July 7th was Penang's Heritage Day and also Penangites celebrating the Georgetown festival from 15th June to 15th July. It was a month long celebration showcasing the cultural heritage and the living of Penang.
On Fri evening, after picking Emeryn from daycare we headed to Prangin Mall to shop for a tablet, Ainol Novo 7 Tornado. It's gonna be a birthday gift to Emeryn from mummy's friend. After surveying the price and its spec, we had our dinner at the infamous tom yam stall. Before heading home, we drove around to look for all the wall murals. Emeryn gotten very excited seeing those murals. We found all of them before dropping at Por Por's house to pass the camera to ah Kong.
We had our breakfast at home before going out for lunch on Sat noon. We spent the afternoon at home before going out at 4pm. We picked Aunty SuChing and You Ying at QEII and we headed over to our first destination, Chew Jetty. Aunty Mei and Flo were late, so we started our heritage stroll before they join us later. Chew Jetty, an old Chinese waterfront settlement, is the largest and most lively jetty at the end of Gat Lebuh Armenian. We snapped many photo of the mural at the village. It was drawn by the famous artist, Ernest Zacharevic. The scenery was breath taking.
We then proceeded to Armenian Street where Aunty Mei & Flo joined us. We visited the Rescube and also the next mural featuring a little girl and boy riding on a bicycle. We continued with our heritage stroll passing by some heritage look-alike restaurant, shops selling art & craft and other paintings. We then came across the next mural featuring a boy trying to get hold of something by reaching the window. Our last mural photo shoot was a man riding on a motorbike and a little boy playing with a flying kite. Though it was a short stroll, we were sweating under the sun. It was a real historic stroll and we could finally see Penang from a different angle. We didn't managed to go for a trishaw stroll. We decided to stopped and went for dinner.
We went to Chai Diam Ma. Chai Diam Ma means ‘little sundry shop’ in Hokkien, the lingua franca of Penang. The shop is peppered with knick knacks from top to bottom. Most furnitures were rescued from being dumped into landfills and were given a coat of paint or adored with drawings. It was a real unique experience being able to dine there especially showing the young kids the real culture behind. Before our food were served, we snapped some photo and enjoyed the surrounding and its decoration.
After dinner, Emeryn followed Aunty Mei's car while mummy went to pick Aunty Jenny, Hui Ying and Hui Siang, where we went for a happy hour at Bossa Vino. The kids played among themselves whereas the mommies enjoyed their drinks and chat at the other segment. We left at about 10pm and dropped Aunty SuChing, Aunty Jenny and the kids home. Emeryn fell asleep on our way home.
