the one where we dunno how to read the map?

haha.. i know, the title itself shows how dumb i am when it comes to map-reading. i thought i know and i thought it would be easy, but clearly i was wrong. it starts with me and my dear friend Jasmine Abdul Karim and it happened about 4 days ago. our little tour in Georgetown Penang. weird huh? it's been 3 years of me living in Penang but i still got lost. maybe i need to live for another 3 years to familiarize myself with the roads in Penang.. and i need a car! abah! ooopppss, licence first! damn!! i'm 22 yo and i don't even have a driving licence! but anyways, Georgetown is like a really huge maze and getting lost is common. so no worries you first-timer in Penang out there! you need to get lost so that you're familiar with the roads.. *knp bunyi ayat nie mcm pelik? get lost?* hahha!

imagine this is Georgetown and that's me and jasmine~ haha

we actually decided to go to Georgetown because we wanted to visit the State Museum for our research. it was the first time we ever get to use the RapidPenang CAT free shuttle bus. it was actually for tourists since its destination is actually tourist attractions. the funny thing is the people on the bus were not tourists. they were local people! well, maybe because it's free. haha! i guess you can put it this way, me and my friend.. we were the only 'tourists' on the bus! ngahahahaahah!!!

the museum was really interesting btw. it was full of information on Penang's culture and people. surprisingly, there's a lot you can learn just by visiting the museum. we managed to interview the museum staff, local and even international tourists from Thailand and Scotland. we were lucky actually since it was on Sunday.. hence the museum was jam-packed with tourists from all over the world. =PPP

the front of the museum with JAK as the model~ haha!

then we walked from the museum all the way to Masjid Kapitan Keling for Zuhur prayer. the mosque really gives me goosebumps. the first time i went there which was around a year ago, i swear i thought i saw 'kelibat putih' crossed behind me while i was taking my wudhu'. i saw it through the mirror and i remember i was alone. i almost freaked out but then i quickened everything and got out of the restroom. God knows how scared i was but i tried to think it was my imagination. huhu.. that was a year ago anyway.. might just be me imagining things. i was taking LHP453/creative writing that sem. hence my imagination was never ending. hahahahah~

seriously from state museum to the mosque, the views and people were really nice and it would look superb if photographed. i had my DSLR but we were in a hurry so didn't really had enough time to take pictures. but i will soon. then we went looking for KOMTAR. this is where it got interesting. WE WERE LOST!! haha

i thought i read it right and we would end up at the right place but the street we ended up in was the complete opposite of what we thought. okay... we dunno how to read maps. that said. it was weird coz the road we took, it was absolutely empty! all shops were closed and there were nobody.. almost like a deserted town! like in the movies! with newspapers flying around looking like a dead city! dang i should've taken some pictures so you guys can see how dead it was.. haha~

it was like this but if say that pic is Penang it would be an exaggeration punishable by death.. haha.. so pretty~ ours was quite scary.. =))

we got into a small fight more like a cute fight.. hhahaa.. about which one is the way.. then a local middle-aged Chinese man helped us.. thank you uncle! haha

he even asked where we're from.. and i said from JB. it would be really embarrassing to say we're from USM. he even wished us to enjoy our holiday! *sorry uncle* heheheh~

we found KOMTAR.. it was easy because KOMTAR's building is really tall and we just went from one small street to another until we found the place. haha~

why we went to KOMTAR? 

to drink Cool Blog.. hahah.. gila x? jalan kaki di Georgetown looking for KOMTAR semata2 nak minum Cool Blog??? hehehe~

love that day anyway! would love to do it all over again! =PP
