Bukit Genting - one

I feel so ashamed of myself. Even though I am a lawfully Penangite, never have I heard of a place called Bukit Genting until a few days ago. But somehow, I felt relieved that I wasn't the only Penangite who was unaware about the existence of the hill. I had actually told Lynette about it and she thought that it was another place to hike, just like Penang Hill.

So, what is this place actually? Simply put, the hill houses a Thai restaurant and the view from here is purely eye-catching and amazing. If Hong Kong has its own Peak Hill, then this will be our very own Genting Hill (mind that it's not Genting Highlands!).


We will have to thank CK for buying us dinner on top of the hill as part of his birthday celebration. Here are some of the pictures that we took before the sun eventually sets.

The moment we saw the buffalo, Jo was so eager to climb over it and snap a picture. I too, wanted to get on top of it but somehow, I believe I might hurt the poor buffalo and break his bones. Therefore, I decided to just lean on its body.

Here we are again, posing out of randomness.

The place is so amazing that we just can't stop snapping pictures everywhere we passed.

Yes, even along the stairs.

Not to forget this spot which I believe hold a significance to many people.

Just take a look at the backdrop. If only I have the money to buy up this place and name it as Fernie Hill. LOL. All right, I know that it is still too early to dream.

Kindly ignore the backdrop. We're the center of attention here.

I don't know why we had posed like this but I do believe that the dark blue sky sure caught our fancy, especially Irene's. She looked remarkably cheerful, agree?

Okay, the view was so amazing that it had tempted us to try the 'Jack and Rose' trademark pose in Titanic.

Yeah, we know we look awfully silly in this picture.

This hill had such a wide variety of attractions for us to try. Deciding to make full use of our time there, we also climbed up the stairs just to get into the helicopter.

However, there was no way we can get a clear shot from the ground. So, CK braved himself to climb up this two-metre high structure in order to snap both of us inside the chopper.

But, he soon realized that the iPhone did not contain the focus function and that his effort was afterall, futile. Fortunately, I had my phone with me and so, we could still snap a picture inside the chopper.
