eh don't blame me for not updating okay.
they didnt have wireless in our rooms at cws,
so it's 3 days' worth of pictures here,
and you know how i am with my camera.
anyway.
on the 30th, we left my grandmother's place for ipoh.
unceremoniously awoken once again.
my grandmother insisted on this picture.
psst, if anyone was wondering about where my sister and i got our picture-taking fetish from,
i'm pretty sure i got it from my dad's parents.
i still think ting is damn cute :)
lil sleepy head.
i really think she and jou're related somehow.
mwaxmwax you lil ting.
i'll see you in 22 days time.
dropped by ghee hiang, a shop thats famous for their beh teh saw biscuits.
mei got a few boxes for her family as well.

one whole clan of left handers :P
daggles, moozie, me, munyi.
and poor little right hander.
parents took a short drive around town and headed for the ferry.
i think it was the first time i've ever gone on one from penang to the mainland.
as usual, mei was "scared".
on the ferry :)
so it was a 2 hour ride from penang to ipoh.
i think mei got jealous with all that attention munyi was giving the itouch or something.
finally reached ipoh, and had some lunch.
technology. tsk.
kiam chai, methinks.
pig's ears :D
bakuteh. quite the cheap lo.
it was another 30 minute drive to clearwater sanctuary resort.
thank you daddy for stopping the car for me to take this :P
though check in time was supposed to be at 2pm,
our rooms were only ready at 3. =.=
from the front, our water chalets.
and the back :)
we got the king sized bed :D
i think the room was damn comfortable lo.
gangster daddeh.
eh that couch thing was damn comfortable okay,
slept there on the last night :D
munyi, mei and cheryl*.

it's so nice and peaceful there.
like new zealand or something, just with more mozzies.
view from the poolside.
ahha my mother in my/mei's basketball pants.

kiddie pool!
m&m by the other lake.
if i'm not mistaken they have 3 lakes or something like that.
heh. reminds me of taiping.
whats with perak and the extraordinary scenery eh.
so the first thing we did was kayaking.
since each kayak seats 2 people max, mei got one to herself.
my parents. hahahahahahahahaha.
munyi and i.
we were having a great time, racing and stoning around the lake for a good hour or so,
till i spotted a BLOODY 7/8 FEET LONG MONITOR LIZARD UNDER THE BOATHOUSE.
lol mei's face when she saw it, priceless.
we got out immediately after that.
we went back to our room to change into shoes, but it started pouring so we stayed in.
watched mr magorium's magical emporium on star movies.
took a shower,
and fell asleep before dinner.
by then, a few of my dad's friends have already arrived at cws.
drove out to ipoh town to have dinner.

and trying to freak munyi out with err, hip thrusts or something like that.
woke up pretty early the next day cause we booked a boat at 8am to do some fishing.
of course, we were late.
had breakfast first though. buffet style.
lol we all looked pretty sleepy didnt we.
went on our sampan with a fishing rod and rowed our boat to the middle of the same lake.
the main reason why we all have weird tan lines now.
dr edward and ethan. :DDDD
so after sitting in the middle of the lake for about an hour not catching anything,
we decided to go back to the boathouse cause the other kids, much to mei's annoyance, seemed to have caught a few fishes there.
and yeah, we caught stuff alright :)
munyi caught 3 fishes O.o
i still want to catch a boot. like in the cartoons you know?
aww munyi, so cute.
it pierced through the eye, ewww dammit.
