Yesterday was Thaipusam, celebrated by the Hindus of Perak so we had the day off. Its my 5th Thaipusam here in utp and I regret to say that I have never observed the traditions and happenings that took place during Thaipusam other than the stereotype idea that we all have of people poking themseleves with sharp objects as an act to purify the soul.
My girlfriends and I spent the day in Lost World of Tambun, a Perak version of the Sunway Lagoon. Upon arriving I realized that I left my 'bathing attire' and reluctantly had to fish out rm29.90 for a flimsy piece of tee. Bloodsuckers.
Entrance fee was rm21.90 for adults (it used to be rm21, the extra 90 cents was effective since the 1st of February) and rm16 for kids. We didn't rent the tubes, decided to play all the free stuff without the aide of a rm7 double-seated tube. It was blazing hot, decked in inches of sunblock, we braved the day!
There were 3 twirly tube ride-thingy, nothing much to it. A semi finished tube ride which we raced against each other and sought to be the one to reach the highest point of the semi-finished tube. (tqa and sara won, by the way) After that we went river trekking and were goofing off since there weren't many people yesterday. The man made beach or wave pool was boring. (Just so you know, I did not have any enthusiams to begin with when the results came out to 'a day in Tambun') The only thing I did enjoy there was the hot spring. It was nice and soothing, not too hot and it left us all drowsy and sort of drunk. Haha. We had been there for almost 4 hours in the blazing hot sun.
Pictures were taken when we were decent. The place is a really nice location for group photos. Pretty sad that this is our last semester together. The next event on the list is most likely Kellie's castle, mencuba satay di bota and perhaps an overnight trip to either penang or pangkor (again).
Final sem = holidayyyyy!!
*more pics most probably in ms.radio's entry =)

org cakap best lost tambun ni...best tak dik?? bole beat sunway lagoon tak
weyh.. cam rilek je tempat nih. org x ramai. (dalam gamba u la nampak mcm x ramai je). bagusnyerrr. takde la serabut pale hotak. dia ada resort skali ke?
kui2..havent updated my blog yet. blogger cam weng2 jer..wait later2 lah. oh btw..shall i answer mama irdina?
kalau nk kate beat sunway lagoon tu mmg tak pat ar..infact in my personal opinion, rm21.90 isnt that very much worth it for only 2 wet rides and 2 dry rides. dry rides pon tak cukup scary.
ermm but the experience and being with close friends..is of course..priceless :D
kak anna: yup, it still lacks in the rides dept klo compare ngn sunway lagoon.getting there slowly kot sbb tempat tu lapang. rather expensive if u ask me tho haha..taleh beat la.sunway gak best
el: rilek kott sbb kat perak ni byk lg tempat yg cantik2 n free plak tu like waterfalls, rivers, caves, monuments etc2..bek g tempat free dari g tambun ni, location wise la kot, sbb tu kosong je tambun. ade resort die nearby eh ke tu hotel jek, tak sure la =p
jenggs: yes tahu baru jek cek ko nye blogie, tp suda updet itu fotopages manyak cantik woo.. haha..soka soka!
