When I met Puan Nazlina (my practical advisor), she introduce me to the centre manager, Pn. Rozaini Hassan and En. Osman Said who is the assistance. After visiting the Centre, we start our walking to Acheen Street Malay Mosque.
Hands before, we took long run as to look at the other heritage building around before we went to the Acheen Street Mosque. Puan Nazlina showed me the buildings around. Surprised me, the stunning, smooth and fine design of the building has caught my attention that particular Monday morning (11th May 2009). While when you turn left into Lebuh Armenian, the first building that you will see would be the Penang Islamic Museum (Picture:1). It is situated right behind the Penang Heritage Centre or World Heritage Office. There are also rows of shop houses that is believe dating back from the 19th century. The Dr. Sun Yat Sen Base (Picture:2) is one of the heritage buildings of the shop house. Since that morning the sky is calming ocean blue, my hand could not stop from taking the picture of those unique buildings. We walk few steps then we saw there are still businesses being run in those shop houses like recycle shops. A unit of shop house was undergoing the restoration and reconstruction. Nevertheless, even the contractor try to duplicate the old design there is still differences being detected. The design was not as smooth as the old building next to it.
Subsequently, down the street of Lebuh Armenian the white building belong to Yap Kongsi on the right. Next to it which is at the junction with Medan Canon is the Choo Chay Keong Temple (Picture:3). The beautiful and colourful designs of the dragon on the roof of the temple really catch peoples’ attention. Before we met En Mohamed Yahya or Cikgu Mat at the rumah No 69.(The 1st mufti house) or it is being situated next to Acheen Street Malay Mosque (Picture:4), we had our breakfast at the Ramzan’s Restaurant (Picture:5). To slurp a sip of ‘teh tarik’ really give starting boost the energy that wonderful morning.
