so was ‘busy’ settling stuff as shown below (the mosaic picture in the older post)

ah, and one of them was watching the local production-Great Day.

it's good to see local productions are earning their deserved recognition..

you know the annual Hong Kong movies that come out for the CNY rush? it just has that feel since last year’s Woohoo/Big Day with SL mates.

i hope it will keep going and get more recognition like Ice Kacang Puppy Love did,and make Malaysia proud =D

(actually, watched Singapore’s Homecoming as well soon after this movie last weekend,LOL.. syok-nya two movies in a day..XD )

and now,i should attend to the ‘sinful’ red capped snack containers.

but before that,

=D

so here’s the sneak preview:

so what do you see? =D

nah…..i wasnt on a plane, i was in Jusco.

so i saw this old Japanese couple,trying to ask for the direction for some..‘food’.. the sales assistant told them the direction of the food court. but they still seem confused..=_=

then they went up with the escalator, and they asked another guard again.. and the guard told them the same thing..i doubt that’s what they were looking for..

this time,i decided to chip in and kay poh..=_=

somehow i knew they were referring to the fresh market,which would be at the ground floor..

so i told the guard to leave it to me and i’ll show them the way..

*action* =__________=”

i wanted to start speaking my Japanese! but……….i forgot how…..

arghhhhh!! *runs in frantic circles*

well i better not embarrass myself,i thought. so English it was.

so anyway i brought them to the place and YES,they were referring to the fresh market. then i left them there.

while i was picking up my own stuff i was still so worried about the old couple,i kept wanting to guide them all the way or ask them how they are feeling..

then i really met them in the fresh market. and we paid at the same counter. but the Ojisan was too busy trying to figure out yet another set of information the cashier tried to tell them he didnt notice me. anyway they settled it pretty soon. and i had to pay my stuff so i didnt even went up and ask ‘all OK?’

and when i finished paying my stuff they were nowhere to be seen =_=

i just hope they are alright..*prays hard*

you know,the hospitality and kindness is so important to tourist or newcomers..they are so..kesian..=.=

so i think,erm,be a good samaritan, but only when the situation allows.

so on friday night, i went to book the crab dish (yea no kidding here,save that for later) and went ahead to meet Ah Shing @ the hotel..

while we were catching up, i was told that they need a tour guide the next day..so i was like: OK no prob.

and boy what a ‘tour’ it was.

so i pumped the petrol then went home and google-mapped all the routes til midnight then forced myself to sleep.

yesterday morning i woke up at 5am and did the routine. departed by 6+ to pick them up for Dim Sum. but we only head out by 7+. and damn, as an Ipohan i cant figure the route to Foh San initially. =_=” coz getting in the driver seat and sensing location/direction while walking are two different things..all things got complicated..im so sorry!!

So anyway, i brought them to Foh San and we were so lucky as the up stairs’ has just opened, which means we get a table right away!

as i told Ah Shing,i settled all my cravings of the prawn noodle rolls,the prawn and scallop dumplings,and the fried prawn rolls. (same to the maggi and burger and stuff i was craving for this week. OMG what has this become.)

do you sense all those PRAWNS?? woohoo!! (and this will relate to my dinner last night!)

by 9+,we went back and checked out after the lot did crazy shots in the room..XD and you just have to praise me for my years of Paparazo-us skill to capture these:

Ah Shing!

oh that’s Bryan,Kimberly and Ah Te =D say Hi!

LOL..

we went ahead for Perak Cave Temple (just one of the many in the mountainous Ipoh)..then one smooth route all the way there..

and what we did there was just beyond my own expectation. all of us prayed, climbed (YES.), and DINED!! we got free tea and porridge from the caretaker auntie there. so it was like, so holistic and bla bla bla LOL..(by this time my battery is 50% drained out. so, thanks to the porridge!)

[oh and Kimberly?no worries! you’ll see the path eventually! =) ]

we went along the long Jln KK to the Perak Museum, and all the way down to the Old Town area. (once again i parked so far off the spot. =_____= )

since all were not hungry yet, we stopped by the Kinta River for more shots then proceed to ease the heat @ a restaurant my bro once brought me. i was hungry by then so i ate. they all got the egg tarts as the tarts were just fresh out of the oven.

we decided to go to Ipoh Parade but we ended up jammed in search of a parking lot.=_=”

in the midst of walking Bryan told me some guy was ‘admiring’ me. =_____=” i was all covered up under the air-cond,plus i had my spect on without makeup..ha..i have no idea who and why. coz if it was someone i know,i should’ve got a missed call.

anyway sent them off earlier than the designated time to settle the tickets and wait for the train earlier.

by the time i was home my braind shut off and i cleared my hand bag,the clothes plus bathed all robotic-ally. (absent-minded-ly) =__=

i practically had to pull myself up for dinner.

and thaaaaat’s when i sense what Ah Shing told me on the way to the train station.

coz when i went to the restaurant enquiring for my booked crab dish,my brain suddenly registered it as something i booked days ago when i just booked it the night before!! =__=

ah but all nice with the crab tang hoon and clams..YUM!!!!!

cost us RM50 for the crab tang hoon and RM15 for the clams..but very nice la..

after that i dropped dead on the bed. =_____=”

but then i did wake up.that’s how you see this post.

thanks.

and splurge..

the two terms i often encounter in CLEO,

where steal means the price is so cheap you must get it,

while splurge means something so good you must get/invest in it despite the price. (my own interpretation,thanks)

AND I DID NOT ACTUALLY/REALLY PLAN ON SHOPPING SO EXTENSIVELY!

anyway, target shopping FAIL!!!!! like miserably..

initially i was just going to get a toner and the dried noodles then research on the CNY decor..but..aih…..

STILL, i got some pretty stuff at some good price..

[so those of you who’re @ Ipoh,rush to Jusco to grab if you want]

PART 1:

Cheetah Polo-T (for CNY’s casual time,and since it’s on sale for RM19.90 i just grab it. call it a steal?)

MNG Denim Legging (*scream*!!!!!!!!!! i finally got it!! and it’s ON SALE!! i grab the second last piece for RM99! i mean,these kinds of essential is a splurge,no?)

Flower necklace and earrings (from Jusco and grabbed it when it just caught my eyes,something that i’ve been wanting for so long, when i sucks at accessories,really. )

Magz

ah…..that…..

so cute arent they? oh the top two were from Watson’s Pooh CNY series,one being Pooh in Tigger costume and the other Pooh in Rabbit costume..Pair for Tiger&Rabbit lah…..

the Doraemon and Dorami pair just caught my eyes too when i went to buy my Magz…..i knew i just had to buy..

now,i recommending good stuff..

  that’s my new Za toner and Watson’s Olive Body Lotion. (with part of my ‘treasure’ as background =__=” )

the good stuff is the Olive Body Lotion..it is so moisturising i can actually feel it’s power! and it’s not expensive as it’s just store brand.

and now…..

wait..should i go get more online retail therapy again @ Jipaban ??

ooooops…..

going to be robbed/mugged..

(yea..)

so i shared a video on my FB about those xxxxxxx cases..and here i wanna tell you all these:

i believe i wrote this long time ago: when i was nearly robbed in SL (link)

just click and read coz im so lazy recently..im just gonna go straight to the point:

ALERT – always,always be alert when you’re outside. like i said,let’s face it,at times we just had to carry handbags,but 1-dont carry when you really dont need to. (if he grumbles on you about carrying a handbag then you dont keep stuff for him anymore until you forgive him) 2-be alert but ACT like nothing by looking all around suspiciously,you’re not guilty for being suspicious,eyeing almost everyone like a potential criminal,my word.(especially motorcycles)

RUN – yes. dont hesitate to run if you have the chance (i.e, distance) dont give the xxxxxxx the chance to hold you down. never. even if they’re holding knives. FTL. i mean,not everyone knows martial arts. i’ve even forgot mine.

THROW – yes. throw whatever they’re after into a place so as 1-to give you time to run. 2- you have another chance of saving your stuff like purse. like i threw it into an old uncle’s house.

SCREAM -  yes. again dont hesitate to scream,by all means in this kind incidents. but here’s a trick- always,always REHEARSE in your mind,as in the possible events,as i said earlier,no harm to be suspicious about everyone on the street. because in most cases,the victim/survivor thought they are screaming while actually their nervousness landed them unable to scream.

then,in the worst case senario, got robbed, you have to know what you had in your purse or bag to help the police to help you yourself. plus you need to reapply stuff or cards later and you need all the info you have. oh and if you’re of age, apply a debit so you dont need to bring too much cash and you can immediately cancel the cards.

and girls,dont cry on this,be cool and calm and settle this first before you go home and cry.

yeap.
