Of murals, shades, and Bob Marley

me thinks photo editing is way to troublesome so all of my photos are zero filter.

Penang at 6 a.m.

 day 1, first stop: Batu  Ferringghi


shooting in progress.



day 2: Georgetown. and the beginning of our food hunt trip




Muntri street. by the way, the mural looked super creepy at night. 


Love Lane.


i swear i did not know my traveling mates are all posers.










best curry laksa in the Air Itam market.




i'm very very happy with this holiday because throughout the whole trip, i spent less than RM250. pretty budget, no? and besides spending time to hunt down the murals like everyone else did, we also paid a visit to the beautiful Penang National Park at Teluk Bahang. from there, you can opt to hike to Pantai Kerachut, which is way cleaner and less crowded than the Batu Ferringghi beach. however, we didn't manage to hike to Pantai Kerachut because we were far too exhausted after a whole night of train ride and barely getting any sleep. in Batu Ferringghi, we stayed in Lazyboys Guesthouse which only cost us around RM27 per night. food in this area was okay and if you're planning on a budget trip, do not dine in any of the restaurants because that will burn a hole in your wallet, try food courts instead.

during our second day, we took the bus down to Georgetown and checked in to Ryokan Guesthouse, located at Muntri street, which only cost us RM30 per night, including breakfast. i must say staying in Muntri street was the best idea ever because by just walking for less than 10 minutes, you'll reach Chulia street, the main road opposite Love Lane, where you can find a row of hawker stalls appear magically when the clock strikes 6p.m. and they open till late night (dinner and supper gao dim). they have most of the Penang local delights - curry mee, wan ton mee(best selling food!), char kuey teow, cendol, and many more.

happiest trip i have had so far and i sense that there are many more to come. i couldn't think of any other better way to spend my final semester break before i start my degree.


and i am just so lucky to have these people in my life. thank you. cayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

(getting more and more depressed as i'm writing this post because i miss this trip so much brb emo)
