Remember the previous post i mentioned about the Christmas gathering with my old friends? Yup! We did it. A great moment with all of them. Eating, chatting and gossiping around, only for a short time, though. Well, i get to play with 'polaroid camera' which is owned by my friend. It was fun that you have to shake the film so as the film will only emerge as a coloured picture being taken. Even though the camera doesn't have the focus point, the quality of the pictures taken are good enough, though. Well, for a better information of the polaroid camera, please feel free to click the link as follow: Fuji Instax 

Here's the process of the pictures being emerged on the film :)

No. 1

No. 2

No. 3

No.4 Tadaaaa!!!

So now i think you have a better idea on what i was trying to say. Fun right? LOL! The film is about RM2.50/piece and 1 box contains 10 pieces, so overall, it's not cheap if you want to play play around. The camera itself costs about RM250, depends on the size of the film i believe. =)

That's the Fuji Instax camera! =)

Signing off for 探查过界！:p Oh ya, before i forget, pictures of the Mangrove Swamps had been uploaded, click the link to view all of them. :) Kuala Sepetang - Mangrove Swamps
Cheers!

Back to the old time, i vividly remember there was once, my primary school organised a trip to Kuala Sepetang - Hutan Bakau and unbelievably today i went there again together with a bunch of old friends! What you could find there are just forests, rivers, natural habitats and most importantly the 'Mangrove Swamps'...[No complaints about the mosquitoes bite]. Well, it was just a simple outing, though. We did have fun time there, walking under the big hot Sun and 'travelling' along the bridges through the swamps while cold jokes were made by my friend that whether could we find a human skull here. We were like.. DUH?! Hmm.. it was just a joke, and come on! How can we find those 'exotic' things here?! Meanwhile, i will share some of the photos being taken during the visit. =)

Cheers!

It is believed that there are some chalets for the travelers, just a belief and it was not usable anymore, though. =)

Standing in front of the old chalet...

Just like what we studied during the secondary school, the 'Tropika rainforest'. 

Beside the river. [Ooops.. i nearly fell down after stepping onto the mud.. =( ]

It is a common thing to visit the Charcoal factory if you ever visit the Mangrove Swamps. Despite the killing weather, we used this opportunity to get ourselves into the factory. A small factory, yet amazing!

Behind us is the place to make the charcoal, by burning the mangrove trees.

From Taiping town, we used only about 25 minutes to reach our destination. We had our lunch at Matang restaurant which was only few minutes away. Just so you know, Matang is famous of the porridge, the restaurant that we went was even visited by our 4th Prime Minister's wife before. So now you won't doubt the taste anymore. :p

My yummy porridge, mixed with fresh shrimps, fish ball and fish!

Shared by 7 person, 1 porridge 2 side dishes - RM12.70 each. Cheap cheap! :p

Day was ended after we said goodbye at the Taiping Lake Garden, thought to have gone for boat riding but the weather did not allow us to go for it. Well, another gathering to be held soon tomorrow, a simple Christmas party but i believe that its more for class gathering. =)

Meanwhile, i just realised tonight is Christmas eve! But due to unfavourable situation, I'm not able to spend the time with her. Well, happy silent night and Merry Christmas dear, and to all the people out there! HOHOHO~~
