After our breakfast in Dobbies, Mary proceeded with her "expert" driving, going through the countryside narrow roads to our destination Glenifidirk. Along the way, we were exposed to the beautiful and serenity of the green pastures filled with chubby sheeps, hairy cows and horses... love watching the...
On the very first morning in Aberdeen, Mary came to fetch us from the hotel... at the ground floor of the train station where I stay.... the trian station is just next to the hotel ... very convenient..It isreally nice of her to take her precious time off to take us for a day trip...
Freezing cold in Aberdeen! Mary told us that there are four seasons in a day.. yes, you heard me right... there are four seasons in a year no doubt but in Aberdeen the weather can change every now and then and I got what she meant this morning when we woke up to go for a trip... It was very sunny this...
Yesterday it was an Aussie lunch... this afternoon I was blessed with a "North Indian Cuisine" lunch in Pakeeza here in Ipoh. I haven't been there since my colleagues gave me a farewell lunch in 2003 when I was transferred to another department.Come to think of it... that clearly shows that I...
We planned to eat the Ipoh Turf Club Laksa this afternoon but unfortunately it was closed when we reached the shop. Elin then suggested to go to The OZ, she heard that they serve Australian food there.... Something new, eh?? Never had Australian food in IPOH before...Without wasting any more...
This evening I was given a task to do.... I was invited to go to Tower Regency Ballroom to "taste" a set of wedding course.... Of course, it is my pleasure.... anytime! When it comes to food tasting, call me anytime! LOL.... Hope I do not sound that I have not eaten for a long-long...
Did you know that with a standard inkjet printer you can print fabrics at home, using a wide array of designs? It’s true. These fabrics can be used for craft projects, home sewing ideas and even for making cushion covers, bags or anything else like scarves, mobile covers and the like. If you are a...
Received an SMS from from a former classmate saying "So n So" has come back from NZ... "So n So" sounds familiar but I couldn't really recall her face... I can only imagine a small thin girl with an 18 inches waist.. (during my time, most school girls were thin and skinny!) ...Out of curiosity...
Andy brought back his "stinky" and tattered comforter from Penang... but now it is not "stinky" nor tattered anymore.. he dumped it inside the washing machine, put lots of "TOP" powder and softener and let it washed for more than 30 minutes, from stinky to nice smelling fresh aroma, just like new if not for...
Apart from singing, my other hobby is playing Badminton... but due to some "twisting" of my limbs, I have temporary hang up my racket for the time being. The passion is still alive, no doubt about that and I will certainly resume my favourite sports hopefully in June this year.When my friend opened this...
Zara Loft.... it reminds me of a character in a fiction book I read before.... it also reminded me of a high end shop in a shopping mall.... Zara... Zara... definitely not here in IPOH but in Klang valley. Ok, what am I babbling about?Last weekend when my girl was back for the weekend, she told me...
When he is back, he tries not to miss buying this King of the Fruits! No doubt the durian season is over but there is always one road side stall in Canning Garden selling "overpriced" durians. Well, I was thinking, it is worth paying a bit more for quality durians, right? Moreover, it is not...
It has been many years since my last visit to this Lucky Restaurant in Pasir Puteh. It is well known for its fresh seafood, prawns, crabs, sea bass among the popular ones. The last time I came by here was more than five years ago, I remember ordering a claypot of noodles made from fish with prawns and it...
When my mother heard that Aaron had come home, she went for a marketing spree on Friday and bought back a lot of "goodies" to cook for dinner! Well, I didn't want to spoil her fun cooking a Big Meal once awhile though I reminded her again and again, not to cook so many dishes... only a few of us but...
Aaron and I took a 45 minutes drive to fetch my girl home from college on Saturday morning. On the way out, we dropped by to Impiana Hotel to take some "goodies" from the Kucing family... those who know them, you will understand what I am talking about, they are always well known for their generosity...
A very nice sunny Sunday Morning when we went to church for Easter... a day to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day He was buried. After church we took our first meal of the day in Perak Stadium food court, losing a lot of calories there instead of adding and it happened ...
At this moment of time, I am waiting for Andy to reach Ipoh... he is on the way back from Penang and from his phone call, the highway was quite jammed up especially coming out from Georgetown. I expected as much, it is Good Friday today, it coincides with chinese "All Souls Day" aka Ching Ming and thirdly,...
It has been a long while since I last tasted the Waller Court Chee Cheong Fun (flat white noodles with special sauce) and I kind of missed it. So this early morning I made a trip there to satisfy the hunger... this stall is situated opposite a coffeeshop and I have to "shout" CHEE CHEONG FUNto the boss...
I received a surprised pleasant call at around 12.30 saying that they will be reaching IPOH around 1pm, just nice for LUNCH... and the first place that came to my mind was Houston Cafe! I wanted them to try the Assam Fish Head.... however, due to my blunder of leaving out the word "Assam" when I ordered,...
As I mentioned in my earlier posts, I went to the IT fair with the hope of buying an iPad for myself to replace my 5 year old Dell laptop. But somehow or rather, I didn't manage to get it, thanks to my girl... she said she will "lend" it to me when I go for a short holiday next month. So nice of...
