great break

hubs and myself decided that we had to go some where for a break, well it really didn't matter if it was a day or two we just wanted to go some where. so, we decided to go to ipoh. oh by the way, this blog is delayed by a couple of days. we decided to go on tuesday 17.04.

early in the morning as i logged into my messenger, i was quite surprise to learn that my friend chak was awake. yeay! excitedly i sent her a message, asking if she wanted to go for breakfast? and lucky me, when it comes to food i can always count on her :) but unfortunately for me, she never seems to put on weight, i eat and have to work out hard, she eats and still doesn't put on weight! haha... anyway she said she wanted to have "nasi lemak bungkus". walked into the bedroom and asked hubs, where can we get nasi lemak bungkus now? he suggested that we meet at "tanjung putri" and so we did, we decided to meet there by 10:30 a.m.

we packed for ipoh, and drove to hartamas. met them, chatted, updated each other, and then we left. well they seemed pretty enthusiastic to catch the latest movie "jangan pandang belakang". haha, count me out! hell no i'm not going to torture myself...

we got to ipoh around 2 p.m. drove around and us being us, we did not book any hotels in advance. we like the feeling of not knowing where we'll be staying, i guess. hah! got to the first hotel casuarina, asked around but they were fully booked. then we moved on to syuen hotel, opposite ipoh parade/parkson. that hotel needs a refurbishment pronto! but i guess beggars can't be choosers! okay, so we settled for that.

zadey picked us up for dins, he asked what did we want to eat for dins before we go for our movie, hubs was kind of happy since zadey said he'd booked tickets earlier. but the happiness lasted only for 2 minutes, as they continued the conversation zadey said we were going for "jangan pandang belakang". Haha, they argued for at least 5 minutes hubs was not keen on watching it. got to the food court, we ordered:

1. ikan pari bakar
2. sotong bakar with four angled beans
3. crabs with sweet and sour gravy
4. "balitong" better known as siput sedut

the food was DELISH! iwan joined us too. as we sat and chatted, the boys planned their next badminton session in ipoh, next wednesday. yes, we're going back to ipoh next week. i couldn't believe it myself. ah well, not complaining... i like it. we had coffee at ipoh old town, and thought malik was joining us there. haha, silly us. hubs got punked! took a good 15 minutes drive to iwan's apartment, just to check it out. we loved the town houses there. a good investment! kaching!! well it's just an idea.

totally enjoyed our short stay there...
