Assalamualaikum. As promised, here is my snap shots in Perak. Enjoy!
I went there accompanying Standard 5 students. I have been to Perak once when i was so small i couldnt remember. So, lets just think this is my first official trip to Perak.
We departed from school compound at 10 a.m, 2 buses. We went straight to our first destination, Lost World of Tambun. I only heard about it before and the name sounds good. Hence Im grateful to be there. Beforehand, we stopped for lunch at a nearby restaurant and prayed jamak qasar Zuhur and Asr prayer at a surau. The students changed clothes for swimming.

DESTINATION NO.1 : LOST WORLD OF TAMBUN
 |
| the entrance |
We checked in into Lost World of Tambun at 3.30 pm and went out approximately 3.5 hours later. This is only my second time being at a theme park, first was in Mallaca, so allow me to make some comparisons. Mallaca Wet Land is far better. The pools in Tambun wasnt so good and i dont feel like going into the water. The pool area is somewhat small and not inviting (to me). So, i just sat there and stare hehe. One hour passed and suddenly it rained. I was somehow wet too.
2.5 hours passed before i knew there was a petting zoo and amusement park behind the pool area. What a waste! I maximized the hour left by playing the thing that swirls up and down (so scary) + boarded a train to surround the place. Only then i realized there's plenty of enjoyable things at this place. No wonder the pool area is small because it accomodate many other exciting places to visit like Petting Zoo, Haunted House, Coffee Shop etc.
These are among the shots i took on the train surrounding the place.
DESTINATION NO.2 : PERAK MUSEUM
Emm, you should be well equipped with history. The most popular museum that i visited during school days was Terengganu. I went there multiple times i felt like a disloyal Kelantenese (because i've never been to its museum -_-).

 |
| in case you wanna have a peek of the inside |
I'm not sure if this is really the state stadium or if there's any other Perak Museum elsewhere because this one is so small, the size of four classrooms maybe. *oh, i forgot that the second level was on renovation mode.

| my mom lived her childhood in this era - with this type of iron |
There's one attraction point here located outside of the museum. See photo below.
|
| can you see them lining up to enter the tunnel? |
Everyone took the chance to pass through the air raid shelter and we end up getting out of the tunnel somewhere at the lower level. Forgot to snap the photo. That's it.
DESTINATION NO.3 : GUA TEMPURUNG
Last, we went to Gua Tempurung. I cant wait to see how does it looks like. We were inside the cave for about an hour headed by a ranger. this cave is over 400 million years old. Masha Allah. The ranger showed us many formations in the cave that are intriguing and scary too. hehe. It lasted until 1 p.m. Everyone is fatigued and hoped the bus will arrive soon.

| A short briefing |
That marked the end of our 2D 1N trip to Perak. Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal.
We stayed at Tower Regency Hotel & Apartment, Ipoh for a night and i love the place. It is spacious and convenient :)
*hope i could stay there longer :p
See you again and Wassalam.
