Work + coffee + roadtrips = TIRED


More photos from Nandos. Doesn't the chicken look yummy. It's Tuesday morning, i'm sitting here in the office, drinking my coffee and looking at a picture of a chicken. Talk about lazing and not doing work!

A picture of my division. Check out the guy 'posing'. Hehehe... obviously he was the butt of jokes for the week!

Anyway, the past weekend just rushed past like Flash Gordon. Went to Awana Genting for a workshop on Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately, didn't take any pictures with my phone. Plus lost RM50 to Uncle Lim. Had fun though. Was pretty interesting and helpful. By the time i got back on Saturday, it was already 6 something in the evening. Didn't have my housekeys so met up with Farrah, drove her car back and chilled in her house while waiting for my housemates to return home. Went back home at about 10 pm, changed, packed and out i went again, this time for some Starbucks coffee with Farrah and Mahes and met up with Miss P later. Was really sleepy by then but knowing us, we just couldn't go back home and sleep (like normal, sane people) so we ended up having supper THEN going back home. Even after a shower, we didn't sleep until about 4 something in the morning and we were supposed to leave KL for ipoh at 8 am (which we did!)

Drive to Ipoh. A picture of Farrah speeding so that we can blackmail her next time :) We only reached Ipoh around 11 plus am though, coz we somehow drove into selayang and ipoh and stopped for some good ole' char siew pau on the way. Then we had to stop at a rest stop on the way to buy some kacang and a weird looking fruit called 'tampoi'. By the time we got to the wedding, we were already full. But of course we ate the food served there too!
I was pretty impressed with the clarity of the camera. This picture was taken at the maximum zoom. Not bad an investment, I must say. :)

Picture with the bride and groom. The groom is a good friend of mine from HSBC. Have known him for 2 years and he's my so-called macho man :) Means, I get to bully him into doing stuff for me. The stuff in the IKEA bag is actually our wedding present. Bought them a lamp with a really nice shade. First time at a Hindu wedding ceremony. The priest was doing a whole bunch of stuff which I didn't understand and had to get a narrative from Miss P.
After the wedding, we went round Ipoh town and stopped for some of Farrah's egg custard. Forgot to take photos from this point forward. It was amazing how we could eat and eat and eat. After the egg custard, we bought some 'famous' curry puffs and portugese egg tarts to save for later on the journey back. All of us were really sleepy by then so to keep awake, we went to a shopping mall! Walked round there, bought some stuff, then it was off to eat again! This time, ate famous Ipoh Hor Fun with Bean Sprouts and Steamed Chicken. We actually witnessed a snatch theft while we were eating. This guy on a bike snatched a lady's purse and there was some commotion but the dude had already sped off. Nothing much anyone could have done. After that, we were so paranoid and hurriedly finished off our food and clutched our bags close to us. I slept all the way back to KL. Reached home about 9.30 pm, Sunday night.

What an eventful weekend. Shifting to new place and going to Singapore this coming weekend. Must remember to take more photos!
