I just came back from a trip to Ipoh .... so coincidently, my housemate Calvin and his wife Jamie got a job at UTP .... so they just moved to Ipoh .... so, i just packed by bag, get a bus ticket ... and buy my way to Ipoh .... on a rainy friday afternoon, just after a meeting at my office ....
Reached Medan Gopeng at 4.30 pm ... ermm, i was kinda lost coz last time, when i still study at UTP ... bus usually stopped at Medan Kint ... so i decide to walk out a little bit to check out that area ... when i was walking along the road ... I was stopped by a teksi sapu ... offer to bring me to Ipoh Parade for RM10 ... so i think what the heck ... i dun even know where i am anyway ....
Stopped by at Ipoh Parade .... hang out at a cafe there while waiting for my Calvin to pick me up ... Ipoh parade seems to be newly renovated .... and a lot of school kids seems to hang around ..... Calvin and his wife arrived and suggested dinner and movies ... so we walk over to "tong sui kai" ... and have dinner there .... and later catch a movie "Watchmen" at Ipoh Parade .... it seems that the movie turns out to be a disaster ... at least not my cup of tea ....
Next morning ... got this van stopped outside Calvin's house .... selling breakfast, remind me of the old days when they still have van going house to house selling food at subang ..... hehehe .... so bought some breakfast .... and ate at his house .... i must say that his house really have a nice environment .... bukit kledang just walking distance away ... small and peaceful neighbourhood .... just like Miri ....
Then we go to Jaya Jusco at Ipoh ... to meet up with another couple ... Raffiz and Melissa, both my secondary school friends .... have lunch together Kenny Roger's ... then i heard that Crocs have sales ... so go and check it out .... seems that it only give discount for the second pair, if buy 2 pairs lo ... but nevertheless, i just got myself a pair :-P
At night, bring Calvin and Jamie to Menglembu town ... to try the honey chicken .... they seems to like it very much .... and after dinner, Calvin drop me off at Raffiz's place .... to watch ManU vs Liverpool match .... too bad Man U lose badly that night ... but that doesnt spoil our mood to go out and have supper at mamak shop at greentown ..... after that, spend a night at Raffiz place ....
Next sunday morning ... overshoot and sleep until 10.00 am ... have breakfast with Raffiz and Melissa .... and then ask them to send me back to Calvin's place .... hahaha .... i live like a nomad .... go here and there ....
At Calvin's place .... Jamie cook lunch, yummy food :-) .... then i took a rest and later evening ... go and climb Bukit Kledang .... climb until half way ... everybody pancit .... and also looks like going to rain ... so rush our way back to the car .... and go back .... on the way, stopped by a baker shop .... recommend them a good place to buy portugese egg tart .... we bought some back for tea time too ....
At night, just have a simple meal nearby ... then later at night, borrow car from them ... and I drove up and meet another UTP friend of mine ... she brought me a bar and have a couple of beer ... while catching up with each other.....
Finally, it is monday morning .... Calvin drove me to UTP .... where he work .... and i hang around there and before i leave for Ipoh .... my friend suggested for me to try out KTM train instead of bus ... so went to bought the train ticket .... and have breakfast ....... and then, catch the train back to KL .... i must say that the train ride is much more comfortable than the bus ride ... some more it stopped at KL central ... which is much more convenient ....
A good weekend getaway ... b4 i will go out to work again ... this weekend ....
