Kampar - Day 1

Let’s talk about our transport there, our bus, which came an hour late due to hurricane winds and hail storms at Cheras. At least, that was why i think it was late. But the driver gives us his lame reason which was,

“I got lost”

So we arrived at Kampar and our 1st stop was at Grand Kampar Hotel. It was like a large structure in the middle of nowhere. When you get to the hotel, you would want to look at how the accomadations are in the room and just fall dead on the bed. But no. Instead of beautiful girls giving us spa treatment in our room. We got to see this old man Tan Sri Dato’ Hew See Tong.

Apparently from the name, you can tell he’s not your average grandfather. I think he said he is in the parliament, or was. If you would ask me, he’s a friendly and informative man. So informative about Kampar that i was beginning to think that he owns Kampar from the core up. But then there was another powerful person at the scene. Mahatma Gandhi.

And some poser. Then, it was time to go to our rooms. Imagine how my face looked like when i saw this.

A room larger than the hotel lobby? Oh my eyes fell off. But why did the sexy/beautiful/pretty/bodylicious spa girls turned into Ron (Gandhi), Lawrence and Chia Pau? What a turn off. I want my sexy/beautiful/pretty/bodylicious spa girls. :-( Argh! So i thought i’ll just chill it out at the very romantic UTAR nearby.

Why romantic? To me, it’s more like a dating/outing/picnic-ing paradise than a campus. The place is built around a lake which provides magnificient waterscapes and backdrops of misty hills in the distance and and and and.. they even planted willow trees. Then it was time return to Cheras the hotel, or to be exact, its conference room for a debate session.

On the left, UCSI students representing UCSI and on the right, UCSI students too representing UTAR! wtf? Outcome? Well, let’s not talk about the outcome, cause there were none anyway. So much for all the heated debates which wasn’t that heated compared to our CS session that night after dinner. Why so heated? You’ve no idea. Maybe you’ll get some on the next update on Day 2.
