Penang Trip - Afternoon Half Of Day 1 - Part 3

Sighting seeing begins in the afternoon .. after all the heavy lunch ... I was kind of feeling sleepy and plus the hot weather... even worse... but Penang is famous for its many temples.. so my auntie wants to bring us to the temple to pray and see see look look.... so the first stop we went was a Thai Temple... which my fifth auntie says its famous in Penang.. for what reason... i kind of forget about it ....

The Enterance of the Thailand Temple

A Half Body Statue of a White Buddha

Then we went to a Burmese Temple where they have a standing Buddha which reach to the Celing of the Temple and it really really huge.... See my fifth auntie with the Buddha... the comparsion of it.... Its kind of blur... but that is the best that I can try to squeeze in... After all I am not a profession photographer... but I will try to improve...

Compare Compare.... Huge.....

Then we went to another Thai Temple... where they have a enormous sleeping Buddha... and as usual the sight amaze me .. as it was really huge.. and when i took the photo ... I could only capture till some where near the ankle part... I could not even capture the whole of it .... as the space inside the temple does not allow me to capture to it feet

The best I can capture within the Temple

Close to the actual size that I saw

After viewing so many temples.. my dad say do not want to go anymore .. as he does not believe in going to so many temple in a day.... so my fifth auntie say lets go driving around the mountain road to see if the road can lead back to their place and also to find the tropical fruit farm that she has been dying to find as she hard from friends... after so long there also have not been before and she does not dare to go alone .... so off we went ... for a car spinning time .. but the thing is that the twisting and turning of the road caused me to have a major headache and I end up sleeping in the car as everyone else was talking ... hehe ... me is so tired ... coz in the bus only 2 hours of sleep....

While in my sleep.... I hear my aunites and mum .. in fact everyone except me was so excited about something .. and it woke me up ... and something amazing caught their eyes.. we are actually driving along some durian plantation and ppl there use raffle string to tie to the during on 1 end and the other to the tree... so that when the durian drop from the tree.. it will not fall to the gound and injured the durian ... which actually spoils it and u cannot sell it ... so by doing it ... they save it from being spolit by the hard hit on the ground... and also easier for them to collect it ..

Look Closer to see the string tie to a durian each .....

That was the best photo I could take as the car was moving and my fifth auntie cannot stop long enough for me to get off to capture it and it was taken though the window... maybe can see my reflection ... lol.... no la .. u thnk my cam so super good mah ...

FINALLY !!!!! we found the tropical fruit farm... so we went in to see... and the first tree that we saw was a tree that my youngest gu gu told me was called the "bread melon".. I think something like that..... but things there do not look clean ... and I thinkw e only stop coz we wanted to go to the washroom ... hehe .... and they do have tour .. but it is so so so expensive.... RM 25 per person to let them bring you to the top of the orchard and then there will serve you some fruits... how u know what fruits... image eating 2 small piece of orange and it cost you RM 25 = abt SGD $11.50.. if give the visitor eat durian then its different.... but you will be suprise that a number of non chinese actually want to go on it....

Mum with the "Bread Melon"

Some Fruits for Sale... Does it look Inviting to you????

My Fav Dragon Fruit... Its the Plant.... Not ready to be consume...

A cute looking Pineapple

After this ... we decided to go home ... coz everyone was feeling sicky and tired from the Hot weather and also from being too long on the twisted roads.... everyone wanted to go home to bath .... as for me ... the only thing I did when I reach back crush onto the sofa and sleep... before dinner... I am totally tired out and my body and eyes could not take it any longer.. how long I slept ... seriously no idea.. as by the time mum woke me up... it was the WONDERFUL Dinner time ... that cost a bomb....

YUM YUM TIME...... To be eaten soon

p.s Cannot wait to go to sleep.. coz tomorrow is company's Family day and we are going to the ZOO ... yes the ZOO... with the monkeys ... polar bears... and all sort of animals... hehe ... will talk about it when I come home or after my Penang trips... entries... please remind me ... hehe... time to see my godson...
