Integricity's Office Chilling Party @ Centrepoint Bandar Utama

At last we had our office warming party. But this is instead called the Office Chilling Party. Why? That's because we had 6 cartons of New Zealand Natural Ice Cream for all of us to enjoy!! =)

Taiping Part II

I was back in town the last weekend to visit mommy. Since I was back there, just wanted to show you around this small little town called "Taiping" which means peace, where I grew up in.

Taiping Wan Tan Noodle is always unique for me and no where else tasted the same. This shop is just next to the KFC in town. Only RM2.40 / plate.
I am surprise that during a recent 8TV review on budget holiday, they did not feature Bismillah as one of the must-go place for roti canai breakfast. Above is a glass of Teh tarik with fresh cow milk. It's creamy.
What is so special about Bismillah's roti canai is it's "kari serbuk". Ask for that if you were ever there.

Weather in Taiping has been very warm the last trip I went back. This is the place to go. It's right below of Larut Matang building or opposite Chinese Methodist Church. This is the place I normally hang out after a hot day marching under the sun during St. John weekly meeting on a Saturday.
They called the place "Shuiet San" in mandarin which means Snow Mountain. There is no snow mountain ice kacang on this picture simply because we didn't order them. What we have here is Lin Chi Kang with blended ice on the right, white sugar in the middle, and a normal ice kacang with ice cream. Here you can get a fruit juice for only RM1.20.
One of Taiping's signature Fried Kuey Teow is the one fried with fish ball and char siew.
Fried oyster or o-chien is quite popular in this hawker building too.

Jalan Panggong Wayang. The hill at the back is Maxwell Hill. A bit hazy though.
One of the place where you can get good bargain is the Bazaar.
Countless sweat and tears I have poured out for the sports called swimming. The place where I grew up as a kid. But I am glad I went through it.
Evening sky in Taiping.
The Taiping Prison was built in 1879. 129 years ago.
Clock Tower. Still "ringing".
One of the streets of Taiping where I once roamed. The second house was actually my grandma's house where I used to hang out.

This was my mode of transportation to school. Nope, no mountain bikes, or any fancy bicycles.
New addition to the town in Taiping. It's one of the most happening places around in Taiping now. Just right opposite the housing area where I am staying.
This is going to commence soon. End of the month. Apparently there will be Starbucks and also Cineplexes in this building. It is just right next to Tesco.

There you go. Will try to take more photos of the Lake Gardens in my next trip back.

Do pray for mom, as she is not feeling well.

This song has been ringing in my office area where I sit and my room. It's peaceful yet very engaging.

SPELL - Marie Digby - mp3 here

Spotlight shining brightly, on my face

I can't see a thing and yet I feel you walking my way
Empty stage, with nothing but this girl
Singing this simple melody and
Wearing her heart on her sleave

And right now
I have you, for a moment I can tell I've got you
Cuz your lips don't move
Something is happening
Cuz your eyes tell me the truth
I've put a spell over you

Beauty emanates from every word that you say
You've captured the deepest thoughts
In the purest, and simplest of ways
But you see, I'm not that graceful, Like you
Nor am I as eloquent
But just a simple melody
Can change the way that you see me

And right now, I have you
For a moment I can tell I've got you
Cuz your lips don't move
And something is happening
Cuz your eyes tell me the truth
I've put a spell over you

And all my life I've stumbled
But up here I am just perfect
Perfect as I'll, ever be

I have you, for a moment
I can tell I've got you
Cuz your lips don't move
And something is happening
Cuz your eyes tell me the truth
I've put a spell over you

Friday Lunch

It's going to be ironic for this post to be up since my last post. Anyway...

It's gonna be a long afternoon after the Friday lunch with some of my colleagues. JS aka Kepong Boy brought to this place in Batu Caves to try the "Sang Har" Noodle.

Big Prawns with Watt Tan noodles.

Delicious...

Pei Tan(Century Egg) with Pai Kwat (Pork Ribs) Porridge.

Tasty steamed Kampung Chicken. And we also tried their mee mamak. It was awesome.

Location:
Just right before Batu Caves Temple, after the round-about, take a left-turn. Restaurant name is Pan Heong.

Price for all that we had? : RM122.50 divided by 6. With the same price you paying for Delicious Miss Read, I would rather come here for a change. =)

Till then...
