So the only other famous thing in Teluk Intan is this chee cheong fun. It's not your ordinary char siew or prawn filled one but rather, it's filled with fried dried prawns and preserved vegetable. It was ok, not a fan of dried prawns, so I guess that's why I wasn't too keen on it. Oh well, it was worth a try.

p/s: I can't figure out how to blog more than on photo in one entry using flickr...hence the 2 entires.

Teluk Intan

Leaning Pagoda

Hey folks, I'm back! It was quite a relaxing week working in Teluk Intan actually, since the client closes at 5pm. Not much to do there so we spent most of our free time watching tv.

The trip there was interesting to say the least. I overshot the turning into the client's place and went 20 km before realising that something was wrong. We landed in the next town, and probably scared the daylights out of the woman we asked for directions. "This is not Teluk Intan anymore! It's Hutan Melintang!" Oops. Turned back and managed to find the place in the end. It wasn't my fault, we were following the map that was given to us, how were we suppose to know that the "Teluk Anson Food Court" was really the "Teluk Anson View Restauran". Bleh... didn't lose my way back though!

This, is the famous leaning pagoda in the town center. It's leaning because er something about how the land is sinking every year and er that's why it's tilting or something like that. Wasn't really paying attention to what the client was saying as I was too busy trying to snap some pictures.

Off I Go Again...

Am heading to Teluk Intan (it's in Perak, somewhere before Ipoh) for work tomorrow. Sien. I have to drive and it takes bout 3 hours as per my colleague who went the last time. Hopefully we'll finish work quick quick so I can come back on Friday afternoon since my colleague is off to Ipoh on Friday afternoon which leaves me driving back alone. Whooopee. What fun. I'm now stocking my car with sweets and cds filled with loud happy songs. Pray that we don't get lost as we both have no clue on how to get there. Hopefully the map given is trustworthy!

Anywhos, I boldly took a picture of the chocolate fountain when we went for Mother's Day lunch last week. Hey, I wasn't the only one... Mmm. Chocolate.

p/s: I'll drive carefully and not too fast as my mother and brother have already warned me that my car is light and should I go to fast, I'll probably go flying. SMS me if you know who won American Idol!!! GO JORDIN!

Is this a weird looking cow or what? And no, it doesn't belong to me. I was just bored in the office last week and decided to take this pic. I'm pretty sure no one's gonna steal her cup...

TGIF

So it was back to work today and it wasn't so bad just that most of us couldn't wait for 5.30 to come.

Exam was so-so, spent too much flipping around notes to find the answer (yes, it's open book but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be a problem, you try finding the answer to a question like, "According to soandso(1997), his thoughts on this was..."). It was like trying to find a needle in a hay stack. Seriously. "-.-

Anyway, I satisfied my craving for a brownie yesterday and I'm going to enjoy myself tonight with dinner at TGIF. Yum.

Enjoy your weekend!

As opposed to two days ago, today...

I still think I'm getting sick or rather I hope I am getting sick. :D

Phone did die, but i got a new one!

Pay has gone in but is going to decrease rapidly due to the new phone...

Exam time tomorrow. Booooooooooooooooo. On one hand, I can't wait to get it over and done with so I can go shopping but on the other, I don't wanna go back to work!

Hope I don't flunk... The stress is starting to kick in again...
