Random Visit to Teluk Kumbar

I got a friend living at Teluk Kumbar, on last semester I used to fetch her home after class. Well, she is my primary school mates and also my local friend too. After dropped her home, I went to Teluk Kumbar seaside to take a look for the beautiful scenery.
I wonder that the little seaside estate was well developed as the modern living housing estate called as Sunway Aspera. The houses at there were directly faced to the sea and in front of that having a service road which can see the seaview and enjoy the sunbath too...
The pretty seaview of Teluk Kumbar. You can view it widely at here. Better advice is come during sunset, because the sun is really bright, perhaps you can snap some photographs of sunset living too! :D
The developer Sunway Properties has planted the conifer plants at the sea side and tends to make it as a little "Gurney Drive". I liked the environment there which you can witness those fishermen how they capture the fish and you can even buy the fresh raw seafood from them. There is also famous for fresh raw prawns!
I snapped myself before I left the beautiful place which near to my hometown. I hope this place is not over developed and the fisherman jetty should maintain and the kampung village should upgrade as well. The friendly people and the pretty environment especially beautiful sandy beach should be maintained! I Love Teluk Kumbar, do you? Posted by GenYong 29.11.2012

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?

Taiping-Sitiawan-Ipoh One Day Trip (Part 1)

Last month, I was so glad to have many celebrations with family. There were my birthday, family trip and many more. I will try my best to blog out soon later. Well, on 1st September 2012 it was a replacement holiday for National Day. I was requested day off on that date and planned an outing with family.


#1 Taiping the Heritage City
We were out from house in the early morning around 5 or 6 something and travelled along the North South Highway to reach Taiping. Actually our destination is to the Seaside Tua Pek Kong Temple at Pasir Panjang, Sitiawan.
#2 Had my breakfast - Dried Koay Teow before we moved on.
It was a long way from Taiping traveled to Sitiawan. It was like a different town from Taiping or Ipoh city. It is located at the district of Manjung which not well developed yet like Ipoh City. We traveled along the estate and on the way there was a lot of trees and forest but there was really few cars. Along the way, I can see the view of kampung.
#3 After the 2 hours journey from Taiping, we finally reached that place!
#4 The statues that set up in front of temple was so huge and cool.
#5 There was a kids fun park inside the temple area too.
#6 Behind the temple there was a place for people to take a rest and maybe buy for something. An advice to you, if you want to buy those Perak popular items, buy it other place because the price at there is a bit expensive.
#7 Here come the classical temple of Tua Pek Kong.
#8 The four statue of the God in front of the temple entrance!
There were crowded of people inside the temple. As many of them were visitors like us. From my grandma, this temple was founded long time ago by the villagers by the sea and recently there was a Singapore investor getting a good luck from the Tua Pek Kong in this temple and as the rewards back he donated a big amount of money to rebuild and renew the temple and turned it into the another tourist spot at Sitiawan.
#9 The nice scenery can be captured behind the temple. It was so nice!
#10 It is a pond which full of fishes.
#11 The beautiful and natural look of the pond.
#12 I am in action with my new hairstyle in front of the nice scenery!
#13 My sister in action with her chubby face! :D
Alright I think the first part I will end here and stay tuned for the Part 2 coming up soon. In next post, I will continue blogging about this temple and also the trip to Ipoh. Check it out... Posted by GenYong 10.10.2012
