To be honest, I was a little freaked out by the theme park entrance but hey, it does have the vibes of a 100-year-old theme park. It's way different than the bigger and modern theme parks such as Universal Studios and Disneyland. It has the vintage feels but it was renovated over the years.

However, the pricing of the theme park was not exactly cheap either. Click here for the ticket pricing.





The rides are quite diverse but after continuously going on spinning rides for an hour... nope. I gave my ticket to a relative of mine and started walking around instead. (sorry but again, tickets were pricey and it's a $1 = RM3 thing)



Haven't had cotton candy for quite some time so I took 'em from my brother for a quick photo (and a quick bite).

Wanted to leave earlier to explore the beach but it was SO windy that there was practically no one there either. Had a burger at a Grill'd nearby for lunch and wow it was delicious (healthy AND good burgers?). OK now I wish they have one in Malaysia/Singapore.

Kbye. I'm hungry already. :(

The Cat Museum is on the 2nd to 4th floor of the building. You could take the stairs or the lift to access different floors.

Lockers are available for footwear as shoes are not allowed in the museum. Visitors are also required to sanitise their hands before playing with the cats at each floor.

We were greeted by this huge feline at the first floor of the museum.





Playing with cats can be fun but you could still get scratched or bitten if you mishandle them or if they like/dislike you. Hard to tell why tho. And somehow they liked my skirt that day. Maybe it's comfy to them. HAHAH.
There's a space to play with some grown cats on the first floor of the museum. Make sure you keep the door closed at all times so that the cats don't run off by themselves.



On to the second floor of the museum via stairs. There are cute cat cartoons on the wall.





On the second floor of the museum there are cats/kittens up for adoption. If you ever need a cat/kitten, adopt one!







Of course, there's also a play area for kittens, which are more active and not as lethargic as some grown cats. It's somewhat fun and a way to forget about things for a while. Some people come here to play with the kittens for de-stress purposes too.







On the third floor of the museum is where you will find all the cats named after celebrities. The super lazy Persian above is named Brad, after Brad Pitt. He's about 8kg. Welp. So fluffy though. :3





And this is just me during holidays.

The Cat Museum is actually a nice place to visit and spend time with cats if you are a cat lover or if you just enjoy company of the cats. The cats and kittens are well taken care of and clean too. Of course, you could donate some money to the museum as they are a non-profit organisation. Check out their website/FB page for details!

P.S. Been busy with orientation nowadays, will try to update often!

And, I had a class trip to Penang Island, which is famous for its delicious food. Unfortunately, this is not a food post.

Escape theme park in Teluk Bahang, Penang opened to public on Nov 2012 and is a place where kids and adults alike could connect to nature and escape from their work and studies for a while.



We were pretty much excited on the way to the Escape theme park. The view from the bus window was just plain awesome and beautiful, especially near the Ferringhi beach.



Located at Teluk Bahang, it was quite far from our rented villa at Gelugor. It took us about an hour or so and of course, we had to wake up early in the morning. *groans*

Price rates:

Junior Kid (4-12 years) = 45.00
Big Kid (13-60 years) = 60.00

Super Kid (60 years and above) = 45.00
** children under the age of 4 get free admission and also if you are a MyKad holder and you're above 60 years old, you also get free admission.

For groups over 20 pax, you get a special price too.

Here's the park map but oops, it's a little off-centred.

There are paid lockers near the toilets but if you have a lot of stuff, you can rent a cabana to put your things. The cabanas are under key and lock. The price depends on the size of the rented cabana.

There are trees all over the place so you can be certain that there are lots of shady areas to rest under the scorching sun.

Found this is the toilet cubicle. 

Of course, it is advised that you shouldn't use your phones to go online or stuff in the park. The main point is to enjoy the place, right?



The first game we tried was the Jungle Swinger. Most activities there have a weight limit (a majority have a limit of 120kg, and there are also certain activities for kids).



Spent most of the time there with Jean and Jai Chi. Love Jean's blue dip dye hair so darn much (she'll get narcissistic when she sees this, mind you).

Back to the Jungle Swinger, all you have to do is grab hold of the rope and jump down the ramp. It is not very high but you'll still feel the adrenaline pumping when you take the first leap. The only thing is that the rope is a little sweaty from the previous players' palms.  .-.



And the Flying Lemur is a must-try! It's actually a flying fox which is 139m long and about 30m above ground. Flying over treetops is, well, awesome! Especially when you get to feel a gentle breeze when you zip through the 139m line.



*le random weird me after coming back from the opposite side*
And yes, I forgotten to mention that you have to go to-and-fro the zip-line. There are 4 zip-lines in total. Two back and two forth? I didn't really get into the matter.



If you are good at climbing, you could attempt to climb the trees at Go Ape.

You could also try the Coco Climb, which doesn't include the foot-stops and rewards you with a coconut when you get to the top of the tree and ring the bell.





If you are up for the challenge, you could go for Atan's Leap that has two jump boards (another lower jump board is available at certain hours). It's not exactly free-falling as you are connected to the harness that ensures you a slower fall.
I didn't go on Atan's Leap but my friends who did even complained that it wasn't high enough!



The climb up is more tiresome in my opinion.



Escape theme park has helpful and nice staff to help around. They are really friendly. :D


-pic Googled-

Gecko Tower is where you get to challenge your friends or family to the top of the tower. You have to press the stopper on the top of the tower after climbing the wall of the tower. Each wall can accommodate two people but each one of them has a different difficulty level.
Unfortunately, I got one of the difficult ones. ugh. *randomness*


-pic from Escape website-

The Tubby Racer is also another recommended game. It is tiring work, dragging the tubby tube up the stairs and to the slide. Other than that, I couldn't complain much. Sliding down was very, very exhilarating. You could tie several tubby tubes together too! (I thought that you could only tie two. darnit)



And, uhm, chickens..?



Please do not freak out when you see an employee weeding or trimming grass and plants on top of roofs.



Last of all, the activity you must not miss - Monkey Business!
There are 3 levels in total, and there are a few paths for you to choose on each level. Level 1 is the easiest (and closest to the ground) and Level 3 is the hardest among them all (and highest up, of course).



There are a lot of challenges that takes good balancing and handwork + footwork. Well, at least you can be assured that you won't fall flat on the ground as security measures are taken. If you are stuck, you could ask the staff on duty for help. For some people, they'll appreciate the ground more once they're done with Monkey Business.





As you may notice, I took a few photos from the Escape theme park website or from Google. Carrying a DSLR while playing is a little inconvenient but I couldn't pass up the chance for photographing so I asked some friends to help me take care of it while I was playing *huge shoutout to friends*.
