(An old notes from Penang)
Hey there, how's your world rockin'?
Mine, awesome like always
The only reason i write you is because i don't have anything to do this early morning in Penang. Yup, i'm in Penang rite now attending International Conference on Early Childhood and Special Education (ICECSE) 2011.
It's a conference where people talking and presenting their research within this related field (yeah, of course..what else then?)
I will post you later with details coz the program will be held until Sunday. But, i'll inform you other side of the journey of this program. Last nite after we had our last session of workshop (it was about sign language, by the way); Me, Leesa, Nazli, and Miss Abidah wass roaming around Penang town looking for something to eat.
Yup, adventure on our first day here. We took a long walk to go to the USM main gate. We passed the mosque. It was a beautiful mosque. And by beautiful i mean really old and "humble" architecture.
Coz non of us had ever known this town before, we asked for direction. And luckily one of brother at the bus stop gave us clue to go to Komtar or Padang Kota Lama with bus no 301 or 303.
Well, bit about Komtar that we know, it's a mall downtown here. Parkson and all those shopping stuffs. You can also find IT lots just like Lowyat in KL.
We arrived at Komtar after a bit jam. Bought towel and t shirt.
Padang Kota Lama was our next destination. After we asked one of mak cik in front of Komtar, we decided to go there by Becak. Yup, tourist becak. And of course it's YELLOW...
We took two becaks, 10rm each. Yeah, i know it's cheaper than Melaka. And it's a long ride also. Almost 15 minutes to reach Padang Kota Lama. He explained us about the city. Also one interesting event that we saw in one tent. It was something like Chinese drama performance. We saw performers dressed in traditional chinese costumes. And he said it happens only once a year duting this season. Wow...
We really want to see the performance, but i think it's impossible due to our tight schedule for the next day.
To make the story short...we finally arrived there. Padang kota lama, sea side view. After one and two (hundreds) photos, then straight to food court. Soon as we sat, some waiters came and offered foods. With a bit annoying style. Gosh!
We ordered Kerang bakar (grilled shells), tomyam, grilled squid and Laksa! Those foods plus our hungry tummy, a perfect combo to chew the foods within flash!
With fulltank tummy, we walked by sea side Padang Kota. Not much but the wind really refreshing. Many street merchants and openly message service drew our attention. Attractive!
It was 10.30pm and we should wait for the bus for the next hour. Well, we decided to took taxi and went back to USM. What a nite...zzzzzz!!
See you soon, world!
