A trip up Ipoh, Perak....

Since I am having a slight break from weekend classes before the next semester kicks in, I took the opportunity to go down to Ipoh, Perak. Anyway, it is one of the states in Malaysia. I did not go there for a holiday, but it was more of a relative visiting thing.

In case you want to know where Ipoh is:-


The red circle in the map show Ipoh in Malaysia. From where I am - Selangor, it is about one hour forty five minutes drive assuming I keep to the speed limit.

It's good to be able to see my only surviving grandmother, aunties and uncles again - catch up with some lost time over tea and some nice snacks. There really isn't much to do in Ipoh except for eating! Food there, if you know where to go, can be pretty cheap and good tasting too. The highlight for my visit there was none other than beef ball noodles! Just to give you a rough idea why I call it the highlight - I had FIVE bowls of beef ball noodles. And, no I did not type wrongly, five bowls is correct! Unfortunately, I did not have a camera to capture the moment.

And another highlight was my 8 month old niece. She was the cutest thing! Small little baby with the fairest skin and BIG eyes. Inquisitive little baby was always looking around and always looking at me every time I made some funny face. Quick to smile, and always crawling around looking for new things to learn. I should be uploading the pictures soon once I get the time to transfer the photos from my camera to my computer!

Early morning breakfast at a mamak store!

affiliate program Morning breakfast looks like this from the table. A quiet spot just outside the restaurant, cooling and comfortable. :) Mornings are a good time to have quiet time to just reflect on things and just let the mind relax before starting it off. Like any other Malaysian, food is of imperative importance! After all, can't let the mind work on an empty stomach now can we? Thosai Masala is definitely the way to go to start one's day off! Healthy food and plenty carbohydrate from the potato mix inside it. Hmmmmmm.......... mix your mouth all wait eh?  affiliate program

the price of love - take 3

Deep down inside each and every one of us lies an innate power to do things for another person. Some things that can be beyond explanation, sometimes even silly and sometimes just really impossible to imagine. What I am referring to really is the ability of us human beings to care for someone else. Actually if you think about it, all living beings on this planet show the innate ability to care for one another. It's amazing how one person can show so much care to another person without requiring a reason. I definitely admire those who are able to care for another person selflessly. I may not know my ability to care for another person but I know I'd give it a good shot in caring for someone I love - parents, siblings, girlfriend. Personally, I think the will to care for another person will come naturally like the rainbow after a rainy day. I think inside us resides a little vault of emotions that entwines itself to form a chemistry of emotions that manifests itself as a plethora ...

Entrepreneurship....

Every now and then, some people make it big time in the business world either from, pioneering a fresh new business strategy to improving something that is thought to be already at it's best. Entrepreneurs can be found in virtually any part of this world. I guess, when you think about an entrepreneur in a global perspective, the first few people you might think of would be - William H. Gates who founded Microsoft, Steve Jobs who brought to us the iPod or even Warren Buffet arguably the best investor in THE world. Bring it down to a narrower perspective, the local scene - Tony Fernandes co-founder of AirAsia and Teh Hong Piow founder of Public Bank Berhad (equivalent to a PLC), and of course there are many more! I guess, there are times when we sit down and ponder, "how exactly did these people turn out to be who they are?". Were they born with such innate ability? Did they have parents that constantly gave them inspiration to be their own boss? Did they have a natural eye...
