A Trip to Taiping

Wanted to wake up at 6 am this morning but i couldn't as i was tired. My phone alarm rang for times, still, i couldn't get up. Of course, in the end, i woke up a little bit earlier than my siblings in order to avoid the que for the washroom.

We went to meet the other friends at the opposite of Tesco as we prefer to go to Taiping together (the exact place is actually called Pusat Eco Pelajaran Hutan Paya Laut Matang). So yea, as you know, Malaysians are always so not punctual, we waited from 7.35am till 8.15am, for everyone to reach. But then, thanks for being late because i have never seen the view of Penang bridge from the road side as this is my very first time, seeing it closely. Alas, Penang has such a beautiful view!!! This is my very first time to feel that i am so lucky to have Penang as my hometown.

The view of Penang bridge ^-^ *Nice weiiiiii!!!*

Lay Nee and I :)

Before heading to the Hutan Paya, we went to visit the charcoal factory at Kuala Sepang. A little history was mentioned that the factory was there since 1940, before the Japanese conquered Malaysia. Charcoals are used to make medicines and cosmetics. Other than that, they can be used in food, such as putting them inside with the rice to cook and using them to stir the coffee to pro - strong the aroma smell, haha. To produce quality charcoals, it is a must to ensure that the factory must have workers for 24 hours. Also, to produce charcoals ain't easy at all as the workers need 30 days to produce the charcoals.

Demonstration to peel of the skin. It may look easy, but it is not that easy though.



We spent about an hour there then headed to the Hutan Paya. It is a nice place to have a walk to look around. It has the beauty of nature that can hardly be seen in nowadays.

Later, we went to the big field in Taiping for some games. The games are fun though, especially the tug of war part. Other than that, we had "fashion show" that dressed guys into girls, and also the "blind" game. Actually. there are 2 more games but too bad, it started to rain and all of us headed back home. That's for today's event, it may sound short but it ended at 5 something in the evening.

I am happy, lalala!!!Let me see, where to go tomorrow. Hmmm... ^-^V
