A memorable visit

I'm happy to say I've arrived home safely - from Ipoh. Without the feeling of sleepiness or nausea having it's effect on me as I type.
Throughout the entire journey, falling asleep was somehow an impossible task. I suppose it's due to being entertained with my choice of soundtracks blasting through the speakers while singing along, having to munch on tit-bits every few minutes, admiring the greenery through the windshield - also, photographing when inspirations start to bloom in my mind.

We made our way down to Ipoh to celebrate my Grand Aunt Emily's 94th birthday. She may be aging, but her heart is still as strong as ever - I'm still amazed.

When we arrived, we were welcome by Un. Noel and Aunt Christina whom led us to our Hotel- The Majestic Station Hotel. We were even lucky enough to stay in their only suite - the very same room Tunku Abdul Rahman once stayed in. A few rooms from ours was Room 300 which bought back memories of a scary movie. Whilst straight ahead, displayed a vast beautiful garden.

That night, reservations were made at some cozy steamboat restaurant where we all gathered to celebrate a very special person's birthday. By all, i mean - Un. Larry, Uncle Noel, Tennessee, Aunt Christina and the V.I.P, Aunt Emily. It's been awhile since we've gone down to visit them, so a lot of catching up was done that night.

Not forgetting, having to indulge in the much too scrumptious cake.

As dawn set in, tears welled up our eyes as we had to say our goodbyes and depart, and god knows only too well i'm not one for goodbyes, at all. I start to get emotional and all teary - which will be inevitable. Just seeing Aunt Emily made the tears harder to be held back.


I don't think it's necessary to elaborate any more further for the highlight has already been stated.

All in all, it was yet again a visit never to be forgotten.
