The Inside Out: Exploring Ipoh

My last semester break is here at last! Sem IX glided past without my notice and I'm officially left with 10% to complete M.B.B.S.!! It's however the toughest of the toughest to get past that stage. Sigh. Should just keep this worry till I start school.

I'm here in Ipoh and supposed to be back in KL by now, but dad's car overheated and we've gotta stay over for another night. Was supposed to meet Dr. Cheong for dinner too but I stood up because of this. So, when it's Ipoh I'm talking about, there's apparently not many tourist spots I could visit. More of a food trip if we follow the norm, yet we decided to do something different this time.

Dimsum @ Foh San.

I saw this creature at a shop, and my instantaneous reaction was "WAHH!! LION!!", and everyone turned back. See it does look like a cub, doesn't it?? That's a chow chow larhh..

We took the chance to visit the Kellie's Castle that afternoon since we had nothing planned to pass time. For the first time, me and mom didn't want to go shopping cuz Jusco and Ipoh Parade are already a bore to us. It was told that this place is haunted, yet we were there out of curiosity. When I told mom it's a beautiful castle and people always go there for photoshoot, she actually thought it's one of those castles in Disneyland, which was why she agreed to go. LOL you could imagine her reaction when she saw Kellie's castle. She was grumbling endlessly that we tricked her there and how will anyone ever thought of taking pictures with just bricks? Oh, my mom is so cute! How can she think that there's a Cinderella's castle in Malaysia??

The abandoned castle where Anna & The King was filmed.

And these three guys are nuts about SNSD, they even suggested this pose.

Since everyone is in a Korean craze, we went to Daorae for a change to celebrate Jiawei's birthday in advance. Alvin bought him a original SNSD's photo album @ Phuket by SBS, shipped all the way from Korea and gracious me, I never knew my bro can be such a fanatic. He even got one for himself and a few collections of star cards?? Unbelievable. These stuff ain't cheap, okay? Throughout the trip, they kept playing SNSD's songs repeatedly till I keep reciting Gee in my head now. Rawrrr!! And guess what?? My parents are more updated with Korean dramas than me now. They think their children are cool cuz Alvin and I communicate in Korean occasionally. >.< Juu juu juu juu, gee gee gee gee, oh oh oh oh, baby baby.
