Kar May's CNY Open House

As we've noticed, there has been a drastic reduction in the number of open house over the years, don't you think so?

Largely due to the economy meltdown, but fear not, we still have open houses around. If not, even simple gathering at each other's houses would be a treat, wouldn't it?

I personally enjoy open houses. Kar May's open house was definitely one I look forward to.

Plus, when we ex-Cengal students meet up, I'm always in a jovial mood, and so is everyone.

Good food, hospitality, good company, ang pau. How can we not like such open houses :D? Let's urge for more of such gathering!

Miss my ex classmates, but one ex classmates of mine who couldn't help holding himself back from expressing how much he miss us by showing physical affection was..

Who else but Wei Kit :P.

We have more in store!

Ethan pressing down hard on the hotspot.

That's one happy chinese new year for you!

Jogging at Kampar is awesome. It is distinctively different compared to the places back at home. The following are shots taken when I went jogging.

Mining lake.

Nice going for that tyre. When you drive here, be vary of Bumps 'n' Dungs.

Then it was Chinese New Year.
Of gathering with family and friends, red packets, pineapple tarts, fried nga ku, gambling, and over-eating.

I returned to my mum's hometown, Teluk Intan.

My uncle and aunt's guests.

My grandparents has a total of 9 children all married with 9 other spouses, and almost 30 grandchildren. Can you imagine the crowd under 1 roof? :P.

Since there are so many of us, of course we have a few people who celebrates birthday together. What a mass gathering it was. Too bad I do not have the group picture, it's in the other camera.

& the grandparents still feeling the love.

Trip to Sungai Tiang, a fisherman village

The 'jetty'

& spent my whole day yesterday at my girlfriend's place. I had lunch there, chat with everyone, played Dota with her brother, & dinner. After that she came over to my place instead.

It was the first time my mum meet Jac, so Pui Foong described the situation is like 'First Day of School'. Hahaha. I can tell my mum couldn't stop scanning Jac, haha.

Somehow the feedbacks from my parents were extremely, positive :).

Ah, got to go!
Heading to Kar May's Chinese New Year gathering :).

Serene

How're you all doing so far since year '09 has started?

Hmm what can I say, I've already settle down at Kampar for 2 weeks. So far, so pretty good. Like mentioned on my title, it's serene here, having Mother Nature close in sight. However there will always be setbacks, missing the people back home.

I was back at KL for 4 days and manage to catch up with Candice Sow, attending Lee Jane's 18th and of course with my family and girlfriend.

The following are brief review of Kampar, more towards Westlake the place I'm living ;

• Hills and lakes surrounding the Westlake residential area.
• Fishing deems to be an 'in' passtime among the locals.
• Ramli burger stalls aplenty.
• Mc Donalds no where to be found.
• Cantonese is widely spoken among the locals. (Even an Indian boy asked me for directions in Cantonese when I was jogging today)
• 'Seafood' youngsters are very common.
• Cheap food in abundance.
• Bullshit in abundance too, literally. (Cow dung)

My cousin sister shows me around the place cause she's studying here as well. I'm really tired from today's long distance of cycling, jogging and walking. So I shall just share with you a few shots I took around the place.

In the Campus.

There are damn alot of storks around the lake, specificly this little isle on the lake.



The first time I heard the parking is full for bicycles. =_=

'Feast' at Wei Yen's place. haha.

Coming to Kampar, you'll be reminded to taste the goodness of CB. For those who curse alot, CB stands for.. :)

...Actually CB is a famous chicken biscuit in Kampar ;).

Correction and Error exercise for you guys.
Underline the grammatical error and rewrite the sentence :).

Around the Old Town, you can come across many shop names.

Soon Seng, or better known as Paul :D.

Haha Perniagaan Elektrik & Perabot ML! My initials, nice one. But the abbreviation ML could stand for abundance of name, Mei Ling, Mui Lee, Man Long, Ma Lo, Mi Lo, Meh Lo okay it's rather pointless if I go on.


At Kampar's old town, don't forget to drop by at MENG LEONG's! Even the Chinese wording of the name of the shop is similar to mine :).
