Was in Penang over the weekend.
Went to the St. Anne's church in Bukit Mertajam.
To give thanks for not dying because of the whole dengue episode.
Beautiful isn't it?
And then we went to the island itself.
And so began my hunt for street art.
Have been seeing sooooo many pictures online about paintings by that Lithuanian guy around town and I was dying to see them all for myself and snap some pictures so dad and I set off in the afternoon and I have to say I really don't care how much my skin colour has changed I'm just so happy I got to take my pictures.
This was the first painting I saw as dad and I started walking. All that bubbling excitement. I simply can't explain it lol.
This was drawn. All drawn.
The famous kids on a bicycle painting.
Spotted this Charlie Chaplin painting, the Elvis one and Marilyn Monroe one as we were driving past. Made dad stop the car at the side of the road as I quickly ran across to snap the pictures lol
This was along Muntri Street where the Muntri Mews is also located.
Too cute to ignore lol.
And then there were these artsy fartsy stuff made out of metal or iron or something with little bits of historical information. Very, very interesting concept. Wish they did the same thing here in Ipoh.
Noticed the shoes? :P
This was kinda like an antique shop of some sorts.
Spotted this as we were driving back from this Nasi Beratur place (SO NOT MY THING OMG) and it's so cleverly painted. That too in a spot where the street light shines directly on it at night so you can't miss it.
This was along Pantai Street if I'm not mistaken. We passed it by after going to the Esplanade (or something) and I just had to take a picture of the street with those lights. Just look at it! 
Another thing I absolutely love is how well they've preserved all these old buildings in town.
So many hole-in-the-wall cafes everywhere!
They've given the shops a new coat of paint and they look so good.
Wood work. Dad and I couldn't stop admiring all the wood work on the doors.
Random street shots.
Chinese temple. Took this as we were in the car at a traffic light.
What's a visit to Penang without a nice hot bowl of laksa.
And a hearty serving of the ever famous Penang Road cendol especially on a hot, hot day.
Spotted in one of the cafes as they were closing.
This guy was doing some photoshoot along Armenian Street. Asked the photographer if I could have a shot and voila!
Some of the pictures are of low clarity coz I took them with my phone and with dad's phone. Didn't bring my IXUS back from JB so I had no choice but to use our new Nikon Coolpix one and I have to say. Once you've had a taste of the best, anything else just doesn't cut it.
Overall a very short yet very sweet trip.
