like a tourist




Gurney Plaza




Plaza Gurney
Walked in to see
From the leisurely walking
Now the cool air-conditioned ambience

It was a reprieve from the hot sun
Window shopping at the many outlets
There weren't many shoppers around
Maybe it was on a weekday......

Spent hours windows browsing
Looking for inspiration on decorations
Ideas to keep in view for later renovations
Then popped in to the food court stalls

The economic rice stall
The price didn't eat into your pocket
Vegetables weren't overcooked
Serving was quick not on a weekend

As it is with all complexes
You see one you seem to see it all
You want to look for something different
It has to be somewhere else...

Popped in to Winter Tea Summer
Ordered drinks, latte and sandwiches
Admired the flowery cups and saucers
Captured some in camera..

Drove down to Penang Road
Popped to Chowrasta stalls
Walked under the shade of corridor
Walked in to the Pots

The Penang Road cendol stalls
Nothing has changed through the years
Ordered 2 bowls though the price increased
The last was $1.20 now $2.20 a bowl

The traffic jam
Got worst now then before
When I was living here
It was quite manageable

Now the island
For visits explore some
The different type of food and drinks
The old Penang she has gone
