During sem break!!

My friends from TAR college have finally visited me on the last week of sem break!! HAHa!! Actually there were 10 of them but 1 of them(vicky) is not allowed to come. This is due to one case of H1N1 disease has been reported in penang. But don't feel bad, u still got many chances to visit penang!! hehe!! Since i m nt familiar with penang, my frens and my cousins helped me a lot in planning and leading this trip!! *Thanks so much* First day of trip, we went to Fort Cornwallis 1786 which is known as the first military and administrative base of the East India Company. The admission fee is only Rm3. We took a lot of photos there especially photo with horses. Haha!! We even took photo with the guard who dressed in British formal attire. We have a great time snapping photos there even though it is a hot day! After that, we went to Teluk Bahang Dam to see sunset. Unfortunately, we missed this opportunity because it is too late when we reached there. =.= so sad.. After that, we have our dinner in Jail Restaurant(Obake-ya) which is located just behind of our hotel.. strategic right? haha!! The designs of the restaurant is quite special and nice. It is all about jail.. The food is also not bad. The next day, we went to batu feringgi. There are a lot of activities available including water and land activities for eg, banana boat, speed boat, horse riding, ... etc. We just managed to play banana boat and speed boat. Haha!! If you are interested in these activities, you should negotiate with the person in charged in order for you to get a reasonable price. At first, we asked one of them for the price per person for banana boat and he offered us Rm20 per person. Since there are different groups of people offering the same water activities, we decided to ask another person in charged and he offered us Rm10 which is half of the first offered price. So, don't make a rash decision!! hehe!! I really had a great time in Batu Ferringgi.. Besides that, riding speed boat on my own is also my first time experience!! It is really fun!! Don't be hesitated to give it a try if you are given the chance to... hehe!! ^^
