A retreat far from the trappings of a busy and highly technological modern citylife was something I couldn't refuse.

In simple English, I just wanted to escape from being anywhere near my TWO IDIOT BOXES.

Thus, I find myself spending 11-15 of Nov in Taiping... just tagging-along with some friends' for their church camp. (I'm not a Christian... hence the term tagging-along)

Oh yes, btw... HAPPY DEEPAVALI and SELAMAT HARI RAYA!!!

Anyway, among the things I enjoyed while I was there was

• taking two different trips to explore the area around the beautiful Taiping Lake Gardens;
• getting caught in a heavy downpour during our Taiping Zoo - Night Safari trip;
• playing games and watching people play games;
• meeting old friends and making some new friends

I don't quite know what else to write on this... so maybe - let's see some photos instead, OK?

Isn't the design of the Reflexology Walk just beautiful?

Some mossy-manmade pyramid stone formations

I love this view :)
