Walking along Gurney Drive

It was Sunday during the twilight before the night falls. I woke up from my long afternoon nap and found myself alone at home. At first, I was thinking to go for a jog along Gurney Drive, though the sky was getting dark and maybe I’ll just pack my gear and go for an evening walk along Gurney Drive and take some randomness photo of Gurney Drive.

It was hell lot of sweat even though I did not jog, squarting up and down to catch a nice angle and looking for nice shot is a good exercise. However, Gurney Drive didn’t really have something nice for me to shoot.

I saw a not-actually-a-lot but not little of people chattering, walking, taking photos at Gurney Drive. It seems like a nice place to hang out, do a little walk, talkings but then the low tides uglyfied the place and the narrow pavement is narrow, they should have widen it so it will something like the Avenue of Stars in Hong Kong. Why not landfill the low tides area and build a park by the sea? I think it’s a good idea.

SEC more, the new electronic appliances store in Gurney Plaza. I didn’t knew about its opening until I saw the advert board outside Gurney Plaza when it lights on.

The sky was getting darker and I did not go further towards Gurney Drive, just staying around G Hotel area. Eventually, I went in Gurney Plaza for less than 5 minutes and I took the side exit and went back to Gurney Drive.

From far, I could see the new area of Penang the Tanjung Sri Pinang. It’s a new residential area and a lot of houses, offices and apartment are yet to be built.

Later on, I went to Gurney Drive hawker area to buy myself a drinks before going home. Seriously, I don’t eat there although I live near to where it is, the food is no good (to me).
