the journey

To be honest i am a facts person and not a descriptive person. Just so like when i was back in high school i also favour the former over the latter.

Anyways.....some facts and descriptions today. (been wanting to blog but havent had the time)

Well, the Imago went for a holiday with mum and dad and so the poor me is on the scooter again. I think i miss my bike somehow which is now with my elder sister.

and so about the journey....

Immediately after dropping my sister i will pass the Weld Quay where the ferries are, where commuters from the island and the P.W will take on a daily basis. And there are a lot of people who stays over there and comes to work daily on the island. That makes u imagine how crowded the Island will be during the peak hours. And then I came to the Expressway and whether i have the intention or not to i will see the 13.8 km long Penang Bridge that connects the Island and the Province Wellesley with the backdrop of the Sunrise. (not mainland OK?, cus it sounds very China, The father said they still use the word P.W right until today) Whilst along the way of the expressway i there are quite a number of billboards, a few examples will be Maxis and Nokia. Another more surprising one will be this. It says...

"Flamingo, Ikan Lumba-Lumba Merah serta Suasana Romantic Senjakala Semuanya Di Singapura"

It's actually a billboard that advertises the Sentosa Island.

Then i could see Tesco, Secret Recipe and then Sushi King on my right. Right after that i will go into the Coastals Highway connecting to the F.I.Z. Gold Coast is right on my left before i could see the Bayan Bay shopping mall still under construction after 5 to 6 years of abandonment and of course it's going to be completed soon.

Then Intel Technologies stretches along the right side of the road before Agilent Technologies and then Inventec then Seagate and then SMCi electronics i think and then i will turn right into Dell Asia Pac.

I did not forget about the left side of the road cus there's nothing to see except the Jerejak Island that according to them they will Convert it to a Holiday Island. Apparently they have a SPA Resort Already.

The Jerejak Island was used to be a place where the govt used to send convicts there and this is according to my dad. But now it's free of convicts. Cus most of them are in the Penang Jail. :D

CORRECTION:
NOT Convicts BUT Tuberculosis Patients

Today is quite cooling cus it looks like it's gonna rain but i doubt so. Because "Matahari pada waktu pagi sudah Terik, apatah lagi nanti?"
