the one with heritage

i have tonnes of things i wanna talk about but am really lazy to write them all down. haha. let's just talk about yesterday shall we? went for a Walk-In Heritage organized by Archaeology Club and History Club along with my friend Jasmine Abdul Karim (JAK). we went to visit most of the museums here in Penang. almost 3 years as a citizen of Penang, i didn't know there were so many museums. i only went to one museum which is the State Museum quite a long time ago. there were Islamic Museum, Malay Museum, and War Museum. apart from the museum we also went to Fort Cornwallis which was opened by Francis Light (the founder of Penang) and Kapitan Keling Mosque which highlights the existence of Indian Muslim in Malaysia. been to Kapitan Keling many times already. Fort Cornwallis, usually hang out there with my friends at night so never had the chance to actually see the inside of it until yesterday because they close at night. it was awesome seeing being in a bunker where they used to store weapon ammunitions and canons. hehe.. by the way, most of the roads in Penang were closed yesterday because of Chinese New Year Celebration. Lunar New Year here in Penang, the people celebrated it in a really grand manner. roads were closed and occupied by kiosks with all sorts of decoration. the streets of Penang were decorated with red lanterns hanging from lamp post to lamp post. it was really fun to walk along the streets of Penang because of the atmosphere it exerted yesterday. 

red lanterns 

gateway >> astonishing~

felt like a tourist yesterday~

love the concept >> old houses occupied by the generations of the Malay's Mosque's founder~

a tomb located next to the mosque >> prob belongs to one of the family of the founder~

i didn't take many pictures. i didn't even bring my DSLR coz there were some technical problems with the memory card. if i had bring it along, i would've been on a shooting photos spree~ hahaha

gladly the memory card's fine now~ =))

Penang War Museum was awesome!! it was the actual military post for the British then the Japanese during WWII...the bunkers, the main offices, the cook, the torture room and the torture tools and so on... scary! we had to crawl along tunnels and climb a 90 degree stair. it was super fun! planning on going again for a night tour where we can actually hear bombs explode and guns blazing through the night. people screaming. it would surely feel like we were actually there during the war~ and then we can relive the horrors of the WWII
