Back Alley

This is a small Back alley in between two buildings. It is the so-called back lane as well. I am surprised that it is decorated with plants and also a small little taoist temple with red roof. It is the temple for (Dato Kong/ Na Tuk Kong.) His worshippers is to belief that this Malay-chinese/ Malay-muslim medium are not to be ignored or disturbed, as it has powerful influence over their daily lifes.

Money Plant?

Well, This particular plant here is named money plant... I do not know why but it's true. With the recession hitting everyone, this plant becomes a hit as well. It is believe that how fast this plant grows will reflect on your personal financial status. I wonder......

Local Band

Manage to capture our local band here playing and singing... they sing very good songs in Malay and English. It was awesome! I'll update here once I know their band name! I forgot who they are?!? Anyone knows who they are do let me know!

The Babas & Nyonyas

I have been featuring some Peranakan's buildings and stuff but not the people. So, here's a glimpse of what the original Babas and Nyonyas look like when they are wearing the traditional costumes. Well most of these petite ladies are still wearing those clothes day in and out like some Japanese wearing Kimonos. They will be wearing the "Kebaya" and "Sarong". From head to toe, attention to the details of embroideries and beads (manik); very fascinating.

The Fan Dance Performances

An open theatre for the Han Chiang High School to perform this spectacular Fan Dance Performances. It is really a chinese contemporary dance performance by the school children.

These vibrant colours flowers are for sale. Normally the flower seller with sell it for about RM1 for about 5 flowers depends on the sizes. These are flowers are used for bathing the buddha, or for prayers and cleansing the soul too.

Flower seller

I wouldn't called him a florist but a flower seller although he did manage to weave the flower garland altogether by himself. He did it quite fast though.

Penang Turf Club

Well, I guess all turf clubs look almost the same.... I really have no idea, anyways here it shows the people gathering around to see the horses and putting their bet on it! Phew... maybe I'll win some too..... :)

Hot Day!

The weather is getting hotter these days due to global warming. As you can see here, there are lots of food courts and cafes and outdoor mini bars has these kind of huge fans with sprinkling water to cool down the area. Well, so far it's better than air conditioner which only makes the world become hotter!
