Journey to Ipoh...

Last weekend was my trip to ipoh...both me and my mom only went back for some mission = to furnish my cousin's new crib... Sorry this didnt come earlier... just too many things in my mind.. also, the wedding's picture also came late..

See travelling with only 2 people in the car.. my mom has the special ability to bring the whole house with her... thus, travelling will always be within the vicinity of West Malaysia. In any case mum will be travelling out of the country, she will also bring everything with her except the kitchen sink. Not like us smart travellers... I went to HK with 3 luggage and came back with 8.. :X....nyahhahahahahhaa..

See.. my mom will never learn... a driver and a front passanger. The rest of the behind is filled with bags and stuff... tsk tsk tskk.... and believe it or not.. I only had 1 bag with clothes and the other with some documents... Sorry for the bad picture.. phone camera la... i am not like some people here who has the latest technology... blek.... further to that, her luggage which contained her clothes were double of the size of my bag.... and she didnt have enough to wear!!!

We started off our journey at bout 6 am... which was kinda dark. We didnt have breakfast cos mom wasnt hungry.. so it took bout 2 hours to get to ipoh town.. at about 140 km/h i guess.. was ok.. since mom felt asleep and i was also sleepy too, I made her listen to Andrea Bocelli when she woke up.. that's for dozing off and not keeping me company while i drive..

So 1st stop was... fo san.. or foh san for dim sum.. or i dont know what you call it.... chinese dumplings???... i didnt have much time to cam whore because i was busy choosing food and stuff like that..When u step in this place... it's like this total old skool set up. It's clean, nice and placed in a somewhat prewar shop house which has the old coffee table and chairs with wooden creeky sound and marbled top..

Yum... har 9, old skool tea pot, malai kou, errr siew mai and all sorts... i could have ordered more but i couldnt finish.. Even the teapot and cuppy is old skool porcelain..

This is some scallops har 9... dont know what is it la... eat nia..

Then there is Ipoh sar hor fun.... something u dont wanna miss when you go back to ipoh.. Just like char kuey teow when you get to penang or nasi bola ayam/ikan bakar when you get to malacca......

We dropped by my aunty's kampung-ish looking house... well at least it's made of wood.. and we just chatted for a while cos she was busy preparing some stuff.. so i observed many of these plants.....

She told me its cabbage.. and it's ALL over the house... she plants her own vege!!!!! like how cool is that... if u ask me to plant anything.. forget about seeing the plant ever again....

mum being greedy...... tar pao-ed some pastries with kaya inside.. and malai kou..

You see... i could be quite bad tempered when i am driving.. but i wont be that serious till i beat up someone or something and my favourite pass time would be cursing.. you should ask wingz cos he should know.... furthermore... with my mom in the car.. she even irritates me further and i have to watch my language... OK la.. she didnt irritate me but she was giving me really bad directions which causes a commotion... so everytime she does that.. i make her wear this.....

yeap.. a general rule.... for those who irritates me will have to wear the band...

All in all the trip was good la.. cos i get to eat lots and lots of stuff and eventhough we didnt get to complete everything but at least it was really productive despite a few interruptions... and we washed the upstairs of the house, we purchased the lights, we confirmed the furnitures, bought the electrical items, got the aircons installed, the grills installed, ceiling fan, got the contractor to draft our kitchen cabinets and all that jazz ...

While we were washing, I swear to god.. .. i dont think i did so much exercise/sweating for such a long time... and when I do.... my legs weights like a trillion ton and my back is brokeback dy...seriously........But on the other hand it was all good food, productive and of course really realllllyy reallllyy tiring... some more no cute looking guys to look at.. ptui*

i think i have to go back again in 2 weeks.... more pics to come k?
