• ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!

  First and foremost (though a little late), I just want to wish you guys a Happy Chinese New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai and all that. I'm sure most of you people had fun baliking kampong and whacking bak kua.
  
  

  
  

  
  Me?
  My family did the usual stuff we do every chinese new year -
  Drive down to Malacca, spent 3 days, 2 nights there and went through the same routine; visitations, makan, and more visitations.
  Well... Er... It's was super duper fun WEEEEI... (*sense the sarcasm?.. hehe...)
  
  Ok, that's all for the chinese new year part.
  I've celebrated my fair share of CNY and am now back in Penang. Arrived just about an hour ago.
  Boy oh boy, it turned out to be a really good trip.
  
  You see, I left KL around 4pm and picked Shelby up along the way.
  We drove up and made a pit stop at Ipoh to pick Kevin up. But we also came to Ipoh with the sole purpose of whacking the chicken wings we ate the last time we were there.
  DARN GOOD CHICKEN WINGS OKAYYYY... *salivating*
  Buuuuuut, to our disappointment, that particular shop was closed. Being the smart alec that we are, we totally forgot to take into account that people were still on Chinese New Year break and practically half of the existing coffee shops or restaurants were closed.
  Crap.
  Thus, we had to settle for something else.
  And that something else really wasn't too bad at all.
  Kevin brought us to this noodle stall that was located literally in a morning wet market!
  And the noodles were really goooooood... One word sums it up - STIM.
  The shocker was this - One normal bowl of noodle only costs not RM3, not RM2 but only RM1!!!
  RM1 per bowl man!! You go all around Penang also cannot find food as cheap as this!!...
  Shel was saying if she was a beggar and if she managed to get RM1 a day, she would go there and whack that bowl of noodles everyday. hehe...
  I think I would too.
  
  
  We were sitting smack in the middle of a market place whacking the noodles... Quite an experience I must say.
  
  
  
  
  The noodle that only cost us RM1!
  
  So that was our food escapade in Ipoh.
  The plan was to head back to Penang after our dinner but we got... er.. distracted... hehe.
  By what you asked?
  By this...
  
  
  
  YEA, BABY! We went to an old school funfair!!
  It was along the way and we were like, "What the heck, let's go just for the fun of it!".
  And so we did.
  Hehe.
  In total, we sat 3 rides.
  First, being a super duper fast ferris wheel (No seriously, it was super fast).
  Second, I don't know whatcha call it but it's this thing where we seat in and it goes round in circle really fast.
  Third, we went for a 30 seconds haunted house ride .
  It was hilariously scary!
  
  

  
  Old school tokens baby!
  

  
  

   
  

  The Haunted House
  

  
  Let me tell you this for a FACT, no matter how much people trash talk and say that haunted house ride doesn't spook them out, they eventually will be afraid once the ride begins.
  I mean I was spooked out.
  Shel and I sat in the same cart whereas Kevin sat alone in the cart before ours.
  Our cart entered the house first, followed by Kev's.
  Then halfway through the ride we heard someone screamed really loud... I mean like really LOUD.
  Shel and I looked at each other, then we burst out in laughter cause that person was actually Kevin Ho Siang Chuan!!! Hahahaha...
  Super hilariousssss!!!
  But it was really good fun... The ride was lasted for like 30 seconds or so.
  So people, don't need la to control macho... It's ok to be scared.
  You're suppose to be scared anyways... hehe...
  
  Yup, after reliving our childhood funfair experience we finally left Ipoh for good.
  No other distractions along the way.
  The ride back to Penang was good as well.
  We made up stupid and nonsensical questions like,
  If you can sleep with one person in the world, who would it be? *jeng*jeng*jeng*
  That kept me awake for the rest of the journey... hehe.
  Good stuff.
  
  P/S: The next time I'm going down to KL, I MUST stop by Ipoh to whack those chicken wings again. It's so    good!! I WANT MY CHICKEN WINGSS!!
