Activities Along Beach Street In Penang

During my weekend in Penang, we went to Church Street, I was told that they have some interesting activities along the Church Street in Georgetown every Sunday. Indeed there was when I reached around 11am on that beautiful sunny Sunday.  Some part of the roads were being blocked to make way for the pedestrians to walk freely and to take part in some activities.  Sort of a family day...Kids can cycle freely, there are bicycles for rent, two wheels, three wheels.... To my delight, it was indeed an eye opener for me and I would love to go there once again...
Church Street... mainly office buildings...
Colonial structures... 
Nice deco here.. our local buildings not bad, huh...
Fun and activities...
What's the name of the game?
Sweet voices filled the air... "Nobody, nobody but You.... "
Sounded like Korean singers....
T-shirts and souvenirs for sale....
This is something new to me...
Knives Massage, anyone???
 Looks like fun here too... 
I wouldn't mind having a ride in this too!
Family bonding day.... 
Ipoh should have one of these street activities too...
Standing in the midst of it all...
Must come by here again the next time...
Do some cycling exercise.... hmmm....

  2. Interesting. If only the weather here is like overseas, that would be really nice. In KK, Sabah, they have the tamu at Gaya Street on Sunday mornings. I love that too!

  3. i like this street lah.. i think only in Penang?? surely in KL there are rarely something like this, if there is then it's always indoor.. i like these activities "al fresco", it feels more active and sporting (just like you), agree??

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
