Went for a 2-day tour in Perak on June 8 (finally updating now~). The places where we pass by at least 6 times every year without stopping by...
Well, the destination was Teluk Intan, which became the Final Destination after a change of plan. Right after my horrible circuit theory test, we had a ride through the serving-no-purpose SMART highway......whcih was quite boring really...
On the way to the north, we stopped by Kampar for a famous gigantic "curry bun". As big as a turkey, haha. Then, since mom was so eager, we made a trip to the UTAR campus there. *The fact that I've never even really seen the Setapak campus.* Except that the location wasn't near town centre, the location was superb~!! With modern building styles, huge acres of land, a huge lake surrounding it, and blossoms of cute and rarely-seen flowers!! Wow...
Took some photos, but still cannot upload...hehe paiseh~~
Went off to Taiping, and visited the legendary Taiping Lake. The place looks a lot fresher than Titiwangsa Lake, and I especially love the huge trees which grow from one side of the road and reached their branches to the lake surface!
On the way down to Ipoh, we turned into Teluk Kertang and Matang to take a look at a cheap seafood restaurant reccomended by dad's colleague. TK was a typically small fishing village, which is smaller than my housing estate. The calmness and peace had me wanting to spend a day or two over there!
In Ipoh, we were to spend the night at a cousin's house. Got to see the cheeky Candy again! And she's learning piano! *envy~* We gurls were in luck, coz we got to watch the recorded Lee Hom's Taipei concert!! It was so much better than the Malaysia concert. And especially the guests to stand the stage with him - Westlife~!!! MRVELOUS~!!!
One unlucky thing was, we missed out the 'smelly taufu', which is a favourite of a pasar malam nearby. Hmm...
Next day, We went around Setiawan, hometown of Uncle Tan, where we had a famous cendol and nice Fuzhou food at Air Tawar. Make a trip to a local fame, a shop where delicious 'buns' were homemade.
Finally, at Teluk Intan, we climbed up the slanting tower. A place dear to me, I'd like to study the structure and design of the tower, which is kinda chinese culture influenced. A marvelous piece...
All the way back, we took the coastal road, which is rather long, of course, but a different experience. it's fun to go through different areas and towns. A relaxing view for a city person.
