Cell Group Trip - Ipoh + Taiping

What a contented trip at the hot spring in Sungkai.

Stomach usually gets hungry after the real fun.

Ipoh, our next destination after Sungkai.

We did not really hang up around Ipoh. We were just for food basically. And the Ipoh infamous bean sprout chicken is what we're looking for.

According to Hung Kai again, the Lou Wong been sprout chicken rice as per the map shown is one of the best in town.

I have checked with my friend from Ipoh. Indeed, that's one of the best in town.

The chicken is way too oily. I felt gross when I took too much. I like the bean sprout pretty much. It is as crispy as KFC fried chicken.

That's about it. Our trip in Ipoh. Real short trip.

Next, we headed slightly northen to Taiping.

The most happening place around Taiping, I can tell is the pond area. The time we arrived in Taiping was almost evening time.

The whole town of people gathered in this place.

ah pek, ah ma doing tai chi.
people jogging.
fishing.
feed fish.
riding on the "swan".
doing photography.
...

We can't be the awkward one. We also went to the pond and hang out round.

I could hardly have a chance to walk a park in KL. It is so refreshing here.

After all, it is just a park with a huge pond. Nothing special to me.

Great place to relax, i can tell.

We grew tails.

Photobucket

When was your last time doing that?

Laying on the grass.

Photobucket

man, i really miss my time.

There's another a must visit, the Night Safari Zoo.

Photobucket

There are only animals inside. Since it was at night, they are just slightly more active than in the day.

Lion roars more frequent than you see at the Zoo Negara in KL during day time. lol.

Photobucket

Perhaps this could be my last time here. I am pretty contented and enjoy my time with these guys.

They can made me laugh my head out. Cool people in Christ.

*salute*

Cell Group Trip - Sungkai

Photobucket

Alright. First of all, he is Chris. He is my cell group leader for now.

I had my first cell group trip since the day I've been transfered to his cell group. I am no longer a student so I can't mix with the students.

Old people mix with old people around.

Oh well, it was a very random trip.

So randomly they all decided three places which are Sungkai, Ipoh and Taiping.

Am just a follower.

Not too many of us joining. There were only 5 including me which.. is a pretty good thing to me. Things get less messier with small number of people.

Photobucket

And so. Our first stop, Sungkai.

Guess, I'll need to do this in 2 parts. Part 1: Sungkai.

Sungkai is a really small town. Em, we didn't manage even to see the town yet. According to Hung Kai, there's a hot spring in this town.

If am not mistaken. The name is called Sungai Klah Hot Spring. Entrance fee for adult is Rm 10 per head.

Took us quite some time to actually locate this place.

What underneath the bridge is hot water flowing around in the man-made-concrete-river. The water temperature goes like 80 ~ 90 degree C. The water was so hot and it is actually boiling with steam rises up.

Imagine that we're under the hot sun from above and steam rises up from below.

That's freaking HOT, baby`...

Photobucket

This is another spot at the hot spring. The water temperature here is about 40 ~ 50 degree C.

Photobucket

I believe boiling eggs at hot spring is just some common phenomenon around. We follow the trend and bought 5 eggs too.

But we failed to boiled it perfectly.

Photobucket

Excuse me. That's a wrong way to boil eggs.

Kids, don't learn this at home.

Photobucket

We took some moment enjoying at the not-so-hot-hot spring. The water temperature here is around 35 degree C.

The temperature is just right.

However, Shi Hao kept on complaining that it is still way too hot.

Photobucket

Perhaps he needs some cold water.

Oh My Gosh. I name that one mini-sunway-lagoon!

Everyone went in except Xiao Bei. Xiao Bei so pathetically helped holding our things and be our camera-lady.

Photobucket

Alright. That's me again swimming around.

Photobucket

Another photo showing so much fun we had in the water. Gosh, my ampit is so ClEaN~....

Photobucket

Shi Hao and I enjoying the water-fall.

Photobucket

Until then, I guess that is it all about the Sungai Klah Hot Spring in Sungkai.
