A Sweet Escape

That was a sweet escape... ES-CA-PE!!! *phiew*

Today i came to realize that my car driving license was dead!!! Well it not exactly dead, its expired. It wasnt much a big issue considering everyone's driving license would expired one day and have to renew. Else you're driving at your own risk.

Now here's the fact:
Fact #1 - My driving license had expired for 5 months. I repeat, 5 MONTHS!!!
Fact #2 - I went to my company's branch at Kulim, Kedah in October for work.
Fact #3 - Attend my colleague's wedding last weekends at Sungai Siput and Ipoh, Perak for food hunt.

And the best part of all, i didnt got caught. *innocent*

So at 9.45AM, i skip my breakfast and went to JPJ to renew my driving license. It only took up around 5 minutes to get everything done, starting from my waits until my new driving license is processed. That's very efficient. But it cost me RM30 per year. Looking inside my wallet... 3 years. Since i escaped 5 months and with some math, i saved RM12.50. LOL.

As for now, im now very hungry...

Colleague's Wedding

I attended my colleague wedding on last Saturday at Sungai Siput. Thats about 2 hours of distance from where i stay. Departed from Penang around noon with 2 cars 9 passengers. Considering wasnt sure of the route, i could only tag along my colleague's car ahead of me.

congratulations to Wong SzeSze and her husband!!!

Doing 110 on the freeway, we had quite a number of adventures. Massive truck scream its horn on me... oops, sorry. Countless U-turn we've made along the journey. GPS navigation system making a fool of us with endless loops of "recalculating" and got us once in a wrong direction. Along our way, we got Miku John and Ah Tox entertaining us with hilarious PenangHokkien tales.

Arrived at the wedding dinner and were bloated with 10 course meals. Surprisingly the first dish or rather the appetizer, was served in generously large portions. Beer, wine and liquor. We were even summoned to go on stage and sing a song or two for the night.

we're singing... la la la...

hidden truth, he wasnt too good in singing... =x

we look too serious for the photo didnt we?

okay, not so serious... =)

OMG! Adultery!!! LOL, just kidding...
It was one of the games held before meeting the bride

Once again, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

We learned that the flies in Sungai Siput are bigger and tougher. Unlike Penang, they come in packs, they aint afraid of you. Its one thing we're sick of, is having flies all over the place. And the best parts of all, the flies become a customary sight for the locals. YUCKS!!!

the flies even on the wedding car

On Sunday, we head over to Ipoh for dim sum at Foh San. Ipoh Jusco for shopping, Kuang Sing for Nga Choy Kai, Perak Cave Temple (Pi Li Tong) for heritage visit and dinner at AutoCity, Juru. Unfortunately, we didnt have a chance to visit Kellies Castle at Batu Gajah, Perak as well.

On our way back to Penang, we stopped by the rest house for bio break. Guess who we met? One of the TVB actor and also a Sek San, Leung Mun Hou!!! He and Kun Yan Na was food hunting at Ipoh. Here's the link.

Its been a wonderful weekend. Though sleeping on a rock solid ground with least comfortable mattress, but its a great outing. Everybody had a good time.

P.S. More photos will be uploaded once i've got them from my colleague... Stay tune.
