One Day Tour @ Ipoh

V had planned a 1 day tour to Ipoh after our final exam.
I used to go wv 'somebody' as this is our plan b4.
Juz forget it.
Ok, I'm going to intro u my partners along the trip by train to Ipoh.
They r Natalie, Ching Hoong n his brother, yoo~~ new member. (Her bro was afraid her sis will get lost while going bec Butterworth alone, that's y he accompanied her.) *grin*

3 of us passed a night at Nat's room n caught up wv Hoong's bro on 7th May morning at college.
Then v went KL Sentral to buy breakfast n took our train.
Here's our journey begin...

The ticket costs RM10...

During that time, Maggie called me n told me bout stuff 2 Macao. Christiana told her that Macao Uni will only accept 5 ppl 4 the summer course. Suddenly, Nat n I were upset 4 a moment, meaning 1 of us will be kicked out. Anyway, v kept hoping miracle will happen...

Stopped at Tapah...


Around 1150, v arrived Ipoh. Then v went visit the 'station hotel', which is also known as Ipoh's Taj Mahal in the early 1920's. Nat called 4 a taxi then and headed to her house. Yeah! Ipoh is surely her hometown... She became our tour guide, driving us here n there, introducing Ipoh enthusiastically, taking us 2 buy bus ticket...
