Penang trip

Last Sunday, i had a small small trip go penang. I 've been waiting so long for this moment, goinf penang with some friends and travel ourself by car. not by bus..hehe

So it took us nearly 6 hours or driving frm melaka to penang. I go with Jian, Nicole, n Yean Hoong aka CT.Thx to Nicole car, the petrol consumption is dam low, haha. quite save...

so we check in the Continental hotel , guess oni 3 star. Take us round round around penang to find this hotel! we all so starving after 6 hour drive, and the first stop for dinner is for sure Gurney drive. so pai se, i;m too hungry, din take any photo lol

so next day, while waiting for nicole back from kedah, yea, she dump us and go Kedah wif her family . joking, she go Kedah to do some personal stuff, so left me, jian n CT. We decide to hang around at Fort Cornwallis. A famous fortress and build when Francis Ligth Era.

Not far from Kek Lok Si, There is a Dam around there. Actually we were lost, though wan to drive to top of the Kek Lok Si temple, but end up at the dam. It not a hydroelectric dam , but a dam where the water is kept for the usage of penang people..so all the drinking water and daily use water come frm here, i wonder if i pee on this dam, all penang ppl gonna drink it wahaha.. nah, it jus a joke, i wont do such inmmoral thing wahahaha
