Ipoh

As some of u all may know, James and I did a quite sudden and random trip to Ipoh 3 days ago. Hehehehe. I like the idea of "suddenly". Hehehehe. It was quite..... random and not really planned properly. But, walaupun we didn't plan on where to go or wat to makan or wat to see, we actually had a superly great time!! = D And it's all thanx to the hostess. We stayed over at The Wong's and hehehehe, i (i dunno bout james la) had an awesome time with them. From the 1st day till yesterday. So sad that we have to go back home but it HAS to happen sometime also.

Hmmm... If u dun mind reading, I dun mind sharing. Hehehe.. Cause, I wun be uploading any photos. Why? Cause I tak da camera yang canggih ma.. X P Hahahaha.. (hint hint, nee nee.. X P) And btw, this post serve as a journal for me, actually. = ] hehehe.

On our 1st day,

I arrive early kat James place and kacau him from his tidur lo. He went back to sleep again and I still kacau him. Hehehehe.. So fun to kacau him actually... If u wanna know how and wat I did, hehehehe, ask me personally... X P
Then, after he bangun and wash up d, we went to have some breakfast with The Chongs at Jia Jia? I'm not sure where actually.. = X hahahahahaha... After breakfast we go to sentral lo. Little did we know, we're actually on the WRONG bus. The bus still heads for Ipoh but, actually, that bus that we boarded was the 10a.m bus. @.@ How awesome is that? Btw, our actual bus was the 9.30a.m 1. X D Hahahahaha. But hor, we were not completely at fault k? We arrived at 9.30a.m and I saw that there wasn't any bus there. Assuming that the bus is not there, we went toilet lo. Came out of toilet, wait awhile, ta-daaa... the bus came. So, the driver said

"IPOH IPOH IPOH"

and so, we just went up lo. That time, it was 9.20. We thought, waaaa.. We soo early. Hehehe.. Efficient... But then, the bus tak jalan. Till 9.45 like dat, 1 uncle came up to us and he was like

"Encik, ini tempat duduk ada orang punya"

And his muka was like pissed cause we were at his seat. I mean, if someone was at mine also, I wouldn't be happy la. But, wat's with the attitude? T.T goodness... Haihhh.. I tot Ipoh was going to be ruin. I was like "belum sampai ipoh, this stuffs happen d... TT.TT". So, we sat in front for awhile. Then, I went down and ask the bus driver lo. And when I showed him our tickets, he was like

"Eh, apa ticket nie?"

At that time, I knew we were already in the wrong bus lo... Then he took our tickets and went to the counter and ask lo. Awhile later, a man came and told us that we were in the wrong bus. But, he was nicer. Compared to that grumpy old passenger... Pfffftttt.... = ( That man who came and told us that we're in the wrong bus, let us stay on that bus. @.@ So nice of him actually. Hehehe.. So, we were on our way to Ipoh. = D Wooo-hoooooooooooo!! The trip begins!!

When we reached KL (yeah, it's a transit bus), there were complications and we thought we were about to be kicked off the bus. Since, we're both like illegal passengers.. = X But, fortunately, we were not.. Long story bout that.

While on the way to Ipoh, there was this old man behind us (probably in his 60s or 70s d), who had this super cool ringtone. Which I'm not sure wat it is but it was...

T E C H N O ! !

@.@ I actually didn't know that the ringtone belong to an old man till James "waow"-ed. Hahahaha.. And btw, the ringtone was super clear and loud 1. Must be some rich old man.

Then, when we reach Ipoh, we were picked up by Sally's mummy. She's really one of the coolest mum ever. = X Hahahaha.. There were a couple of incidents. She dropped us at a place where they serve really really nice and cheap yong tau foo. And seriously, the place there was suuuuuuuuper nice. The yong tau foo there all BIG BIG 1. Ate more than I could handle actually. And we had their ice blended red bean drink. Which was also, really good. @.@ In malacca we have coconut shake, in Ipoh they have blended red bean. Trust me, when u go to Ipoh, this is one of those things that u MUST try. = D I tried and I like it alot.

After that, Super Cool Auntie came and pick us up again and oohhhh waitttt... I forgot to note down something... Hehehehe. We met up with Amelia Tan as well. Hehehe. A really nice girl. She's also an Ipoh lang. = ] Thank you, Ame for guiding us around.

Alrite, back to story. After Sally's mummy came and pick us up, we went and beli some tau foo fa from Funny Mountain. @.@ Cool name rite? And seriously, that's the name of the shop. Tau foo faa was quite sweet actually. But alrite la. Hehe. We bought some kaya puffs also (i think). And super cool auntie walked the wrong way. X D hahahaha. Then when she realised, she walk back the right way and smiled. X D hahahahaha.. So funny and cooool.. = ]

After that, we got back to The Wong's Palace. Their place was really really nice and warm. I remembered James complimenting their home. = ] So nice. Hehehehe.. Finally, 3/3. = P
We talked to Sally's daddy for quite some time till her mummy came back. Hehehe. If she didn't stop us, I think, we could talk and talk and talk summore. Got to know alot of stuffs. About his trip to myanmar, his bestman, some stuffs bout Ipoh, and lots more. = ] Hehehehehe. Very.... educational.

Then, we lepak lepak abit with her siblings for abit. = ] That was fun. Hehehe.. Then, after that, we sent Jia Wei to tuition (apparently, auntie doesn't know Jordan). James drove, I just... cheer him from behind. X P After that, we went to have some dessert at the place where there are lots of dessert stalls. We makan some duck leg. Pretty good stuffs. One of those stuffs that u MUST try if u're visiting Ipoh. Oh ya, before that, we actually ate Ipoh's hor fun... Good stuff. MUST try also. X D Had some good laughs there also.

Sweet potato. Yummmmms

I'm not sure, but I think this is Lai Chee Kang?


Sally and her mum's ABC


Amelia's ABC. @.@


Duck leg wrap

The Awesome Soft soft Chicken


Fat Fat Taugeh not so Fat d.


Nice hor fun. Sally pro take picture. See see, got steam 1. @.@

After some food, we actually visited the train station also. @.@ The train station is really a nice place. The buildings all look sooo cool. Macam some white mansion. We actually, went there just for the toilet actually. Hehehehe. Tak tahan. T.T Soooo much water d. hahahahaha. And after we finish our little "business", we waited at outside for awhile. Mana tau, atas sebab-sebab tertentu, we waited...

Sebab Pertama.

Sebab Kedua.

but.... oh well, they got good sebab-sebab kerana lambat kan? X P Hehehehe.

Then, after that, we balik lo. Sampai rumah d, Enli was watching some show on tv. That girl ar, quite shy. But after awhile, hehehehe.. We had good laughs.. = D We actually stayed up till quite "early in the morning" despite telling auntie that by 7 we sure can get up d 1... = X hehehehe... But that staying up was... quite fun.. Hehehehe... We actually stayed up till an alarm clock rang. = X Hehehe...

We were watching INSiDE
Thanx, Foo... = D

Day 2...

Woke up at 10a.m. Jia Jian and Jia Wei's still at home. = ] They were watching tv and makan some nasi lemak for brekfast. Hehehehe. Had a little bit of chat with them. But they still abit shy shy. = ] So was I. Hehehe. After awhile, Amelia came down. Then after another while, Sally came down. They got up awal awal to register for their subjects. Nasib baik, still got some slots. X P sorry for not waking u 2 up earlier. = ]

After register register d, @.@ the time... We were already late. T.T We were supposed to fetch enli up at 12.45 and by the time everything's done, it's already like 1 smth d. = X So, fast fast go lo. Hehehe. That day, something happened which actually frighten quite a few ppl. But, fortunately, it wasn't much la. = ] Oh, I would definitely remember that day. After that, we went and had our lunch at er... some kopitiam? Hahaha. I'm not sure exactly where it is but, they serve pretty good food there too. = ]

Sorry, the food was too good to just see.. X P


Jian looks yummy too? X D

Hehehehe.... Thirty-TWOOOOOO!!! X D It was really fun getting to talk to all of you all. And getting to know most of ur birthdays. I hope I wun forget any. Old ppl, memory not so good d. XP

After lunch, we went to the Ipoh Parade to jalan jalan for awhile. To digest. = D It was fun walking around and taking some pictures here and there. And and hor, there was one moment when we thought Jia Jian was missing. @.@ And James was missing too. @.@ So, we made an assumption that James brought Jia Jian go and try on some baju. Hahahaha. (oh ya, we were in a clothes store, btw). Then, when I called them, they happened to be at the next door, checking out some dvds. Apparently, Jia Jian is quite into Naruto. Hmmm.. Kids nowadays. X D

Oh ya, did i mention that there was a "pencuriii"? X D Hahahaha. Nah, kidding kidding... Just enli. = ]

Introducing, The Pencuriii. = P
Hahahahaha.. Enli, Sally's sissy.


We tried on some specs too. = X

Those who were there


= ]

Lepas itu, we drop Amelia at her parent's office? Uhmmm.. Was it called smth like "TAIKO" ar? Hahaha.. Not sure. But, it's something like that rite? Do correct me if I'm wrong. = ] After dropping Amelia off and getting the directions to go back to Sally's place, we then followed enli to her dentist. She had a dental appointment on that day and the clinic was actually quite near their place.

Lepas itu, we dah la penat. So, we balik rumah lo. Lepak kat sana. Talk talk talk, watch some KICK-KE-TAS-KIN!! And talk talk summore. Hehehe. Very nice. I like it alot actually. After that, we drove over to a shop near Jia Wei's tuition place there for dinner.

Chicken Legs....


Some fried stuffs. Yummmy.. = D


Fishball and Meatball soup. = P
Super duper zuper yummy. Jun's favourite.

The cool thing about that soup is, to makan those stuffs in the soup rite, we need to...

ask for Jia Jun's permission 1. @.@ Hahahaha. But seriously, that lil boy is very cute and I would say, he's pretty matured also. For a boy his age, I was in awe when he said something. He said something like

"eh eh, since you all haven't eat before, each person take one"

He was referring to the meatballs and fishballs lo. I was surprised. He was willing to share his food with some of us. Waowww. Sally, u all have thought him well. = ]

Lil Kick Ke Tas Kin who has a big BIG heart.


His asam boi drink... Hahaha.. Nice nice

After dinner, we balik over to their place for awhile. Did some packing ups and some piano sessions with Sally and her siblings. Jia Jian is pretty good.. @.@ I did learn 1 song from him actually. Hahaha. And and and!! Jia Jun also knows how to play. @.@ WAOW!! He duet-ed with Sally the "Lu Xing Yu" song and I was really really amazed. He can PLAY!! @.@ Got potential to be someone pretty hebat. Hahahaha. After learning some from Jian and playing some with Jun, we did some piano sessions... Oh... Me likey those piano sessions. Can we do it again? = D Sooo niceee..

After those piano sessions.... = ( It is time..... to say..... = ( bye bye... Haihhh... It feels like time was really zoooooming pass very very fast. @.@ It's over already. Too fast... TT.TT I didn't really get to do much also. Nonetheless, I still had an awesome time. One of those times that I probably wouldn't forget. = ]
