bukit bendera

Penang Hill or known as Bukit Bendera is a place that any school trip surely will not miss. I went there one time in year 2006 with a group from Klang. I am writing this not that I want to promote the place, but is just for the sake of remembering the moments. If not, why is this blog named "Moments in Life" ? I succeed another trip two weeks ago with my sisters and WL.


Ticket cost rm4 perpax and a stuffy ride spoiled all. The train comes in every 15 minutes and morning train in weekend normally full -> very x 1000 full= damn full. The time we were there, there was a school rombongan and caused the train filled by many malay school kids equals to noisy and sweaty.



While waiting for the train, we took some photos around the waiting lobby. There is this museum at the side and nobody bother to take a look at the stuff in there. Therefore we gave it a little attention and took some photos inside with the old pictures and train equipments.

These two are my sisters. I am not playing unfair to my youngest sister but this is exactly how she looks with braces on and smiles -- sweet--


The train which squeezed like fifty of people in with the symbol of Penang island in the front. This thing is super geng because it can incline and decline according to the path that we are going to. Those aunty and uncles I guessed should be staying up on the hill and make daily trip down hill to buy groceries from the Air Itam town just nearby.


A one metre fake lizard we saw from the ride. fake.


Penang island view on the surrounding from Bukit bendera. See the cloudy hill? that is bukit jambul.

Old cannon Francis Light probably used to fire the Japanese. wohoho.. I simply say one. Don't quote me please...


The ladies were claiming there was nothing to be done there. Yes, true. Do nothing and went back down hill in the stuffy train again.

We took one all girls photo there. Bad choice. Don't want be there again next time.

Too bad it was going to rain. We were trying not to wonder too far because it was cloudy. Maybe next time can try the cycling. I have another sister coming next month..
