Well.....yesterday i was in Taiping and then last night came back to Ipoh and will be here in my uncle's place till Tuesday. Then its interview time on Wednesday and we'll have to see how it goes. I have to admit that the confidence is not there. Still....we'll see about that when i'm done with it. Now for my weekend.....
It was a tiring bus ride all the way from JB to Taiping. But i made it and although i didn't get much sleep it was great just the same because i got to catch up with the family tree. My mom's side family tree to be precise and it was good to see her (mom's) nuclear family back together again. Then you can just imagine the rest of the generations accumulated and expanded from the main family tree right up to some grandkids who are my nephews and nieces. Had a great time. Just didn't expect the bomb i was to face when i got back.
Food was a delight and ranged from wide variety's of mutton, dried chilly chicken (not kong poh kai), french beans, fried shredded shark, mutton cutlets, brinjal dish and finally caramel custard for desert. Yummy huh? You can just imagine my stomach's condition after lunch and my aunts are superb chefs. And that was not all! Along came tea time and we had fried curry puffs, pagoda (kacang kuda flour kinda cucur), taiping poh piah (tai chien poh piah), butter cake with icing sugar (my uncle's 70th birthday cake in the shape of the numbers 7 and 0 weighing 5 kg's) and rock buns. Mmmmm....mmmm......
Yup....all that food cannot be healthy and it's been awhile since i've pigged out to that limit so all in all it was excellent when i started and then not very good when we got back. It happened so that i wasn't the only one with an unfateful day. We all came back fine for the exception of one cousin who was sick and then we finally all took our turns getting stomach aches and then mild cases of diarrhoea. Shucks! the pains were as bad as colic pains and we had to all take pills and then just sleep the day away when we travelled back from Taiping to Ipoh.
I was supposed to come back today to KL with another cousin. Then all the others intefered and just told me to put it off till the interview on Wednesday instead of sitting in my room in KL. Sounded good enuff to me since it's been awhile since i caught up with them too. So, basically i'm just pigging out, watching tv, chatting with cousins and reliving childhood memories with uncles, aunts and cousins. Pretty cool holiday i should say. Will be back in reality i guess when i step down in KL on Tuesday.
It's just this thing about Ipoh. Good food, life boils down to a slower pace and you just want to sit back, relax and enjoy that hot cup of white coffee. *Sigh*....I'm already gonna miss this. But can't wait to get to KL too. It's not good to start relaxing so early in life when i'm this young huh? :) Well....that's about the update for now. Will see if i can update my entry tomorrow. Until later....
