Penang Vacation 2014 Part 1 - Street Art

I had this ambitious plan to visit all the Street Arts by Ernest Zacharevic and took pictures during the recent CNY holidays. Had to revise the plan. Payah laaa pulak kerana....si Huda tak boleh duduk senyap2. She was restless, tak nak posing and restless menunggu kitaorg posing. Ye laaaa...bukannya kita sorang je nak bergambar. Tourist2 lain pun ada. Kena la take turn. Kadang2, ada kereta lah, motor lah, beca lah, orang lah dok lalu lalang. Bila dah restless tu, mula la Huda berlari sana sini, berlari nak lintas jalan, berlari masuk kedai. Peninn. Macam mana nak bergambar?...haishh. So we had to optimize and visit the most wanted aje. Yg lain2 tu, ikut nasib je la kalau terserempak.

'Boy on a Chair/ Reaching Up'. Huda is on the mural's chair

'Skippy, the Giant Cat'

'Children on the swing'

'Children Playing Basketball'

One of the Street Art - Welded iron wall caricature

Cute :)

Not sure if this is acknowledged as Georgetown's list of Street Art.

Upside down statue?

My favourite...ngehehehee

Of course with the most well-known Street Art 'Two Children on a Bicycle' at Lebuh Armenia

Both me & husband decided to do a thorough Georgetown heritage walk one day (bile nye ni...ntaaahh lee), just the 2 of us.

Shopping time

Got discount but for limited time only. 

Recently Fundsupermart organized a free seminar and offered discounted sales charge for selected funds which participated in the seminar. Tapi those funds I do not invested in. This time around, a couple of my favourite funds are listed since depa menang The Edge-Lipper Malaysia Fund awards.

Yey! Shopping!

Ronda2@Tmn Melawati

I registered Melawati 10K run sebab nostalgia punya pasal (and sebab last year DNS...hohoho). Hampir2 DNF coz I was not feeling that well around Friday midnight. Stomach flu I think - abdominal cramps, chills, rasa macam demam, sendi sengal2. Saturday morning, badan masih rasa tak best...macam baru baik demam gitu. Nevertheless, I decided to pin up the bib & gantung the running shirt. Selalunya excited buat benda ni tapi this time tersentot sket keseronokan tu.

Sunday earrrly morning, got up to feed baby and body felt almost normal and so I decided to go ahead and take it easy during the run. Berangin2 pagi itu di Melawati. Seronok pulak nengok pokok melambai2. Organizer siap announced that they had to take down the pintu gerbang START/FINISH for safety reason.
KM3-5 was nice. It was Jalan Kolam Air, banyak pokok so sejuk dan nyaman tapi boleh tahan slope nya. Lalu laa satu mini air terjun ni. Lojik la coz Empangan Klang Gate is close by.

At KM5.7, passed by the house that we used to live in. Haisshh...rumah ni asal-usulnya a single storey corner lot. Udah jadi double storey. There was a small piece of land beside the house. I guess the current owner extended the pagar and claimed the land as his/her own. Ish..ish..ishh.

At KM6.2, lalu pulak my sekolah rendah. Sempat ambik gambar 'Selamat Datang' dari jauh je hahahaha...Rasa over la pulak kan kalau cross jalan and ber selfie2 kat depan sekolah tu. Masa ambik gambar rumah tu pun terdengar dua mamat dok berbisik hairan (apa spesel rumah ni?)...haissshh...

Me & hubby cut short the run by not taking the U-turn close to the finishing point...jahat tak? Tapiii..tak rasa bersalah pun. I was really dehydrated sampai sakit kepala nyut2 lah (air kat dua2 water station habih). Pikiaq nak carik ayaq je time tu. Ayaq liuq pun kering dah. We ran only about 8.6KM. According to hubby's niece who was also running, the whole route was about 9.5KM, so short by 0.5KM. Hmmm...last year, it was ~8.5KM due to closure of certain route for safety reason. Dah 2 tahun berturut2 ni route tak cukup nisab. 

Nasib baik seronok bernostalgia and nasib baik I decided to take it easy... Cukup la kut bernostalgia kat Melawati ni.
