the more-than-5-hours-bus-trip kills me everytime. im not keen on long travel by public transport. it makes me ill and giddy, causing nausea n migraines, i dont wanna niggle on those details, you see?.
we reached at about 6 somethin.. waited for his parents to close their photo shop. and rushed for dinner. his parents brought me to a place where his mom calls it " fei1 tian1 yun2 tun1 mian4" in english----> fly sky wantan mee. yes, literally, the mee is flewn up vertically by the hawker whom i salute him as 'sifu', till it almost or already touches the ceiling, and plunged down, collected precisely by a bowl and then served to us...
sounds inhygiene? try not to think too much while eating out in mamak or stalls.
as chinese sayings mentioned "big germs digest small germs"
whos to know who processes your food and how and why and what goes into your delicious meals even you're in a damn high end restaurants?
after that "family reunion" dinner. (as yao havent had dinner with his parents for god knows how long), yao brought me to this romantic place...~ danga bay~(as it's been awhile since we last pak-toh dy... haih.. no thanks to our hectic schedules)
tada!
found a nice spot for us to make out, er.. i mean chill out.
it's named blue bayou... nice atmosphere.soft breeze from the beach.. had some beer. some old hunk sings while playing on his guitar. it was damn damn relaxing and comfy. i didnt wanna go back. that old hunk's voice is just damn mesmerizing. m totally in love with this place.
but those guests who turned up late would be sad lo. cos i heard that the ship boards on time.
imagine me wearing wedding gown, and my carelessness n stupidity caused me to slip and fell and there goes another rose. i'll think of another awesome venue for my wedding which is more safe-concerned. on a jet? may i? or in spaceship? what bout sub?
saturday morn~
i was awake the whole night before. had insomnia...
anyhow managed to drag myself to have breakfast with yao and family
we had yao's 2nd wife----> kueh-tiao-kia.
could hardly find this in KL. let me know if you guys knew a place which serves this.
as a newbie to keuh-tiao-kia, i learnt to like the taste of it because of yao.
would like to try it again and again whenever im in jb.
then we headed to a hill. and this aint any ordinary hill,
according to yao's father this is bukit bendera, or somesort of kite hill.
such a coincidence these ppl up there are having the "international kite festival"
many countries participate in this.. japan, aussi, us, germany, etc.. i dunno. i think so.
see the lamp post? it's malaysian traditional kite--wao. Wao is not wow, though it's pronounced as wow. but it aint anything that you would wow at.
found that the pics in my blog aint as interesting as how i described them to be.
as you can see below, it's like the underwater world. we have mr. sotong the squid, and ms. cuttlefish, lil nemo, mr. too-cute-for-a- shark, octopus and sea horse.. well it aint clear here in the pic.. my fault.
see that ED tiger? (yes im refering to erectile dysfunction)
took quite a long time to rose from the ground. and to the max, the mighty tiger stil cant find his way up, thus this half-sleep-half-meditate-posture.
oo.. another fav of mine.. see this line? look closer.. it's actually made of made small kites tied adjacent to each another.. (cuttle-fish-look-alike) this is from korea.
it formed a ladder way up to the stratosphere. i think this was designed as such inspired by the famous koread soap drama--- stairway to heaven?
lil frog turned up under the sea~
yet yao adore it so much that he decided a transplant.
delicioux!
im not sure it's due to the food, or my hungry pangs..
we had lunch in manhattan........ manhattan's fish market.
i cant remember what name of the dish we ordered.. but it's flaming something XXXX.. and other platters.. as always, i love the food here, as much as i love their mocha.
taste great!!
and i think his many years of collection was for me. ahem~
notice yao's dog (by the way, his name is sei2 ye1, in english---> bastard, nop.. er.. i dunno how to translate, it's rather mean)
used it for expressive therapies... used it in my class, used it for my students' activities... they like em so much. as i told you before symbols, or miniatures/ figurines are powerful tools in psychotherapy. ppl identifies with these symbols as representation of themselves of someone they know and kinda project their emotions, thoughts onto em. recieved many positive feedbacks in using this as part of counseling sessions. (maybe i should post more bout my symbols/figurines/miniatures here in my blog to hao-lian (show-off) to you guys.
packed up and headed back to Kay-el again.
m so lazy to work.
