Kampar Comeback #2


His name is J.D. Jack Daniels. Chinese name is Mou Mou. He is a poodle. He is 2 months old. He is a dog. A furry dog. Hahaha! Ever since Zero passed away, Janell, Mel and Rick(my close friends+neighbour) got themselves another dog. Isn't he uber kawaii? LOL!

Macam patung mainan aje.. He is quite hyperactive. Jumping and running all the time. But recently he contracted some flu-like sickness, might be another viral infection. Lets hope for the best and a speedy recovery for J.D.

Talking about J.D. makes me wanna have some of it now. Hahaha! Sponsors anyone?

Back to my mission of exploring Kampar, Yeah! That day, me and Rick was supposed to go KTAR to swim. But as we arrived there, we cannot go into the pool because:
1. We do not have any tickets
2. The office selling the ticket closes at 4.30, we were there at 5.30
3. We do not have any swimming caps. Wtf mou?

So, instead of going back home, I thought of going to find out the nearby waterfall place somewhere in the mountain just behind the town. We found this place, Batu Karang Recreation Park if I am not mistaken. Its a sad sad place. Satu orang pun takda. Haha! And one more thing..

So this is the pool, but something is definitely missing..

O.o

Yes its missing a lost boy in the middle of an empty pool. Hahaha! A family bringing two small kids came after that. We talked to them as well, they came just to catch some shrimps from the upstream. So we followed them.


Rupa-rupanya the water is seeping away from a breakage in the cracks between the concrete walls they made just to direct the flow of water into the pool down there. Haha! Crazy kids playing around so dangerously. The fat one even fell down and cut his knee. Bleeding yet still so happy. Tarzan material.

So nothing much we could do, we decided to syok sendiri a bit and give ourselves a sense of satisfaction, lying to ownself that we actually did jumped into a pool and swam. Great success!


Feeling unsatisfied, we decided to explore more around the town. There's a lot of small junctions that lead us to extraordinary places such as....

The WW2 fort. I can see a lot of explosion marks and destroyed buildings. It was a real battle site. I wonder would the long-gone soldiers still buried beneath this place?

After that, we moved on to the Kampar hospital. You would be thinking, why WengWai had to be so lifeless until hospital also want to explore? Little did you know, its situated up a hill and the road to go up there is freaking narrow and steep. And if anything would happen in the future, at least I know where is this place.

The Rumah Mayat along the downhill road. Not to mention, this place is quite creepy, at night I think it would be worse because the houses around there are like deserted.

It gives us an uneasy feeling being around here. From the look of this place, I would guess it was once a defensive fort last time because up here, you can really have a good view on the whole Kampar.

Coming soon, the expedition continues..
