Hi guys, I am back from Penang, Malaysia. Its great to be back home. Home sweet home! So I am gonna tell u guys about the exciting and interesting trip I had. Here goes. . . Took Singapore airline to Penang, Malaysia. When I first arrived there I was not used to the place and food. However, when I spent time there I got used to it slowly and steadily. I really wished I have stayed a few more days there. Day1: Went to have dinner at a chinese restaurant whose food was horrible but the price there was resonable. . .Then, took a trishaw which was driven by a old uncle and headed to Gamtar shopping centre. It was really a great opportunity and experience to sit on a trishaw, its fun! However, its quite dangerous as there are many cars on the road too.Took some beautiful pictures as we moved. Yay!We reached Gamtar! Did some window-shopping and we realized the things there were cheap, very cheap. Day2: What a horrible night! Could not get to sleep as my brother was squeezeing me in the small and tiny bed, so naturally, I was tired! Took a taxi to Penang hill after eating breakfast at Supertanker! Bought some chewing gums for my friends which costs RM1. Cheap huh? Took a train up the hill. It was a long journey as the train climb up, up, up. Guess at what height we stopped? It was about 700++metres above sea level. Wow! Admired the view there which was so gorgeous. We can see the whole of Penang from the hill. Also, we saw a cute monkey which wanted food from us. Took some pictures which I plan to upload soon. After a heavy lunch, took another taxi and headed to a beach where my brother and I tried Jetski. It was so fun as we ride the choppy waves. We bumped up, down, up, down. Cool huh? Did not try parachute paritally because of the price. Another vital reason was because we were too scared! LOL! The same taxi fetched us to spice garden. Learned quite a number of things there which increased my knowledge on plants. Took the same taxi again which was full of ciggarate smoke. What a inconsiderate driver! As we breathed in the air, we each shorten our lives by 1year. Haizz... Reached the butterfly garden which was full of butterflies. Obviously? There are so many different species of butterflies, some of them even stuck to my t-shirt. Seen some exhibits on butterflies and learned lots of new infomation which will definitely increase my science knowledge by leaps and bounds. Also, we seen many different species of animals in the exibitions hall. Took lots of photos. Pignose turtle, lepoard gecko, alligator snapper lizard, etc. There are still much more which I could not remember. They are cute, funky and fierce. Wow! We are so tired form walking, hence we headed back to the hotel. Ate our dinner at a high class restaurant. Yummy and delicious. Day3: Went to Queensbay mall which was Penang largest mall. It was really gigantic as we did not even had a chance to finish patronizing all the shops. Shop shop and shop. We went on a shopping sphere! Bought some clothes, shoes, toys, sandals, etc. It was cheap yet nice. We paid for the quantity and quality, so it was worth it, very worth it! Yeah, we spent our whole day shopping and walking around the mall. Day4:It was the last day of our trip, remember on the first day I was not used to the different environment which was slightly dirty and the food there was not that nice compared to Singapore so feel like heading back home, now instead, I feel like staying for a week more. It was a great trip. A real fulfilling and enriching trip! I am all relax and ready to return back to school! Thats all!
