Sorry for leaving the blog un-updated for so long. Been really busy lately with work. But still manage to squeeze out some time to do some local travelling. 3 weeks ago, Andrew, Siewmei, Kokwai, Eddy, Sherinna, and me went up to Ipoh to do some shooting and eating. Had some very nice food from there. Guess I don’t need to intro the food from Ipoh anymore since there are like tonnes of information online already. Not gonna write much. Here are the photos. Enjoy.

Went to Kek-Lok Cave after breakfast on the Saturday morning.

The very cool thing about this cave is that this is on the other side! It’s really like in some Wu Xia novel.

Very nice wall of the rock mountain.

A place for people to walk and scream in pain.

After some walking we went to Andrew parent’s coffee shop. Kokwai here trying to show us how to make coffee.

Opposite the coffee shop is this field, and Andrew’s dad fed some noodles to the pigeons. Eddy here trying to get a good shot of the pigeons up close. Sacrificing his image. Haha.

http://lookat.my/blog | Ipoh
A lot of pigeons came and fed on the noodles.

After the stop, we continue out shooting in a more secluded place call Papan (Wood) located further from Ipoh town.

http://lookat.my/blog | Ipoh
A lot of abandoned houses can be found there.

Written on the pillar “be careful”. Spooky.

Dogs were checking us out and we were checking the dogs out.

The next morning, we went to this place opposite the famous back alley called “Yee Nai Hong” (Second Wife Alley) to have our breakfast. The custard which I was looking forward was sold out. But they still have this, tea with egg.

After breakfast we walk to the alley and started shooting.
