Promoter for Schick Roadshow @ 1 Utama

Just a week before my new semester start, my last job for the holiday is being a promoter for Schick shaver roadshow at 1 Utama. Before i start, all my family feel funny that girl have to sell shavers. But i'm happy working because all the girls are very fun. Another nice working experience....


Our little but interesting section just opposite the information counter at old wing. Quite near to Guardian but quite tired every nite have to move all stocks into the store when finish work.


There are lucky draw, golf challenge & fake beard photo taking. I got take a couple of those pictures myself but i won't show it to anyone because its too ugly & funny. Hehe...



Top is Helen, our super funny & fun "supervisor". Left is pretty but psycho Desiree that bitten me (she really bite very hard on my arm). Right is (oh shit! i forgot her english name. We all call her Ah Qi or something like that) who like to teach me things.


First 4 days only 4 of us working so we have great time enjoying ourself.


The two new girls only start work on my last day. Don't know them well but they are kinda sweet & friendly.

Best of Ipoh

Taugeh Chicken in Ipoh is famous but another type which is famous is Salted Chicken. Fragrance with herbal and with a touch of salty, this chicken is highly recommended must try at Ipoh. I hear that there is a branch at KL but I'm not sure if its this company.


Aun Kheng Lim salted chicken is located at Ipoh town. Some people said there is another brand which are nicer than this but we always bought from here only.


RM16 per chicken. They can sell hundreds of chicken a day to many people and tourist. Their store is full of empty boxes ready for take away only. Mostly will pre-order but they do prepare some for passerby. So go early if you didn't make reservation.


Every chicken will be nicely packed in individual box with nice plastic bag.

Hiong Piah, originally from Perak, is a type of biscuit that is well known for Malaysian. Many people should have tried before so i think i don't have to explain further.


Yee Hup Hion Piah is one of the popular brand. Nice packaging & nice taste.


One of their mini branch is very my grandparent house. Its located just outside Sam Poh Cave Temple & near the pomelo stores.


Nikki always bought a lot of Hiong Piah and many others for souvenirs.

Anyone interested can place order. I'll buy for you when i go back Ipoh. But you have to pay me back la. Hehe...

My Grandparent's Big Birthday Celebration

Last month during my exam period, we went back Ipoh to celebrate my grandparent birthday. Its been a long long time since we do it in banquet. Its a good chance to gather all the remaining family members, although have to spend some money. The restaurant is quite good in terms of their food, big portion and quite cheap compare to KL. Let me introduce the food first then only the people and celebration.


This is one of the most popular & reputable restaurant at Ipoh.


Restaurant chosen by my grandparent, my mom them decide the menu, 2nd uncle make the reservation. Good cooperation & good choice.


They only provide tea. Soft drinks & whiskey brought by us.


Super huge starter platter. Nice & delicious.


Don't worry, we boycott shark fin. This is a very tasty fish soup that is similar with shark fin soup. We can save the sharks while enjoying this traditional dish, so please don't eat shark fin anymore. No demand then no killing.


Ipoh's must eat dish, "steamed" chicken.


Yummy butter fried prawns with crispy crackers.


Fresh steamed fish.


Adult's favourite, mix vegetables. I only like few types of the vegetables in it.


Longevity noodle that must be eaten by everyone during birthday celebration. The noodle must be long and cannot cut to symbolize longevity. Different place have different cooking style but all bear the same meaning.


Last but not least, sweet & cute dessert. I don't like the red bean soup because they put santan.


After the fulling meal, its time to bring out the main "star". This 4.5kg pandan cake was custom made at Bee's Bakery, Jusco Kepong. Super heavy & huge, but very tasty as well. Bought by us but paid by 2nd uncle.


Cake cutting ceremony by the two birthday boy & girl.


People from the restaurant help us cut out & divide the cake. We only ate part of the edge of the cake, not even 10%. So everyone get to take back as much cake as we like. I took some for my next day breakfast.


Group photo with everyone attended, a big happy family from my mother side.



Our grandparent. The tiny little one is my great grandmother, we fetch her come all the way from Bidor. Nobody even herself know her exact age. Definitely over 90 and some say over 100.



I don't remember what's their relationship with my grandma but I call them "yi po & yi gong" (2nd grandma & grandpa).


My mom is the eldest child in family & this uncle is the eldest son, a.k.a my mon's brother.


On the left is the family of my mom's sister (youngest daughter in family). On the right is the family of my mom's brother (youngest son & child in family).


The lady in black is my grandma's friend. She's a pity & lonely widow, but me & Nikki don't like her. Tell you a secret, she is Nikki's ex future mother in-law. Wahahaha!


One of my favourite tradition, everyone get an angpau. Yea! Even the waitress that served our tables get it.
