A trip up Penang Hill Day 2.

7:16 AM |

Day 2 in Penang. I have decide to visit a place which is Baby friendly! After much consideration i selected Penang Hill. I am sure Emma will love the cold weather, nice scenery and enjoy the flora and fauna.

As usual i will take this oppurtunity to test out my new Olympus OM-D. Alot of people complain about the ergonomics and on the contrary i kinda of this the ergonomic is good.! In fact just perfect for my small hand. The light weight certainly help my new parents like me when i have to carry a papa bag and the camera bag as well.

I did carry the Olympus 45mm f1.8 with me but i find it most of the time i will use the kit lens 12-50mm. The kit lens is certainly a versatile lens with its wide focal length, from wide angle to medium tele range.

1.0 This is where it all begin. Penang Hill Cable car ride at Ayer Itam.

2.0 The cable car..is fast like a sport car. Expect a speedy ride. My initial impression of a slow and steady enjoyable ride is devastated when the cable car just rush uphill like a sport car on steroid.. i prefer the old and steady way..

3.0 The ticket i think cost rm8 for local.

4.0 A walk to the calbe departure area.

5.0 Phew my bb finally reach the top...I think she is a lil bit confuse.

6.0 Climb Penang hill project?

7.0 This is my first macro with OM-D and 12-50 mm lens in macro mode.. Not bad for an all rounder walkabout lens...

8.0 Another macro using the kit lens..damn this lens is good and versatile

9.0 My baby is active.. After all how often you can play on top of a cannon!

10.0 This post box stand is very old. Most probablu Mr Bean has one in his house too!

11.0 Carnivourous plant..dont put your finger in it..it will bite!! nah just kidding...

12.0 This is Bunga Raya, Malaysia national flower which is kinda of rare in Malaysia.. I hardly see one nowadays..

13.0 This is the view from one of the restaurant of top of the hill. It is based on English theme kind of Restaurant. Where you can have a cup of tea and enjoy the scenery.

14.0 Emma enjoying the scenery! Actually she is staring at all those flying birds.!

15.0 Bumble Bee

Penang Day 1 Casual Walkabout

11:36 AM |

iso6400 23m f5 1/25sec

It was already very late at 9-10pm after my dinner...So me and my 2 bb stroll along Jalan Burma in search of more nice food..however our mission fail because on sunday a lot of stall is closed! However i manage to test my new Olympus OM-D camera..yeah time for high iso test..!! Surprisingly ISO 6400 is very usable compare to my Olympus EP2 and E3. Well how can i compare them cause the technology is years apart..But what is worth mentioning here is OM-D allow m43 and 43 users to experience shooting at high ISO where previously this is a taboo or forbidden area for 43 or m43 users~!

I reach Heritage Hotel at Jalan Burma around 6pm..First thing i do is to hunt for food withing the walking distance~! I manage to find one restaurant with foreign worker selling prawn mee. I think he is a Burmese. Anyway i just give it a try and wtf..it was surprisingly good and freaking cheap..It just cost me rm2...yes RM2!!!!! But dont expect big prawn in it due to the price tag...
