Hanging around in Titi Hayun... and Steamboat

Went to this place end of last year. Had the opportunity to hang around the same place over the weekend. Had some 'work thingy' to attend in Yan and lunch was at this place as it was only a few minutes' drive from where we were holding it.

So took some pics of the chalets this time around since the previous visit was to the 'untouched by development' area; where rubbish abound. We had lunch, picnic-style in one of the huts.

This is a man made pool that collects water is then sent cascading downwards. The water looks dirty but it's not. It's water collected from the river. Since water is everywhere I think they harness it too for daily use. Notice too that the water that comes out from the tap was yellowish in colour. Water in this area is reddish... some say because the iron content is higher here.

More pics of the area. This place is clean unlike the picnic areas which were strewn with rubbish the last time I was there. We didn't venture far as we were too tired to climb. Went only as far as the hanging bridge. No visit is complete without walking on it. LOL! While we were there, noticed some students there. A school was having a motivational course there. It's the in-thing now, such courses. Taking them away from school, putting them in such kind of place and then 'brainwash' some senses into them with the hope that they will be motivated to do something for themselves.

Came back late in the evening and did a quick 40 winks as I was dead tired. But I think I didn't even get to 40 cos it was time to go.

Night we had a makan together at a friend's place.... steamboat. And there was plenty of food.....

And mee suah... boiled and then mixed with some garlic oil.

So from the hall to the kitchen, we ate.... second and third rounds we ate. With steamboat one can go many rounds. 8) And we also moved the pots from the hall to the kitchen... LOL! By the time the stomachs were filled and we got home, it was already quite late. I still have some rum balls which Ah Ho made which I've yet to try. And Lil Gal came back with a dog which can sing!

10.42 p.m.
Tried the rum balls.. and as usual...IT'S GOOD! 8)
