2009 family gathering - 1st day Taiping

It is on the 6th June 2009 and I woke up at around 7am, raring to go already .... then only realized had to wait for both my sisters Winnie Gan and Jo Gan families to start their journey from their respective location ie. Johor Bahru and Mentakab. Myself and my brother Dennis and his son, Wei Han already get ourselves ready, Dennis spouse, Penny already start her journey to Pulau Pangkor (company trip).

By noon, we started our journey to Taiping (1 night), I am driving this time (hooray clap clap clap). On the way, we thought of stopping by on Bidor to had the famous noodle but had to make a diversion as it was jammed and ended in a restaurant nearby (can't remember the name). After lunch (around 3+pm) we continue our journey and reach Taiping around 5pm. After resting then we adjourned to Taiping lake for evening walk ..... wow it is humid and a lot of cars and peoples moving around. Dinner time, we went for "Chicken shredded noodles", wow a lot of people.

DJWM .... and not Do Re Mi Fa

At night as the children is growing up , we went to McDonald to had take away. on the way back we almost lost our way but still manage to reach the house that we rent for a night.



Next morning after breakfast we adjourned to Taiping Zoo.

Resting at the centre of the zoo .... so hot

Around 11am we went back to our rented house and clean up ourself. We check out around 12.30pm and adjourned to one of the Top Ten Chicken Rice in Malaysia. Need to wait for about 10 minutes for a table for 13 of us. It is truly mouth watering and value for money. If I remember correctly it is around 1.45pm, we started our journey to our next destination ie. Pulau Pangkor.

Cheers.
