Gopeng Town

Due to work programmes, I was at Gopeng for 7 days (plus and minus). Part of the programme was located at the dead town of Gopeng. Except for Tuesdays where the day market will be around the round about.

Probably another hip, new and happening place (no, its not a trance club) will be the museum. The owner of this shoplot/house usually will be away and don't really stay there anymore, so they sorta loan the place to be a museum which is filled with old school stuffs, specifically the jap era.

If you happen to be at that area, do check the place out. Everyone in the town seems to know where and what is it whenever you mention bout 'history' or 'places to visit'. Btw, cheap food around too.

As an added fun fact, there's a huge storage area for pirated discs somewhere in Gopeng. It was busted not long ago. Of course I read this off the newspaper, not that I accidentally discovered it.








Stuffs inside the museum:

Perhentian + Redang + Lang Tengah + Kota Bharu

It's a great trip, despite all the minor AND major flaws through out the whole package itself. Since it's a delayed post (due to huge huge amount of pics needed to be edited), I'm just gonna summarise it.

1. I thought I'm not gonna make it alive during the speedboat ride from Kuala Besut jetty to Perhentian

2. It's pretty cool that the beach is bout 20-30 feet away from our chalet

3. The twin sharing rooms are terrible, one of the worst ever. Even camping is more comfortable.

4. The corals are amazing, highly recommended. Variety of fish...just on average level (sounded as tho i'm visiting manhattan fish market)

5. Friggin cut my left toes on the corals i highly praised bout. It was also an attempt to say 'fuck' loudly underwater with my snorkelling mask.

6. Water is kinda murky on the second day of snorkelling, reminds me alot of our house aquarium 6 years back.

7. There's a reason why the price tag on the redang package is higher than perhentian package

8. I snapped over 600+ pics, mostly are burst shots which leaves us to 200+ unique pics. Only 20+ are my photography interest shots, the remaining ones are pics of my frens syok sendiri. lol.

9. Food are very inconsistent in the my resort, it can be very tasty or just plain bland from meals to meals.

10. And finally...the friggin bus broke down on the way back! Making our 8 hours ride back extended to 16! If i were to fly to L.A., i should be almost there by then. Apparently the CPU in the super high tech double decker bus was screwed, hence, the bus couldnt change its gear. Leaving us, to be 'cruising' on first gear WITHIN Raub itself. When people joke bout how walking is faster than the vehicle itself, its really true in this case

Anyway, here are the 'photography' shot I'm happy with. The rest of the snapshots are in my facebook album :)
