After lunch in Ipoh, we made our trip up north. Took us about an hour plus to reach and we had to look for a place to stay for the night. Most of the hotels are already fully booked since it was the holiday weekend. Our first target was Gurney Hotel though, then since there was no room, we went for a budget hotel instead. Since we were all tired, we took a rest. Since I was in Penang for my project last year, so I was the navigator for Penang. After a couple of hours of rest, we went looking for food and ended up in a jam in Gurney area.Before that we went to Ghee Hiang to get some tambun biscuits. We had our dinner at Gurney drive. The normal asam laksa, wantan mee, grilled fish...so sad, my fried chicken stall is not there already. I wonder where it went! The usual stuff you can find there, now with more stalls selling toys and accesories. After dinner, we went to Gurney Plaza to take a walk. There was a book sale going on. I bought 3 books!!Cost me about RM70! Unexpected expenditure.(In the process of reading one of it)
We were all very tired and got back to our hotel. So everyone slept like babies through the night. The next morning we went for temple visits again. First were the Burmese temples.Was there the last time I went also..so nothing new. Just that after visiting Bangkok, kinda preferred the temples there.
We went to the sleeping buddha temple too. There, WS, KW and Bev made offerings. And finally our first group pic was taken by this reallllyyyy enthusiastic tourist.
After that we went back to town to grab something to eat. Went to this coffeeshop at Lrg Swatow and had ais kacang! After that, started to drizzle a little but that aside, we went to Air Hitam --> Kek Lok Si. KW, Bev and Fatt made offerings this time. Too bad the Kuan Yin statue area was under renovation. Didn't go all the way up.
So after that visit, we were too tired to go further. But since we hiked up, we made our way to Muar Chee..which tasted really good! After all that, we start to make our journey back. We were all tooooooooo tired. Need to thank Fatt a lot for driving us. he was also dead tired actually but had to tahan coz all of us already KO in the car. But he requested to change when we were near Rawang. So I drove the rest of the way back to Klang.It was already 9 something and we got ourselves dinner! We were soooo hungry that we ate every single bit of stuff served to us!!
Well, this was a short budget trip(Expense did not went to more than RM200). Had an enjoyable time with my friends. Interesting way to use up the holiday too. Looking forward to my next trip to Langkawi end of the month!
