We Love Penang !

Assalamualaikum wr wb

Apa kabar kau dan aku? sehat dan bahagia selalu ya.

Postingan ini buat ngelanjutkan cerita dari nebeng ikut Buya Umik berobat di Penang. Kemarin sampai di Penang hari kamis *lupa tanggal berapa, tiket pulang Buya Umik Medan Penang itu Sabtu jam 16.00, tapi mendadak ada jadwal flightnya dipercepat sehingga jadilah Buya Umik berangkat ke bandara pukul 09.00. Bunden said, “Rida, Its time for us to do explore Penang!”  Yuhuuuuu! I couldnt agree more! , pekikku!

Hari kamis dan Jumat, kami ber empat nginep di hotel Oriental, George Town. Ini hotel merupakan favorit Buyaku. Kenapa? Karena ada masjid sekaligus markas Jamaah Tabligh di belakang hotel. Selain itu, nasi kandar line yang terkenal seantero Penang juga dekat banget tinggal jalan kaki. Favorit si Umik juga karena dekat dengan Mydin, one of the biggest supermarket in Malaysia. Ah. Strategis dan kece emang lokasinya. Thats why, if you visit this city, Its a must to stay at George Town, The world heritage of Penang. Yesterday, we took family room at Hotel  and cost about 140 RM/night .This family room contain 2 single bed ,one double bed, free wifi and private shower dong yes. Although this room is only for 4 people, but my family has ever stayed in that room with 4 adults and 3 kids within it! HAHA!. So if you come with at least 3 people and feel happy to share room with them, dont never ever missed this hotel! It’s very affordable, isnt it?!

Okey, berhubung Buya Umik mau checkout, maka aku dan bunden sepakat untuk pindah ke hotel yang lebih murah to save money! Aku dan bunden emang sehati deh! Dengan syarat lokasi harus di sekitar Hotel Oriental dong untuk menghindari kerempongan bawa koper buat pindah. Setelah kepoin beberapa hotel, akhirnya aku dan bunden nemu hotel yang cuma 60 RM/hari dan bisa buat 2 orang. Dont compare it with Oriental Hotel yaak. Ada uang ada barang. You know that. But, its worth kok buat numpang tidur doang semaleman, :”))

Berhubung beberapa destinasi wisata yang akan kami kunjungi dalam 1 hari, maka pilihan untuk rent a motorcycle adalah tepat! Dengan tarif 35 RM/hari, a matic motorcycle suddenly be our best friend! And here we go!

1.      Penang Hill

Dont ask me about the direction to go here. In our journey, I asked to more than 5 people just to make sure we were in the right way! Overall, the route was pretty easy, all you need was just to find where is komtar then Asked people! Haha. Its location only 6 km from George Town. If you dont rent a motorbike, you can simply hop on to bus xx. When we arrived *free parking, its very different with Indonesia –“ , We shocked with the crazy queue! And realize that, oh, its Saturday! Wajaar lah yaa coy. Actually, you can hiking to reach out the highest point. Unfortunately, it seems  not a good idea for us! then the Penang Hill Railways was flirting us unhesitatingly. We decided to buy this ticket. The fare for non Malaysian is 30 RM for adult and 15 RM for children. Iseng, aku tunjukin deh KTM UGM, kali aja dapat diskon pikirku. Later, it was surprising me! I got 50% discount! Oh Allah, How do i love the power of being a student! And this place is totally recomended for you guys! Sensasi naik keretanya itu loh menakjubkan! you can reach the top in as little as five minutes! Supeb cool!

gembok cinta ala-ala

I should be here with my soulmate --"

2.      Penang Botanical Garden

After having fun in Penang Hill, we continued our journey to Penang Botanical Garden, *still with our matic. Its also called as The waterfall gardens. Dont ask me how to get there *yaiyaah wong sepanjang perjalanan kami nanya mulu.The good things about this cute garden is free admission! Unfortunately, Bunden was so tired and she told me “kak, sama aja nya ini kayak kebun raya Bogor, Bunden males masuk dan males jalan kaki, kita gak usah masuk aja yaa” Aku : Oh Mak!  --“, yaudah deh, kami cuma nampang poto aja di depan nya.  Later i found that this garden is magnificent with a huge variety of indigenous and exotic plant species. Okay. Penyesalan selalu datang terlambat

3.      Penang Interactive Museum

One thing that I love about get loss in anywhere is found your self drown to the surprise coincidental! We just found this museum when we decided to enjoy our first sunset in Penang. But suddenly, the heavy rain forced us to changed our plan.  It was regrettably! When we stop our bike to wear our raincoat, we found this museum! Ahaaa! Kataku. Bunden, its seem a good idea! Ternyata pemikiranku gak salah. Once again, KTM jadi jimat yang jitu!. Tips masuk ke sini : Go with your friends, It was so difficult to take a selfie with so many loveable wall creation !

4.      Traditional market

Tipikal turis Indonesia, pantang pulang dari liburan tanpa bawa oleh-oleh. Based on that, after enjoying our time in Penang Interactive Museum, bunden asked me to accompany her to go to traditional market around Mydin shopping centre George Town, It was so close to our hotel. It was the right place to hunting some souvenirs! The price are so cheap and you can bargain it! Tapi emang gak bisa nawar banyak-banyak sih. Soalnya emang mereka pasang harga gak tipu – tipu. Haha. I bought some key ring and a tatto bag for myself. Enough. Then bunden bought couple T-shirt and key ring. Setelah lelah. Kami balik ke hotel.

Thankyou Penang for todaaaay! You were so great! Love you!
