Penang

So... My weekend wasn't that great. Penang was okay, but I came down with a sore throat, flu, and slight fever the day before I got to Penang, so that kind of got me down. I also didn't get to meet and interview anyone, as I was supposed to. Everyone was too busy, so I pretty much just went around on my own and took pictures of some historic sites and heritage buildings, etc. Here are just a few pictures.

The Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion. I thought it was like really famous but when I couldn't find it and asked around, so many people didn't know where it was. But the tour was really interesting, well worth the RM 10.

The Meeting Hall at Khoo Kong Si.

The Khoo Kong Si temple, which used to be a clanhouse. Amazing stuff. I have tons of interior shots; too many to put up.

I'm feeling pretty excited about my first nail art class tomorrow morning. Granted, I have to wake up at 9.30am on a day that I don't have to go to college, but what the hell. I think I'm really going to enjoy taking this class.

I went to the chiropractor today and saw the X-Rays that I took last week.. My backbone is curved and so is my neck.. Or something like that. Bottomline is, I've got to get it corrected or it'll get worse. He says that I need to go for treatment 3 times a week, for 6 months. Each visit is about RM 80. I'm just.. stunned. That is so much money. I can't believe I have to make my father fork out so much just to correct my bloody backbone. *sigh*

Tons of work to do this week. 1:20 scale detailed model, lots of reading for thesis, and a 3-page dialogue. Also haven't gone to the gym in a while, and have to schedule my stupid facial soon. Oh, and also have to return library books. So troublesome.

    As always, nice shots of architectural designs of building. Also take care of yourself with the flu. It's one of those that I seriously avoid during this season.
