A New Hideout

I still remember we, Blind, Fei Lo and me , had a pact that we will meet at the same spot 10 years down the road, then we were only 18 when we went separate ways of our lives, then, it was our favorite hideout, U-Curry, where we did spent most of our time in Ipoh, as years gone by, our friendship lasted but not U-Curry, it was rather a disappointment because wherever U-Curry went you will definitely see us The 3 Stooges there sitting and sipping teh tariks plus ... ;P

So, due to our disappointment me and Blind went and looked for a new hideout, and woahlah! we found 1, it's our new hideout! The moment we went into the shop we had this stoned feeling, and the picture above was taken in our 'hideout', stone right? It just soothes the mood of our stony feeling every morning, to add credits to that place we met an old friend there, our friendly-neighbourhood-roti-canai-maker from U-Curry , at last a place where we can hide away, it's not that we want to hide away from anything but it's a good place where we can relive our habits of stoning hahaha

Look, it's not a total waste of time, it's just that once you've been in the fast lane in the city, you just need to slow down, lessen your pace of life for just that few weeks, even if it's for a moment, it's worthwhile. So, Mr.Blind and me sat down there chatted bout Heidi, a topic that's within closed walls in our hideout Xp.

<-- Blind (stoned)

Therefore, my hopes and wishes is to be able to frequent our hideout again through out the years which we don't know how many years can we come back to our hometown that frequent anymore as both Blind and me will be stepping into another phase of life real soon, but at least we have something good to look forward to when we're back in Ipoh .. OUR HIDEOUT :)

Lastly, since it's a hideout I will not tell the location of the place Xp so if you all are curious enough do find out where and maybe you'll meet 2 stoners there, but before I end my post ... I would like to say, U-Curry, you've been there for us, and your memories will stay in us but as we are entering a new phase, it's time for us to move on and may you(U-Curry) live as a past in our hearts *heartz* ...

We all have our time machines. Some takes us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they are called dreams - Jeremy Iron

Coffee and Kinta River

Introducing my new blend, yup coffee + kinta river , ok it's not like i am taking kinta river's water to make a cup of coffee, kinta river is the spot and coffee is the drink, you know me, coffee is practically my life.

The place was rather serene, I would really like to applaud those who developed that area, it's about time Ipoh have a concept of dining by the river side thingy, but unfortunately it's just like few percent of completion, and yeah kinta river's water is still brownish but at least it's something and i totally dig the environment there with so miniature famous bridges such as the Brooklyn bridge, our infamous Penang Bridge, London Bridge and if i am not mistaken there's 2 more, which i think it's rather a cool concept :)

As for beverages, it does not only serve coffee, you can reasonable western food typical "Yeolde" style of food there, price is pretty reasonable and best part is there's not tax! hehehe everything sold there is net price. I didn't had the chance to try the food there, I just a had a cup of coffee with my friend as we both have taken a very heavy dinner i guess.

As a reminiscence, this place, Kinta River brought back lots of memories to me while i was a school kid then, as my bus would always stop next to the school and we would run down to the river and start throwing stones beside the river bank, then to me the river was just a very big drain to drain out all the dirts of the city and it even smells but now look at what man has decided to do it, I am pretty pleased with it. Definitely will visit again :)

Well, I really do hope this project would be a success so I would have another thing to look forward to when I am back in Ipoh, so ppl of Ipoh do check out this place, it's just located next to St. Michaels School if you are wondering where it's where abouts. Sorry for not much of pictures uploaded due to my phone's low battery, but promise if i ever do visit there again i will take more pics :)
