On the last tue,
mdfc-ians headed ipoh for a get fat trip....
and it all start off late... all thanks to .... me....*feeling bad now*
it was being set at 5 am (where i was thinking that they purposely bring forward the original time, 6 am, so that to accomodate the late comers; which i was wrong... call time at 5 am....)
Hence, at 5, i was practically rushing off to ms sharon's place to pick her up and gather at monash,
with all effort, we manage to make it at there by 540 am... (sry guys)
All and all the trip started off with a safe start where we were leaded by reuben...
as he is very obedient and virtue driver who drives by the law...
seeing that we still hv quite a distance to cover...
i took over the lead after about an hour time....
we took a break at one of the rest stations
and from there only i got comment from them....
" Alex, you are driving too fast edi... somewhere arnd 140..."
i was kinda surprised too when they told me....
as i was thinking i was driving at 130 km/h only...
( why do i not know how fast am driving?)
its because the meter of the car i was driving was spoilt
the meter was only at 70km/h.... while they were tailing me....
guess that u dun really realise how fast u r going when u are on the highway..... XD....
As we 1st reached the destination...
we head for the famous fu shan dim sum (富山点心)......
i hv no idea at all... since i hv no idea how is ipoh actually....
and here are some of the pics....
Here destination No. 1 -- Foh San
The utensils
after shoving down lots of the dim sum....
i only felt so so with the dim sum...
The ha gao （虾蛟）
Fish Balls
(This is good.... very awsome)
Seaweed Spring Rolls
Siu Mai (烧卖)
Egg tart... ( This is good.... highly reckoned....)
its not as great as described.... ( maybe its my tounge or taste preference?)
things like the carrot cake and the pao... its not that nice....
however, there is one upside.... its portion is large... all dishes
but was impressed with the how charges go....
they charges 30 cent for each glass of ice...
and u were thinking to get a piece of serviette or tissue...
u hv 2 buy one packet of it... great huh?.... nonsense....
but the renovation was nice.... the interior was classy and nice....
but the service there also so so la... not as super as expected from a classy place....

After the hearty meal,
we head off to the next stop,
tau fu fah shop... (yes eat again... what do u expect? its a get fat trip....=P)
but on the way there we get to see quite some awesome stuff....
like the really old motel which is still up and running....
Yup, was quite impressed with it....
a shooting outside the dramatic association
some Nazi sign that we found on the way....
"All hail Hitler....."
After a gruesome walk,
we manage to conquer the streets and reached the 2nd destination,
where we hv tau fu fah....
lets let the pics do the talking....XD
The texture of the tau fu fah here is good.... its fine and smooth.... awesome!!!!
One of the artilce that made us laugh....
Do tau fu fah taste like sth else??? i wonder......XD
enlarged view of pics... do click on it....XD
And guess what is next...?
u got it... its eating again....XD
what are we eating? custard, with pork satay as side dish... (yup u heard me right... PORK satay)
its all in this small shop....
thean chun.... famous for their custard...
*seriously the custard are good*
Looking at it also makes u drool right?
*beware its very sweet* XD
top left : pork satay!!!! (not kidding) ; top right : miss shron enjoying her custard

last but not least we head for the last stop of food station,
we went bidor to get some of the local snacks to bring back....
and the salted chicken there is awesome... great stuff.... thx for the reckon lorence... its good....
here are some of the art work of the shops....
正中猪头饼，吃了会变猪头吗？
Lastly, we head for the de-fattening place.....
sungkai.... in attempt to burn the fats we gain from the earlier half of the day....XD
using the hot spring water.....
it always never fail to ammuse me on the sign board to head for this place,
as it is indicating we are heading for TRAP (Taman Reakasi Air Panas).....lol.....
in the place i get to meet zi hang....
a coursemate back from ausmat... (small world huh? =D)
he was there with his colleauge for a trip just like us.....
however can't really do much catch up with him as we were rushing off back then....
hope to see him soon again....
and here are the parts that are not that boring....
pictures.....XD
Group Pics....XD
One of the bursts shots...
Not to mention the experience we have trying to cook ourselves in the 40++ degrees hot water...
where they were saying, guys get in to get their balls cooked...XD
also, miss sharon kinda freaked out when i showed her the famous algae which she thought was a slimy creature that i was holding at....
the algae at there are known to be very well cosmetics to help smoothen the skin, as it is all living in high temperature, there will be no bacteria that are harmful when u are applying it on the skin like lotion; only the rich nutrient of the algae will be going into ur skin, giving u baby skin after it.
(true or not i am not sure.... go and try it out and tell me....XD)
however, as we were leaving it downpoured so heavily,
that if we gone out without umbrella, surely we will be soaked....
lucky for us, we manage to get a few of them to get out of the place....
as the rain subside,
thinking that i could just head out without umbrella,
i quickly head towards the car under the small drizzle,
guess what, by the time i took my 3rd step out of the hut,
the rain started to rain heavily again....
tough luck huh? XD
lastly, it was a race back to Monash from sungaki as all of us already roughly hv the idea how to go back.... but it was raining heavily, hence we were all driving at moderate speeds,
as always, safety first....
as we reached back at subang,
we gathered to hv dinner b4 heading back home,
and that night,
ivan seriously cracked me up with the jokes he had that night,
combo-ed with ken's... i was totally knocked out..
was laughing so hard that i cried.....(it's been a while i laughed till i cried)...
mainly the whole night was going arnd ivan making the disney classic mucis piece to sth naugthy by just changing one of the words of the song....
and the song actually turned to be sth really wrong....
for example... a whole new world in alladin,
try change the word eyes with dress....
and u will see how the whole thing changed....
eg " i can open ur eyes, take you wonder by wonder" to
"i can open ur dress, take u wonder by wonder"
and as the song progresses... u can see.... try it...
under the sea ==> under the skirt
kim possible theme song... didn't even need to change..... he juz add on expression when singing the song... and it juz went way off from the innocent world of disney....XD
thats should sums up everything....
better head off to bed now....
nitez....
