CNY 2011 came, and in a few days time, will officially be over. This year, we went back to Kuantan as usual, and we had a rather quiet CNY – not as much visiting nor visitors as in previous years.
We hit the beach twice, on the first and third day of CNY. Yiu Yiu really enjoyed having the waves splash onto her, while mei-mei was content just playing sand by the beach.

On our second trip there, I brought mei-mei into the sea but she didn’t quite like it. So back to the sand she went.
On the fourth day, we drove back to Ipoh. We would typically cut through Gohtong which exists at Kuala Kubu Baru and we would enter the North South Expressway in Tanjung Malim. However just the night before, hubby’s friend suggested that we try using the Bentong – Cameron Highlands way, which is supposedly faster. I was against it as hubby wasn’t sure exactly where to access that road, and we wouldn’t know for sure where we’d end up at. Anyway, the East Coast-Karak highway started to crawl right after the Temerloh rest area, so hubby decided to take a chance by using the new route – BAD decision – as we ended up reaching Ipoh after EIGHT freaking hours. The Gohtong way would normally take us 5.5 – 6 hours, but with the terrible traffic on that day (we were tuned in to the trafiic report, and it repeated reported the terrible crawl at Bentong and Karak highway), we couldn’t really be sure either.

I think Yan-yan will enjoy the wave more if che-che plays with her in the water??? My G was scared too when we first brought her to the beach and let the wave splashed onto her but after a few minutes she warmed up to it.
