After a great night sleep at my mom's hometown, it's time to head back home again.
But before heading directly back to Selangor, we made a detour and went to Kuala Sepetang to try out a curry mee which my mom said was highly recommended by a friend. But when we arrived there at 12pm, it was still closed so we ate laksa from a random shop which is kinda nice too. Then we walked around and I found out...
Kuala Sepetang is Port Weld! I don't remember exactly what Port Weld is but I remember it's something related to Sejarah. According to my mom it's something to do with 'lombong' since this KTM used to connect to Taiping and the whole Perak state is famous for it's mining activities during British occupation =)

We also tried out Malay Prawn Mee but it does not suit our taste buds. It contains too much ketchup and taste kinda like Mee Rebus.
After an unsatisfactory meal, my uncle brought us to a mangrove swamp. Sadly, it was very badly maintained. Some parts of the boardwalk collapsed and badly replaced by flimsy looking pieces of wood. Fearing the kid's safety, my dad decided to turn around and not finish walking through the whole boardwalk.
There were chalets beside the boardwalk too but I think no one ever stayed there... Sigh. If that place was maintained better and has better advertising it would be so much better...
Boardwalk.
Since it's a mangrove swamp it's located near the river. A very muddy dirty looking river.
I felt really close to nature then and I guess it impaired my judgement because I have this really strong urge to jump into the river eventhough the water looks disgusting. But of course I didn't jump in in the end =P
Camwhoring with cousins. The wind was strong (Explains the baldness) and the sun was strong (Explains the small slit like eyes)
=) Love clouds.
Me emo cannot jump into the river. But I still manage to touch the swamp water. Hey, it's clean enough to support life! I saw tiny fishes swimming in it =D
After that short trip to the swamp, we went to Taiping and bought the Mi Gu my mom wants. Mi Gu is a pink colour sweet bun which is usually put on the prayer altar (Sorry I'm not sure what is it called >.<) Yummy bun =D
Head home after that... I slept for 2 hours in the car but I woke up even more tired than before I slept =.=
And that concludes my kampung trip!
