190

Having been to Penang for ample times, I am embarrassed to admit that I have no clue about Pulau Jerajak when I was first told of the place. Assigned to the island for a 4-day work, I had zero clues on what to expect. All I was told, was:

1. Need to take the ferry to the working place.
2. Island no line reception.
3. Work from day to night.

You could probably the amount of negative energy I was bringing with me, on Day One.

My means of transport 

Despite the bad line reception, my Digi was totally off as soon as I entered into their office, and only my Celcom was working, I was thankful that the shipyard is a small one. Most of my seniors were given Digi lines as their business lines, but I was one of the few ones using Celcom, so they had to borrow my line to send out emails. Celcom really works in remote places - proven! Having to work in a small ship yard means I don't have to walk a long distance to reach the site from the office. It's not that I dislike walking, but try having to clad on thick coveralls under the heat and rain. Sometimes I just want to hide in the smoking huts.

Also having ferries as our means of transport, means we have a fixed schedule to reach/leave the island. So, for this trip, my seniors tried to make it less difficult for me, so we left the island mostly by 12pm. And managed to visit several local hotspots in Penang.

Kek Lok Si Temple

It's definitely not my first time climbing up to Kek Lok Si, but usually I stop midway. Due to the eagerness of my senior colleagues, we ended up exploring every crook and cranny of the place, and having to see the entire Penang Island from view from atop. Also managed to patron Batu Ferrenghi (probably some may have seen pictures I've posted on Facebook)

So this working trip turned out more of a get-away..WHICH ALL OF US ARE IN NEED OF!

Combination of my favourite snacks!

By the way, what's up with Tunes Hotel?

Every single thing has to be prepaid, even the aircond?
Well, I have heard about it before, but really experiencing it myself, is another thing altogether.
Probably not going to return there, if I am going for another business trip.
