I’ve started my packing and there are tonz of stuff that I need to bring. Been busy since my last post, one of my best fren billygal came by and stay over at my place for a few days, I really wish that she stayed longer so that I don’t have to start bothering about all those stuff that I have to bring and etc. Eversince she left, gosh, things hasn’t stop popping up even at odd hours. There are so many things that I need to handle but I’m running out of time.
Anyway, talking about billygal’s stay here, it was really fun. I’m dedicating this post to her. Picked her up on Saturday afternoon then brought her to have lunch at the nooddle stalls under a big tree, too bad they are almost closing as it’s late, there aren’t anymore special food left. Anyway, we can’t finish those extra food that I’ve ordered, so ended up stuffing all those unfinished food to my bro. Kellie’s Castle was next on our agenda as she has never been to Ipoh before, took a few shots here and there and checked out every corner and every room, even went down the dark wine cellar. Later that night we went for the famous spot for the must had dish if you ever come to Ipoh, the “Nga Choi Kai’ ( Beansprout Chicken ). Things got really funny when there are students kept on coming asking us for donation and we pretended that we had gave earlier on.
Then we went for a midnight movie starred by Bruce Willis - The Hostage, that was actually my first time watching a midnight movie. Anyway, it wasn’t a good choice watching movie like that in the midnight as it was actually bloody from the begining till the end. Everyone seems to die even small kids, bloods are everywhere and there are this crazy psycho who enjoy watching people die in front of them. What a great movie to watch during midnight… ;P Luckily I didn’t have nightmare that night.
Programme for the next day was even more packed, we woke up quite late that day, when we left home to start our journey, it was almost 12 noon. First stop, we went for the Kampar’s Curry Chicken in Bread. Well, it was hugh and enough to feed 4 person, but there was just the 2 of us who went and we actually finished that one whole dish. Check out this hugh thingy that we stuffed in, you need strategy to finish this up, do not ever eat bread first, finish up the curry chicken and potatoes, then only go for the bread.
After we finish that whole thing, it was already one hour later. It’s really difficult eating the same dish for the one hour, you can imagine how ‘muak’ (how do you say muak in english?) it is.
Next up was all the Caves exploration. The only attraction in Ipoh I guess is caves, there are so many caves to visit. Perak Tong, Sam Poh Tong, Nan Tian Tong, Kek Lok Tong, Guan Yin Tong and etc. With all the Tong Tong going on, it was really hectic for me as I’m a couch potato and I don’t fancy walking. But for you, billygal, I actually climbed up the Perak Tong. I’m really bad in climbing even though it’s just stairs, never thought I would need to rest so often, it was embarrassing but it was fun, as I’ve never managed to finish the trip up to Perak Tong the last time I came. Here’s the view of the city from the top of the mountain. Anyway, it’s just different view of different factory as it was near industrial area, not like there is somthing special up there.
We too went to an isolated place hidden inside a mountain named Recreation Park of Gunung Lang. It was actually like an island where you have to pay RM 3 to take a boat to go over the recreation park. There are a children playground and assorted flowers and trees all over the island. We didin’t take pix there as we were too busy talking or rather I was too busy talking. Maybe I really talk too much, sometimes I have nothing to say, but sometimes I’m way too talkative. It’s like a split personality, but I guess it depends on who I’m talking to. I guess I should feel sorry for my friend having to bear with me talking and talking constantly by her ears.
No one should miss the Old Town White Coffee if you are in Ipoh, we went for the white coffee to quench our thirst, I was really really thirsty especially after all the never ending stairs climbing. I scratched slashed (slashed because it was deeper and worst than a scratch) my dad’s car when I was trying to park in a small side alley.
Dinner was just a simple steambot as Plan A somehow didn’t work. I guess its better it doesn’t work as its rather cruel also to go and point out which prawns and fish you want to cook and eat. I can’t bear that thought of me deciding which to kill, I’m no God, so I don’t think I have the right to decide that. So plan B works fine to me.
It was the last night of her stay, that night as we were having fun linking our computers together and transfer files through my wireless LAN. It was silly especially me refuse to talk to her in person and insist on messaging her through MSN. ah well, happy moments always ended soon. Send her off the next day after breakfast and a short tour around Ipoh.
She’s gona leave for US in August, and I will be leavin for Singapore the day after tomorrow. She’s gona head north, I’m heading south. Wondering whether there will still be a possibility for us to meet again as we are both going the opposite way. So gal, wish you all the best in all your future undertakings here first and take care of yourself there. Ohio sounded like Ohayo in Jap. haha… Well, we met in Japan anyway. 
Gona keep that for some other time…
p/s Why billygal? don’t ask me, I don’t know either… 
) Great site - loved the bit about yourselves.
