~Food Haven2~

Our Merdeka countdown was held at home,where Chin Leong was upstairs catching up with his One Piece while May Ching and I,though looking like a zombie,stay put to the sofa,watching Live television from KLCC and Sunway City in KL,the magnificent display of fireworks.Lame as it sounds,we even thought of standing upright in front of the TV when the National Anthem was played.WE didn't however..Too tired kana..Plus,it does look silly doesn't it?2 morons or zombies in this case,tired out and can barely stand trying to stand in front of the TV?Nah,if we are patriotic,it doesn't matter lots if we do or not stand upright when the slow pace National Anthem is being played..My last year Independance Day celebration in Malaysia,spent in Ipoh,not a bad memory I think..For even if not,I'll be only glued to the TV at home too,like all years..I've learned to feel gratitude towards Malaysia,it's people and culture,the resources it has offered and so on so forth.It's a blessing actually,to live in such harmony and peaceful country,if we were to compare to other countries...As Anak Malaysia,I would even if I'll be in Japan(hopefully),promote Malaysia,think and feel for Malaysia..For this is my home,my country,where my heart will always be with,even through its ups and down..Anyway...

Day 2..woke up approximately at 9am,just as Chin Leong wanted us to..For his family were all in due to the public holiday and we headed off to have our breakfast of Yong Tau Foo..Only this restarant serves mostly fried stuffings where one of Chin Leong's uncle is helping out..Thus we had lots of "VIP treatment"..and as you all would have expected..it was again,spenldid!The food was all fried there and then making it hot and crispy..thus,it was consider "fresh" and I have a no problem trying out one of almost each.But we had noodles with it too,so I didn't managed to eat more,lack of space..haha..I was not really fond of fried stuff for breakfast but this was to hard for me to resist,after all,what's the point of going to poh to try the food and resist eating them?After that t was errr,my "luckiest" day..

WE head off to the Lost World of Tambun..It was actually a Water park by Sunway City(yes,related to the KL one) where we can even find Sunway College here..I finally found the foothill of the moutains I see everyday!!haha..This is where the water park was built,adjacent to the foot of those hills/mountains..People,I promise I would put up the pictures once I can upload my pics..It was like a mirage in the jungle..totally breathtaking..well,we were very eager to try out the rides so off we went after putting our stuff in the locker(very comuterised ones too) and head off to the Spinner,the swing like ride just like the one in Gentng Highland.The only dfference is when we are spinning,we are facing outside instead of facing the person in front of you..I can see my legs shimmering while I was up there(yea,I persuaded them to put on Sunblock,hey,you have any idea how bright and sunny that day was??It'll prone us to get skin cancer faster if not careful,you know=p)Then we start to get wet!!woohoo..What is much better than to plunge yourself into cool water in this kind of hot weather?

So we went to the tube rides,the ones that looked most appealing..Appealing is the word alright...We were chattering gayfully,and I went up with May Ching first,two to a tube you see..It was smashing!the tunnel was fast and unexpected,and I thought I was going to fall off at some sharp corners..Well,down there,it was decided that I go up once again,to accompany Chin Leong for his tube..Wrong choice..For this is where..I got injured..damn..no,it was nothing much,just a scrap of skin gone and some scratches..I got it when I tried to get off the tube,wth Chin Leong still at the back(heavy ones at the back)..sigh..It hurt lots but i ignored it and continued our "journey" to the ride "next door"..The one where we slide down,go up a slide and go backwards again until we finally settle down and get off..The life guard there told me to get some first aid,seeing my scratches and the tiny trickle of blood.."Tak ape,tak sakit pun.."I assured them..Ok then,off we go..boohoo..May Ching and I didn't got up high enough and we didn't even went backwards!!My fault,my falut..too light..sigh..We were walking off when I decided to heed to the advice of the lifeguard and decided to spray a little medcine to prevent infection..And my,I was walking alright but going up the stairs..OUCCCH!!!@%^@&$%!@$#!^

The lfeguard in the first aid room was looking around for me as I waked towards the first aid room with May cChing and Chin Leong after the lifeguard from the ride walkie-talkie-ed him.He was pretty nice with me and helped me cleaned my wound.."tak ape ler,sikit aje...lepas bersih,spray sikit mcm plastic ni..boleh main lagi..."he told me..I was relieved..Simple huh?The worst was yet to come..after he cleaned my wound,and let it dry(need to,before spraying the "plastic' to protect from water and bacteria),chit-chatting with me along the way...He tried to spray the "plastic" after it looked dry..Guess what?I already expected it to be cold,and it was..But hell,it hurts like siao after that!!He said,if it hurts,means the blood is not dry..That's when my 'mischievous" red blood cells decided to play games with the lifeguard..once he dried the blood,spray..Out comes the blood again,trickling and oozing non stop!!Hell,he cleaned it a few times already,sprayed a few times already(and it hurts everytime,but I gaman...)yet the bleeding won't stop..Reminds me when I went for blood checking when i had Dengue,everytime the needle was pricked into my flesh,the nurses had a hard time finding my veins to draw my blood out ..What is wrong with my blood??waa...after finally I was free to go on with my games,we went back to the tube rides again.."holy shit.."yeah,blood is out again..like pimples dying to pop out..So I sat,like a loner whowasted her money to even think of going to the water park,while May Ching and Chin Leong went up for 2 rides,hoping by then,my blood will clog up and I can go on..

People come ,people go..Unlike the mums and grandmas,sitting down waiting patiently for their son and daughters having fun(they pay to go in to wait??rikaidekinai...),I was there sitting,watching youngsters having fun,couple of people staring at me wondering what the heck I'm sitting there drying myself..Oh well,I enjoyed the songs being played,sing along,silently cursing the non stop flowing blood,my ill-fate and enjoying the breeze.. even helped a group of people take care of their rented tubes..not bad huh?=pI was totally dried and after (true enough) 2 rides,my blood clogged up and I went up wth May Ching,tryng out the more challenging tunnel of the four..It WAS smashing!!nice and nice ...out of words to describe already.my leg looks okay,so went with Chin Leong agin,while May Ching sat out of this,having played so many times,she got a little dizzy..Why do i feel so guilty?Maybe I felt it was my fault she had to play the rides numerous times?But I prefer them going ut to play and enjoy than accompany me,wasting their time and cash ler..Went to the 'next door" ride again,and manged to go up and backwards!!Quite high too..hurray..but yeah,blood is here to stay again..sigh sigh sigh.We caught a tiger feeding show,with me limping but trying not to show,hate people staring..It was huge,both of the tigers..Too bad left my camera at the locker..After that we went to the "onsen" which was near the First Aid room..They went to try it while I sat there,hoping the wind will dry my blood faster,but not going anywhere near the water..

"apesal x henti-henti ni??"yup,the lifeguard was joking with me."makan byk ke ,moi?""err...x ade lar..mane ade..minum air byk kut.."I replied..haha..well,it was obvious my blood was not stoping so he put on a plaster for me,ask me go get something to eat and go back in 10minutes time..After shoo-ing them to go on with the Waves,I walked slowly to get myself a snack..And 10minutes time..he peeled off the first layer of plastic and I was wincng each tme he o so.."bknnye tarik kulit,tarik plastic je..""oh,ok.."but still..It works better then vaksin huh?Got free hair removal service..=p..He was joking with me,while carefully cleaning the wound..Felt really bad cuz both of them was there waiting for me while the lifeguard was doing the first aid..guilty guilty..though they said they don't mind,but still,had I be more careful,we wouldn't have to deal with this mendou..Oh well,time to leave seing the lifeguard can't do much and hey have done with the rides..too bad I didn't managed to take a picture with the lifeguard..He was such a nice guy..Oh people,the bathroom?The toilet bowl part where you pee?It has an open air wall,meaning,they had an open-one-wall cubicle facing some plants at the back of each cubicle....Super cool but need time to adapt..=p.On the way back,saw TANKS!!yea,military tanks,ON THE ROAD!!Indepndence Day maybe..Got pic of it,post later...lucky or what?And we saw a lot Patriotic people with flags on thei helmets,2 Inidain kids about 7 carrying a malaysian flas,and the usual,car full of mall Jalur Gemilang waving in the wind..super nice

Went for Rojak at Medan Selera Greentown,with me still wet..the rest had changed..I decided not to,cuz have to take my time to clean up in order not to touch the wound..funny how a little wound can cause so much trouble and trickle so much blood..sigh..then,we got tickets(then god no one was staring at the clung-into-wet-clothing me)home and then head back for some rest..I onlined while waitng for my turn to bathe while May Ching doosed off..Chatted with some sempai who tried to be helpful and told me about some kousen but the fickle-minded me has again,yet to decide where to go...And school is 2 days away from now..OMG!!Haven't memorise Speech..die die die..Anyway,then we had inner(one can never get hungry here) and then guess what?Supper again.We were super full but still dragged ourselves to have a look at Low Sensei's sister's cafe..I was utterly speechless for the cafe was very neat and cool,like those cafe you can find in KL..And of course,the price was "cool" too..I regreted a little calling the Long Esperesso.It was downright bitter and damn small cup ler!I can only take in one teaspoon at a time,for it was strong and very damn bitter!!Well,at least I won't finish my drink so fast soon huh?After that cup of truly original bitter Espresso,we head back home for a night of PS games and Anime..They dragged me into it!but it was enjyable..I was the one who suggested not to sleep early cuz of the strong caffiene and last night in Ipoh,but I was the one also,to call the night off at 230am..haha..

I was awoken by the sms at 4.16am,and replied it at 6.40am..Managed to catch Chin Leong's brother going on with their school life..Head back to sleep and got p for more activities at 9am..Went for breakfast first of course..no idea where was the place but my..this noodle is really tasty,delicious,refreshing..you name it..it use Yee Mee but unlike others,the soup had a dose of alcohol and smelled great..It has chewy fish paste too..Neve will I forget that noodle..Then we head off to perak cave where I seem to feel that it was too comersialised..You know May Ching had to pay RM20 to get her fortune told?That is broad daylight robbery!I got to thank my leg for not able to kneel,if not I almost wanted to get my fortune told too..The cave drawings of Chinese God and Goddess were remarkebly good and I was tranfixed and awe with the beauty of it..We didn't get up to the top of the moutain where we can see,2 "ting zi" overlooking Ipoh..Oh,its was my fault again...ish ish..of all things that happened...the narrow staiway was long and steep that's why..It'll take ages for myself to limp up and maybe crawl down..=)

Well,got our delicacies and its time to head home..Chin Leong was so nice to see us off,actually..he waited til the bus leaves the platform only he leaves..how nice of him..Our sms of asking him to leave first proves futile for he stood there,after 20minutes then only went off after we did..My,my..felt realy gratitude,a bit paiseh..kacau him so many days..Hmm..but it was a nice trip,very very "yummy" one..Oh well,wonder how long it'll take to heal then?This stubborn wound of mine..hard to sleep oso..ish ish..
