Ipoh - Brotherhood

Well the day was a day of "celebration" so to speak. A good friend of mine has finally touched down @ Ipoh after his NS stint. He's looking fitter and better now, dropped about 10 kilos in 3 months? Haha. Joshua Yau welcome home! (There are SO many Joshuas, am I right lol)

Top notch Ipoh dim sum.

We went to the famous Ming Court for breakfast. The organiser of sorts, a Mr. Carl Cheong was unfashionably late though. Haha. Well at least I enjoyed my dim sum! Come to think of it it's my first since Chinese New Year with my cousins and all. Haha. That was also the time where I got my first parking ticket.. But well there's not much of a story to tell!

Then dropped by Joshua's house to see his dogggg :D and pick up some games haha. His doggie was shooo cute! It's a young Golden Retriever, still quite a puppy. I actually took a pic. Or two. Oh well. Haha!

Cute little puppy dog!

When we visited it's teeth had just grown out, so it was biting everything it could get it's paws on. Like me. Er. Yes. And my other friend. Oh well, it was so so friendly and cuuuute :) AND AND also right. It had some sort of magnetic attraction to our slippers, it was like someone stuck the label "bite me" all over them!

We propped them on top of his cage where he "couldn't" reach, but managed to chew at my friend's sandal which was at the edge of the cage. Kawaii-ness unlimited, no? XD

Extra large just for you. Because I can.

And yes he needed the leash. If not he would bug us on our way out. All the way, on our way. Out. I believe you get my point. Haha. We shot straight for Ye Olde English, but it was closed, only opens for dinner. So the guys plotted to go for Station One . Well oh well. Should've hit Aberdeen instead, it's much better I tell youh.

We lepak-ed there from lunchtime till 3.00pm ++ ! Not bad right. Played Choh Dai Di (as copied from Wikipedia) for quite a number of rounds, then went back. Dropped Lee Eu Meng, Joon Yang, Alex Leh and Ho Ming Foong back. Only Lee told me in advance, so they kinda messed up my plans to go get some Maggi Goreng for teatime at home. RAWRRR well at least I'll be a tad more healthier. Heh. That's about it.

Kuala Lumpur - A Journey

And yes the chain of events. Reached KL on Friday afternoon - met Serene there. She just came from her visa interview, dressed all formal all!

We were waiting for Stephen since his bus was from Singapore, and decided to get a drink from the awesome vending machines around Sentral. Sadly, most of them were spoilt! So we went hunting for a working machine - finally found one outside. Haha.

We went for some nasi lemak (it was really good) with Aren, an old friend of my cousin's. He fetched us from Sentral to dinner and to our home for the weekend! Check out the cuuute doggie if you haven't (there's another cute doggie coming up from my friend's house - stay posted :D) And then there was Urbanscapes.

Urbanscapes - the picture says it all! RM0.00 - Complimentary!

Somehow I won Urbanscapes passes which would be on the same day as the Liverpool match, almost same time! Considered skipping the match - but in the end my friend who'd accompany me for Urbanscapes had to leave early so ended up hitting both! Yayy haha. If you can't read pictures or something funny, Urbanscapes is an all-day creative arts festival. It's pretty chill.

Here's the wrist band I was given - orange is for 18 and up!

Met up with Xing-Yi and his friend, Aaron. We proceeded to round the place. There were many things to see, from the hot air balloon being started up, to guitar hero to an indie band "rocking" the stage. Haha. We had some random stuff too, with some "tasks" to be done. Hug or hi-five 5 random people. And all I got was this CD.

Lady Gaga.. No, it's Christina Aguilera!

Yeah. That's about it. There was one ultra-cool demonstration by some experimental duo. It was a water container set up, with 16 partitions separated by plastic walls. The top is open, and there are "crystal balls" at each corner. It conducts electricity from the balls to the water partitions, and these trigger off the synth :) once I figure out this newfangled video editing program I'll post it up for all to see :D till then Here's the video! You gotta check this out, the most eye-catching thing we walked past in the whole Urbanscapes. :D
