Christmas and Soya Bean


I always like the Soya Bean. I do not have any preferences on any choice or any particular shops as long as it is smooth in mouth and tasty. Soo King always enjoyed the same. Soya Bean will remain forever in my memory as I did not fulfill Soo King last wish to have it. She requested two items but I only managed to get one, while I said we always could have it later and did not really need to have it now. I am still regret on this.

This shop is always proclaimed the best in Ipoh town and I believed the crowd of line up was really scary on the Christmas holiday. And so I told my friend to drive off as we can always return and we do not need to join the crowd to squeeze through. I hope I could still find the time to try the soya bean curb again.

Teluk Batek

We decided to have a short half-day trip to the nearby Teluk Batek on the Christmas break. The kids were overjoy when hearing that they could be on the beach again as they always wanted to have some funs with the sands, sea shell collecting and swimming.
It was morning at 7.30am but both of the kids were not awaked yet and so we only started off the journey at 8.15am. The journey to the beach took us nearly 1 hour and I accidentally drove the car to the TLDM (Royal Malaysian Marine) and stopped by them at the entrance. I could only laughed as this was the first ever mistake to Teluk Batek after numerous trips before.
At arrival, the kids dashed to the beach and having their funs. The little on always wanted to have sea shell collection. I did not know from where he had this idea of collecting but he insisted. It was a great day for sea swimming as it was cloudy and windy. We spent nearly 1 hour inside the water before cleaned up.
We then stopped by at the Kampung Koh for a great lunch with crabs , fishes and prawns. All of these just costed us RM70. It was really excellent as we could see the restaurant immediately filled up with other customers. We reached home at 1.30pm and all I could do after parking my car was to have myself rested on bed. I slept till 6pm while the kids watching video without the complaints of tired. Well, I know this is sight of aging for myself.


We normally do not have Christmas count down. This year was a bit different with some little fun with the kids. We turned on the youtube with Christmas and the kids were sing dancing on the bed and we popped open the juice.
But what really interested the kids were the gifts. They grabbed them and opened to find what are the special gifts. After all, I did not prepare these gifts but my sis did. The kids returned me with some hand drawing cards.
It is Christmas again. Merry Christmas, SooKing!

I am so sad seeing loss of 4 children in the news.

My heart really sank when I read such a news where all 4 cute children were drown. I always avoid such type of disaster news. But I could help myself to ask do we adults have all the safe guard measure to the kids?
Is it our ignorant and negligence?

I am having my kids back this evening for the Christmas Eve and I will definitely cook for them, a long suspended responsibility of myself. Kids, I will cook for you once more.

After all, it will be a gathering dinner for my loved one.

離思

離思--曾經滄海難為水,除卻巫山不是雲

若天上有知, 望收到至愛的離思, 他朝有縁, 天上人間携手相聚

A near miss

I may not be an absolute careful driver but never a reckless driver... On my way home after dinner from sis's home, I normally will need to pass through a narrow street. Tonight there isn't much difference. The only different was that there was a reckless motorcyclist dashed out from a junction. I braked and skidded but fortunately I drifted to the opposite of this motorcyclist and manage to avoid a deadly collision.
I reminded myself to always careful and cautious about such incident again. I will.

Finally back...

After almost 1 week off home and country, now finally back rest on bed. There had been some great feeling for this trip with two kids. Will need to look for some times to arrange them for sharing soon. But now I need to rest for a while...

A new grand restaurant



At the side of this restaurant, it used to be an economical shopping spot for the local. I remembered I spent quite a number of days and nights there with my parents brought me there for buying shoes, clothes, begs etc. But it has since been in transformation to a grand 3 storey exclusive restaurant. I am looking forward to be a guest in this hall when it is ready before the Chinese New Year.


Moment ago, I went back to Kampar for a night as the kids are spending the school holidays with their grand mother. The kids always like to be at the grand parents' place as they will be king and can openly demand for anythings.
I went to the nearby lake, which is also the entrance to the Unitar and it is indeed a long stretch of lake side with fence. They are numerous youngsters and oldsters fishing at night. Everyone seems enjoy the cool night and relaxing fishing with chit chats. I could also withnessed some couples dating at a spot or two. It is really a nice haven for the local to enjoy the nice and night scenery. After all, I hope people do not damage but can maintain this nice spot for relax.

Waiting for my turn...


Last Sunday I was at hometown and my dad reminded that they would be a bit busy due to customers' booking for palm reading. He claimed the customers came with bus. Wow, I was really amazed on hearing this and so I grabbed the Canon and dashed to the scene.
It was about 9am and yet I really observed there were two buses at front with approximate 30 - 40 waiting customers. I did not really know why people came in group for palm reading. Well, my father never want to read my palm but yet accurately providing some hints to others. After all, it is reference for me as far as the palm reading is concerned.



It is always a place of people for food. Last Friday, I tried again and the place was full of outstationers. How do I know, well they spoke either Hokkien or Mandarin. These are rarely spoken in Ipoh where majority only bother to greet in Cantonese. It was full of people, including some Mat Salleh.
It would be better if there is free WIFI..lol


Today I received a letter from H bank informing that I will need to pay off the unauthorized transaction; as the transactions were conducted before the bank was notified. On reading this letter, I just cut the credit card and rang the H bank that I would need to cancel the card. I took out another few cards and all potong on spot.

This action had trimmed down the card total to 3 and I am still considering cutting another one.
