北马之旅第4天 - 夕阳西下，一路向北 Northern Malaysia Trip 4th Day - Gone With Sunset

Check out from the guesthouse at 10.30am, undoubtedly we are going to leave Red Inn today, so do Penang too… Not as early as this, before we leave Penang, we should go more places of interest in Penang & enjoy more Penang local food.

The first destination we go today is Khoo Association, the grandest clan temple in Penang......

Khoo’s Association is also a famous filming spot, from local Chinese dramas such as A TIME TO EMBRACE to Hollywood movie like ANNA AND THE KING. They are all filming at Khoo’s Association.

Re-travel Khoo’s Association, touching every inch of the wall, I fall into the memories of primary school graduation trip in Penang again......

Since we are going to leave Penang soon, now we forget to grab some Penang famous Tau Sah Piah back home.

Afternoon, we have lunch at traditional kopitiam… However, according to Xiao Hua, this kopitiam serve the best Ice Kacang in Penang, hence we had Ice Kacang for dessert for our lunch. :D

 After a full lunch, it’s time for us to stroll to aid digestion… Today, we don’t feel like walking under the hot sun, hence, we choose to go for window shopping at 1^st Avenue, Komtar & Prangin mall.

However, window shopping is not that fun at all because we can only see and touch those items but we can’t own them. At last, we decided that we sing k at Red Box till evening.

                

When we took the ferry back to Butterworth, it’s already 7pm, it’s the time that the sun is already starting to set. As the ferry move towards the mainland, the Penang island became smaller and smaller from our sight as we more further from it. The sky too turned darker and darker as the sun set. It’s such a nice view of the sun setting from the ferry......

 Sky turned fully dark as we reached Butterworth port, we bought a bus ticket to the north and our next destination is Sungai Petani!! My grandma hometown......

                

My stomach started to growl in protest of hunger when we reached SP because it’s already 9pm in the night & we haven’t had anything yet for dinner. Thus, we quickly search for a food court to settle our hunger issue.

 Once we finish dinner, Yong Ying go back to her house while the remaining 5 of us go to my grandma’s house. Although it’s already past 10pm when we reached there, we are not going to sleep that early. This is because tonight there will be a lot of firework in occasion with the Tian Gong ritual ceremony. On the 9^th day of CNY on 12am later, we are going to stroll along to experience the village, the atmosphere during the Tian Gong ritual ceremony......
