Youth Park, Penang

I can't remember last time I been there. Although as a Penangite, I will get lost easily on the island. The only mall I know how to reach by driving, is only Queensbay Mall, sad right?

One morning during sem break, while fetching my grandma to have physiology exercise at NASAM, me and my brother drove to Youth Park, which is just beside the NASAM center.

Green green place, like it so much~

See people doing exercise with the machine.

No feeding to monkey - this will make them offensive.

extreme game rink. This is the park that inspire me to skate, then I realize my skate's type is not suitable for it.

Swimming pool. But less people in weekdays, as these pools are design for children.

Youth park's dog.

Top view of small part of Youth Park. This place is cool, less sunlight, all blocked by big trees.

Monkey king, other monkey family hide into the trees when they saw us.

Dinosaur's eggs.

Last time while still schooling, my dad used to brought us here, having fun climbing those metal bars, playing "chu chu pan", now study in U, and they getting busier, then I never been here before.

How nice if we can travel in time... but current time is not that bad too, feel grateful for everything.

Langkawi Trip

Early in the Thursday morning departed from Butterworth to Kuala Kedah, thanks to our insane driver Boon Loong (aka BL). Together with other Green Club people, Gan, VP, WL.

Kuala Kedah port. It's a heavy rainy morning, but we still managed to reach there in 1 hour, with average speed 140km/h. This is call insane.

Schedule board. Not bad, feel like a mini airport.

Negotiate with the ferry guy. Actually the fees are fixed, just he introduced a car renting service and took our RM40 without explaining to us clearly. Screw him, better take it on the island after inspect the car carefully.

Typical fishing village at Kuala Kedah. See the sea water like Milo.

 
(Help me.....) BL got hard time during the ferry trip. In fact, everyone had. The wave is not calm, and the ferry is jerking up and down for 1 hour and 40 minutes. I am glad I didn't vomit out, thanks to a pack of  Fishermen's Friend. (but still feel very very dizzy)

This is the water at Port Kuah, Langkawi port. See the water is so clear~ (it's raining that time) Compare to the Milo at Kuala Kedah, this is much much better. Why? Not sure, maybe Kuala Kedah has more mud?

Rented a car. 24 hours for only RM40, dirt cheap.

Our place for sleeping. Bella Vista, RM120 per night, quite cheap too. Actually I don't mind where to sleep, just need some place to sleep.

This hotel is like Disneyland, but same like last time the Berjaya Hill, no people.

VP by the poolside. Nice place? Yes it is.

Langkawi also have paddy field? Ha, it's part of Kedah.

Mahsuri Tomb
First place we visited was Mahsuri Tomb. Who is she? Google for it, lazy to explain here.

See this cute little girl playing Malay traditional music instrument, very nice melody. After performance we gave a lot claps claps~

Mahsuri is sleeping in there. 

Peacock.

Black Sand Beach
This tourism spot is odd. Not many people that time. We all know the sand is black, but never know is really THAT black!

Black like shit...

Mr Gan and BL is advertising themselves on the beach. (But later the wave will clean it)

What the Fuc* is this?! This place is seriously polluted and damaged. The rubbish is everywhere, and a large part of the beach was flowed away by small stream of water slowly. Guess will gone in few more years, lousy government. Visitors also should responsible for that, "some" came here, and pick a handful of black sand as souvenir, die la.

Yay, another se7en~

Black Sand Beach Cat. So elegant.

Had dinner at Kenny Roger Roaster. They served the side dishes first before the chicken, because the chicken is not yet cooked. Very weird phenomenon here, all malls, even the busiest port mall, have very low visitors, so they can't cook the chicken early, else it will become not fresh to serve.

RM1.60? Drink mineral water is more expensive than beer...

Our "supper". Go Langkawi must drink alcohols, because it really dirt cheap here. So after some drink, feel damn high, everyone laughing with no reason. (!!) I slept until no feeling... ei? it's morning liao~

Langkawi Char Kue Teow. Look almost like Penang one, just the price doubled. Here only beer and chocolate are cheap, other stuff, nah. But hotel and car renting are cheap too.

Langkawi cat, kawaii~

Nice view from hotel second floor. Sad is no beach, only sea view.

OK, very big. (..............)

The morning we went for breakfast, and shopped for some chocolate and alcohols at the local shops. I bought some chocolates, for dad and mom, cousins, friends. yum yum.

Big Eagle~ Go Langkawi must visit this big bird. Why? Don't know, but make me feel the trip is completed. Took a lot crazy pictures with it, hahaha~

So nice, except no 'L' and 'I'.

Bravo~

More group photos.

The ferry back to Kuala Kedah is not as terrible as coming time, maybe the sea is calmer and we choose the back seat, plus bought sour stuff to eat. Hehe, did some homework.

This trip is not expensive, with the chocolate, is about RM200 per person. (for me la)

Thought:
The last time I been there is 6 or 7 years ago, not much memory. Now going back, feel not familiar at all, maybe not change, just feel fresh.

Certain tourism spot is seriously polluted, like the Black Sand Beach. Due to limited time, we can't visit more places, don't know other place's condition. But can make an assumption: those who take entry ticket survived, other free entry spot died.

5 guys trip, just nice, enough seat in a car, enough sleep in hotel, fast enough to make decision,

Maybe years later, I shall visit again.

Ish...

Saw my result.

It sucks. Much much lower than my expectation.

Really hope something wrong with it...

Hmm... Already tried my best.

NASAM

My grandma had stroke attack few months ago. The strike caused her left side can't operate well, include left arms, left legs, left face muscles etc. So hurt to see her can't do anything.

We found an association in Penang island, name NASAM, or National Stroke Association of Malaysia. It's a non-profit organization to help stroke patients to be independent, and to recover -- partially, if not fully.

The association is run by a group of volunteers and trainees, from universities around Malaysia. Some volunteers are dance and aerobic trainers.

We sent grandma over there every morning, to undergo the recovery training.

The leader of the training activities. He is demonstrating simple activities like stretching, expanding arms, breathing, carry items etc.

Volunteers are leading the patients to dance with them.

What is Stroke?
Stroke is the dead of brain cells, caused by blockage of vessels in brain, thus cut off the oxygen transportation to the brain cells, and cause permanent damage.

The damage caused certain parts of body not functioning, and need further rehabilitation to regain their living skills as much as possible.

More information about Stroke, refer here.

I can't do anything for it, just pray everything will be fine.
