Ipoh-Penang Trip '10!

About a week before going down south with Hsien Hooi, Li Jia, Jacqueline and my sis to Malacca and Port Dickson, I actually traveled north to Ipoh and Penang with Eu-Juin, Chris, Zhi Sheng and Sara. This was another great getaway from the city. We went hunting for food and had a great time bonding. LOL.

Most of the photos were taken in Penang, but there is one photo I took in Ipoh that I feel is worthy of its appearance here. The cendol guy. We had roadside cendol which, according to Zhi Sheng is famous in the neighbourhood. He makes his own cendol from pandan leaves. It's all natural, but I didn't quite like the taste. It's really an acquired taste.



We spent one night at Zhi Sheng's house and headed to Penang the next morning with a few stops for photography. The following photos were all taken in Penang:

We went to the famous Kek Lok Si Temple:



Tortoises spending their precious time under the sun at the pond (Wishing Pond?):



At the beach. This poor starfish must have been a victim of pollution and got drifted to the shore.



We also spent time at the Penang Butterfly Farm. It was a little uncomfortable in there with live reptiles and insects on display and butterflies flying around, but it was colourful and a good place for photography. This butterfly was curious about Chris' camera and it smiled for my camera.



City view from Penang Hilltop. Different gases and dust blended together to give an interesting colour to the city atmosphere.
