I Shot Ipoh, again.

More shots of Ipoh.

Again, a 2 weeks late post.hehe.

7th and 8th March, 10 of us headed back to Ipoh for more 'site analysis'.

1st group were AaronL, Clement, Sherman, Wen Harn and me.

Supposed to board the 6:20am train, but it got delayed till about 8am. 

Malaysian timing..sigh~
All the precious sleep that we could have gotten, all wasted.

Anyway, we slept for about an hour+ on the train and the rest of the time, we monkeyed around the train like it was no one's business. haha!

We went from one end to the other and camwhored kao kao..lol.
(FYI, it was a 500m long train. Imagine how many kilometers we walked in the train already!) 

XD




After we checked in and rested, we headed out for lunch.

The hotel lent us this 'cursed' book. haha. 
It gave us loads of problems when it came to meal time. Too many places, too much food, too little time, and no transport. 

Imagine how frustrating it was for us!

Oh, and we took public transport! The aunty on the bus was soooo friendly unlike drivers on Rapid KL buses. 

-.-"


After lunch, Sherman, Wen Harn and me went of to Excelsior Hotel to try and get panoramic shots of Ipoh's landscape.




Then, there was Ipoh Parade!

Shoes...omg..!!

I spent my one and only hour in Ipoh Parade (probably less) in the shoe section of some Thai Expo. haha..

Had to head back to hotel to meet the 2nd group - Darren, Gordon, Li Qun and Wai Sie.

Hau Yee missed the train and her super cool mom drove her all the way to Ipoh!
How cool is that?!

It rained that night, and we went to this deserted area for dinner.
It wasn't really dinner.
(it cost us about an average of RM10 per taxi, one way, and we took THREE taxis!)

There were fried chicken, friend chicken skin, fried this, fried that..

Totally unhealthy!
(Thanks to Aaron L, probably the healthiest person in the whole bunch. How ironic.haha.)

The rain finally stopped, and we went out for a walk.

=)


Zone 8 - burnt building.



(pic taken by Sherman)
Zone 5 - Lam Loo King bazaar.


Fireworks mode at Zone 5.

We got back at about 1am.

Next day, we woke up at 6:30am just to have Dim Sum.





and continued on with our 'site analysis'.




Kinta River.

Well, honestly, work was just an excuse for us to go back for more food.

We did do SOME work..but who cares..we definitely enjoyed ourselves.

=D

I like this set of photo's of Ipoh, I enjoy the way you chose to avoid the hustle and bustle of city life and depicted Ipoh to be slow, rich and nostalgic.

Gets people in a certain mood. Very nice, I like!
