Had 2 nites of great food. That's why they call Ipoh the food haven.

Went to the newly open restaurant, Restoran Simpang Tiga which serves Indonesian food yesterday with Farrah. It is located in Greentown business area and was officially opened by our Perak Sultan, Sultan Azlan Shah. The place was packed and there we tents ourside the restaurant to cater for the crowd. Fortunately, we were a little over the breaking fast timing thus we manage to get a seat inside. The food was good and the service was tip top.

Met up with Lyana and Bazlin who came back from KL for Raya and Su Yen and we had dinner at Koh Samui, one of the best restaurant in Ipoh which serves Thai food. The food is yummylicious. We were kinda like the earliest there and the last one to leave. Again, the food was freakingly delicious. Try it to agree to what I said. We got carried away snapping pics while waiting for the food to arrive. The aroma of the dishes makes us salivate as we were all kinda hungry. After dinner, went for a lil tour around Ipoh town before we say our goodbyes.

The ups and downs of life

The human heart is so fragile that it can be broken at any time but fortunately it can heal. That is the wonder of the human heart. Sometime it takes a longer time to mend the broken pieces but at time it takes only a short moment.

Things happen at a unexpected time. Just when you think the day would go on well, things happen.

A fight in a relationship

A passing on of a love one may it be family members, friends or even a pet

An accident

Work stress

Alas, the opposite can happen at any time also. When you think that the day would be one of your worst days, things happen to change it the other way around.

So when you think you are having a bad day, look for all the signs that will brightens up your day.

SMILE ALWAYS

A weekend gateway in Cameron

Went up to Cameron for a retreat last weekend. It was a nice one but nevertheless, it ended too fast. We were there for one night only and most of the time it was filled with session with Fr. Rudy Wong. Discovered many many new things and also managed to grab new and useful knowledge from him. Probably his talk will be my 1st step in changing the way I live. He also did two sessions of 'active imagination' with us. The sessions were remarkable. It help me to relax whats more with the soft music playing on the background.

Stayed at the Sister of the Infant Jesus, just directly opposite the Convent school. It was a beautiful place and the surrounding is very well kept. There were many types of beautiful and colouful flowers planted by Robert who is staying at the place with his family. It was so peacefull and refreshing to be around such beautiful nature. We walked around the compound whenever we had some free time while enjoying the wonderful beauty of our nature.

It was just a 5 minutes walk from the place to Tanah Rata town and thus we managed to steal some time to walk in town after dinner on Saturday and early Sunday morning before breakfast. The cool breeze really got my mind off all worries. Looking forward for more gateway in Cameron.
