the great trip

am having a hard time keeping my eyes open for the day.feel the need to stick it up with toothpicks !

wait a minute, i thought i had enough hours of sleep the night before, as soon as i got myself cleaned up, i landed my tired self on the bed.. and try to doze off. it took me a while to doze off, and not to mention interrupted by phone calls and texts coming in. finally at 11pm, i think, i was carried into dreamland.. just that i didn't have any dreams.. not any that i can remember of.

It was a great trip yesterday, and we all had fun fun fun ! The jolly group consisted of Lay Yen, Yi Ling, Neil, Amy, Amy's boyfriend, Jo Lyn, Court and myself. We went to Bentong in 2 cars, Lay Yen's and Amy's. Mom and Dad went back as well. Being early risers, we left KL at 7am, and got there at 8+. The whole idea was to experience the nice and cooling weather in the morning. We had breakfast at SHL, more well known as Song Hee Lau, but i guess they want to be in the MNG trend as well, thus the nama glamour. The dim sum was so so only, but dad paid for it ! yay. so let's say thanks beramai-ramai. :P

Brought them to the Bentong market and pasar pagi for a quick look before heading to uncle's house. Dad was there, waiting to lead us to uncle's orchard in Karak. Sempat lagi we shop a bit at the market, bought candies and some pretty looking cakes. Yi Ling bought some yam flavoured cake rolls, which porous texture reminds us so much of wristbands ! hehe. will put up the pic later for you to judge.

Made our way to Karak at bout 9.45am, and was there in bout 15 mins? this time the road wasn't that hilly, so Lay Yen's car could go a little faster! hahaha
Dad had to ferry us into the orchard in his X-Trail, as the road leading to the orchard was very muddy and full of bumps. Was dropped off at the path halfway past the main gate of the orchard. The fruit fiesta started as soon as we reached the small hut in the heart of the orchard. There were mangosteens and durians. We hiked up the hill to look for more durians, and of course we left the road not taken for Neil. It was a bit too adventurous for us. After bout 2 hours of fruity time in the orchard, we made our way back. again, dad will have to bring us out, of course.

On the way back to grandma's house, we did not miss the opportunity to ta pau kopi ping from Leong Yew. yum ! nothing like a sip of cold kopi ping to cool us down on a hot day. Back in Grandma's house, and everyone was looking forward to conquer the rambutan tree. poor tree, it was half botak when we were done. or should i say when he was done with it.

Had late lunch at "tai cheong" ( well, that's the name i was told). Had my fav yin yong, and it was yum ! after finishin our noodles, we changed our mind about having dinner in Kepong.. cos we were way too full already! Still, some people had room for Kowpo ABC. hehe..

Made our way back to KL and reached home bout 9pm, Lay Yen still has the important duty to send Yi Ling & Neil home though. haha

all in all.. it was a great trip.. and we all have a great time !

the question now is , when's the next trip?
