To Butterworth

26th Feb 2011
Today is the 1st time I am taking bus alone to jetty. When I was waiting bus at the bus stop outside hostel (Bukit Gambir), a Malay girl (USM student) was asking me whether the bus stop there will have bus going to jetty. I told her this is my first time took bus to jetty as well. Hahahah...

After a while, another malay girl (USM student as well) is coming and sitting beside me. So I was sitting in the middle of the two malay girls. Then I was asking the malay girl that just came for the rapid penang price jetty and where is she going. I found out she is going to jetty as well. I was so happy. Then I told the 1st malay girl that from the bus stop can go jetty and the bus ticket price is RM2.

When the bus is coming, I was sitting next to the 2nd malay girl. Then I will not be lost. It is quite long to jetty. I sat in bus around 30min already. After passing by Komtar and Prangin Mall, then next station is the jetty.

I was asking and following to the jetty. She is quite friendly and bring me walked to the jetty to take ferry. While waiting for the ferry, she asked me whether is 1st year student. I felt quite happy in heart because has people said me looked younger. Then I answered yes I was 1st year but is 1st year of master.

After few minutes, the ferry is coming. Then I was not walked and sat with her when in ferry after I asked her how long will arrive butterworth. I was taking photos of the scenery so I cannot sit quietly with her. For the place that I will have been for the 1st time, I will snap photos.

Before going down to the ferry, I said thanks to her and I walked myself followed the crowd. Firstly, I was going to buy bus ticket for going back my hometown on next Sat. After that I suddenly felt if I am just coming Butterworth and bought bus ticket and went back like wasted. Then I was taking the rapid Penang to Megamall Prai.

This is the 1st time I am going to Megamall Prai with directionless. Then I heard a woman said she want go down nearby Pacific (Megamall). So I choose to sit beside her. When the bus suddenly stop at a place and many people are going down. I felt it seems like already arrived but I can't see the building of Megamall yet. Then I asked the woman just and she said that is the stop for Megamall. So I quickly go down and walked follow the crowd. Finally I was going to the Megamall. But it is not as nicer as what am I imagine.

I already felt hungry when arrived Megamall but there seems like do not have any special foods to eat in the Megamall. Therefore, I decided to have McD for my lunch. After that I was walking around.

Around 4pm, I was walking to the place I stopped to take bus back to jetty again. Then I was took ferry back to Penang Island. Even it is not so special. But it is a meaningful day for me. I have explored the Butterworth myself for the 1st and I was enjoyed by taking ferry.
