The urge to blog is getting stronger. So I shall start a topic today I supposed. The timings are always the same. Either before final exam or after final exam, or before school reopens. Yeah, obviously, this is the place where I wanted to escape from school reopening.
During this semester break, this is one of the semester break which I am not sitting everyday at home doing nothing for the most of the time. Instead, I was busy with my dad's wake and funeral, partially drained my energy up, my mom's coming-back-home trip, running some errands and also gathering with friends or road trip with friends as well, all these pretty much sum up my semester break.
Not going to talk about the funeral of my dad but he passed away peacefully, ended all those medication and stop suffering from pain. Next my mom came back from Canada, I always think that this is some sort of arrangement by god. Her presence after all sort of sadness made my days brighter a little bit, or I can say I am much more happier with her and uncle as well. I don't know what I can say to express how grateful I am that they decided to come back during my semester break to accompany me and comfort me. They never really say why they came back but I know deep down they really care about me, so they came back 2 weeks and spent some time with me. Uncle bought me few pairs of shoes, that I mentioned years ago and never buy any of them. Mom still treats me like a lil kid, nag as she always does, worry about this and that as usual, maybe she is not used to how grown up am I. Uncle gave me a headphone, a very nice and trendy one at least I felt so, LOL! with good quality of sound bass. He is always very kind to me, a protective yet sentimental type of father. He tries whatever it takes to make me feel better or happy, as long as he manages to do so. We went to try Jogoya too in KL! Nice experience for me but 2 hours is not enough to eat all of the food, I could eat more and my mom too I bet. After that, we went for supper again, you can see it from our size. lol.
My Lovely Ah foo and Ah Kim and Xiao En, thanks for everything =)

After uncle and her went back, I started to feel bored and shaking legs everyday at home doing nothing but some house chores, turning into a filial grand daughter. And then KL trip, originally was planned for Stef Sun's concert but the organizers postponed it to December for some reason. We carried on with our trip, tasting and trying out new stuff and tempting desserts or food. Food and desserts are great and the best was the green tea's desserts, the second best was the hostel we stayed, Back Home Hostel that recommended by Yiling Tan. Indeed, I was very excited once I entered the hostel, warm and welcoming. The room we had is big and clean, everything is just fine and I am liking it. I can't describe how thankful I am to have one night in the hostel. Thanks to CK and Bee, appreciate the time and energy you guys spent with us, bringing us around, trying things that we mentioned, taking us to eat nice food and introduced us places. Thanks for hosting us for the second time.

End of the KL trip, we went on a road trip to Taiping and Ipoh. We had fun in Taiping where we stayed at Sueling Inn, all meals are provided and lovely lunch and dinner cooked by her mom. "Nestum Shrimp" is one of the unforgettable dish that I had in Taiping, I can only describe it with a word 'BEST'. lol. I know this seems like too much, but I loved it so much that I want to share it here. We visited the place that how charcoal is made, Port Weld at Sepetang, looking at how the cockles were washed. lol I enjoyed seeing and I even took a video of the process maybe because the person is handsome. After that we went to Taiping Lake too and took a boat ride in a swan-like boat, the funniest thing happened was we were stucked in the middle of the lake because we didn't know we were near to the land. lol. Saved by a motorboat by holding the boat. That was fun! I like boat ride. And we met the cute little girl who has a talent of photo shooting, she took a few picture of me that I feel like 'damn, I am pretty!'. That was a day in Taiping.
炭窑 @ Taiping
Inside of the 炭窑, full of timber that arranged nicely
The whole view of the 炭窑, its very very hot and smoky.
The historical Port Weld, the oldest port in Malaysia I guess, if I paid attention according to what Sueling said. lol

The next day we went to Ipoh, thanks to Soon Sun who brought us to many of the themed cafe in Ipoh and visiting some street painting along the trip. We had Dim Sum in one of the restaurant, the food is nice and I like the custard bun so much, its juicy! And then we tried the caramel custard too, yummy! Oh, and also the Taohua! nice nice nice! I don't really know how to describe how a food tastes like and my vocab is poor! I can only say yummy or nice. lol. Then we came back around 4pm. That's all I guess.
The famous uncle drinking Ipoh White Coffee
Kiddos sitting on the paper plane!
