I’m back home for a week now and I’m still not in the mood to blog. The travel bug is still in me, and jet lag is not exactly over yet. I’m still thinking of Bali!!! There are a lot of the above kind of statues which I gather are some deities for protection, not [...]
I am really enjoying myself in Ipoh. As usual I am in IMax checking FB and emails. Eating is of course the top priority when I am in Ipoh. Bali vacation is way too good that I do not want to leave. The Balinese are such peaceful people and their way of life is so [...]
I would certainly go back to Chicago again if I get the chance. Our short weekend trip of 3 days was not enough. We started our adventure on a Friday, Feb 18, S picking me up, picked up the rental car (Toyota Yarris), drive out at 8:15 am next morning, speeding most of the way [...]
The beginning of last week, my friend, S, and I were talking about cooking Malaysian food when we meet up at her place. I was up to it. However, on Wednesday she called telling me about her crazy idea. The crazy idea was taking a road trip to Chicago on Saturday and return on Sunday [...]
From Datong we went to Pingyao by train. We took the 9:05 am train and arrived Pingyao at 4:30 p.m. The train ride was a good one. We booked sleepers, bottom sleepers which are called “sah pu”, whoever reads chinese, it’s written on the tickets, so you can tell me if I said it right! [...]
Continuation from part 4. We arrived Datong at 8:30 p.m. on the nuts. Got out the station and started looking for a cab. There were a bunch of cab drivers and it’s all up to us to pick who we want. Bro was talking to one or two and there was another trying to ask [...]
The next day, both mom and I got up early again to roam the streets, mainly to look for a hutong. We need to check one out since we are already in Beijing. I told my mom I think where we went for our noodle stop on our first night after arrival, is also a [...]
Ok, it’s about time I get this going, continuation from here. After our whole day walk at the Wall, Ming Tombs, Temple of Heaven and then to Wangfujing St, the next day my bro and his gf didn’t join mom and I to Summer Palace. So, both she and I ventured out on our own [...]
Continuation from here. June 16, 2009: Mom and I woke up earlier than the other pair (bro and “wife”) to get some food for our excursion to the Great Wall, Badaling section. The driver actually called us at 7 a.m. letting us know he was waiting for us but our appointment was 7:30. Good thing [...]
June 13, 2009: DB took me to the airport, found out my scheduled American Airline (AA) flight departing Minneapolis (MSP) to Dalls, Fort Worth (DFW) was canceled. Confirmed me on another flight departing MSP 15 minutes earlier to Chicago (ORD), ORD to Narita (NRT) which worked out great with my other connecting flight from Narita (NRT) to [...]
OK, I had better get this blog back to life. I think my peeps might think I six feet underground or something. I’m back home, home with a routine especially I’m back at work since yesterday. I am eating my healthy version breakfast, lunch and dinner. No more of the curry noodles or Hakka mee [...]

….I will be leaving the house to the airport. Every thing on my to-do-list were scratched off. Having my last piece of peanut butter sandwich with the last of the soy m. The boys do sense something is going on – they are clingy and Cooper is already merajuk-ing since last night. I patted him, [...]
