Woke up at 7am and I went downstairs for breakfast. Quickly took a shower and started getting ready for the trip. Left the house at 7.50am and I drove to ZS's house. It was smooth all the way to APIIT but the road to Puchong was jammed!!
Terrible crawl on the way to PuchongReached ZS's house at 8.30am and waited for AC to arrive. Five minutes later, ZS came out and we loaded our things into AC's car. ZS set up his dad's GPS and then, the three of us drove off to pick KW.

Dancing Uncle :D
After the jam, we continued our journey towards Ipoh. It was fun talking to each other in the car and occasionally throwing some insults at each other.

Groupie :)We were supposed to go into Ipoh and have Dim Sum at the famous Foh San for lunch. But due to ADRIAN'S MISTAKE, we missed the toll!! If we were to make a u-turn, it would take us another 90 minutes to reach Ipoh.
So, we ditched the idea and drove on to Kuala Kangsar for lunch at a simple coffee shop. There, I had iced barley and some kuey teow.

GPS switched to Night ModeThen, we drove to Gurney Drive for dinner. Parked at Gurney Plaza and walked over to the group of hawkers stalls. Char Kuey Teow and Rojak here wasn't good at all. Our Ais Kacang and Chendol were still okay.

After dinner, we went to "600cc" in Gurney Plaza for some milk tea. Though the coffee wasn't strong, I still enjoyed the drink. For the price we were paying, this is already very good!

We quickly drove back down and went straight back to the hotel. All of us then took turns to shower. We then used our laptops till 1am and started playing cards. loser drank beer.
