Nice trip!

Hey, guys! Long time not updating my blog. This is my first time of sharing personal expression in my blog. However, this would be a good try for me to share my story to you guys.

Few day ago, I just back from Kampar to my hometown. This trip remains for 4 days and 3 nights and the locations of trip including Cameron Highland and Penang.

For the visit of Cameron Highland, me and my friend go to there to have some picture and enjoy the mother of nature. This visit is quite haste due to the departure time to Cameron Highland was on 11:15am. Thus, the arrival time to the Cameron Highland was around 2:00pm. On the way to the Cameron Highland, we stopped by at the Cameron Highland waterfall and take some photos.

Quite a number of tourist visit this waterfall and some even have some joy at there.

The water is crystal clear and not much polluted by human activities.

Before we continue our visit, we founded a temple then we decided to have some pray at there first.

After that, both of us visit the Rose Valley(玫瑰山谷) at Tringkap. The valley not much change since my first visit on year 2005(if not mistaken).

This is the map of the Rose Valley. This valley still have plenty of rose and other kind of flowers with fruit trees too. Furthermore, it also has a small animal corner which have peacocks, chickens, and turkeys.

After that, we went to have a lunch at Cameron Highland. This is my first time to have KFC at Cameron Highland because most of the food in Cameron Highland were almost the same price as the KFC set. I will more prefer to have fast food than usual food in Cameron Highland because the price of the fast food are almost the same as usual food in Cameron Highland.

After that, we went down to the foothill of Cameron Highland because the time was quite late already. It was around 4pm during that time. On the way to foothill, we went to have some tea at Cameron Bharat Tea Restaurant(I don't know its name is true or not since we don't memorize its name). Lastly ,we went back to Kampar.

For the next day, we went to Penang. This time, our trip partners had become 4 including me and my partner thus the journey was much more fun than the previous journey. We take off at 8:30am from Kampar and we arrive there at around 12:45pm. We directly went to Kek Lok Shi(极乐寺) and visit the Malaysia's biggest Kuan Ying statue. This statue was once been criticize by some stupid blogger. This statue was marvelous and it has been listed as one of the attractive tourism in Penang.

Here are the most famous temple in Penang, Kek Lok Shi.

There are some fresco in the temple and it was quite beautiful. The most interesting part was the ceiling lamp alike as the disco ceiling lamp.

This is the Malaysia's biggest Kuan Ying statue and currently it is undergoing construction. However, we still manage to take some photos of it not from the most close distance. There are 2 ways to visit this statue. One is riding cable car and another one is driving to the uphill of Kek Lok Shi.

After the visit, we went to the hawker stall near Kek Lok Shi to have our lunch and our lunch menu was Penang Laksa. It was fantastic and quite cheap too. Even my friend who don't like to eat seafood also felt not bad of it. After we had our lunch, we went to the Penang Hill. Unfortunately, Penang Hill has been closed due to the renovation project is undergoing.

Hence, we decided to visit our next hot spot which is the Snake Temple. The Snake Temple was quite historical and we still able to see the snake live in the Snake Temple although we don't see a lot of snake at there. May be it was due to the snake been moved into the snake museum at the corner of Snake Temple. Before we leave the Snake Temple, we visit the well beside of the Snake Temple. According to the representative of the well, she said that the well will never dried up no matter how bad the weather are.

This is the main gate of Snake Temple.

The snakes are real and it is still alive. If you guys dare enough to touch the snake, then have a try and it is on your own risk.

Then, we depart to visit the Queensbay Mall and the mall quite huge compare with Seremban mall. Too bad, the mall not so crowded on that day. It might due to the weekday's period and not in the peak time. Afterward, we went to Batu Ferringhi to take some photos and enjoy the beautiful seaside for a moment.

The Batu Ferringhi's beach was quite nice and beautiful compare with the Port Dickson's beach.

Lastly, we went to our last scenic spots to have our lunch at the hawker stall which near to the Gurney Mall.

All these hawker stall are not far from the Gurney Mall and it is situated at the left hand side from the main gate of Gurney Mall. The exact name of the location is Gurney Drive and most of the locals have their meal at there too.

We have our dinner at here and the meal was Char Kuey Teow(炒果条). At last, we leave Penang and back to Kampar on 6:25pm.

Okey, that's all for today. I will keep updating my blog with more interesting stories once I have time. Thanks for reading.
