On 29th October 2010, we, the FNBE March 2010 students were on tour to Penang to carry out project despite having vacation there. This trip had given me a chance to be exposed to the heritage of Georgetown and what i really appreciate of the place is the people’s hard work to preserve the olden days heritage and architecture so well. Honestly speaking, Penang is great place. For this sketch journal, we were instructed to sketch out 3 series of views or perspectives or items that relates back to George Town. The following sketches is my work.
