Since I’ve already got my birthday pressie, I decided to test it out and document my morning walk route. This isn’t going to win any Pulitzers but you never know. For the curious among you, I got myself a Canon Powershot SX120IS, a new 10-megapixel camera with 10X optical zoom, 3” viewfinder, etc. Looks like they’ve thrown even the kitchen sink in. I’ll be posting a review of this wonderful camera in a later post.
Walking out of my apartment. The government builds wide roads, and what do these locals do? They park on both sides, that’s what.
This is where I start my morning walk. This road is rather free of traffic, except for the occasional car. Today appears to be another dull and hazy day, but the morning air is still fresh.
Here’s a picture of Malaysia’s national flower, the Hibiscus.
Walking up north from my apartment. There’s a gradient increase of 20°or so. And yes, there are just too many high-rise apartments. Penang is an island, so nowhere to go but up, I suppose.
Walking south back to my apartment. It looks like a massive spaceship, doesn’t it. You can just about see the pyramid at the top, no Sphinx though.
Some nice foliage here.
I love this part of the walk because it’s extra cool in this stretch and the air’s fresh.
Another shot of the lovely greenery. Some people say that looking at green foliage is good for the eyes. Well it can’t hurt for me to try.
The road loops around, and pretty soon I’m walking back to my apartment, as you can see in my next picture.
Yup, I live in B-Block.
Just waiting for October when I’ll be able to dive back into the pool!
