  • George Town World Heritage Day Celebration Weekend

    George Town World Heritage Day Celebration Weekend

    George Town, Penang celebrates an annual Heritage Day Celebration on the 7 of July to mark the city being incorporated in UNESCO World Heritage List of Cities and Sites back in 2008. The annual celebration brings various activities and street festival that showcases the cultural side of Penang.

    The Meng Eng Soo Temple Open House is part of the 3-days festival and I’ve brought myself into the street to feel and see Penang. It’s just beautiful the street of George Town is closed up for pedestrian, guides explaining the beauty past of Penang, and the sharing of wonderful culture.

    Although the annual festival is quite repetitive, it’s a lovely day to just indulge yourself into ‘Penang’ and remind oneself that Penang is culturally beautiful. I’ve not been to such event since many years back and this year, I see myself back into the city and the celebration!

  • Thaipusam in Penang, 2016

    Thaipusam in Penang, 2016

    Thaipusam in Penang, 2016 – Haven’t been to Thaipusam for many years, the last time was like 6 years ago that I went to join the rituals of throwing coconut to cleanse the road with coconut water for the devotees.

    It was a great one, visiting the Thaipusam area at Waterfall Road on the 2nd day of Thaipusam holy festival and it was crowded as usual. Getting up to the top of Waterfall Hill Temple (long name ahead!!! – Arulmigu Balathandayuthapani Temple) was tiring yet exciting because the view from the top was so good, not to mentioned the air was cooler up there.

    Not a Hindu, but still did a prayer at the temple for good health and good wealth. Getting back down ended my journey at the Thaipusam festival. Will do a more thorough Thaipusam experience next time!

  • 庙会 2013: Happening & Beautiful Chinese New Year In Penang

    庙会 2013: Happening & Beautiful Chinese New Year In Penang

    庙会 2013: Happening & Beautiful Chinese New Year In Penang – Looking at the photos below, I am sure that it’s another reason to visit Penang during Chinese New Year besides food. It’s culture, it’s people, it’s happening, it’s fun. I have been going to Miao Hui for quite a few years, they look the same to me, but it just never failed to impress visitors from other places and it’s an awesome day to bring your camera out for a little fun. I never thought of going to the Miao Hui this year because it’s all the same, but since I’d nothing to do, I went there with Alvin, brought my lovely Canon along, and shoot. Surprised to meet quite a number of familiar faces there too and ended chattering a lot and quite many shots.
    Well, this post is so delayed because it happened like 1.5 months back because I left my camera back in Penang, now I’ve got it, and you can get ready to put Penang into your next place to visit during Chinese New Year next year.
    Houston, NASA of Penang. LOL.
