Ipoh Trip 3 days 2 night [day 1] #friends gathering trip# Foodies

We are kindergarten > neighborhood friends> primary school friends > secondary school friends ,  which used to hang out .

More than 10 years of friendship and still counting

Ipoh, is a very nice place. Last trip we went for Pahang and Penang , so this time I picked Ipoh as I was study my diploma pharmacy IPOH before. No doubt , I confidence to take the responsible be tour guide.From Pahang to Ipoh it took us about 4-5 hours, but we decided to stay KL on day before the trips.

Schedule of Day 1

6.00am : All of us moved from KL. One of the friends was travelling overnight from Singapore to KL by bus, for our this very importance once in year trip!!!

6.30am : Picked up our friends from TBS station. 
#KL used to traffic jam at this peak hour, so I suggested maybe can be more earlier.

9.00am :  Breakfast at “MING COURT HONG KONG TIM SUM” ( It took us 2 hours more to reach IPOH)

When you come to IPOH, should try out their tim sum breakfast.  

When  you stepped into the restaurant , can saw lot of people queued for the seats. Its not kidding, and its very rare in Pahang. My friends were very overwhelmed by this situation.

Reminder : there is no my favorite “LAO SA PAO”/ ‘SALT EGG PAO’  here. If you come late at the time of 10 am above , “Sorry sir, there are no XIAO MAI vailable, out of sold!!” 

We dint go for the most famous ‘FOH SAN TIM SUM’  because the local citizens told the FOH SAN dint tasted as good as before . It became a tourist hot-spot , in the same time price went up and the taste went down. But , I tried FOH SAN’s numbers of time .The dining environment is very nice and classy, is a good place for spending leisure whole afternoon.

11.00am : Check in to our home stay. It’s a very nice and felt "home-y"place. Fully air conditioner, kitchen , 4 rooms, 2 living room, big car park(can fit 2-3 cars), max people 9 (but I am very sure it can fit more than that). Very satisfied and its very close to the center of IPOH , which very convenience for us. 
The most importance part, its only RM380 per day !! 
#its just perfect for us as we have tight budget.(The only bad, its no wifi )

1 pm : food hunting to “  KEDAI KOPI SIN YOON LONG”

Ice white coffee +toasted bread + caramel custard egg
is very perfect match to quench your tummy on hot sunny day . 
What surprising me is , the custard egg !!!\I like caramel custard egg so much !!  It served cool and melted in mouth by temperature. We kept order for that. The price is very affordable and food is very nice.

”OMG , another star of the kopitiam . The ice  coffee is very strong and "powerful" aromatic , taste the smooth creamy texture , in the same time, sweet is just well.

They were selling their white coffee in packing now RM 12 per package, and I grabbed 5 packages for my mom.# She must fall in love with it.


3 pm : The rain started .We cancelled the hotspring plan and shifted to the karaoke . Have lot fun there.

7 pm: Dinner at “RESTORAN SUCK TUCK KEE”

9 pm : Game section and alcohol drinking section in home stay.

I didn’t plan the schedule too pack on the first day, because considered of our driver.

Happy Deepavali # Life as Pharmacy ITB student #Malaysia-ITB

" This is my second Deepavali in Bandung, Indonesia"

I couldn't  really remember what happen or any celebration for last Deepavali in Indonesia. Last year, was a very disaster for me when my first enter to the ITB life.

This year, its was a very good timing.Why i said so? First, its Saturday, as we done our exam(actually still one paper left).For this year,3 new Indian juniors for new intake, I wanna seek a good redeem after my hectic 1 months of exam.

I LIKE GATHERING + HANGOUT

,which everyone is joining and spending quality bonding time together.

6.00am : I was awake from my dream. Stared at my phone “29 October 2016 ” 

#Happy Deepavali

6.15 am : Calling all of my friends and asking for their plan for today. But no one was answering , perhaps they still in their sweet dream.

#What can you assume a student will woke up early for their weekend?

“Come on emy, today is Saturday!”

6.17 am : I decided “I shouldn’t let this meaningful day , be plain”

My brain started to think..think..and think..*In the split of moment a lot of things crossed my mind *

“Should I cook something?”

”I miss Indian food ”

”Should we do steamboat for celebrate?”

”What can we do?”

”Go for Karaoke?”

”Just back to my room and finish my bunch of homeworks+ assignment + report…..and jurnal?”

“How if no one actually wanna celebrate that”

“How to cook the best indian version of curry”*Searching recepie on GOOGLE*

“Should go for some nice place have good food and full tummy? But! Where to go?”

“Or go for temple?”

“Or sleep back and pretending like nothing big deal for today?”

6.30 am : Raudah (One of my Malay friend) was calling me.*Smile wide*

The very deep voice like she just woke up ,

           “Emy , I think that our friends planned to have some indian food at 11 am”

7.00 am : She sent me those detail and address to went for the restorans.*Its an Indian Restoran –

Prabhu Curry House

My friends and I , same kostan(Hostel) were going togather!!!!

Well..For the distribution of ITB Malaysia students , there are Cisitu Area and Tubagus Ismail Area. So, we met each other at the landmark “Mc Donald” and went by same angot!!!! 

*Its very hot day and squished * 

But still the happy faces was shown on each other face.

After about 20 minutes of angot-ing and few minutes of walk, we arrived at our destination , PRABHU CURRY HOUSE. The smell of curry and those really typical aromatic , I felt so “home” , it brought me back to Malaysia.^…….^

Today is Deepavali day, for sure there were other Malaysians celebrating here, as this is the very limited version of Indian food restoran , kinda few in Bandung.

I felt touched and overwhelmed . Its good when Malaysian met Malaysians and having lunch in very Malaysia feel environment.

Our juniors were joining us after their exam! It was very funny moment when taking order for us, we made lot of noise and chaos! I bet waitresses were sweeping big drops of sweat from the forehead.

*OMG , those Hindustan song on the speaker made me wanna dance ,like a Bollywood star*

Finally the main character of the day!!!! Indian food!!

I was so confusing to choose banana leaf or the tandoori plate. I still go with my tandoori chicken plate. The range of price here is 40-45k rp  for plate serving , 60-80 k rp for banana leaf serving, and roti naan 20- 25 k rp .Beverage here , the tarik is cost you around 15- 20 k .

I  actually think Malaysia make the best the tarik, till now I never drink teh tarik as good as Malaysia in Bandung

.*Maybe because of the condense milk Indonesia kinda sweeter and taste different *

Next : The photos will tell the story.

# Monopod and camera always ready for pictures !!

You guys make my day. Its very warm to see all of us were blend into each other so well.

CNY

Chinese New Year and Valentines happen to be crash on February, It might be extremely exciting matter  for certain people..but not me.

 Long distance relationship, no Valentines flower for me.

Chinese new year.No doubt is a really importance stuff for the family gathering. Thus , I again with two ways tickets on my hand. I felt happy to be back again, but yet I overwhelmed with my guiltiness as it will be some classes skipped. The tough rule of ITB, or any else university ,student’s attendance should be more than 80 % ,if don’t wish to be bar from exam hall. I hope to pass all it, damn it if I barred  mean, I liked “A good soldier that die before war,  super innocent”(Don’t ask me, where I got this sentence, all I can tell is I create it by my inspiration)

Threw away the classes, lectures, lab, and study part, now the most concern thing here.

“MUMMY, I haven’t get my new clothes.” I sounded anxious talking with my mum at the other side of phone.

Bandung, is a  well know,  famous tourist hotspot,
                            “SHOPPING HAEVEN”. 

JALAN RIAU >> JALAN DAGO >> CIWALK >> JALAN CIPHAMLAS >> B.INDAH PLAZA

Walk,scan through every single outlet (maybe some of them left out).I managed to K.O them , scratched  it out from my shopping list within 3 days. Spent almost half of my day after class ,from outlet to another outlet, searching for my ...... “Ms right or MR right ”(clothes )

“A brave and charismas soldier will always with friends”, I brought my friends along into this “war”. Seriously, it exhausting us lot. I got my leg muscle stretched, cant felt my toes  after whole day shopping. 

 It end up with empty hand !!#%$@xx*

The calories burned, enough to cover up my whole week work out.Due to the great disappointed feeling , we decided pampered ourselves with bunch of good foods.


<food therapy always the best. >

               Damn!!it replaced calories burned of the day.

Its always good to be home

Food temptation was my biggest enemy!!

This 3 month back home,I can proudly to tell you,I eat whole”Malaysia”.

From Malay cuisine Nasi lemak, Teh tarik, Nasi kandar, Nasi ayam makcik ANi ......

to Chinese food Chao kweutiao, Wantan mee, Yong taufu,Fu jian mee, Nasi shao rou,..

to indian craving Roti tisu, Roti canai, mee goreng mamak,Tosai kari Kambing…

All was so fantastic mamaniahhhhhh!!

I rather spend my holidays with devil food ,then diet plan.    

              

Pick a sentence from facebook ,”AT THE TIME YOU LOSS YOUR WEIGHT, YOU ARE BURNING AWAY THE MONEY YOU SPEND ON YOUR FOOD FOR ALL THIS LONG”.. HahaxD lolollll it was so damn funny.

Diet plan??There was millions miles away from me,since the first day I reach my foot on KLIA2.

FriENds

When ever people mentioned FRIENDS, people will always having lots of those “Friendship quotes”, ”Friendship bracelet” , “Friendship shirt”…ect so so many else.

Friendship was  importance “element” wondering and chasing by majority among us. What I think was weird.Instead of gaining more friend , I choose to  step away from this complicated relationship.

I m writing this not on what reason, but for sharing purpose.

After this 21 years of life, I learnt through all happened and finally get this conclusion. Maybe no everyone has same opinion, at least this is mine.

“Friendship is good to have , but better with boarder 

I m having this quotes as the guide in my life , always remained me to beware.Friend suppose to be a seasoning to your life , it can make your life tasty or bad ,so the amount should be aware and adjust it to be nicely fit you.Too close ,friend will become as a burden instead a life companies that share your daily story.

When at one point, everythings happened in life that you must have your friends with or to share with, I have good reason to suspect  you are actually fall for her/him .If not ,I don’t mind to take this big responsibility to encouraged you  consider  her/him as your couple , because you guys just too romantic to be friend only.

When the day pass days,month by months and years , negative elements no doubt will appeared ,angriness, egoness, selfishness, rudeness, and so on., like a black hole that gain bigger.The selfishness and ego  growth  silence in everyone of us ,without realize sometime it may explode.Most of them end up fight but soon get back togather.

 #2 possibility# either they become very close friend or they mess up.

Why to owe a friend while at the last you gonna lost it with those unjoyful ending.

I have few friends of mine and we manage to hold our friendship for so long since kindergarten until now , in the other way my recent friendship was not so pleasent.One of the main reason that I can ever figured , 

the long distance reduce the friction between us

“The truth love hurt you the most , so friend too.”

I m having too much unflashable worst lessons,it lead my fear.

I had been betrayed,and tired of witnessing  the back stab among friend. 

“Believe no one unless yourself and family,nor friend too”
this was another quote I gaining through a painful experience.Chaos create when you too much of faith and trust toward one, but she/ he turn you up.She/he turned back to you at the moment you need them the most.This damn hurt me.

But I still believe in truly friendship existing.

I gone jealous sometimes look at those unbreakable friendship.The same time, another evil voice whisperring in my heart ,”Maybe they just good in cover those wounds ,pretend they were fine.”  

For this new years and new sem and new life, I make my birthday wishes ,one of them was get rid of those friendship problem.

So basically what principle I practicing right now to make sure my friendship end longer , longer shelf life.

1.  blended with all of them nicely 
2. Act like a balance, treat all equally. 
3.They are same,dun label one either  “normal friend” ,” good friends”,” best friends” , or” VIP friends”.

 4. Put my best effort to keep a standard distance ,so can avoid those unnecessary friction in routine that can drag to unhappiness.
5. Get away from those unhealthy activity of gossip, even I m a definitely a gossip girl.
6. I hate those sacastic friends, that never realise one word can hurt much

Hope we can  have an endless friendship until old,and play hide and seek in our wheelchair.
