Munmun's Trail : : 敏子の迹

This is the continuation of my previous Been Set Up As A Chat Topic… @ 19/5/2008 post… CL-san is one of my guy friends that I met back in my 1st part-time job after the PMR Examination many years ago of which I’m still keeping in touch with majority of them till date. CL-san 1st impression to me was a “human Donald duck” simply because of the way he talk, his skinny body built + spectacle worn and, also his kindness + gentleman move in taking cares + concerning his friends disregard of gender. Err… I can say that his is still as gentleman as he did in the past and I would still recommend gals out there not to miss a chance to understand him better to date. But, again… I’m not a tea drinker. Here are the reasons:-

1. I have totally no confidence in guy who has many gal contacts with / surrounding him particularly with those good / close gal friends.
2. He is sometimes too gentlemen to gals that I’ll be glad to take and accept his gentleness as a gal friend but a big no no if as a girlfriend seeing him treating his gal friends in such a way.
3. Most importantly, I don’t see / foresee there will be any chemical reaction between us except our buddy relationship as good friend / companion to hang out and travel with.

After almost half a year, I recently found that I was being set up as a chat topic and the entire chat session was being recorded into a 4min+ AVI file when I was traveling with my fellow course mates to Koh Samui, Thailand year ago. : S

The topic was brought out by one of my course mate during their group chat whilst I was having my shower in the hotel room which I’m totally not aware off until now. It was related to my personal life and it does make me felt ashamed till I have to dig a hole to hide myself. :’( I wouldn’t know the reason why they set up such a topic with me and him as object, perhaps they are just concern about our personal life particularly love relationship I guess. I think I shall thank them for all their concern from the bottom of my heart and I truly appreciate it without any hard feeling. However, I think I should also be given a chance to voice my thought over here since I wasn’t given so at that point of time… CL-san, I thank you for being sincere + respect to our friendship, indeed, I don’t drink tea too… =.=

Hmm… I came into this “kolot” ( old-fashioned ) way of gals knowing tactic when I was near to off duty at Canopy Club today and I found it is rather silly that I have to write it down in here. This guy came into our club and saw the gal when he registered himself. He then, sat on the lobby’s sofa and had his time reading The Star of which, I guess he is most likely cracking his head on how to get to know the gal. 20 mins passed... he finally took his action, bumped up to the front desk and asked the gal’s name after he posted a self-answerable question. Haiz… Oh no, I’m not the lucky gal definitely, I’m not attractive at all but this gal is really pretty under my beauty judgment. She is our part time staff, Terese who is at the age of her early 20s and also the resident of Setia Eco Park. Perhaps, this is also the reason why her parent allows her to work as a part-timer at our club. What if I were the gal? I will definitely laugh at him for his childish / useless old-fashioned act…. Muahahahaha… : D

Today is one of my buddy colleague, Sam’s last working day in SP. She has got a better and more attractive offer by another company that many of us also don’t think SP could counter offer her with the same incentive. Envy-nya… (^.^)

At the same time, we also feel sad because we will short of one work buddy to chat with during lunch break from today onwards. : ( Anyhow, Sam will still be hanging out with us as if she is still within our family. Hmm… looks like we have to start planning our next hang out session loh… So, when is our next wine tasting + drinking date huh? : D

All the best in your new undertaking, Sam… : )

I was initially planned to climb Mount KK again with my fellow colleagues during this peak holiday period but I cancelled it off due to another planned oversea trip end of May which is going eat up my limited budget. However, I was then attracted and joint a Hatyai jalan-jalan trip with my colleagues on these dates at the end. Well… this wasn’t a shopping trip to me since there are not much trendy thingy to sell over there except aunties goods + I’ll be going somewhere else for shopping end of the month. : D So, this is merely just a jalan-jalan, cari makan trip to us, below are what we did in 4D3N after meet up with my colleague, Sam + her friend, Tesa and depart for our journey:-

Dine at my preferred kopitiam Thean Chun ( 天津饮冰室 ) for brunch, had my favorite Ipoh Shredded Chicken Noodles ( "Ipoh Gai Si Sar Hor Fun" 怡保鸡丝沙河粉 ) + Pork Intestines Satay ( 猪杂沙爹 ) + Curry Pork Skin Chee Cheong Fun ( 咖喱猪皮猪肠粉 ) + the tempting Egg Custard ( 炖蛋 ). Yummy~~ We stopped over at Ipoh Railway Station for photos taking and take away some “Big Tree Trunk” 大树头 famous fried snacks which is also the 1st time I visit to these famous places as a half Ipoh citizen. We then continue the journey after my new friend, Tesa packed some of her belongings from her house.

Meet up with another colleague of mine, Sennie at Penang after we checked in a motel… which is the 1st time for me, overnight at motel where you can really feel the “chic-ness” around. At night, Sennie brought us makan + jalan-jalan at Gurney Drive and we had the famous Asam Laksa + Fried Kuey Teow + rojak as dinner. Apart from that, we also had our own beer hang out session later at night after separated with Sennie and had our shower back at the motel.

Penang > Hatyai
6hrs of van ride, we finally reached Hatyai, Thailand. Once after we checked in at The Regency Hotel, we had our lunch buffet at the famous Sky Restaurant, Lee Garden Plaza Hotel for just 129 Baht per pax. We then started our jalan-jalan in Hatyai, cari makan all the way. We’ve tried some special local food such as Luk Jin ( a type of sausage ball with pork + rice inside ), Sweet Mango Glutinous Rice, local porridge etc and also the not forgetting Thai Massage. Despite than these, we also bought home some crispy + refreshing mangoes and dried longan at competitive prices as compared to Malaysia. All in all, we enjoyed the jalan-jalan pretty much though it was really foot tiring.

Reached Penang at night and had our dinner at wanton mee stall owned by Tesa’s friend before we continue our journey down to Ipoh for a night stay. We reached Ipoh in midnight and had our supper at the famous Lou Wong Restaurant ( 老黃芽菜鸡 ) after we unload our backpack at Tesa’s brother’s house in Bercam, Ipoh. This is also the 1st time I had Ipoh Beansprouts Chicken a.k.a "Ipoh Ngar Choy Gai” at odd hour having been to / stays at Ipoh for so many many times ever since I was a kid.

Ipoh > KL

Three (3) years after I acted as a so called model back in Y2005 where the photo taken is still being used in some company corporate ads, I’m being called to be a so called model / talent again recently. Photos + video clips taken are to be chosen and edited into a photo album + video for the submission of Fiabci 2008 competition of which, Setia Eco Park is eyeing on the low-rise residential category this year. Well… let’s pray that our hard work will turn into a fruitful ending and able to win over the said category hopefully.
