Holi Holiday~

i luv December because it's the month with the least work... and i got to go out of Kampar-what a big relief.. though i went to most of the places before, but different companion makes some difference.. climbing, walking and eating were what we did for 4long days-somehow very relaxing.. so, my holiday in pictures is as follows (lazy me blogging via the lazy method).. started off in Perak and ended in Penang..


Gua Tempurung, the famous cave in Perak.. Took the shortest route, only 40min-it was my 2nd time there.. and what I can say is, they found a few new cave formation images..

Kellie's Castle, the only castle in M'sia, unfortunately, it was not finished but still it's a tourist attraction spot and now it's a pre-wedding snapshot hot spot because we bump into 4 pairs of newly wed that day..

Botanic Garden, where you see flowers and trees but they are lacking currently..

Kek Lok Si, to be specific, the bronze Guan Yin pavillion.. sadly my picture with the statue didn't turn out nice (oh ya, the statue is the tallest standing guan yin in the world-that's what i found in google).. replaced it with this, one of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs.. i was not born in the year of the tiger, but was asked to take a pix beside the tiger by him because i am
'fierce'-grrrrr..


does this bedroom look familiar?


what about this dining hall?


the kitchen?


the porch...
It's Peranakan Mansion-doesn't sound familiar, does Little Nyonya ring a bell? Yeah, it's the mansion where Little Nyonya, the famous Singapore drama was filmed.. a tour guide led a group of tourists, and i without hesitation joined them and listened to a wonderful in-depth description of the house.. *thumbs up*

so, after visiting the Peranakan Mansion, a friend of mine, Leng became our tour guide and we walked for almost 3hours around Georgetown area for sightseeing.. the thing which caught our attentions was the many ancient looking buildings which are apparently BANKS at Beach Street.. so, Penangites may see a moron walking and snapping pix that day..


on the ferry, bidding farewell to Penang, The Pearl of the Orient... can you see Komtar?
that's it.. the end of my short holi holiday~

next up, yummylicious food i ate in Penang...
