Family Outing which resulted to body ache....!!!!

Yesterday, we had a fun outing, but the outcome is bad - we had terrible body ache! But really worth it... This is where we go:


Actually we planned to go there a week earlier, but we postponed the plan because of certain reasons (U know I know lah, 1 day after election wor... Keke) . We left Penang at 11am, and reached there around 1 hour later.

The main door of the resort.


The whole resort is quite big, including hotels and apartments, waterpark, ecopark, the famous big lake and the orang utan island. But on that day, our main purpose is only the waterpark. Orang utan..... Next time lah. Keke...

The tickets for the waterpark is RM21 for adult, RM16 for children aged 12 and below, RM0 for kids below 90cm, and RM7 for senior citizens aged 55 and above. After bought tickets, we went to rent floats and lockers before we head to the pools.

The first pool we went is the Monsoon Lagoon Wave Pool. Nothing much special with the pool, except that the water there is so salty, even more salty than the real sea water!! Ptui ptui... We ter-taste the water when we were there playing, and the salty-ness of the water really sent shivers to our nerves.

The next pool we went is the Giant Bubble Pool. The center of this pool has a big half ball shape thingy, and it allows you to climb up to the top with the aid of ropes around, quite fun actually, especialy when you are climbing to the ball top on the slippery surface. Keke...

The Giant Bubble Pool.

Later, we went to play at the slide pools. Those pools were not that exciting until we went to this Boomerang.

The Boomerang.

Caution to those who are afraid of heights and has heart disease: DO NOT PLAY THIS BOOMERANG. Meowy and her cousin went up there to play first, and it seems that it was not that thrilling. Then I decided to go for a try after Meowy told me that it was kinda fun. As I reached the top of the station, my legs started to become abit shaky. When I sat on the specially designed float, I was trying to examine how high and steep the Boomerang is. Before I managed to imagine the height, OMG -- the lifeguard already push me off from the station. The moment I slide down from the steep, steep slide, my mind was blank, and I could only yell as the adrenaline rush to my whole body! Heck, it was such a fun! Keke...

Then, we proceed to the activity pool. There, Meowy's dad taught us how to swim (Paiseh ha, we dunno how to swim 1... Keke... ). After learning for some time, we finally managed to swim! Huhuhu... Such a nice feeling when we finally know how to swim... Keke...

At around 3.30pm, we decided to leave as everyone is getting tired already. Nevertheless, it was such a fun outing, with our skin burnt as a result of prolonged exposure to sun. Body ache as well, but worth it! Hehe...

Definitely will go there again. Our next to-go destination: The Orang Utan island. Will pay there a visit when we have time!

Sight-seeing @ Ipoh : Part 2

This is the continuation from the part1 here. After we left the Nam Thean Tong, we searched for a good few minutes to the routes to our next destination.

3rd and final stop : Kek Look (Lok) Tong


This cave located at the inner side of the housing area. You need to pass tru the housing area in order to go there. Therefore, for us, who dont have any map with us, its kinda hard to find but we manage to get ourselves there.

Its very cold , windy and calm in that cave. I think its because the cave is very big and with beutiful scenery too. We made a short stop at the temple cause was raining heavily at that time as you can see from the pic posted above and below.

The road to the cave.

Inside the cave. Some random shots of the cave.

A big hole in the middle of the cave.

I did mentioned bout the scenery right? Its really beautiful. Woofy tried to capture the scenery with rain pouring down but guess the camera too lousy. Geez...

Background scenery that looked like Genting. Misty misty...

Shooting up hoping to get some image of the raindrops. =(


Anyway, we left after a few minutes as the rain was getting heavier. Was soaking wet when we got into the car. What a trip!! After that, we went to *feed* our tummy as was hungry at that time. That is when we went to have our "chicky chicky" meal. Hee hee...=)

But the rain never subside as it rained all the way back to Penang. What a weather....Hrmph..Bad day to go on a trip...

Rain rain and rain....

Sight-seeing @ Ipoh : Part 1

As mentioned here before, Woofy took us (my mama,cousin and me) to Ipoh for some sight-seeing and praying few weeks ago.

Along the way to Ipoh, the weather was not that good as the sky blackblack and show some sign of raining soon.

Clouds forming and black black

Wah seh....so black laa....like evening time..


Our guess were correct. It rained so heavily that its so hard to see the road.

Wah....rain heavy oh...kenot see the road...

We pray and pray that it will stop raining as we dont want the rain to ruin our trip. But our answer was answered half only cuz it was drizzling as we reached Ipoh. Haih..-.-

Reached Ipoh`s street. Still drizzling.

As we dont have map with us , we searched and searched for the destination that we wanted to go. After searching and looking for road sign for few minutes, we finally found our way and we reached to our 1st destination safe and sound. Hee hee.

1st stop : Ling Shen Tong

There`s lotsa statues deities in this temple that located throughout the front yard. There`s also some cutie animals for children to hop on but due to the raining weather, couldnt take pix.


After spending sometime at the temple, we quickly run back to the car as it started to rain again. Then we proceed to the next stop.

2nd stop : Nam Thean Tong

At this temple, there`s not much statues deities around. Went for some informal praying then we walked around to see see. But what we saw are not those deities but lotsa ah pek around. They are yelling and shouting and scolding. We`re so curious bout what they are doing and quite suprised to know the answer.

Apparently, that Sunday was a horsing day or racing day. They were gambling at that very temple. Can they do that? I dunno. Hee Hee...but thats life. They`re just having fun with their friends. =)

After that, we proceed to the next temple. Shall continue next time....(^o^)

The day I saw Raymond Lam

Woofy brought me to 1U on the 24th of June during our trip down KL last month. Geez, it took Woofy almost 1 hour just to find a parking space. Bad bad luck. Ish...It was my first time looking for a parking space for that long. OMG.

After we found a parking space and quickly went for our brunch at Burger King. Then, I asked Woofy to bring me to see pet located at there lor.
Soon after that, we go jalan jalan around when we heard someone singing 'Billy Jean' and then foolowed by "Ting Ting" sound. Immediately hearing that, I remember that the Minutes To Fame show aka 殘酷一叮 are in town for the Malaysian leg.

Then, I dragged Woofy to watch with me and among see people head, I catch a glimpse of Raymond Lam (林峯) and the others such as Joey Leung (梁榮忠), MyFM`s DJ Vivian Tok (卓卉勤) and also a taiwanese artist 金剛.

The above pictures was very blury coz was taken with a camera phone. Dun mind laa hor? Hee hee...

Bukit Tinggi : French Village

Continuing from the previous post. We drove for a few minutes and we reached the French Village. Well, at the time we`re the village, there's nothing much happening except for few tourists walking around and some having a break at nearby coffee houses. Maybe due to our weekdays visit but during weekends, there'll be a lot of activities there.

In side the French Village with X'masy deco.

Top view

We stay there for a few minutes. After that, we walked around the village and we saw these cuties.....

White swan which they kept under the bridge.There are 2 white swans actually.

Black swan

The couple (i think)

Then, we look see look see around and we saw black clouds. Sign of heavy rain which means, we needa leave Bukit Tinggi already.

Look at the sky.Dark Dark liao...

BUT, before Woofy headed to the highway, i asked him to stop at d foot of the hill as i want to have a look at their "mini-zoo".

Too bad, the "mini-zoo" closed by the time we reached there. SO, we sneaked in using the back gate..(heehee)

The donkey. So busuk nia...Ewwwww

Another view of the donkey

Then we reached to the deer section. There this male deer naik miang (you know what i mean) and we saw it going around chasing the female deers to *ahem*. Caught the pic, but guess not so appropriate to post here. Hee hee...

A rather small size deer

A bigger size deer

I want to visit their section where they kept rabbits but was closed too due to the time. Next time maybe...We went back to KL after that.

On our journey back, the sky was so gloomy.And we even caught in the jam on the highway

Dark clouds

Jam but take a look at the mist

From afar, it looked like smoke

As for the jam, it turn out to be a truck had turn-turtle.

Bukit Tinggi : Japanese Village

We went to Bukit Tinggi on 11th Dec last year during my short stay at KL. It's a one day trip for us.

On that day, Woofy need to attend his morning class. So, Im left at home to prepare our needs for the trip. I made some tuna and egg sandwiches for us as breaky and eat it in the car during our journey.

The tuna and egg sandwiches. (my first time prepare this)

After Woofy's back from his class, he went for a short shower and we start our journey. When we reached the highway to Bukit Tinggi, it started to rain heavily but we still proceed to our destination.

~*~*~*~*to cut story short~*~*~*~*

The first place we visit when we reached Bukit Tinggi is this Japanese Village.

You`ll see this fish pond upon reaching the Japanese Village.

The little Japanese hut.

Scenery of the Japanese Village.

Anyway, didn't manage to take much of the scenery at Japanese Village due to the raining weather.After that, we proceed to the Colmar Tropicale,French Village.

Bidor

On our way back to Penang from our KL trip, Woofy decided to take the old route instead of the North-South Highway.

From KL, we stop by at Bidor, Perak. Its a kinda small town to me. But according to Woofy, Bidor is famous with their biscuits. Therefore, Woofy took me to this place called Pun Chun Chicken Biscuits and Restaurant Sdn. Bhd. where its famous with their Chicken Biscuits a.k.a kai chai pheng.

We bought a packet of Ham Cit Soo Biscuit (so weird 1 d name) , Heong Peah (fragrant biscuits?), kaya kok (triangular shape of biscuit with kaya paste inside) and also lou poh pheng (wify biscuit- only wife can eat...) keke...

Anyway, there are the few pictures that i took....

This is the shop.

Happy Weekend...!!!
