread (with chilli). 1/2 cooked sunny side up in bread. Especially while chewing, so juicy and this goes extremely well with any kind of drinks_tea, coffee, teh tarik (拉茶) or even soft drinks_ Burp burp!!! Not only that, the price only RM 3.00!!!

If you prefer soupy base, can also consider having 
Guo Tiao Tang (果条汤) Kway Teow soup (known as flat rice noodles) OR
Mian Tang (面汤) Mee soup (known as egg noodles)
Very traditional style. Cooks with minced pork, some thinly sliced fish cake, a piece of bean curd, an egg, a pinch of spring onions and fried lard. The stock is a bit oily (caused by the minced pork) but not salty at all...must go with chilli padi (指天椒) or pepper to taste. This is very awesome! A bowl costs only RM 2.70!!! Gosh! 
Guo Tiao Tang (果条汤) Kway Teow soup (known as flat rice noodles) 
Mian Tang (面汤) Mee soup (known as egg noodles)
Not only these food, there are some nice food in this coffee shop too. Chicken rice, Char kway teoh (stir fried flat rice noodles), hokkien mee (Penang prawn egg noodles)! Cost around RM 2.80 to RM 3.00. So reasonable!! 
Location of the coffee shop: Sungai Nibong, Jalan Bukit Kecil 1(Opposite police station & Guang Hua Primary School).  

After breakfast, we went to Kek Lok Si temple (极乐寺). This is a very well known temple and it is the largest buddhist temple in Southeast Asia. Not only that, there is also has a 30.2m bronze statue of the Kuan YinSo must visit.

30.2m bronze statue of the Kuan Yin
Beside taking photograph, you can also divination. Gets the wishing ribbon and hang on the tree. "Boh pi boh pi" (保佑).

After praying, you can walk around and see the beautiful scenery. Enjoy the breeze. 

After temple visit, we heading downwards to a stall for Penang Laksa. This stall can be found along the road...Very crowded when we arrived as it was lunch time! The stall name: Pasar Air Itam Laksa (亚依淡巴杀加沙). Each bowl cost only RM 3.00. Business hour: 11.15am - 7.30pm. 

After laksa, we heading back to my friend's place and took some rest. 

Tea break time! High tea at fine restaurant? My friend drove us to one of Penang Heritage ...clan jetties at Weld Quay (also known as Pengkalan Weld). There are 8 clan jetties along Weld Quay. Namely Chew Jetty, Koay Jetty, Lee Jetty, Lim Jetty, Peng Aun Jetty, Tan Jetty, Yeoh Jetty and Mixed Clans Jetty. Chew Clan Jetty is one of the longest and best-preserved clan jetties located along Weld Quay, just a few hundreds meters away from Penang ferry terminal. 
Along one of the clan jetties (cannot remember the name of clan), there is a small stall selling Lor Bak (Nyonya food). Freshly make daily. Must try! Eat when it is still "HOT"...crunchy outside and the fillings very soft! AWESOME!!! you will love it! Moreover it only cost RM 0.80 per piece! Gosh! ✿◕‿◕✿ You can add chilli for extra taste. 
After our snack, we heading to newly open shopping mall, Straights Quey Marina Mall, Tangjung Tokong. Walking along the sea side enjoy the sea breeze and scenery. 

Having great time outside snoopy restaurant! yeshhhh. Some funny shots that always make me laugh whenever I look at these pictures! You guys are super comical fellows! 





Actually there are lot of nice places and food in Penang. Such as Hock Hin Keong (Snake Temple), Penang Museum and Art Gallery, Butterfly Farm, Putu Mayom, Salted fish Fried Bee Hoon, Curry Mee ...shall visit Penang again if there is another opportunity. (a❤‿❤a)

Gunung Stong l Malaysia (21 Oct - 22 Oct 2011) Part 5

Heading down from Gunung Stong was very tedious and dangerous. Slippery mud and also the steep slopes would cause injuries. I was so clumpy and fell couples of time. Had some minor cuts, but this was a great experience that I had ever gained.  (≧◡≦)
After a few hours heading down, we finally came down safely.
Life is a song - sing it. 

Life is a game - play it. 

Life is a challenge - meet it. 

Life is a dream - realize it. 

Life is a sacrifice - offer it. 
Life is love - enjoy it.
Had some rest and we went to back to the starting point for shower. Later the tour guide drove us to the Gua Gelap ("Dark Cave"). 
Follwed by Gua Ikan "Fish Cave"

After some sightseeing, we heading back to the coffee shop to had our dinner before taking the night train to Kuala Lumpur.

Gunung Stong l Malaysia (21 Oct - 22 Oct 2011) Part 1

Friends have been telling me the cloud sea is AWESOME beautiful. And it is worth to be on the mountain to view it. Thus friends made arrangement and I tagged along their plan.

Took a long train ride from Johor Bahru heading to Dabong. The ride was really exhausted, took around few hours and we managed to arrive at Kampong Dabong. Overnight at cheap rented apartment, of course well spacious and clean too. 

Rest well and recapture our energy, we had our breakfast at a coffee shop. Nasi (rice) and teh tarik (milk tea). Need heavy breakfast to kick start of the tedious mountain trekking. 

Right after our breakfast, the tour guide drove us to the starting point. 

While waiting for the rest of my friends to arrive, saw a cutie cat roaming around to welcome us. Look like Garfield! meow meow (*^ -^*) 

Finally we began our trekking, right after a few distance, I started feeling unwell and vomited. Seems my breakfast had yet to digest. OMG! Fortunately friends helped and patiently waiting for my recovery! Thanks guys and gals! We started off the trek. ٩(-̮̮̃•̃)۶

We walked a few distance and we saw an incredible Stong waterfall! And the surrounding was cooling too! We were so excited and took some pictures. 


After taking a little rest and enjoying the atmosphere, we carried on our trek. It was really challenging and enervated feelings. Took a break at the resting point. I was "sweat like a fish" so freaking drenched! wet wet wet with my own sweat! hahaha but extremely fun. During our trek we saw some species and snake. 


Friends encouragements and support, finally we arrived Baha Camp! Not the peak but at least 305m high! The camp is situated near the edge of the 305m vertical drop of Stong waterfall. The scenery is beautiful. 


Celebrating our victory! hip hip hurray ٩(-̮̮̃-̃)۶ 
We managed to "cool" ourselves down and cleaned our muddy trekking shoes! Washing up.
