Hatyai

Seriously I missed Hatyai~!

1 day trip at Hatyai is seriously not enough for first time visitor like me. I don't really like shopping although people usually go there for shopping due to the cheap items. Instead, I prefer walking around alone with my camera, capturing wonderful moments and interesting subjects around.

Presenting picture is the street in front of the hotel, near the Central Mall and Lee Garden. Peaceful sky with busy road (the moment I took the picture, there were no cars! )

Flower on the tomb

This is a flower which I picked up from the ground and placed it on a tombstone.

I was told that this flower named Frangipani, commonly found in cemetery. From my father, he said Bunga Kemboja, usually the Malays planted this at the cemetery.

I took this picture at Protestant Cemetery in Georgetown Penang where in this cemetery, many great men in the past were buried. They are Captain Francis Light, the founder of Penang island, Reverend Hutchings, the founder of Penang Free School, and many more.

This land shall be preserved eternally in remembrance of the early settlers who contributed a lot in development of Penang.

Penang Air Itam Dam

Air Itam Dam, originally uploaded by stareternity.

Let me introduce you another nice place in Penang - the Air Itam Dam.

This dam was built for 4 years and it was completed at the year 1962. Officiated by the first governor of Penang, TYT Raja Tun Uda at 8th December 1962.

There is a path circulating the dam, which now most people jog and cycling along the path. Situated at the top of Kek Lok Si temple, however couldn't have a view of the temple from here. Instead, a spectacular view of the Georgetown can be seen.

This dam provides drinking water for Penangnites besides the dam in Teluk Bahang and Mengkuang Bukit Mertajam.
