A day at the beach

I think people are getting tired of me yapping and yapping about Penang, well….I don’t care haha….I’ll still talk about Penang, ferringhi beach to be more precise.
I went to the beach today, there was this particular place that I wanted to check out when I was driving to ferringhi the other day. The sign says Water sports rental. So today, my adventurous nature was particularly strong, I went to explore the place, by foot. Yes, I walked to the beach which was a good 3-4KM away from my house, at 2.30PM, when the sun’s at its full might. I do really strange stuff when I’m bored.
























I love water sports, this sign sure attracted me

The road to the place was narrow and winding, there’s no pedestrian path on walk on, you know la mountain road ma, it was kinda scary with cars zooming by you at such near distance, but by foot, you’d be able to “see” more things, every tree, every house, every monkey.
























not much space for me to walk
























monkey business

I can’t remember how long it took for me to reach there, but eventually I did. To my disappointment, the place was empty and I didn’t see a single person there, there were a lot of kayaks though but just nobody there, I reckon nobody goes to the beach at such hour.



















empty place, not a single soul



















alot of kayak though

So I walked further up to the northern side of Penang, and reached a public beach area, on the way I notice a lot of abandoned house, I was later told by a makcik selling food that her house was one of it, and was destroyed by the tsunami. They are now living in a temporary house nearby while the government is building an apartment for all the victims of tsunami.



















*tsunami was here* you'd see the remains of house beams

I got down to the beach, got myself in the water, walking around, see people paktoh, mushy mushy couples “hugging and playing” in the water.
Actually I enjoyed myself today, exploring the place, there were some spectacular views and due to my superb photo taking skills, the view didn’t seem that great on pictures but in fact they really are.
I’ll try to go back to the sports recreational centre and see if I could rent a kayak or something, they’ve got so many nice kayaks sure got people go one. Meanwhile enjoy the photos.
