It's such a long semester break for me, it is a freaking one month!
The lyrics that describes my current life the best:
"Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything"
Being a couch potato at home everyday is just OH-SO-NOT-ME!
Definitely gotta do something to make my life more efficient and packed from now!
Now, imma update you guys on my last post of Penang trip
And yes, this is the final post! I'm getting sick of updating such belated post already :(
After visited to the Toy Museum on the second day of the trip, our next destination was Penang War Museum which located @Batu Maung. History of Penang War Museum:
"Penang War Museum was erected on the original defence complex built by British early dated before World War II due to importance to protect Penang Harbour from sea attack."
"Manned by not only British soldiers, but also Malay and Sikh soldiers, Bukit Maung fell during an attack in which the Japanese army approached from inland, rather than from sea, as was expected by the British army. From that day onwards, the fortress at Bukit Maung transformed into a Japanese army base with a dark history, filled with narrations of how prisoners were tortured for information to help forward the advancement of the Japanese army into Malaya. "
"As a result, Bukit Maung, in the years following the fall of the Japanese army in 1945, the locals in the area kept well away of Bukit Maung for fear of its reputation as a place of hauntings by ghosts of dead soldiers."
There were many stations in the War Museum. We had to overcome the 'challenges' in order to reach the next station.

Trespassing this underground tunnel was the most horrible moment for us. This tunnel used to be the storage for highly explosive ammunitions. It was pitch-dark in the tunnel which made us even feared. Eventually we relied on the dim light of our cell phones to find the way out of the tunnel.
If you are an adventurous type person, you are encouraged to participate in the night tour activities provided at War Museum.
The crew at the War Museum sprayed lemongrass oil on our body as mosquito repellent because the environment was humid after the rain. Beware of the insects too! This tiny snake almost dropped on Elaine's head X_X
Next destination, dinner @ Thai Food, Bukit Genting Hill.
Just look at the breathtaking scenery from the hill, nothing could be more charming than this occasion.
And of course, my all time favorite Thai dish!!!
Green curry chicken and fried mixed vegetables.
For those who couldn't get used to the taste of basil, the green curry chicken wouldn't be recommended.
