Back on 15 November 2008

The DIT crew consist of Raine, Sky, Roy, Vivian, Pui Ling and William plus me went all the way down to Ipoh for Lost World. Too bad we didn't take much picture that day. We were too excited to jump into the River Adventure. Here area few pictures of the trip: 

Couple Wear? The Couple Behind Sleepy le..

On this trip it was my first time testing the car on a long distance drive. As you can see from the picture my Kenari and Sky's Myvi driven by Raine. After finally getting my extractor and bullet changed with the advice from Teik, the car has more top end power and killed the 3K-RPM-to-4k-RPM power lag. A 'cap ayam' strut bar was good enough to stablise the car on high speed. Even with a slightly punctured tyre I am able to keep the car running at 120km/h without much effort. Really a good car by a long run. So maybe KL during Christmas??

Lost World of Tambun, Ipoh

This place has caused mass confusion between my family and I. I told them I was going to Tambun which they thought was Bukit Tambun. Why do they name two places with the same name in the first place? 

About the place it was really really fun. The only problem was we went during the weekend so it was pretty much packed. Let's check out the pricing list: 

Entrance : RM 25/= 

Locker : RM 10/= (no refund)

Float (double) : RM 12/= + RM 3 as deposit (refundable after returning)

 

Though there is a package with the float, meal and "mystery gift" at RM 39.90/= (adult). It is actually more worthy if you took the package. Something we kinda regretted when we were having our lunch.

The best thing of the whole place was the River Adventure. Something you have to experience to know what it feels like it. The slides were something we didn't do cause the line was so long we refuse to wait. The system for the slides were all out. Taking turns to use a special double float to come down there were people taking it out to use it in the River Adventure instead. So they lack of floats at the end of the day. 

The environment is really fun but the pools were really really dirty. There were grass in the pool and sand and other stuff that you would think, "How did this get here in the first place?"

They had roller coaster rides and "Air Panas" pool. The Air Panas pool looks very muddy but it was really nice once you get into it. I remember Sky freaking out when she got into the hot water in the end Raine had to give her a piggy ride around it. 

Overall verdict: It would be great fun if you are going there with friends and family. But prepare to use Sun Block as you would have sunburns. You are allowed to go into the pool with t-shirts as well. Ratings: 7/10

Travelling

This is not an advertisement for Shell. My car was pumped with full tank of V-Power Racing at RM 86/=. It is about RM 2.68/= per liter. The trip all the way there and around Ipoh only used up about RM 54/=. Yes true having a RM 2.68/= petrol in your car is a bit costly since now petrol price has dropped to RM 2.00/= per liter. The V-Power fuel is very smooth and really stopped my car from vibrating a lot while in gear and idle. Then when it comes to performance it is much smoother and provides more power once you press the paddle. If you are "si bak" like Teik told me, you won't feel anything. But it is this little bit that cheers up your day really. 

Driving to Ipoh cost about RM 16.80/= one way. Return is another RM 16.80/= and the Bridge is RM 7/=. It is pretty much a cheap trip to go to. It just cost 4 person in a car about RM 22/= per person. It makes things all round fun, minus waiting for William aka "gin-na"'s uncle and aunt to come take us to their home. 

Anyway would like to thank William's uncle and aunt to come take us out of our distress lost in Ipoh. Thanks for the "Nga Choi Kai" as well! If not it would cost us, RM 56/= for the table.

A really cool trip down to Ipoh with them. It started at around 9 AM in the morning and we came back around 10.30PM. It is about 1 1/2 hours drive to Tambun, Perak and back another 1 1/2 hours. It love driving so I don't mind. Thanks Guys!!
