Ipoh Mali

After our tiring trip to Kellie's Castle , we went to Ipoh to have our lunch at 4pm...trust me, it was very very exhausting..we decided go to Ipoh to have Taugeh Ayam :D :D..but we lost!! Non of us knew the way to the shop..so we stopped at Ipoh Railway Station for a while until Gayathri a.k.a Colgate Ambassador to call her friend to find out about the way to the shop..while they were doing that, I was taking some snaps...







Have you ever wonder how Ipoh got it's name? Last time, I asked my fren, he said, long long time ago, one British fellow was eating lunch for the first time in Ipoh and when he was eating it , one big housefly was flying around him ,,he got so annoyed,so he asked his butler ( an indian ) to chase away the big monster housefly.. first he tried to sing a song from MGR movie , but didnt work, then he screamed at the housefly Eeee ( which means Housefly in Tamil ) ,,Pohhh ( Go away)..and he was kept on saying it Eee Pohhh ,,,Eee Pohh ,,Eee Pohh,,until the housefly flew away..the British man was so impressed with his butler and he screamed loudly " This is Ipohh!!!"...............I believed this story for 30 years...until I saw this tree






it's called Ipoh tree, they named the town by this tree!!! what the hell...what about the story my fren told me??????
