a shot of update

music: nujabes - beat laments the world
mood: chillin

hello people :) went for an early movie (around 11.30am) in bukit tinggi JJ to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Seriously, its NOT OVERRATED AT ALL. Thumbs up. No wonder people rewatch this movie for god-knows-how-many-times. i think im in love with Optimus Prime lol. Oh, and yea, Megan Fox is a super stunner.





Ahem.ahemhem.
oklar, i mean he's cute rite? ..FYI, he is Josh Duhamel, played his part as Major William Lennox.
hehe.okay no more drooling.

so, i actually went to ipoh on the 22th of june, for 3 days 2 nights, with rosy sherman and jern han. all of us were not allowed to drive, so we opt for the bus instead.
i think the journey took us 2 hours+ to reach ipoh? quite fast actually..
here's some pics =D

Day 1
Photobucket
harhar, 3 of us in the bus, sherman's holding the camera.

Photobucket
after checking in our hotel, we headed for some food. this is the innocent jern han with his ipoh white coffee.

Photobucket
this is our treasurer of the trip. she jotted down all our expenses, aka our DAI KA JIE (cantonese)

Photobucket
and dai ka jie's boyfriend/driver of the trip, and also the one who ensured the safety of our lives in that truck-like-isuzu :D

Photobucket
just a lil peek of the streets of Ipoh. sometimes, i thought im in Klang Town.

Photobucket
and here comes the foooood. har mee.

Photobucket
yong tau foo.

Photobucket
dan tart. cheap and yumyum :)

Photobucket
the gang. from left, sherman, rosy, me and jern han. we were accompanying rosy to get her grandma's medicine. good cucu :)

Photobucket
then we went to this Funny Mountain for soya bean/tau foo far/liong sui. in ipoh, they call it 豆精 for soya bean. thats rosy by the way.

Photobucket
jern han and me with the soya bean and tau foo far.

Photobucket
the couple with their liong sui.

Photobucket
me and dai ka jie.

Photobucket
the roomates. awwwww

Photobucket
we will ALWAYS do that to jern han. LOL

Photobucket
the famous tau foo far. no wonder people (especially girls) in ipoh is so freaking fair !

Photobucket
as usual, her perky poses :) i personally find this photo really nice. it's like vintage+perkiness.

Photobucket
after that, we went for another session of foooood :o its the yong tau foo again.

Photobucket
and the scrumptious asam laksa. the broth is super thick and rich. yummms

Photobucket
ya i know its pretty normal for a 佶仔酸梅(correct?) but this is super sour. ironically, i like :DDD

Photobucket
at night, we went to this Ipoh Parade to kill off some time. rosy and a lump of fats beside her.

Photobucket
it pretty much reminds me of Klang Parade, actually. Rosy again.

Photobucket
then, makan again ~ this is Lou Wong's nga choi. crunchy crunchy

Photobucket
four of us actually KO-ed a whole chicken (small). fuiyoo.

Photobucket
a foh kei (伙记?) helped us to take a group picture.

Photobucket
sherman was focusing on the chicken, and that piece of unfocused face is rosy's LOL

Photobucket
Introducing Saidina, a brother of Monopoly. We drink,ate tidbits and played saidina before hitting the sack. damn funny xD

Day 2
Photobucket
makan lor. this is Sun Seng Fatt's curry laksa mee~

Photobucket
i don't have to describe how nice was it, rite :) ?

Photobucket
sun seng fatt's lou ban took the pic for us :D and he kindly gave some insights about the nice food in ipoh..and also about the 二奶街.

Photobucket
before heading to the yi lai gai, we went for this chee cheung fun in Sin Yong Loong.
different from the ones in KL, this comes with a plate of pure "fun", topped with brown sauce, added with chilli if you like spicy.

Photobucket
this is the 二奶街. in the olden days, the rich bosses from mining industries used to keep and visit their mistresses in these houses.

Photobucket
i didn't know this ! :D

Photobucket
our rented car in ipoh *grins*..its like a 路霸 haha...because its big and makes "fierce" noises whenever Sherman starts the car. bully the small cars !!

Photobucket
this is Sherman's GPS, a device with a sexy-female-voice to guide us throughout our trip. we didn't get lost~

Photobucket
we decided to sing K in Ipoh Parade's Kbox. RM7+ per person? that reasonable without a membership.

Photobucket
group pic.

Photobucket
see, high d. sherman is singing that time, i think ~

Photobucket
i think we're singing some mariah carrey/pussycat dolls or fergie's song. dah high dah.

Photobucket
ice cream in some cafe.name, forgotten. this is the durian-flavored one.

Photobucket
choco+strawberry flavor.

Photobucket
ini dia couple yang comel.

Photobucket
ini..satu guy yang ada girlfriend yang gorgeous, satu perempuan yang masih single and available. SIGH

Photobucket
some food court for dinner. but we went to the opposite food court. but also food court lah no difference. ya, im already dizzy because i keep writing for the captions.

Photobucket
dinner, seafood+rice and vege, which is not in the picture.they have this loud music (trance i think) playing somewhere nearby. FYI, its annoying to eat while listening to such loud music, to me lah at least.

At nite, saidina+tidbits+drinks again lol. we spent our 2 nights in the room and i think i kinda like the hotel (Heritage Hotel) already.

Day 3
Photobucket
Woke up at 7.30am just for the dim sum but its CLOSED FOR RENOVATION =(..went to the opposite one instead. Dim sum galore ~

Photobucket
li xin: ngo oi li gor, goh gor, ah ! dong mai li gor ! (cantonese, ipoh mah)

Photobucket
rosy and my favourite stuffed chillies, among with some yong tau foo (ya we like yong tau foo) sherman's camera is awesome.

Photobucket
cantonese-style porridge. me likey. something like my mum's version.

Photobucket
see, 7.30am is just too early. sleep-deprieved.

Photobucket
never,ever get cheated by cute things. the looked-nice-but-tasted-not-so-nice peanut bun.

Photobucket
ipoh's 伙记 is camera-friendly and customer-friendly. a group pic again.

Photobucket
har gao.

Photobucket
happy three friends.

Photobucket
final group pic in the hotel before leaving. there's another pic with a more formal expression but i like this ~

Photobucket
don't judge a book by its cover. presenting: salted chicken with herbs. this is absolutely de.li.cious.

we wanted to go Indulgence, a restaurant located near the hotel which we're staying at..but due to time constraint, we simply missed it :(
reach puduraya bus station around 6ish in the evening and i took the train home.i was unfarmilliar with the putra train station..as i never took the train there before, so i kept asking the other passengers about the way to KL Sentral and to Pelabuhan Klang station..
many thanks to those kind souls :) and i actually wore a mask because im not feeling very well that time/partially because the swine flu LOL..
and so many pairs of eyes were like..looking at me (and jern han actually, he's wearing one too) LOL...

it was, overall, fun and fulfilling :D
trips like these makes me feel a lil more responsible towards my own actions, like settle our own things, getting to know what/where/how are we going to do things, plan beforehand etc etc.
yea, because i keep leaving things behind, sometimes its those important things like my purse or handphone.yes i know its horrible.
IMO, its because i keep thinking my parents will keep reminding me about this bad habit of mine.
so trips like this actually makes me felt more alert.

lets do this some more :D
