宝贝
今天翻出你的遗物，
才惊觉你已離開了那么多年。今天翻出你的遗物，
每逢想起你的点点滴滴，
心里就会不由自主地揪了一下。
在开始写这篇时才赫然发现，
原来我已没有任何你的照片可用了。
往年都是反复地使用那几张仅有却已发了黄的照片。
非常纳闷为何当初没能为你留下多些回忆呢？
自从你离开以后，
我都尽量避免经过我们曾一起散步的街道。

Penang is a melting pot of cultures with east-west influences. Apart from its exotic food, what piques me the most would be their heritage.
The Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi (龙山堂邱公司), or simply, Khoo Kongsi for short, is a clan association in Penang that was built by the immigrants from Sin Kang village in the Hokkien province of China for the purpose of looking after the welfare of their fellow clansmen.
Before my visit, I wonder why many have commented on the elusiveness of its location? It was only when I was there in person that I truly understood what they meant.
The main entrance at Cannon Street bears no clue as to what might be inside as it looked just like any of its neighbors along the entire row of pre-war building.
Some people suffer difficulties
Making friends for life
But when it come to you, my Pal
You're better than a wife!
You're always pleased to see me
You hang onto my every word
You will follow me to the ends of the earth
completely undeterred!
Maybe because you can't talk back
that helps the situation.
But I'll do anything for you, my friend
Without any hesitation.
Gurney Drive
Mention Penang and what comes to mind?
For me, it's the iconic Penang Laksa and Char Kway Teow (Penangites spell it as Char Koay Teow). And where better to enjoy Penang hawker fare than Gurney Drive - home to Penang's most popular street food?
Well, just think of it as Penang's equivalent of our very own Newton Circus.
After visiting Kek Lok Si Temple, it was time to check-in to our hotel.
It was already early evening when we arrived. The hotel was situated atop a steep slope but for some reasons, the coach was unable to drive us in and we had to walk in, lugging our own luggage behind us.
With the horrible experience of our previous hotel at Hat Yai still
fresh in my mind, I am wary of what is to come at this hotel.
In my previous post, we visited the Padi Muzium in Kedah.
After that, we are headed for Kek
Lok Si Temple (极乐寺) located at Air Itam, Penang.
Kek Lok Si Temple, or Temple of Supreme Bliss, was founded more than a century ago by the benevolent Beow Lean, a devout Buddhist from Fujian province.
Do you know, the project received the sanction of the Manchu Emperor Guangxu, who bestowed a tablet and gift of 70,000 volumes of the Imperial Edition of the Buddhist Sutras?
This is a long overdue post!
Remember my previous trip to Hat Yai where I complained about the lousy hotel with cockroach-infested bathroom and being served the same breakfast every morning?
I will be going to Hat Yai again next month and I still have not completed blogging about that trip from 11 months ago!
I gotta stop procrastinating and pick up where I left off to complete this trip!
Check out my last night at Hat Yai here where we visited the Transvestite Show.
So, the next morning, we boarded the coach to the Thailand - Malaysia border where we exited Songkhla to re-enter Malaysia.
