Don't say we're insane, because we are truly insane! We used to meet up each other when we are having our mid-term or semester holiday, sharing some stories, talking bad things about people, crap here and there.. [Sound like i'm dating a girl?] NONOno.. He is one of my dudes since primary school. Just because he's having his mid-term holiday from S'pore, we hang out together this morning, thought to have brunch and then asked some other dudes to come out together. But who knows our plan changed to a day journey to Gerik. For those who doesn't know where Gerik is, Google it! Basically it is situated in the Perak state, Northen part of Perak and Southen part of Thailand? Perhaps.. Hmm..
So, here goes the plan. Er, my apology, no plan actually. Usually we used to say, "come lets go", that phrase is our plan. :p

We knew Gerik is not near to our hometown. Apparently it takes almost 2 hours to reach there if we drive according to the speed limit, just like some of our old friends did when they went back to their hometown during the secondary school. But we were so naive and thought that the distance wouldn't be that terrible. Our thought was proven wrong when we saw a road sign showing that we needed another 100km to reach our destination from Kuala Kangsar. Shock was our expression. But we couldn't do anything except to continue our journey. Estimated time to reach was 1 hour, which was a lot much faster than a normal driving! But our insanity led us to have a thought that we could reach our destination in 50 minutes if we made it 2km/min, which mean we had to drive 120km/h constantly along the journey. @.@!! For your information, the route to Gerik ain't a highway, it was a small road and sometimes you'll meet with double line [Dilarang Memotong]. So, ahem... our mission failed. We used 52 minutes to reach, an extra 2 minutes! That crazy driving caused a lot of chaos from our friend, especially my girl friend. She said she'll slice the driver if anything happen. :p So, we used a long time to come back to Taiping, finally. Heheee..

Well, Gerik is a small town. We only used 15 minutes to get through the whole city. But one thing i couldn't deny, despite the small size and tiny capacity, the city is so much peaceful. Less vehicles, less pollution most importantly. Even when you pass by all the aunty uncle, they'll probably know whose son/daughter are you from. @.@ But who cares right? I believe my friends who're originated from there, when they go back to their home from colleges, surely and undoubtedly they'd have the feeling of 'balik kampung'. Really. The feeling is really that gorgeous. When you pass by the small stream, when you pass by the big river, when you pass by some jungle, even a small paddy field there if i'm not mistaken, when you pass by some kampongs.. Wahhh.. you feel the fresh air! Oh well, thanks to our friend who get us the lunch which we couldn't get it anywhere else. =)
Time flies, it feels so slow, yet so fast. I close my eyes and i open again, it is already few years since we'd graduated from secondary school. I wonder if i repeat the acts, will it show 2013 in my calender? I do miss the time...

@2007, for the glory of 5sc1!

Signing off for another episode of my Hongkong series. ;p

Cheers!
