Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi

I never know about Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi until I come to there. Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi called as Khoo Kongsi for short.

Khoo Kongsi is located in Cannon Square. Khoo Kongsi is a miniature clan village set into the city of George Town.

Two new my friend join us. We find the passangeway. I pay RM5 as senior citizen fee. Adults fee is RM10.

One of the passangeway. Another passangeway at other position.


Can see the sky above me. The buildings has few level.




 The temple

 See -> next to Khoo Kongsi. I don't take photo of this map without myself.
 
 I am a bit of shocked when find this. 
I think that filming of Anne and the King is located at Langkawi and Perak before find this.

After this place, we go to the hotel and return KL. The highway always has traffic jam. I and two my friends are stuck in the bus more than 7 hours. 
I want to post my experience about Singapore travel but I am not sure. I always don't have mood of blogging.

Blue Mansion and The Chocolate Boutique

I don't write post about Penang trip for quite long time.


Blue Mansion is a historical courtyard house blue paint. Blue Mansion is also known as Cheong Fatt Tze. Blue Mansion looks so elegant when I see this outside.

Blue Mansion was located near with Red Inn Cabana. I might walk from Red Inn Cabana to Blue Mansion within 3 minutes.

My friend recommend me to visit Blue Mansion. I asked a man who sells ticket for entrance.
NO FREE. RM10 for me after show my JKM card.

I think that this fee is not worth. I walk forward in several steps and take photos. I cancel a plan.

I visit my friend's house. I give surprise to my friend. My friend is so funny.

The Chocolate Boutique is located next to Red Inn Cabana. The Chocolate Boutiqueoffers more than just a wide variety of high quality chocolates. Enterance is free.

I and my friends get badge. A staff guide us as nice as well. We taste some chocolates sample and some coffee.


Dark chocolate is not same as milk chocolate. It tastes little bitter.

Chill chocolate is really spicy.  


I buy the durian coffee. The durian coffee smells quite like durian smell. I don't buy any chocolate. Most of chocolate are quite expensive. There provide great experience for chocolate lover.

Penang Peranakan Mansion


Penang Peranakan Mansion is located at Church Street. Many things in this mansion are luxury but old.
Visiting Pinang Peranakan Mansion is one of my wish. Finally I reach this wish thankfully. Thanks to my friends.


The light green mansion.

I can imagine what condition in this mansion in 50s and 60s. 
This mansion is better than Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum at Malacca
because of stupid law such as not allowed to take photo in Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum.

 I like this picture. This picture nostaglic me. 
We have to take off shoes before step on the stairs to walk up to level above.

Hot hot! (In my mind)
This floor is so hot because gets sunlight.
My footprints get heat on the floor. 
My face looks like really serious.

I'm paparazzi. I take photo of a woman who is quite pretty. haha
I blur some so that you can focus on her. 
Is she so pretty? 

I copy my friend's pose on same chair but my friend pose better than mine. T_T
I would like to kiss my lovely lady on this chair.
No one beside me there. Sigh~

I put my badge on some leaves (left) and my badge is at middle (right).
If you find it, please take photo of it and let me know. Ok? 
I don't know why visitors put badges on the bamboo leaf/twig. 

There are pictures of drama The Little Nyonya. However, those pictures are faded. 
The management should change new same pictures instead of them.
I love drama The Little Nyonya.

The fee of ticket for adult (hearing) is RM10 but the fee of ticket for adult (deaf) is RM5. 
Have to show JKM card to staff. 
You can get more information about Pinang Peranakan Museum by click here.

Fort Cornwallis

I wished to visit Fort Cornwallis in 2010 but unfortunately I was too late because there was closed.

2 years later.


I and my friends walk to Fort Cornwallis. We took photos in Tanjong City Marina before continue journey to there. You can see view of sea there.

I really feel very hot. Finally, my wish already achieved.

Lucky there still open.

I get free entrance because I'm Deaf. I have my JKM card. I rarely to mention OKU anymore.
Fee of ticket for adult is RM2.00.

I copy his pose but fail. He is Francis Light. 

It's a map.

 There is a small church. This church was built since year 1799.
I forget what is inside this church.

 
I think that I can't enter into Penang Harbour Lighthouse. I find info that this lighthouse located at Fort Cornwallis in Penang is also opened to public admission. I never have been in the lighthouse.

It's on the level 1, not level G.

The Sri Rambai Cannon is different than other cannons because it's little rustle. 
It was found at Malacca Strait in year 1880.

Fort Cornwallis is a historical building. You should come to Fort Cornwallis if you curious about Penang history. You can read more info if click here.

Sculpture Art In Penang

I already find most of sculpture art around George Town. I  forget about name of road where sculpture art located.

You can find more information about sculpture art through here.

First day
We find those sculpture art before arrive at the hotel.


Second day
We walk to search sculpture art and wall art.

 It's in front of Red Inn Cabana Hotel. 


Orang kaya: Saya hendak beli guni beras.
Tauke:         Berapa guni? 
Orang kaya: Mestilah 1. Saya terlalu tua untuk bawa banyak guni beras.
Tauke:        Tak boleh cakap begitu.
Orang kaya: Kenapa?
Tauke:         Kita muda jika kita fikir bahawa kita muda. 
Orang kaya: Itu kata tipu diri sendiri. Sudahlah. Berapa bayar?  
Tauke:         Ceh! RM5. 
Orang kaya: Wah, mahalnya sikit!
Tauke:         Usah berkira sangat. Harga itu cukup murah. 
Orang kaya:  Okey. (Beri wang kepada tauke)
Tauke:         Terima kasih. Sila datang lagi. 




I try to hold it up but fail. 

Second day
I search them alone.

I ask other tourist to take photo after they take photo of it.

I take time a bit of long to find it. I sweat so many.It's at Lebuh Kimberley.

At Jalan Sungai Ujong

I have not enough energy to find all sculpture art. I want to find more sculpture art next time.

Art Wall In Penang

I have a mission that I have to see all art wall and take photo of them. 

I and my friends walk to search wall art. Ernest Zacharevic paint all art wall at George Town. Those art wall are so popular among tourist.


We find the first wall art at Muntri Street. The first wall art is "Little Girl in Blue" Mural. 

Two of my friends leave us earlier. We continue to search more wall art.

We find the unnamed mural, "Little Boy with Pet Dinosaur" Mural and "Boy on a Bike" Mural at Ah Quee Street.


Pity of it. I name it as "Pet Alone"


A lot of people take queue to take photo together "Little Boy with Pet Dinosaur and "Boy on a Bike" murals.


We go to Armenian Street to take photo together "Little Children on a Bicycle" Mural. A lot of people take queue to take photo together this mural.


We walk to Chew Jetty to find "Children in Boat" Mural. No more people take photo together this mural that time.


I see two actors and an actress work on depiction there. I take photo together Miao Miao.

I feel too tired. We go to the famous cendol stall. We miss three other art wall.

Next day, I continue to search three art wall. My friends go to War Museum where I already visit before. I don't want to join them. I take trishaw first time. I feel like I am in a car with slow speed.


The trishaw stop off Armenian Street. I ask that trishaw paddler to send me to "Reaching Up" Mural place but he refuse. I think whether he understand what do I say or not but I am not sure.


I walk at Cannon Street to find "Reaching Up" Mural. I ask stranger for help. I see "This Old Man" mural at Armenian Street.




I search the last mural carefully along Penang Road. I find the last mural, The Awaiting Trishaw Paddler at Penang Road. This mural is on the flat beside Red Inn Cabana and Blue Mansion.

The mission already done. Don't do vandalism on all art wall. Please appreciate all art wall.

Bukit Bendera

Saya melawat Bukit Bendera kali pertama. Pada tahun 2010, saya dan kawan saya hendak ke Bukit Bendera tetapi rancangan ini tidak jadi kerana kerja pengubahsuaian dilakukan pada masa itu.


Pemegang kad OKU menaiki kereta api secara percuma. Saya nampak gambar empat trem dari permulaan ke kini. Trem kini berwarna biru dan bergerak dengan pantas.


Banyak orang datang ke Bukit Bendera. Saya tidak boleh duduk di dalam kereta api dalam perjalanan pergi dan balik. Kereta api bergerak dengan lebih pantas kini berbanding dengan kereta api lama.


Kereta api sampai di puncak Bukit Bendera. Sebaik saya keluar dari kereta api, saya terasa sejuk sekali. Saya melihat panaroma yang mengasyikkan di puncak Bukit Bendera.

Saya rela hati menolong pelancong berkulit putih menangkap gambar. Saya tidak dapat mendengar apa dikatakan oleh mereka. Saya berasa pelik tentang sebab saya membantu mereka secara spontan.

Kami bergambar dan berjalan-jalan. Banyak bangunan berdiri dalam keadaan sesak terutamanya di sekitar Georgetown yang saya nampak di puncak Bukit Bendera.

Kami melawat Muzium Burung Hantu (Owl Museum). Pemegang kad OKU membayar RM5 manakala pemegang kad MyKad membayar RM10 untuk masuk ke dalam muzium ini. Saya menerima hadiah percuma seperti rantai kecil. Muzium ini kelihatan seperti galeri seni burung hantu.


Hasil seni tentang burung hantu yang menarik. Ada yang comel dan cantik. Sesetengah hasil seni buatan orang luar negara manakala sesetengah hasil seni buatan orang tempatan. Saya anggap hasil seni itu bernilai tinggi.


Awak boleh membeli cenderamata di kedai. Saya melukis sesuatu yang lucu besertakan nama orang yang saya kenal pada buku lukisan yang disediakan di kaunter.

Saya menjalani tawar-menawar harga dengan peniaga. Saya tidak mendapat harga tawaran hendak saya bayar tetapi peniaga sudi menawarkan harga lebih rendah daripada harga asal. Saya berasa sangsi tetapi saya membeli sehelai baju shirt. Haha.

Kami tidak boleh menjelajah seluruh tempat di puncak Bukit Bendera kerana kesuntukan masa. Kami turun ke bawah dengan kereta api.
