Khuntoria~

I've watched We Got Married (WGM), with Nichkhun from 2PM and Victoria from f(x) as a couple before, it was last year's til this year's story.

I love that couple because, they seem so real. I like Victoria because 1, she's chinese, and she's just adorable. Nichkhun coz he's sooo cute!! and romantic. love both of them.

They're just sooo cute together.

And now, I'm watching again from the beginning. ^.^

They're the 1st couple which i wanted to watch for the 2nd time. AH!

I hope i can meet someone like Nichkhun and be in a couple like both of them.

K Drama again~

^.^

Non stop K-drama.

Been following a lot of dramas after "You're Beautiful"

The one I love most, Sungkyungkwan Scandal, Protect the Boss, Fashion King, Gentlemen' Dignity, Love Rain, Rooftop Prince and now To the Beautiful you. Mostly I watch is because of the Idols especially with TVXQ members in it. For me, JYJ is still in TVXQ. :) Jaejoong, Yoochun, then other idols. but the stories are amazing too!

These are the dramas I don't mind watching over and over again.

Funny, love and dramas, lots of dramas. HAHHAHA.

Then it leads to their OST. simply the best.

Now I have J-min, "Stand Up" as my ringtone.

I love it~

Aunty Kim

My dear Aunty Kim,

She's my mom's friend, or should i say formally, a client when my mom was working in a law firm.
She's thin, and pretty with shiny white hair. We recognize her by her body frame, and her hair, when she talks, she's always in her smile. Even though she's quite old, but she's always young at heart. She used to drive around in her Nissan Sunny.

I remember when i was a small kid, i used to follow my mom to visit Aunty Kim at her old bungalow house, at sect 14. She was a friendly lady, gives lots of advises. I can't remember it now, but i do remember she was very kind and helpful.

Every Chinese New Year, we used to pay a visit to her, and she would give me a big ang pao, it was consider big enough. i would say, almost 20 years ago. She always likes to buy butter cookies for us, it was consider the expensive one, which other people seldom would buy. Whenever there's a box of butter cookies, no doubt it was from her.

She's a very happy person. Always has a smile on her face.

My mom told me bout her stories, a brief one, when she was younger. Aunty Kim is the eldest daughter of one of Malayan Tin Mining tycoon back in the olden days. She worked very hard when she was a young lady. I remembered Aunty Kim used to tell me some of her stories as well, but now i cant remember what was her stories til my mom told me again.

She's an awesome lady. She helps lots of people and she is quite well known, i cant say among who.

My mom mentioned before, just few months ago, mom visited her again, she was very old, and weak, and has a lil Alzheimer. She couldn't recognize my mom at 1st, then she remembers when my mom reminded her. It was sad to hear that and makes me think, what will happen if both of my parents were like that too? I seriously don't know how i will cope.

Then, few days ago, Aunty Kim's son messaged my mom and said, Aunty Kim has passed away peacefully.

I got the news from my grandma, it made me shocked. I wasn't that shocked that Aunty Kim was passed, but my grandma just said "you'll have 1 less ang pao to collect now" she was so serious, I really thought she was talking bout herself, even my elder aunty sitting next to my grandma got shocked too. Then I asked what do you mean? She then said, Aunty Kim has passed away. Then I got a lil relieved, but lil shocked on that news. I think she passed coz of old age.

Earlier, my mom and I went to her funeral and met Aunty Kim's family. I saw her coffin, and Aunty Kim's face, she still has a smiley face, I mean 笑容。 At least, she passed away peacefully.

I'm missing you already. We all gonna miss you.

R.I.P Aunty Kim.
God Bless.

back to taiping after soooooooo long

i know this is kinda late, but i dont care. muahahha.

i went to Taiping last 2 weeks for short holidays.

i cudnt apply leave earlier, had to go to work as work wasn't finish.

took half day leave, and insisted to take train to Taiping. My wonderful brother stayed with me and took the train with me instead of leaving early with my mom and aunt. Thank you~

it was last 4 tics, and we manage to take 2, for evening train. front seat, facing TV and last coach. or first coach. sort of 1st class. lols.
it's actually a wonderful sight throughout the journey. country side, is actually beautiful.

i can't remember where was this.

then when i reach Taiping, Ah! the feeling of "I'm here, finally!!" after so ages. i mean to the train station.

but seriously, Taiping changed. they're building another station next to the old one, and makes me wonder what will happen to the existing one in the future. i heard that they're planning to have direct track, from KL i think to bangkok. i think it'll be awesome! 

well, when i reach, my aunt and mom came to pick both of us up, and went for dinner. then back to my another aunt's house. Actually i did went to Taiping just several years back, 2 or 3 years ago for one of my niece's wedding in Kulim.

the nex morning, my aunt went to maxwell hill for morning jog while my brother, mom and I went to the lake garden, the famous Taiping lake garden. what's so famous, it's coz of its history and the garden is just beautiful and wonderful, especially thanks to the almost century old trees around the lake.

lotus lake

the winding branch trees, it's even more beautiful to experience it there

feel like swinging

tree on the roundabout

Beautiful reflection with Maxwell Hill at the background

Then in the afternoon, shopping time! til nyt, went to taiping town for dinner. actually i kinda ate 3 times in a row. my family too. 1st at home, ate some, then went to town, near a market, eat again, then went to a famous kuey teow soup shop, eat again, but my brother ate the most. i only took few bites. lols.

the next morning, my aunt's hiker friends came, and they went for marathon. it's an event, Taiping full marathon. none in the group went for the full marathon, but my brother and few other hikers went for 10km, and uncle teo, who's in his 60s, went for half marathon. omg!! then we prepare to go up to the hill for a nyt stay. 

My mom and I and another couple went up by jeep. while the rest, hehehhe, walk/hike up.

I walked up once, let's see, 6 or 7 years ago, it was still ok for me, til 2nd hut which is 2 miles or 2 km from the starting point. then walk back down, now the other gang, my aunt, brother and aunt's hiker friends, walk up for almost 10km til the bungalow we stay for the nyt. the amount of things we need to bring, oh my...

only part of luggage we had of 11 people.

it was incredible and yet dangerous. omg! the steepness and the winding roads, were sooooooooo dangerous. only jeep able to drive up, and skilled driver only. it's worst than cameron highland's. but im happy that i manage to reach at the bungalow without feeling sick. thanks to the salted sour plum. hehehhe. 

the bungalow, which my aunt rented for, few hundreds can accommodate 15 people, according to the bed available but i think can stay more, coz it's huge!!! it's considered clean. 

One of the bedrooms. it's huge actually. 

the living room

'fire place'

dining area with extra chairs by the railing

the room i shared with mom, brother, aunt and another friend

smallest room

kitchen, even it is huge.

one of the antique feature.

the hidden bungalow from the gate.

view of Taiping and Port Weld, and beyond is the straits of Malacca

it's not that high, but on the way up, damn steep

a 'leisure' playground further down from the bungalow with hanging bridge.

overlooking the whole town and sea from the bridge

the exterior of the bungalow.

The bungalow is actually the most convenient for big groups, coz if it's noisy, no one disturbs, and we can cook ourselves, there's even a bbq pit outside. it's great for big group of people.

the sun is setting

nyam nyam

ai ya, the clouds are getting in the way.

another hill, from the same range

nyt view of the town. but I cant seem to watch stars gazing. but i got to see an owl

Good morning~

beautiful tree just above the bungalow

beautiful flower.

we had wonderful dinner, cooked, and wonderful dinner. it was damn full.

the next day, morning, we all went down by jeep, luckily the thrill wasn't like the one going up. then we went to my aunt's hse, then went to eat cendol, then we head to ipoh. that's around, almost evening. then eat eat eat.

this trip seriously eat and eat and eat.

just eat.
