Let me clarify something before I start to ramble off like a madman :razz: do you still remember this photo?
Well that’s food for 3 people! My two cousins and I. We went to Taman Sri Rambai’s Al-Fresco Foodcourt to get an authentic taste of Penang food. More food that were served after the photo was taken, but this photo is by far the clearest one – my hands were shaking from hunger since I starved myself for the afternoon just to reserve enough space for all that delicious yummylicious food.
The list of food, from the 12 o’clock position, clockwise and inwards – fried oysters with egg, char koay katt, chee cheong fun, handmande noodles, squid with kangkung and fried chicken. Oh and we still savoured curry noodles, jawa noodles and hokkien noodles (there’s a helluva noodle stalls over there anyway!).
My penang stay is coming to an end! Awwwwww. Will be leaving for KL on Sunday, with my cousin. She’s studying at Taylor’s College, and her hostel is just a 5 minute walk away from my home. So I can go hang around with her almost everyday, unless she’s busy or something. We’re planning to go to some pub or something (we’re both 18!)… just tentative though.
Anyway I’ve found this interesting little spider on the wall outside my cousin’s home. The spider looks as if it’s preparing to fight me or something, lol :mrgreen: have a look!
It’s actually very small, about 2mm across perhaps? I’ve used my macro shot mode, for your information. Look at those scary hairy legs of his! And his mouth! Ewwww. But it’s still quite cute afterall. just hope that it’s not poisonous or something.
My cousins and I also went to a playground, just for a normal evening walk. But when I told them I brought my camera and tripod along, they were screaming at me to get some photoshoots of us done, hah! :) it was fun though, posing with all the playground stuff.
I have a few more photos though, but yea I guess this post is long enough to make you sleep :) hah! Will update soon, so stay tuned!
Edit: Oh boy, I nearly forgot to write my tag replies! They’re so many of them I can’t possibly do it in the tagboard. Here we go:

PeiHau: You’re welcome!
OMG, I love that Kungfu Spider shot! It’s nice! =D I miss the macro mode of my point and shoot.. Hehe. =D
And what’s with all the comments? LoL. Either it’s a joke from your friends, or someone trying to gain some traffic to their pathetic blogs? =p
Btw, it’s a small tripod?
and hey, I take back my words, didn’t read what hyper barrier wrote, =) Sorry dude.
All that food looks so good. I was out of Singapore also during the holidays, so it made me re-appreciate the food here when I returned! =)
Is that teh o peng on the side? AHHHH I WANT SOME!!! The chee cheong fun looks pretty good too. And I’m glad I’m 10,000 miles away from that rojak. I really don’t like rojak.
But anyways, you know what I miss most about Malaysian food? ASAM LAKSA! Ahh tooo good.
ingSiang: Thanks for the compliment. Judging from your comment, does it mean that dSLRs do not have macro mode anymore? If it really is, that’s an aweful waste! Anyway those comments are posted by the same flamer. Read my recent update for details, if you have time.
Marz: Haha yea Penang food is really nice! And I don’t get tired eating them everyday. Singapore food is equally nice, glad that you’re not willing to miss out a single bit of its taste even when you’re away!
Ivy: Yea it’s teh-o peng on the left… it’s my favourite drink so far, I’ve ditched my milo-o peng for it :) Chee Cheong Fun is my favourite, back in my home I have it almost everyday for breakfast. Assam Laksa is divine! Too bad the food court we went doesn’t have any stall selling that :( awww!
Yeap, you need special lens, namely macro lens, to get close enough, but well, those are very expensive, and they deliver superb result. You can also get macro by adding close-up filters to the kit lens, since the original kit lens can focus quite close, so yea, =D
you know once, i tried taking a macro shot of a spider, but when i finally focus on it nicely, the spider descend and it scared the shit out of me LOL.
Great macro shot on the kung fu spider! Frankly I’ve never seen such spider before…
