ONE DAY TRIP
Since Tai Tau complained that my blog contains only words and words and more words.. I have decided to put in more pics this time round.
I went for a one day trip around KL, Tanjung Malim, Ulu Yam, Batu Arang and Rawang with some friends.
First, we assembled at our insurance HQ in Bandar Sri Damansara. As usual, the Group Sales Manager was late. Poor us had to wait for her.
Pretty Mom and Son
We hit the road half an hour late and arrive first at the local chocolate outlet. The girl seen in this picture is as sweet as the chocolates itself!
Sweet Lady with Sweet Passion
It seems that our beloved ex-PM, Tun Dr Mahathir loved this chocolate as it does not contain sugar or milk. Plain and simple chocolate for an extraordinary man!
Have you seen so many people in a chocolate shop at one go before?
Mad rush
After the not-so-cheap chocolates, we headed for Sri Perdana, Dr M’s previous dwelling place. I have a thing for horse too.
Horse in PM's house
Interesting place really although I don’t fancy staying in a house smelling like a museum.
Lunch was at Tanjung Malim. One and a half hour drive from KL. It was a worthwhile drive. Didn’t managed to get any pics of the food as they were being gobbled up before I even manage to take out the camera from my bag. One highlight of the dishes is another version of Buddha Jump Over the Wall, comprising sea cucumber, fish skins, shark fins, abalone, etc.
Orchid is my favorite photography subject. I lingered there to take pics till someone have to get down the bus and find me.
Orchid lah!
We went to an orchard. Have you seen this plant before? It is the dragon fruit plant and not a species of cactus!
Fruits of the Gods
“Lou Poh Peng” , a type of biscuit with red beans or green beans paste, is a famous gift to notify friends that you are to get married. Some of my colleagues and friends were surprised (or rather SHOCKED) that they got the biscuits from me on Monday. I had a lot of explaining to do. Mental note to self: Never ever give “Lou Poh Peng” to friends unless I am getting married.
Sheep yard. More like Goat yard to me. This is the highlight of the trip. Here, the goats/sheep/what-not are breed and cared for in ala-New Zealand-style environment as seen in some milk company advertisement. The owner, Encik Kamal is a charismatic man. He lectures us about the goats, the milking process, and the benefits of consuming milk, etc. he said all these with so much passion that made you wanna work there as a goat herder/shepherd.
One little goat in pale pink coater..
They have products like fresh milk (only last 14 days), yogurt and soap.
Most of us got the soap as we exchanged our views on goat’s milk on our skin. Some say, the Soong sisters used it, the famous Lady Yang (Some Chinese Emperor’s favorite concubine) used it, and I said, Cleopatra used it.
So my skin will be glowing white with radiance by the end of the sixth soap. I bought only six. Kinda regretted for not getting two dozens. It is RM3.50 for one and RM10/- for three. Vanity.
Aries or Capricorn?
Nothing completes a tiresome day other than a scrumptious dinner. We had the famous Ulu Yam’s Loh Mee (Noodle cooked in vinegar) in this restaurant. Check it out if you happened to drop by Ulu Yam for dinner.
Yummmmmmm...
All in all, we had a good day, with our bodies tired, nevertheless it was a remarkable outing and visions of goat bleating in our dreams.
