inferiority complex thy suffer…

Once upon a time,a family of seven agreed to investigate an island fabled as the " crown jewel of north".If truth be told, the family was more eager to embark on  such a journey duly to distant rumours spreading that rojak, pasembor, laksa,ABC, and cendol are  at theyre lip-smacking best up north rather than the jewel reputation.

Past travellers spoke about a gargantuan bridge which sprawled across the sea connecting the  mainland and the island. Dangers lurks within its vicinity;one must be well-equipped with defensive driving skills as the bridge boast a high mortality rate.Realising lives are at stake, one member quipped in a warning.

" father, father, my inner eye insist on you slowing a wee bit the family vehicle"
" my dear, evidence suggest that i no longer need to persecute the inner commands deliberately. The traffic jams seems to magically slows us down."

The penang bridge and its huge tentacles. Vehicles can be seen fleeing from its two poisonous stings.

The legendary laksa penang is out there, father. I can feel ( or rather, smell ) it.

The day was getting dark.The family was worn out because of the long and arduous journey.Hence, they set foot upon a place name Gurney Drive to regain their strength and replenish their resources.Its nearing full moon, a season where travelling is the most ideal because of unobtrusive weather. Therefore, the family was not surprised to see the place was congested with fellow travellers thronging the area.They all seem at lost; due to confusing attack of food signs, titillating smell and hawker’s fare.

Taking a considerable amount of time to reach a consensus, the family settled upon a dish called pasembor and " char kuay teow".

                 Two galleons and 5 silvers per serving.

A form of attack which causes confusion, indecisiveness and dizziness. ( the family successfully repels similar attacks by just looking at the price tag)

Well fed and watered, the family braved on to conquer a 3000ft hill in the middle of the island.History has it that atop of the hill lies a quaint village complete with a mosque , a temple , a police station and assortments of eateries.The birds eye view of the island can be seen at the peak which iwas fairly useful to target cannons at oncoming enemies.

Being an adventurous lot, the family desires to ascend uphill by foot was met with a resounding nay by the officers guarding the hill, protests nonwithstanding.

" No sire, you musnt walk up, its way too far. Ride on our special carriage instead."
" Is it strong enough to withheld us all the way?"
"You have my word that this red beast can carry 20 at one go.Now, 4 galleons please,"

     People cant wait to get out of this highly-uncomfortable beast

This beast is slower than a tortoise therefore colliding is not a serious issue

                      One of many Bukit Bendera signage

                The road to perdition which takes nothing less than forever

The temperature on top was much more cooler and the air was fresher.The family quickly found out wether history reads right or wrong.

      This view makes you want to shoot dwellers down there with an arrow

                    Place of worship in high-definition and true-colour

                           Sun-inspired mosque ( agaknye.)

Hill dwellers staple food             Chak! ade rumah!

Highly inquisitive and brazen, one female member of family stumbled upon a ruin erecting magnificently; hidden at the very end of the hill. Much to her dismay, the sign emblazoned" NO TRESPASSING,PRIVATE PROPERTY" was fixed just nearby.

          Half-wishing a dashing young prince will come and save her.:P

                 Descending to lower ground in 45 degree angle

Having enough of higher ground, the family resume their conquest to the lower ground afterwards.Mission : Find the beach where one colossal wave once reduced the area into shambles, sweeping away 5 lives and devastating the livelihood of many.

to be continued..

next up: tsunami beach and durian galore.

writers’ note: ok kawan-kawan sekalian. friendster blogs yg pelik wont let me upload anymore photos ( yg ade banyak lagi ) for this month. Therefore , the story will be continued on New Year.
