Road trip: KL - Cameron Highlands - Kuantan Part 1

hey :>

So, on a random after-study-supper session, Tai asked "Anyone wanna go on a road trip to
Malaysia?" Zitt and I were really spontaneous, so we tagged along with NUS motoring club's road trip to Malaysia :>

DAY 1
Kuala Lumpur
Blastacars

Our first destination was KL. It took us about 5-6h to reach KL, including rest stops along the way. The first thing we went for was Blastacars. It's a place where we got to do driftkarting which was rly fun :> I've added think link of the website so you can check it out!:> The price ranges from 50RM-100RM, depending on the level you are playing, and whether you come in a huge group or not. So preferably come together with your friends to be able to enjoy the group discounts! :> The area was quite inaccessible, especially when we took the wrong road in and went to the muddy terrain. There was actually another road that was paved LOL.

The level we got was Intermediate, for 60RM. The truth is, the levels are the speed of the car, and it is set using a button on their remote. I really don't think it's worth it to pay so much for their advance speed :<

We had to watch a safety video in a small room before being able to drive.


And IT. WAS. RLY. FUN!!!

Although the circuit was quite small, it's really really really exciting to keep trying to drift, and failing, and trying again. I even crashed into the sides of the circuit LOL but luckily they are filled with tyres :> Personally, I felt that I can't ride this twice or else the thrill would be gone. And it's quite expensive even after conversion!

Headed to a car mechanic to get the cars checked for a while before going to our hotel to check in and dump our bags there :>

Concorde Hotel Shah Alam
Checked into Concorde Hotel which made me stunned?!?!?!?^&
I didn't know we were going to be staying in a 4 star hotel and I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED :> hehehe the rooms were HUGEEE and we got an extra bed since there were only 2 beds in the room.

Dinner was at a restaurant serving pork knuckles and zi char which was awesome <3 I really didn't know what was pork knuckles until it actually came ._. HAHAHA oopsies! But it was really delicious :> Since we went there around 8 plus, we were the last few customers there cause it was closing alr (can't believe it was closing?!?!) OK maybe cause we ate damn slowly lol.

The trip started off with a few problems but day 1 was amazing and I was excited for the upcoming days :>

Car buddies!

DAY 2
Cameron Highlands

The view from our room was AMAZING

Breakfast in the hotel was A W E S O M E???
The buffet was served really well with many different kinds of dishes, and they even have the special kinds of cheese, pastries, cooked eggs, american breakfast, yoghurt... We were totally spoilt for choice and ate a really filling breakfast before hitting the road to Cameron Highlands.

got bubble gum!!:>

Everyone was late so we left the hotel at around 12pm. I really have no idea why but the road to Cameron Highlands was loooooonnnnngggg after taking so many breaks in between ._. We reached Cameron Highlands at around 8pm and we were all starving. The road up the hill was really exciting and thrilling at the same time cause it was just a one lane road with no lights at all, and there were many blind turns with no safety mirrors for us to look out for and it was daaaarrrrkkkk -.-

Yeap partly cause it was raining :<

the roads were pitch black

Dinner was delicious but maybe cause everyone was starving but lets just say it was good :> (zi char again)

Nova Highlands Resort and Residence
Our hotel was a short distance away from the 'main area' where the night market is at, and it seemed really new as the carpark was still being renovated.

road back to hotel

Really love times in the room when you can just chill and talk cock and just do stupid stuff like trying to dry your hair using 2 towels which doesn't work at all.

Part 2 will be out soon! :>

Luv, Tingz
