i'm home!

finally here i am, the place that has nice food, high speed internet connection and awesome toilet! xDDD

as usual, i reached lcct 3 hours before my flight. lepak around this place that i might not be able to go anymore. byeeee lcct :)

went to Mahindarama Buddhist Temple today. it's a Theravada Buddhist temple along kampar road, which is one of the major meditation centers for buddhists in Malaysia. for those who are not from penang, you might not know how famous this temple is. almost every buddhist student loves to go to Mahindarama Buddhist Temple for blessings before their exam. thus, the temple will be very crowded a few weeks before national exams like UPSR, PMR and SPM. the two things that you must bring when you go there are your exam time table and milk (that's why this temple is also called "guleng hood").

planned to go to the Penang Peranakan Mansion that i've always wanted to go, but lousy me didn't know the address. i told dad that it was somewhere near the Dr. Sun Yat Sen's Penang Base and Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion. so dad drove around that area but we still couldn't find Penang Peranakan Mansion! T____T

i thought i could at least visit the Dr. Sun Yat Sen's Penang Base, but it was closed on sunday! so sad :( Dr. Sun Yat Sen's Penang Base is at one of historical shophouses at Armenian Street. it was initially owned by a straits chinese named Cheah Joo Siang, then was used as the base of Dr. Sun Yat Sen from 1909 to 1911. some important meetings were held at this place such as the Penang Conference in 1910. besides that, this was also the place where the movie "Road to Dawn" was filmed.

i could only manage to take a pic of this :(

randomly walked into a gallery which is at the same row with the Dr. Sun Yat Sen's Penang Base, and it looks like the houses at malacca that i went last time! it's still keeping its original historic interior, such as the air well (that i love so much). the Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum in Malacca has almost the same interior, including the air well too! besides that, i also found the streets at that area look so much like the streets at malacca, and i thought i was in malacca! ;D

that's all. i shall go to the Penang Peranakan Mansion and Dr. Sun Yat Sen's Penang Base one day!
