.....times of refreshing.....

I'm back to work again after been away for almost 2 weeks, thanks to my carried forward of 12 days of last year's annual leaves. Like every year, I do felt some blues after the CNY holidays. Well, it's not so much of CNY but rather the thought of the going back to work with the workload waiting for me to act on it and the end of the holiday season....

One of the better place to enjoy a great cup of white coffee is no other than Wan Nam Kopitiam in Ipoh. This eatery has existed in Ipoh for a very long time, probably before I existed. However, they have moved to a new, modernised and better location  in Ipoh and I never failed to patronise the eatery whenever I returned back to my hometown.  A...

They have a 4 year old kid who loves to run around and also, helps collecting empty cans drinks from the tables. Well, as I moved my arms to get the fork and spoon, I accidentally but not forcefully hit that...
