Okay, enough of my bloodshot eyes already. Let’s continue my Penang trip photos, because it was really backdated.

I am in awe. Kek Lok Si is a serenely beautiful place, despite the not so sightly area where they peddle all sorts of goods.

The intricate designs and robust colours were truly captivating. The roof carving, the statues, they are all really beautiful. We took the opportunity to absorb the Zen aura of this place.

Take a deep breath… 1, 2….3…ahhh… I’ve got some Zen in me.

Ahh, Gurney. That stretch of famous beach. We were there enjoying the warm, tangy sea breeze. Life is good. :)

Komtar building from afar, with fake HDR effect. Ok or not?

Few weeks back before sending my sis off to take the plane to the Land O’ Cats, me family and I went to Penang for a food excursion trip.

Dad was our designated driver because he know Penang like the back of his hand. The man worked in Penang for five years last time, don’t play play yo!

boat

When there’s a lot of sea there will be fishermen driving out fishing boat out of the sea to catch some fish. And some other seafood.

They bring back the seafood and then there will be us, the seafood fans. I tried to fake HDR this photo using photoshop. How does it look to you?

crab

Seafood fanatics posed with food before eating.

kek lok si

We also went to the magnificent bronze Goddess of Mercy temple, the Kek Lok Si. Weather was cloudy. Do you know that while we can’t access Bukit Bendera right now, Kek Lok Si had installed their very own inclined lift to bring tourist up for a small fee?

laksa

We had assam laksa and it was a one word description: “Yum!”

durian

And then there was Balik Pulau durian and it was double “Yum!”.

Of course, I picked up some nutmeg produce in Cheong Kim Chuan while my sister posed for the camera.

Stay put for the rest of the photos!
