Road Trip.... Sort Of

Hey all!!

To all those that have followed me thus far in my blog, i got to say sorry for all the dark and pseudo-emo posts... Haha... So as a token of my forgiveness, here's some better stuff for you guys to look at...

Day 1

As the title suggests, i had a road trip from Friday till Sunday... The 1st stop was Ipoh and you can already guess what i did there... And so the 1st thing me and my family (whole family for once in about 4 years, this is the 1st holiday i had in 2 years, so pretty amazing, lol) did was go down to the famous white coffee place and gorged ourselves on the awesome food... White coffee, coupled with fried mee, dim sum, siew pau and fish ball just has a way of making your life all the more blissfull... Lol...( I have photos but can't seem to upload the mwith my gud for nothing internet connection) And right after that, we embraced the humble tradition of going to sleep right after our meal...(Although we actually didn't because we had to look for the hotel for about 45 minutes...Haha) And slumbered we did, until 6.30 wherein we once again decided to pursuit ways to make ourselves less horizontally challenged...(I actually managed to see a real Ipoh parking meter...It's shorter than me by about 2 feet and looks much better than ours...) Oh, and in the ardent look or food, i found the place where i fell into the drain when i was in form 1 or 2....(It was right outside a restaurant, the hor fun place, so u can imagine the nastiness of falling into one of those...eeecccchhh) Brings back lovely memories.... And after dinner, we once again retired into our rooms(again getting lost) and watched Catwoman(lame show) and then sleep)

Day 2

Woke up at 8 o'clock(with lots of whining and pleading of course) to join up with a friend and headed off to Taiping and again, food...(Lame i know) Then we shot up to Cameron Highlands...The trip itself was uneventful with everybody dosing(Except my father of course, who was driving)and waking up to read or just stone... But towards the top, the everybory woke up to feel the coolness of the fresh hill breeze(Cameron is not a mountain) and subsequently feel like puking....(I did anyway) First thing we did when we went there was to find our relative(really distant, hard to explain but really close to my family) who owns Cactus Valley, a popular tourist spot in Cameron... As usual, he greeted us with aplomb, though with a fewer hair... Always an influential person, he managed to secure us an apartment for RM200 a night with a siting room, 3bedrooms and their respective bathrooms when it was supposed to cost RM650....Haha... And then we went out for a fantastic dinner at his childrens' Godfather's place....(Technically, his children are our cousins...Again, hard to explain) All the food was good(I mean real GOOD!!! Can't find stuff like this down in KL) And then we went for a stroll in the pasar malam there... But we soon left because, as usual, my vaunted relative was paying for everything we bought!!!(Boxes of strawberries and bubble tea and corn) We then went to his house where i saw a freaky fish with a fish's body but a crocodile's mouth...(Nasty looking teeth too)We hung out there, the youngsters in a group and the elders in another...And laughing so much our heads almost popped out.... Lol...

Day 3

We were at his house until about 12.30(thats the reason for the different day, i'm very technical, so sue me) and then left for the comfort of our beds...Although we had to take a chilling bath till my little brother almost dropped off from frostbite... Slept and woke up at 9 this time and we went to the same place for breakfast(not so good this round the food)and then, my relative took us to see his farm and again gave us fresh strawberries and other stuff.... But the highlight was the trip up to the summit of one of the hills with a watchtower.... We went up there in a topless jeep and i managed to take loads of pictures of the tea plantations on the way up there(Beautiful i tell you)... Also, the wind in my face(and occasionally a branch) was real exhilarating.... The rest, is usual stuff.... And so ends my 1st vacation in 2 years... Haha...
