Road Trip (29 June - 1 July 2006)

Report written on 1st July 2006:

We left Ade's place on Thursday morning in Ade's big car.. there were 7 of us (Chung Wei, Michelle, Adeline, Sim Ling, William, Soh Khun, me) so we had to plan who sits where =P SL sat right at the back... with all our luggage.. ahaha.. cos apparently people with long legs cant fit =P
Our lunch for that day was KFC -_-'' Yes.. dont ask me why...

First stop was this huge waterfall in Tapah.. CW went and soaked himself in the water for whatever reason...


Then we went to Kampar where we would stay the night. On the first day itself, the most horrible thing in the world happened... THE AIR COND ROSAK!!!! So you can imagine how we suffered in wonderful Malaysia's hot weather... but it wasn't too bad as we borrowed SK's aunt's kembara to use in Kampar. We drove to one of SK's aunt's house to get the Kembara and also to shower there. Then we stayed in SK's other aunt's house, which no one has stayed in for the past 3 months cos they went overseas... so the place was quite the dusty and all of us swept and mopped the place up.. ok.. i think just SL CW Mich Ade did those... i hung up our towels =P

when the air-cond was still working

We all shared one little room there which air cond wasnt cold enough so most of us didnt sleep too well cos too warm... i think we only slept in one room that time cos we were too lazy to clean up the other rooms =P

We had to wake up at 6.30am because we planned to do a lot of things.. first was to Gua Tempurung, somewhere in Ipoh or near Ipoh.. I dunno... Anyway we had to pay to go into the caves with a guide with us.. William didnt go with us on this one..

Before Gua Tempurung: Dry

The first half of the journey in the cave was dry with stairs to walk up and down.. Ade was half dead walking up the stairs and clinging on to people for support.. haha.. then we came to a point where the so-called trail/stairs ended.. and it was super dark because no more man-made lights.. all of us had to slide down steep ground and go through a really small hole to get to the water part of the journey.. we all got really wet because we had to sort of crawl and bend down through most of the water parts.. because the cave ceiling was really low at those points.. as high as until your knees.. most of the time we were lying down in the water and making our way across... but it was all really fun.. it was supposed to be a 2 hour journey but we finished it in 1 and a half.. next time we shall try the 4 hour one if anyone wants to come along ;)

After Gua Tempurung: Wet

Next stop was Kellie's castle.. nothing much to talk about there because we were there for a short while.. mostly due to the heat and our car had a spoilt air cond..
We made our way to Ipoh.. stayed at Ade and Mich's aunts/grandparents place and had Pizza Hut for lunch -_-'' We were quite tired and it was hot outside and half dead in the air-cond-spoilt-car so we decided to order.. haha... Then Mich SL CW and me did laundry there!!! hahah.. we took all the wet clothes from the cave experience to wash off all the sand and stuff... also had to wash and hang other people's underwear.. but i shall not mention anybody's names here.. hehhehe...

laundry

That night we went for dinner at a chinese restaurant where Ade & Mich's aunt belanja us.. then we wanted to watch Superman in Kinta City.. SOME PEOPLE (Ade la) said no need to book tickets cos people in Ipoh wont watch movies wan.. so when we went there the only seats available was front row -_-'' So we ended up watching Scary Movie 4 which is a super fai show.. i think no one laughed as much as SL =P

The next day, we planned to wake up at 6.30am to go for early breakfast and leave Ipoh early to avoid the glaring sun... but no one set their alarm clocks and we woke up at 7.30 instead... ate dim sum for breakfast then went back to KL...
Our divers for the whole trip were Ade, CW and William.
So thats about it =)
I dont think we ate as much as the previous road trip but was very fun all the same...
