In the past, Chingay parade was part of deity's birthday celebration agendas, big flag carrying is the speciality for the procession. Albeit Chingay was originated from China but it was revolutionised and developed into a stunning performance, even can considered as a sport in Penang because the state government organises Chingay Championship every year.
Chingay no more belongs to Chinese purely but other races especially the indian also participated the procession and performed a great show in flag carrying stunt. Of course, that not more related to religion but one of the tourist program in Penang. In fact, many years ago Chingay almost broke up the linkage with religion before local government step in. Personally, I take it as one of the island festival.

Pantai Kerachut Trail
Today weather is really bad, nevertheless we took 1.10 hour to reach at first destination - Pantai Kerachut, where located inside Penang National Park, about 3 Km from the entrance. However, we surrender to bad weather and gave up Pantai Kampi though we almost half way to the place. Pantai Kampi is about 4.5 Km from the National Park entrance.
Luckily, one of my teammate asked to turn back, wow! so grateful! Quite tired and the path is slippy, muddy and the ramp is very slanting. My glasses was blurr due to streaming rain run over my glasses, almost half blind, anyhow we all securely retreat back to safety zone - Pantai Kerachut.
Regretfully, I can't shoot more photo for sharing, just few before water pouring, I think I will arrange one more trip but for photo shooting so the walking speed is not a concern. (I quite satisfy with the record 1.10 hr, hee....... ^_^)
Nowadays, the weather no more follow the 'schedule', it should be less raining in December, I think the change could attribute to green house effect. This is our responsibility to take care our environment else the 'day after tomorrow' will somewhere around the corner.

南天门
南天门,一个我以为老早就被发展商铲平掉的地表,肆意的发展已把Tanjung Bungah至Batu Ferrenghi 一带弄得面目全非。今日故地重游既然走错路,果然是面目全非!!
在这小岛,瀑布是难得一见,没了真有点可惜!希望新政府不要像前朝那般无良。。。。
别小看这个小瀑布,十年前有三人被洪水灭顶,所以大雨过后千万别去有瀑布或河流旁边,一般上,是没有什么迹象,来得非常快。
