WeEkeNd TRiP . . . !!

Day 1
Reached Ipoh about 8 pm due to heavy rain and great instruction s frm Desmond . . . sounds something like this "Ur at the traffic light rite? First u turn right then u turn right again then u reach round about u take 12 o clock then u turn right then u call me . . . so many right but where to turn ar ??? which junction ?? well we didnt get loss thanks to XY s idea of turning at every major junction s haha
After meeting up straight for dinner which was suppose to be Chicken rice but end up eating noodles since the shop was close "the kononnya BEST one in Ipoh" hmmm tasted weird o prob i m just not use to it haha

The shop that sells noodles but then we forgot to take pics of the noodles lol

Taugae
Then after that we went for a drink around the area since XY had her tong sui craving haha . . .
Mushroom Soup

Strawberry milk shake

Headed back to Desmond's PALACE about 1130 pm to rest a while and bath . . . u tot that was the end of day 1?? Ur wrong . . . around 12 pm the tour guide decided to go for "XUE FA BEH" dont knoe wat it means in english but it means BEER . . . looks odd since they chilled the glass really cold and the beer ice like slurpee then pour out into the glass and ur suppose to drink it cold . . . I m not a drinker but it still tasted odd . . .


The beer lounge haha

Day 2
This is what happens when u sleep at 3 am the night before lol . . . i m sure the tour guide is gonna kill me haha

The King sleeping on his water bed lol .. ..

Had breakfast at Foh San. The place was great but to wait and get a place was NOT so great. It was a battlefield breakfast since it was packed with multiorganisms & basically u have to squeeze through and fight for a place lol . . . basically siapa cepat dia dapat . . .

Foh San

Yay we got plates lol

And the food too
After that it was off to pick Faiz (also quoted as big strong and friendly) I hope i spelled his name right as our assistant tour guide haha =) who gladly showed us the way to Kelly's Castle and other few attractions
While awaiting for the assistant tour guide Faiz

The view outside frm inside the castle

We met wit a loving couple haha

Hey since when i changed my profession to be a human tripod -_-""

Jump Queen doin flying shots

Spend about 2 hours at Kellys castle not that its interesting but it was great place to learn how to use the most complicated (to me) camera lol . . . wat abstract, ISO . . . shutter speed . . .

XY and Faiz chilling out under the sun

Still stalking hehe
Faiz chilling out

Look up . . . yaya random shot

After that it was a drive back to town to a DRIVE THROUGH TAU FOO FA yeah u didn’t read it wrongly . . . drive through . . . the one and only and new haha . . .

They sell soya bean drink too . . . not to mention now they have to pay me 4 advertising fee haha
Then we were off to Nam Heong coffee shop for the best o the most original Ipoh white coffee in town . . . don’t ask me how it taste like i don’t take coffee . . .

Upon reaching Gunung Lang


Loads of Koi fish can steam and eat ar ??

Jus enjoying the scenery

Just another random shot

Admiring the scenery


Back to the city center for dinner

U wouldn’t guess it . . . we went out again around almost 2 am and had ice kacang till about 3am which was basically crazy and came back to redesign Desmond's room which currently is filled with great memories and pictures taken by him =)

Was already dead on the bed by 430 am . . . and since the other 2 had no other objects to take pictures . . . sad to say i was volunteered, without consent to become THE OBJECT . . .

So after a good heavy breakfast we headed back home =) thanks for bringing us around Desmond and thanks for driving XY all in all it was a great weekend =P

I loved you post because if I hadn't read 'Bolesno Grinje', I would have been misled. You are so right in all the points you raised. staggered was cruelty masqueraded as tradition.
