BOLT! ZOOM ZOOM

I still can't watch my movie, Quanrantine, due to reason my friends would get freaked out easily if they're watching scary movies, so i'll have to wait another week till i can get friends who won't get freaked out from scary movies :)

So instead of Quanrantine, we settled for Bolt,The Super Dog kononnya la, we watched the 3D version, cost me RM17. It was quite an experience but i won't be returning for another 3D movie unless it's really really interesting, I would definitely go for 3D Quarantine, if there's one la hahaha

Back to Bolt, if it were to be compared with Madagascar 2, i guess Madagascar made me laughed alot where as Bolt is rather the animation with moral values, not to say Madagascar don't have but Bolt is presented in a more dramatical way, so at times there are parts i felt it's rather draggy. But luckily, there's Rhino, hahaha that furry guy made me laughed till my jaws hurt.

Therefore all in all, if you're looking for a good laugh i suggest Madagascar 2, but if you are looking for something bit more serious, Bolt but then again, both are animations so you should know what you're expecting :)


*Those specs, it keeps dropping, maybe my face ain't big enough, anyway don't loose it, penalty is RM150 ...

Restless

1st December, marks the end of my 3 weeks holiday which is not much of a holiday as well, since i'm back in Ipoh, like i said, routine routine and routine. Which is Breakfast, Biscuits, Lunch, Biscuits and Dinner + sometimes supper. Yup, needing a good rest and vacation maybe, but time seems to fly so fast, everything just happened in a blink of an eye.

Back in KL, on 30th of Nov, wishing that i would get some rest but as the title said, Restless, strucked by insomnia. Hate sleepless nights, it makes us recall the past, that's why i hate insomnias, one thought leads to another, it's a like a chain reaction where you try going down or retrieving the chain, you'll be linked to endless chains of past memories, the feeling is like you've got a scar on your body and you touch it, somehow the scar will send a tingling feeling and the brain will clearly tell you how you fell and got that scar, people always say that you should learn your mistakes but how sure are we that we would not get another scar from the similar incident because the future holds so much of untold stories which we yet to reveal to ourselves.

But then again, we're just mere humans, we are just glad that the scar which once a wound had healed itself leaving a mark to remind us, at least there's a reminder and we've been through, so whenever you felt like there's a dejavu happening which would lead you back and knowing that you'll get hurt, make a u-turn or choose another path to avoid any injuries be it physically or emotionally, that's why our body have scars for wounds that's been cutted deeply.

Food Therapy

I've been eating, eating, and eating since that day .. it was rather depressing to know about it, somehow i had high hopes for what i expected, but i guess once again my world crumbled... made me, empty.

So eventually, i guess food therapy in Ipoh is really cheap :), for just only RM10 here you can stuff yourself until you can't move, I didn't took much pictures though...

And, it began like this, if you are looking for some therapy to cheer you up besides shopping, knowingly expensive, do try food therapy but of course look for good food, it's sort of a way to pamper yourself and know that there's still good things in life worth living for, well at least for me cos i live to eat, not eat to live type of person.

Like I said, rm10, let me introduce to you all, mee goreng and mee rebus, yup each for only rm2.50 so i gobbled up this plate of mee rebus, plus few pieces of nyonya kuih(RM3->rather expensive :( ), which is superb, you can't those delicious kuih anywhere else, of course again, don't compare it with penang :)

Eventually I was really surprised when i paid, the kid said it's rm2.50 and I was like thinking there's still food below rm3 besides all the roti-rotis in mamak stall hahaha, so lets proceed.


Next would be mee goreng, again rm2.50, another plate of cholesterol XD, this one was goreng-ed to perfection, yeah so if you add up the sum rm2.50 + rm2.50 + rm3 + mah favourite coffee :) = it's only rm9 less than rm10.

So there you have it, food therapy for 1 session, another way would be swallowing biscuits, i don't mean it literally, but if the way you eat it like you're eating junks then it's really swallowing hahaha.

Eventually now would be the best time to eat biscuits because festive seasons are just around the corner, there are a variety of biscuits out there! Go grab and start stuffing! hahaha I eventually just finished 1 bottle of bee-hive(a type of biscuit) in a day.

Anyway, my food therapy sessions will be ending soon cuz i am heading back KL soon .. -sigh-

My Inaugural Road Trip

Like I said, it's inaugural, it's not a trip which hoping to go again because it's for a medical issue which have something to do with my uncle.

So, I started from Ipoh at 5.30 in the morning, took a bus down to Taiping and from there I took over the driver seat and drove all the way down to Penang. When we(Uncle, Dai Yee, Kam Mou and me) reached Penang we went directly to Gleneagles where we spent more than half a day there. Thanks to the hospital's facilities where there's a TV equiped with Astro I watched 2 movies there :)

After things have been settled there(Glad that the doctor said my uncle was in recovering stage") ), we went for food, didn't really hunted for it, we just drove around and hoping to find a place where there are some variety of food sold, fortunately we found 1 and i've been to that place before XD how lucky. Was rather happy due to the fact at last i've managed to taste Penang's genuine Fried Koay Teow + chu cheong fun with the black paste(aka har gou) and what made me drool when i think about it was it's coffee, it's so original even Ipoh had to lost to it.

So after our late lunch, I drove all the way back to Taiping and took a bus back to Ipoh, my inaugural road trip ended around 6.30pm. Therefore basically I was on the road for almost 14 hours hahahahaha, do hope I can make a trip down to Penang again and this time be it really a trip :)

*Get well soon uncle :)

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 :)
