Ipoh

About 200km north of KL, is a city that is almost halfway if you travel between KL and Penang (about 350KM north of KL).

While the night was done spending watching a local production of Hairspray, the next day was spent attending  church service and wondering around Ipoh's most famous buildings...

And yes, this particular church is a predominant Indian community church. Hence, Tamil writing.

It's exterior. I'll let you guess where it is, but it's situated in Taman Silibin.

And now, possibly the most famous building in Ipoh. And an almost identical twin of KL's old train station...
More pictures at the bottom of this post.

The infamous Death Railway.

There's quite a nice little park at Ipoh's Station. One that we decided to spend some time with...

And across the road is annother colonial building. As one can see, well restored. Great to see all these here...

More time at the park

The picture says it all.

You should be able to guess what this is all about... :)

A walkway in the corridor leading to the entrance of the station.

The End.

Hairspray - A local version done in aid of charity in Ipoh, November 2011

We are were here to watch Hairspray, a musical that we had the opportunity 1 year earlier to watch live whilst we were in Melbourne. While that one was a professional production, this one is ... a local one and of course, with very limited budget.

But 1st, as this was a charity thingy, it wasn't all about Hairspray. There was ... another performance before it. And so, I'll entertain you with fairies prancing around ...

 Don't ask me what's it all about, coz I've forgotten!

 Ooooooh... and here comes the baddie.

 Why is it that the bad guy always gets more prominence? Guess secretly, everybody wants to be bad?

 And the end...

 And here we start. Good Morning Baltimore and hello Tracy.

But actually, we were here for one reason: To support our friend. Care to guess who? :)

 Move Amber!

 Just so like Link!

 This was a really cool shot. I was more excited over the shadows than them! ha ha

 Still can't figure out who the camera is following the most? :P

Hey momma, hey... with Mr Pinky!

 Another great shadow shot.

 Oh Link... you set so many hearts abeatting ... :D

 And made many jealous...

 Okay okay. Coming to the end. It's time for Miss Teenage Hairspray competition.
