Tania’s Visit to Ipoh...FINALLY! (13/08/2009-16/08/2009)

Nenek Tania has good news to break! And she will tell those good news to everyone in very vain and over exaggerating cuteness voice, without any hesitation of showing all her teeth. Yep, she passed her exam and she is no longer the nenek-in-braces. Which means, she can kiss liao! Haha, just kidding. She is very happy with her new appearance that even a fat figure won’t affect her. She told us (me and Ummi) that she has been thinking of food (especially curry and deep colored food) all the time and she feels hungry every single second! Hah, that is so exaggerating. But that’s the truth. Thus, Ummi and I planned to FEED her until she stops complaining of hunger.

On her first night here, we brought her to Andersonian Club to have some Northern Indian food. I had been there once during last year’s Deepavali (invited by Dr. Usha and family) and the food were really nice. We had ordered 6 dishes; grind spinach with cheese, brinjal masala, butter chicken, curry mutton, plain naan bread and white rice. All the food was so nice that we actually spent the first half hour by ooing and aahing of how good were the food. Oh, did I mention that we all ate with our bare hands! That was so Indian and the food was more delicious this way. Well, Ummi and I don’t have any problems of doing that but Tania has! At first she was reluctant and she grabed the spoon and fork, which were all confiscated by me. Haha..I just love to tease Tania. It was fun seeing her kelam-kabut eating with bare hands. We also mange to finish 2 portion of rice because we just can’t stop eating as the food was too good. Ummi also ordered a glass of homemade Indian yogurt for Tania. I didn’t even try that out because i think the taste is weird and unacceptable.

Tania, who was so excited to show us her unbraced teeth.

Thee food, before and after.

On Friday, Tania went to visit the clinic gals and buying lunch for them too. She bought Vietnamese chicken chop rice. It was very nice but i was too hungry to grab a picture of it. She also managed to get each doctor a fruit basket. Dr. Adlan was on leave thus he asked Tania’s HP number from me today (18/08/2009). He wanted to congratulate Tania upon her result. I think Tania must be surprise and happy to receive his call. After the lunch, Tania chatted with me throughout the lunch time before she headed to Jusco.

We met at night again for dinner. We had planned to go a night market at First Ipoh Garden. It was apparently the biggest Pasar Malam in Ipoh. I grabbed some pictures and Tania bought some stuff there. We really enjoyed ourselves that we walked and just buy any food that we liked along the way. I always think the most enjoying moment of walking a big pasar malam is eat, walk and see at the same time. It is so Malaysian! Haha...

Saturday was all planned. Ummi and I worked till 1pm. Since Tania was all stuffed with curry during the breakfast and brunch time, Ummi and I had our lunch at Tesco food court. Then, we do some window shop at Tesco. We played with some party stuff and also bought some of the silly stuff. After that, we went to Gunung Lang as planned by Ummi. There was a park across the river at Gunung Lang. We need to go there by boat. So we went. It was so hot that all the three of us were restless. Time really flied. At 6pm, we went to Same Taste Restaurant for dinner. The restaurant is famous for its glass noodle crab and fish porridge. So, we ordered those 2 dishes. It was just finished raining that the restaurant’s tables full of flies. We had to cover our drinks with tissue, wiping the table with scented facial tissue (because according to Tania, flies scared of scented stuff), throwing away anything that contacted with the flies, etc. The food was nice but we were shocked when we see the bill. Too expensive man!

At night, we went for a movie, “The Proposal”. It was comedy romance. I liked it. It was good. I also bought a blouse at Seed after seeing Tania wore it. The only difference is Tania got it in grey and mine is orangey pink. Somehow, after Jia bought me the pink crocs-copycat shoes, I don’t resent pink anymore. Haha... yes, I admit it, my name is Bibiana and I love pink!

The 3 of us in disguise-glass wear, i think it is funny. Ummi bought 2 packets (a total of 8) of them. haha...don't we looked hilarious?

It was fun having Tania coming to Ipoh during the weekend. It will be more fun if Xiao Ting, Yati, Siew Fei and Chee Tian could join us!

Denial

I am sitting at a corner in an OldTown Cafe at Ipoh. There is a huge aka fat daddy watching over his 3 children running, fooling around in the cafe. The children are screaming, running, fooling around. It is very annoying and not cute at all. I resent this. I don't mind people running up and down but the anooying noise, is a totally NO. Uncivilized, no manner, uncontrolled and untaught are what i am calling them.

It has been long time time since my last visit to my blog. At first, it was busyness kept me away, then, it was the denial. I was trying to avoid things that i did not want to see. I gave it a thought and now i overcome the denial.

Had a lot of shit going on since my last blog. First was the visit to Fraser Hill with Mr Ang during the first weekend of August, then the sisters visit during the second week, followed by Tania's visit to Ipoh, and the most recent one was being back stabbed by one of the colleague. Well, things happened for a reason, I am just getting wiser and better in handling stuff.
Thus, I have a lot of shit to bare this time! haha...

Fraser Hill Trip (1-2 August 2009)

I was all excited when i knew i was going to Fraser Hill. The excitement increase 10 times when i knew that i was going there with Mr Ang and his friends. Why? Because it will solve my curiosity about the way he and his friends spending time together. You will really be surprise to see the way they communicate with the girlfriends or spouse around. It will be totally different. With their GF around, all the 4-letter words no longer heard. Besides, it is really fun going to a trip with a bunch of people that you know. Well, there were 12 people going; 2 married couples, 1 going-to-get-marry couple, 2 undefined couple and 2 men without any partners. Please don’t get it wrong, those 2 men were not gay, one of them married and just had a baby girl and another one is still single. Sorry, i am not going to tell which category that i am in.

So, on Saturday morning, after having breakfast at 9++ am, we departed to Fraser Hill! One of the married couple will only join the rest of us later that day, around 7pm. Actually, in the first place, there were only 3 couples going. But since Mr Ang’s group of friends are inseparable and must do things together, the rest bulge in later in which case they have to book their own hotel or apartment. We had the plan going on earlier, thus we only booked the apartment only enough for 6 persons. We were so lucky we booked the apartment earlier. This is because, when the rest try to get a spend-a-night place, all the good ones were fully booked and this left either the lousy ones or the very expensive ones. Eventually, they got one apartment with 3 rooms as well but the condition was much more horrible. Well, it was not so horrible that it will leak when it rain type, it was horrible that the apartment had a no inhabitants smell. You know, the smell of old books in the ancient library. Yeah, that’s it, it was that smell.

Journey to Fraser Hill was horrible due to road blocks. That was because there was going to have an anti-government parade. Thus we actually trapped in KL for more than 1 hour before we found the highway to Fraser Hill. Besides, the road to Fraser Hill was so winding that i almost puke when i reach up the hill. The feeling of wanting to puke but unable to puke was the most uneasy and terrible feeling that i could remember.

However, once we reach Fraser Hill, i was so amazed with the fresh air and beautiful scenery there. It is very nice, peaceful and quiet. I love it. The very first place that we visit once we reach up there was the toilet. Then, we went to have a look of the apartment. Our rented apartment was okay, not horrible. It was quite fully furniture. 3 rooms with double or 2 beds, a kitchen with a fridge, some plates, bowls and forks and spoons, 2 bathrooms with water heater, carpeted floor, a balcony with beautiful scenery. Mr Ang came here before, and he thought he was staying in the same apartment and the same room too!

After settling all our stuff in the apartment, we went around Fraser Hill looking for some amusement. Well, the hill was a small town, i can say we’d visited all the recreational park. First, we went to visit the town. There is a small roundabout at the middle of the town with a clock tower at the middle of it. We saw a few Indian singers doing an MTV shot at a park there and also a pair of groom and bride doing their wedding shots. That made me thinking of where to do wedding shots in the future. My final decision is, “Mr Ang, can we not have any scenery shots for the wedding? I think it is tedious, tiring and pointless.”

Then, we went to the horse riding park. Some of our friends had a horse ride which cost them RM4 per round. I didn’t had the ride because i am scared. It was not easy to ride on the horse! Then, we walked to the archery park which located just beside the horse riding park. Mr Ang took part in archery (RM8 for 10 arrows), and he gave me 2 arrows to try on. Haha.. I missed 1 arrow, shot 1 arrow too soft which it fell just in front of us (which since the arrow dropped so near in front of us, Mr Ang asked me to pick it up, which i end up with 3 arrows) , heating the ground, heat the final arrow on the target. It was entertaining and funny. When one of my arrows fell on the ground in front of me, i burst out laughing! Haha... I never knew that i can be really suck at what i never do before. I never want to play archery anymore.

We had a steamboat buffet for dinner. We brought up all the necessity stuff earlier. The guys so scared that the girls would overeat, that they brought more-than-enough food. We end up bringing the left over back to KL. How silly?! We stopped by Bentong to have lunch the second day before we go back KL. It was a good trip.

This is me and Mr Ang taking picture with a beautiful old looking house. We invaded the private premise because we think it is so much like we were at oversea. We actually taking photos of the house at every angle except the astro satelite because then people will found out. haha..
There, all the girlfriends.
There, all the men.
