Trip to Ipoh and Cameron Aug 07

Ok... this is gonna be quite a bit of a long entry with loads of pictures so bear with me... heehee....

Totally excited on the 8th of Aug (Wed) that I actually couldn't wait to get out of the office at 530pm sharp.... hee... I actually left earlier.... but who cares....

It was the day where me and my cat set off from Beach road Golden Mile complex on the StarMart coach....

But the coach was quite a turn off as it was quite filthy. Meow Meow actually could sense roaches crawling around his seat... and indeed.... lol... he shone his torch in between our seats only to find an empty shell of Mentos sweet with small roaches nibbling on the sweet. GROSS!!!!

Hahaha..... meow meow could not stand the sight of it....
He could not stand the seat as well, as it made him totally uncomfortable and unable to sleep.

The journey itself was scary....
The indian bus driver ... damn him ... he drove like there is no tomorrow. The speed felt like 160 - 180km/h. So damn fast.... when turning into the small lane, I could feel like as though the bus is going to topple any minute.

The estimated arrival should actually be 5 - 6am... but we reached at 440am in the morning!!!
Even Sean was shocked with the fast arrival.

9th Aug 07 (Day 1)
Tell you!!! I was so freaking tired!!!

But how could we miss the breakfast....
Had Tim Sum and it was way better than the one I had 2 years back.... and which Sean initially wanted to bring us to.
Haha.... was too hungry to actually take pictures of the tim sum.

After breakfast, Sean took us for a little spin up the hill where you can see a lot of people brisk walking and exercising. The morning view was great!!

Sean fetched us to his house to rest first as he had to return to work for awhile which ended up working till 12pm...
Meow happily settled himself in a chair and started dozing/sleeping -_-'''

I was happily exploring around the house as I could not fall asleep and guess what I have found....

Guess how old is this fish!!!

IT'S 30 YEARS OLD and IT'S VEGETERIAN!!!


By 1230pm, Sean is finally done with his work and had came home to fetch us to his aunt's place where we will be staying for the next 2 nights and to wash up.

By then we were starving.... so we quickly wash up and headed out for lunch.

Presenting to you my Ipoh friend, our host:

After lunch we headed down to Ipoh parade to do a little shopping but..... I DIDN'T MANAGED TO GET ANYTHING!!!!

But my darling managed and finally found his miniature Blackblack bike in BLACK...

By then, it was 5pm and I was really tired as I did not get any rest ever since we got off the coach.

But we were to have dinner with Sean's parents... this time it's our treat to them thanking them for the taking care of us when we had accident about half year ago.
Darling was smart enough to pretend buying stuff over at the counter but footing the bill at the same time.

Dinner was great and really CHEAP!!! Shark's fin soup for only 1RM but it taste good. Had stir-fried Sheng yu, Pig trotters, Calamari and Salted vege soup.
Food were great!!!
And Sean's father sure do know a lot of people.

Back to Sean's hse to rest for awhile and then we headed out to a clubbing scene which was so much better than Y2K which I went 3 years back. Haha.... but we saw a group of guys which made us turn off as they behaved so GAY!!

Ok.... by the 1am I was totally shut off.... left the club and headed home. Slept all the way through the car journey till we reach back to his aunt's place.

10th Aug 07 (Day 2)
Haha.... I totally KO-ed till the this morning... and we actually woke up really late.
Was supposed to be out of the house by 8am but we slept till 9am even until Sean reached... haha... that shows how tired we are.

Plan was actually to head to the waterfalls... but we failed to do so as it was too late...
Sean might just as well bring us to the Ipoh beach.
The view was great and the waves were strong.

Some pictures that we have taken...

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket My cat and Sean... heehee....

Pics of the jetty...

So that's about all.... Ipoh has got nothing really much to explore.
By then it was almost 3pm and we headed to a nearby food place for lunch.

Just 3 dishes as me and Meow were still not very hungry. We had Curry stinkray and it's FANTASTIC!!!! The curry gravy was not too spicy and tasty!!!
Too bad I didn't managed to take pictures as my camera battery died on me.

Then we headed back to wash up and rest first.
By 630pm, Sean picked us up and we headed to JUSCO for movie 'RUSH HOUR 3'.

The show was fantastic and hilarious.... non-stop of laughter!!!
But as it is in Malaysia, I wonder if there are any parts of the show been censored off. Hmmmm...

Walked around abit after the show and we got ourselves a trouser each from G2000 as there was a 50% discount. Now, we only regretted not buy more of them in different shades of colours. LOL....

Aftermath was dinner we Sean's family again.... this time they were all waiting for us to arrive... oops... so paiseh to make them wait. They treated us to the local food...
Braised chicken feet and bean sprout chicken with the soup Kuay teow.... *Slurp*

This was not over... there was another 2nd round of dinner where Sean's father insisted to bring us. And... luckily we did not reject....
The food... oh man.... totally fabulous!!

Food time is finally over and it's time to head back to rest early as we have to leave by 730am. Up to CAMERON HIGHLANDS!!!

But on the way back, guess what I saw:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

YES!! I 'have' an Optical shop in IPOH.... hahaha..... it's my name.....

Alright... it was time to KO....

11th Aug 07 (Day 3)
Totally excited..... it's time to head up to Cameron Highlands....
The new route wasn't that bad as compared to the route when heading down Cameron.
-_-''' bought the walkie talkie but we actually forgotten to bring up with us.

On the way, a car that was actually just a few cars in front of us actually lost control and had the car landed in the drain. I wonder how did it happened when it was actually on a straight road. Oh well...
After confirming that no one was hurt, we continued with our journey up.

Before we reached Brinchang town, we reached a strawberry and Hydroponics farm... hmmm... the strawberries are not very much in sight but the hydroponics vegetables were fantastics... so green and look so crunchy!!

Some strawberries items that I caught on my camera.

After Kwan, Jumat and Denden headed down to Ipoh where Au stays, we continued with our tour around Cameron highlands.
Was expected to be greeted with a cold weather up in the high mountains.
Ended up, me and Meow had sunburn.... -_-'''

First we headed to BOH Tea (Best Of Highlands)

We got 4 different flavours of tea.

But was heart-throbbing when Sean drove his car up as the road was winding... the lane was just nice for one car to pass through.... omg.... my eyeballs almost rolled out with fear and breaking out cold sweat... OMG!!!! But lucky going down was not as bad as going up.

Next was to the Bee Farm,
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Got 3 big tubs of fresh honey and one of them was for Sean's aunt in return of kindness.

The strawberries.... omg!!! Shiok!!!

All shapes and size of cactus and different kinds and colours of flowers... so pretty....

Last but not least... how can we forget to get our strawberry ice-packs after coming all the way up to Cameron.

My Cat can't wait to sink his teeth into the ice-packs... hahaha....
Guess how many sticks did we buy... lol....
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Ice-packs hand-carried all the way back from Cameron to Ipoh.... *treasure*

Alright.... it's 330pm and it's time for us to leave for Ipoh...
Goodbye Cameron!!

Ok... this time Sean took the old route down.... SCARY!!!!! Going down the winding mountains non-stop for almost 1hr plus. My eye could not shut.... had to keep an eye on the road and that Sean does not get tired... omg...

Finally when we reached the bottom of the mountain, we headed back to Ipoh and to get some local goodies.
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Went back to pack and changed to some fresh clothes after perspiring for the whole day.
Knowing that Sean will forget to bring a large paper bag for us, we managed to squeeze everything we had and brought into all our bags... lol....

Had dinner which was totally turn off...
My cat was given the wrong order and my order was not placed and that made my cat flare up and to confront the manager and got her to waive off the last order.

Then we headed to large open field where there held the 'Summer Live Concert'. Sean actually had to queue up for the tickets for almost 2 hours and we are not able to stay long as our bus back to SG was at 930pm... Such a pity and waste.
