8/6
Took 10.30pm bus from JB Larkin bus station to Sri Maju Ipoh headquarter. It’s a long bus journey.

9/6
Reach Ipoh at around 5.30am. It’s still early, so we back to YF’s house to rest. Slept until around 12pm. (o.O so 厉害 sleep….waha~) YF brought us to Old Town and we met YS there for lunch. Drank the Old Town white coffee and the snacks sold at the shop was nice. The egg tarts were crispy. After that, our Ipoh trip began…

We went around in YF’s car. The buildings along the road had a unique style and some of them were still preserved to be in old British style. We seldom saw this kind of building style recently. We stopped at the Railway station. It gave me a British colonial feel because of its building appearance. We took quite a number of photos there. Later on, YF brought us to see the Menglembu landmark – the peanuts statue. Then we head back to YF’s house.

Back to YF’s house, we played games. YF had a wide collection of games!! We played Monopoly and a sort-of driving game(not remember the name =P). Haha, I nearly bankrupt in Monopoly le…YF’s mum prepared some noodles for us, so we ate while we were playing Monopoly. Then we changed to the ‘driving’ game. It’s played using cards. You will need a green light to start playing. Then you may be stopped by other players anytime. There are some hazard cards such as “flat tyre”, “accident”, “out of gas”, “speed limit” and of course there will be some remedy cards for them. Due to tiredness, I didn’t join in the ‘driving’ game.

We went to pasar malam after playing the ‘driving’ game and had ‘lok lok’ as our dinner. It’s been a long time since I last ate ‘lok lok’. Haha, enjoyed the feeling dipping the ‘lok lok’ sticks into the boiled water and ate it by the street. =P We walked along the road and keep on ‘searching’…Suddenly something caught our attention. “炒冰” Have you heard it before? We were wonder how it is done. Out of curiosity, we went to the stall and bought one and 顺便 see the making process. Bought some bread as our breakfast for the next day and we went back to YF’s house.

The night was still early, so we played games again. Played the 陆战棋 with YS and Rummy-O with BY while YF and ZJ were playing chess. Never noticed the time, we played until around 4.30am (@.@) Went to bed and sleep for a few hours and will have to wake up, prepare to ‘climb’ the Kledang hill..

10/6
Woke up early early in the morning, prepared to ‘climb’ the Kledang hill. The morning air is so refreshing, should have more morning walk (been telling myself to wake up early but everytime will lose to 周公 and continue to sleep..hehe). We walked up the slope and enjoying the view from the hill. Wah..the view is nice when you looked down from high above. Been to the waterfall and had our breakfast there. Tried to shoot the waterfall but couldn’t get the feel I want. Hmm..should practice more..haha~

Back to YF’s house again and caught some sleep before we off to have our lunch and meet LY. YF brought us to “大树脚” to eat laksa. There’s a huge variety of the ingredients and they were nice. LY is so sweet, specially bought us Chee Cheong Fun, but too bad she can’t join us for the trip. Had a full and contented meal. Again, we went around in YF’s car. YF and YS introduced us about the buildings that we passed by. Then we went to 茶坊. It is a place similar to Settler’s café or Mind’s café in Sg. The difference is the 茶坊 is in Chinese style (we drank Chinese tea) and the variety of games is much lesser than that in Settler’s or Mind’s café. However the most important is the ambience and the time shared together with friends.

After that, we went to YS’s house and we were going to spend the night there. Rest for a while and off we went to have our dinner at Wholley food centre. Got a surprise from ZJ, BY and YF. They bought cakes for YS and I from Secret Recipe! An early birthday celebration for us~~ Thanks BY, YF and ZJ!!

Head back to YS’s house after dinner. Played the ‘driving’ game and ‘blockers’. First time playing blockers and learnt a few tactics while playing. To ‘conserve’ energy for the next day trip, we slept quite early at around 1.30am.

11/6
Josephine’s birthday – Happy birthday, 朱妹~

Went to have Dim Sum as our breakfast. They were tasty and nice. I had a bowl of sesame paste and BY said it’s good for black hair (hmm…I shall have more then, lol~)

Today’s trip began with the visit to 南天洞, and then we went to 三保洞. They are natural caves which had been developed as a tourist destination. Again, it’s photo taking time~

After that, we went to Kellie’s castle. It was owned by William Kellies Smith and was intended to be the hub of social life for the area’s wealthy colonial planters and administrators. However it was never to be completed. Work halted with the sudden demise of William Kellie Smith in Dec 1926.We went around the castle and took a lot of artistic photos, haha.. YF even brought her tripod along~ hehe, the photo shooting session at Kellie’s castle took quite some time...but the photos were very very nice!!! The scenery there and the building style is a good spot for photo shooting. =P

Had our lunch at a coffee house and we went to Popular to kill our time before we had our dinner – 芽菜鸡…a “can’t-be-missed” dishes when you come to Ipoh. The remaining of the time was spent on the making of 记“袆”犹“心”and chatting…wah…really had a long long overnight chat until the next day morning ~~~~~~~

12/6
Had a simple breakfast at “up to you” coffee shop （随便你茶餐室）…a funny name, rite? YF said there’s still more shop that had similar name as this in Ipoh. Later on, we made our way to Sri Maju headquarters to meet YS there. Passed her the 记忆（祎）犹新（心）, glad to see the happy expression at YS’s face…a simple yet memorable birthday gift…Chat for a while and we got to bid YF and YS goodbye…board on the bus and off we go…going back to Larkin ~~

Sleep all the way back to Larkin on the bus…Before board on the bus at Sri Maju headquarters, had a headache and felt 不舒服, maybe due to insufficient of sleep, luckily didn’t have car-sick. It becomes so much better after a nap in the bus…

*Due to tiredness and maybe a sudden hormone imbalance(lol~~), I appeared to be a bit 闷闷的 and quiet during the trip some of the times...不好意思ya~ hope you guys won’t take it in heart, k? =P

Specially thanks to YF and YS to be our tour guides and your accompaniment for these days... Had a great time with great friends! =)

Don't have any idea on the title, so I just leave it blank..=P

Actually now I donno what to blog,just feel like to write something..haha..
Thought of blogging on my Ipoh trip, but don't have any 灵感 now...lol~~ so have to be patient la..wait till I have the 灵感 to narrate on it..And I'm waiting for the photos too..hehe~ Took quite a number of photos during this trip, esp when we were at Kellie's castle..The scenery is so suitable for photo taking and it is nice!

Today is Father's day..Hmm.. my family don't really celebrate the occasion..since it is Sunday and mum don't need to work, maybe will just cook something special and have it together...

R.Yin's birthday also falls on today..Happy birthday to R.Yin!!!All the best and take care~~

Finally, it's done~ 1st attempt on doing this..lol~ gotta learn more...

A memento for myself of my 3 yrs uni life.. Had quite a number of great moments with great friends!! And I'm sure there's more to go!!! Haha...

life is plain.

Everyday wakes up and repeats the same things from morning until night...
Surfing net, watching DVD or TV, reading story book, doing a slide show to relate my 3-year Uni life...nothing much...

Haha, been wondering when will I found my first job~~ There's some other things been hovering in my mind...Maybe I start to think too much again... =P

Plan to go SG tml to take some things back, however feels so reluctant to go ~~ lol~ 矛盾，isn't it??

Taking night bus to Ipoh this coming Sunday..Looking forward it~ Sure it can add some sparks to my recent boring life... lol~~~
