Touring Penang

For those who didn't know that I am back in Penang already, I am telling you now that I am back in Penang! It may be a little late for me to tell you now since I will be leaving Penang in 4 more days. But, as the saying goes: better late than never!

This semester break, the experience has been a little different. Overall, I had the pleasure of taking three different groups of friends to tour Penang. Firstly, it was housemates and university friends, the "4.30am Melaka people" and thirdly, SGM Educator Group members from Johor.

Perhaps, growing up in Penang makes some Penangites like me to take for granted the unique values of Penang. This time, it has been an eye opening experience for me to really look back and appreciate my hometown. Penang is the place where I was born and educated. It is here where I grow and Penang would be part and parcel that forms my personality. It is also here where I was well-fed with great food!

To describe how deep Penang is to my heart, I would rewrite this phrase that I have posted on Facebook before: 

"While many people (especially politicians) are still thinking whether to declare themselves a Malaysian first or not, I shall declare this: I am a Penangite first. 
And that does not make me less Malaysian nor less Chinese.
