The Flower Arrangement

Rachel was trying very VERY VERY hard to persuade mom and I that her sessions of TVIQ with Astro has paid off.

Topic: The flower arrangement on our table
Speaker: Rachel Chan, 10
Audience: Sabrina Chan, 18 and Annie Teh, 40 (better yet known as mom)


" See the flower in the middle? The purple one? That an Orchid"
Thinks to self: Ah. Okay everyone knows that

"Next, the two leaves on top, those are lalangs. Which is a long grass"
Thinks to self: Hm.. okay.. makes sense

"Now the big leave covering the whole container is the leave of the lidah ular. They call them that because they are planted to scare away snakes"
Thinks to self: Impressive. Maybe she has learnt something from the tv

"Oh and lastly, see the bigger flower around the orchid? THAT'S A CABBAGE!"

Wrote this in KL. Unable to publish it due to sucky connection

I’m in KL and this is my Crib for the day.

(The Swimming Pool of Traders Hotel)

I’m in desperate need of getting a tan. I’m crazy fair, it makes me look blardy lala. The weather report said it’ll be stormy/cloudy today. Well, AT YOUR FACE WEATHER REPORT!

I’m also in desperate need to take a picture of myself at the poolside. But there are A LOT of people around me. And I refuse to be caught red-handed, taking pictures of myself…. especially in this hotel.

While I’m typing this, there are two men really annoying me – one buff, 25ish, OMG-I-cant-believe-your-face-ugly and the other one looks like his dad. The dad is taking pictures of every humanly-capable-pose the son does. And it’s extremely disturbing.

My favorite pose that he has done?

The one where his dad asks him to jump into the pool so he can get a “my-fully-grown-son-can-jump-into-the-air-before-landing-into-the-pool” effect. They did this not one, not two, but 4 bloody times. (yes, I counted) amateurs.

The pool side here is really nice. The only thing lacking is enough places to get a suntan since it is semi-indoor. They turn the whole floor to a bar at night. So i guess, it's pretty cool.

This is the 2nd time Traders did any form of renovation for the swimming pool so do check it out when you're around the block.

Now comes the best part of my whole trip. Ipoh might be the capital for Chinese food, but If you want diversity of Food (which tastes blardy good) , COME TO KL!.

I present to you, the heavenly-est thing you can ever produce with chips, cheese and spinach.

That thing up there, is GLOOOOORRRIIOOUSS.

And now, I have to go shove my face into more food.
*ngom ngom ngom ngom ngom ngom*
Buhhhhhbyeeaa

I finally talked Rachel into taking a picture of me. =)

I'm back in Ipoh already but took really long to get back my blogging mojo, so you get a very delayed post. This is my favorite picture of the trip:

(and yes, i did put on weight so shush when you see me)

A 40-year-old-ish, sweet, nice, furniture shop owning (HINT) guy was sharing about his recent mission trip to Taiwan

"So, were there any pretty girl?" asked the cell group eager to match make him
"Got laaah.. but there was a bit of communication problem" he says disappointingly
