from kampar with love

okay la, i gotta admit, KAMPAR is not that bad lar..after more than 5 years of verbally abusing this small district, i finally admit la, kampar is a nice place. 

For the 1st 17 years of my life, i always thought very little of kampar. i mean, to me, its just the place that comes after Gopeng. No big deal. Then, in 2005, i met Dalwinder Kaur Dhillon and all she could talk about was kampar. kampar this, kampar that, kampar has this, kampar has that.. she even did an oral presentation about how developed is Kampar... ( i think the whole class poked fun at her on that day, even Mr.Hussein said : ' Dalwin, kampar is a dead town.' )  

Well, to my fellow TEYL friends and Mr.Hussein , Kampar is definitely not a dead town...( but is kinda of kubur-ish la, got alot of cemeteries, strewn across the mountains, huhu ). 

Kampar, is one of those small towns that has a rustic appeal..sort of laid back and peaceful. yeah, its not as 'meriah' as KL or penang but it has its own charms...the lakes, the mountains and the low lying clouds  paints a beautiful scenery and the UTAR campus was a sweet reminiscence of UUM. and  to all the foodies out there,  Kampar serves one of the BEST claypot chicken rice i have ever tasted. i am claypot junkie, so u betta believe me when i say its good.some of u might think i am biased and just saying this to please my Kampar host/tour guide, but its true.. u gotta go to kampar to noe that i am telling the truth....

PS : people, kampar is not so ulu aso...gt nice hotel la. Grand Kampar !
