My brother said to me for my case, going to Gym is like him going to KLIA. But tell you all one thing, it has alot more to offer. Just read more.
Ok ok.. time for Gym in Penang. My sister said since I took up yoga, I look younger. Dunno true or not. But it never stop from getting fit even it's 50km away.
The moment I am out from Kulim, ta lah... pay pay... here. RM1.30

Cross the the border from Kedah to Penang.

If you still remember, Kedah used to be the place growing rice. The land is flat. This the first that fascinated the most when I touch down Penang on the way to for interview. Looks pretty amazing as it looks exactly like the Malaysian Kind of Story of Kampung Life.

Pay RM1.30 for the second from Kulim <-> Butterworth Highway (BKE).

Get to by pass Mc Donald's at the Caltex Gas Station open 24 hours. If your preffer KFC, just hoop to Petronas next to it.

Get to by pass another toll that soon to complete. No idea how much it cost us again. You see we pay for the tax that is not less from what we can afford and yet we still get to pay for road after paying for road tax & salary tax. I prefer not have highway give me better reason to drive slow or late for work. Hehe.
Get to see weird traffic lights. Which will you follow if one of it turn green?

Ok.. now I am in Butterworth. Crossing the next traffice light will take me to the ferry terminal.

Of course before taking the ferry service, must pay first. RM7.70 for return trip.

If you very been to Denmark from Germany, taking a ferry like that this can cost as much as 40 euro. That is about RM170 per trip. For Malaysia, it's the cheap that can offer. Only RM3.85 per trip. Haha... well Malaysian just always wanted get things for free always.
This is the ferry master. All the car Q up. He is the one to let with car to go first. Of course first come first serve. Eh look at the Kancil... it looks like the one we used to have.
Now I am the top deck of the ferry terminal. See the blue ferry? It just approaches. So got to go.

Now the ferry looks much nicer & clean. But of course comes with some commercials as well. If you can remember from your Geography test book, the Penang Ferry is Orange. Still can see them..but not too many left.


Get to park my car first in the row. As nowadays, the ferry service has 2 types. One with passengers on the second deck and the other for cars on the second deck. I think I get lucky or not, this is a newer ferry that has both decks for cars. This first on to get into the ferry but the ride took me 45 minutes (usual only 30 mintues). Why? Let me try to figure out.. the ferry terminal only has one with the ramp built for cars from the second deck. So we going to Q up for unloading instead.
The best view can see in Butterworth. I wonder why it called this way. How much does the butter worth in Butterworth? The high rise building vs a kampung village.
Watching Kampung kids fishing.

Also kids making sand castle? Hehe.. I bet what kind of sand castle can the malay kid built. The Hang Tuah wooden type. Joking.. : )

Get the best view on the top deck of the ferry and get to see Star Cruise.

Watching this family show me their back side.

Taking the road again by the sea heading to Gurney Drive

Finally, I am in Gurney Drive. Amber Chia the hot model is waiting. For the rest of the work out, sorry no pictures. I don't think it's really good for my handsome guy like me taking pictures in the guys. It certainly spoil my reputation!
