Taiping-Sitiawan-Ipoh One Day Trip (Part 2)

Well, let's continue from the previous blog post. The beautiful pond is actually artificially made for the pretty view of the temple. It was so nice and really a good place to relax your mind after visiting the temple. I don't know why there will so hot at the area compare to my hometown Penang Island.

#1 The pretty cool statues set up there with the watering system. It was so nice!

#2 If you visited there before, you will know this funny action of the statues.

#3 Viewed from the other side of the pond.

#4 My sister acting like the statue there! Nice and cool.

#5 Here come my turn to shot with my zodiac sign. I am dog in my zodiac! Born in year 1994.

#6 Amitabha... My sister on the screen! :D

#7 There was a lot of statues there. Each one with different action and they look interesting and attracted a lot of people have a photoshoot there.

#8 Yes it's my turn! Acting cool like having something! Follow the action of statue :D

#9 My turn to show in Amitabha action... Wish everyone have a good health and good wealth!

#11 The artificial cave created and inside having a god for people to pray.

#12 The most interesting statues and it seems like a classic china story of playing chess beside a pond.

My sister and I was standing under the hot sun just to take more photos as we can because that place was extremely nice! If you're in Sitiawan, you should visit there.

Posing in front of the huge statue of Tua Pek Kong before we back. This was my first time see a huge statue found in Malaysia. I can't imagine how they create this when building this temple, it needs a lot of efforts and time to build it.

The last shot with statue before we leave.

The family group photo under the huge Pek Kong statue and I wish to be here again soon!
*As a hint to all parents, it's good to be here because as you can wish for the 4D numbers from Pek Kong and maybe it will be come true. xD

Traveled 2 hours of journey and we finally reached Ipoh in the afternoon! Here come too the Ipoh New town. We actually want to pay a visit to Kellie's Castle in Batu Gajah but too bad we couldn't find it and my dad just said next time ba. So after reached Ipoh, we quickly find something for lunch.

#13 We were not having the famous bean sprouts chicken there but we having the famous chicken rice there. When I was working in Ipoh, my boss brought me here to have the lunch before back to Penang. That's why I brought my family here again and it was so delicious!

After lunch, I called my dad drove us to Station 18 which is just a few kilometres away from the Ipoh New Town. I was worked there previously for a week and it was so fun when working at outstation! Click here to read more about my working experience there.

La Kaffa coffee outlet in AEON Station 18, Ipoh. Located near Popular Bookstore.

They are my previous colleagues. That time they were still new in La Kaffa, and now they are even better than my skill on making a good coffee! Well done.

Visit my colleague Ah Chyn who is also the present supervisor there. She is the friendly girl and can talk non stop with a really friendly way with you. xD

Around 6 something in the evening we started to leave Ipoh. I was glad to have a family trip like this! I wish there will have more family outing to other places out of Penang. Well, I planned to visit Ipoh and Kampar on this coming November with my friends. Hopefully the plan can be true on that time! So what do you think about the town of Ipoh?

Penang is a great place, besides having a nice beach in Batu Ferringhi. There are also a few Green Spots for the citizen. One of that is the largest Park in island, which called Botanical Garden. Inside the Botanical Garden there are having a lot species of plants. Citizens usually will spend their weekends evening having a jog or a walk there for being exercise themselves.
