My Life After Taylor's by Lisa

Hello everyone! How has life been treating you after SAM?

I am now a student in Monash University Sunway Campus enrolled under the Bachelor of Arts programme. My units are psychology, international studies, writing, and journalism.

My first week in university is far from what it was in college, as many of you would've known by now. We are treated no longer as teenagers, but as growing adults.

Urgh..why am I going on this boring talk. Here's a vid I'd like to share with the whole class:



This is ME! Performing with my band (Distorted Symphony) at HELP University College for it's ice-breaking session for the first year students (2008). The quality of the video isn't all that great. And neither is my voice, I know. But it's OKAY lar! I hope you enjoy the vid!

The first song is "Trees" by Marty Casey and the Lovehammers, and the next one is "I Don't Love You" by My Chemical Romance. We performed four songs that night, and the other two songs didn't make it on tape.

As some of you know, my band joined the Youth '08 Band Competition some while ago, and therefore I couldn't make it for then Genting trip (I SAW THE POST!! IT WAS AWESOME!!). Well, we lost. Haha. But it was all good for it was our second time playing in front of an audience, and we were the youngest band there. Exposure sake, you know?

Well, I hope everyone's doing okay. Would surely love to hear from all of you soon!

Do add my onto your list if I don't have you.

Before I part, ARSENAL ROCKS!!!! XD

Take care! I miss you guys. And thanks for such a great year together!

Ipoh Mali! (edited by Tony Sin)

Okok, i'm supposed to post this up long ago but anyway, here goes. 2 saturdays ago, me, Yi Wen, & Grace went for a trip to ipoh. We left kl from puduraya at around 9.30, & reached there around noon.

DAY 1!
Grace & Yi Wen posing for the camera in the Konsortium Bus we took

The bus stopped at Terminal Medan Gopeng, where we took a cab to St. Michael's Institution, a really old BOYS school where the likes of Tony and Sandeep were produced. I can't really remember the long history of the school, so if anything, please refer to them. But what i do remember, is that the cab cost us 12 bucks!!! Now we've finally found a place with cabs that are more cut-throat than ss15 Subang Jaya, haha.

St. Michael's Institution

Upon reaching there, we waited by the roadside just outside St. Michael's Institution. It was seriously a hot hot sunny day. We waited and waited...& finally...

Tony arrived!!!

He took us across a really big field, shortcut it seems. We were the only jakuns crossing the field, minus an indonesian guy who went the opposite directon.

The field we crosses

Upon reaching the 'other' side, we stopped by & had lunch at this little makan place called "Ice Ice Baby", which is kind of similar to the Little Taiwan opposite Taylors. We sat at the most comfortable spot available. Below are some pics of us having lunch there:



& for all the hard effort Yi Wen poured in to take the pics of the food, which means we had to stare at the food for at least 5 minutes each time it arrives before we can start our makan, here are all the pics of the food we had:
Stupid BALLs, that's what its called...


The strawberry fried rice that Grace ordered. The next time you go there, don't order it...seriously, i ended up finishing it...

Shortly after that, Tony's mother came & brought us around Ipoh. We really got to see lots of stuff, thanks so much auntie!

Ipoh Post Office

Ipoh Old Railway Station

Ipoh High Court

Tun Razak Library

After that, we stopped by at 'Rasa Sayang' for the main reason we came to Ipoh...Ipoh Chicken Rice!!!

The Ipoh Chicken from multiple angles

The Soup

Next stop, after all the eating, we went to get some 'Hak Pak' whitch was soya + cincau. Seriously cheap, only 70cents per glass!

This is where we had our soya bean water

Look at the queue!

There was even this 1 whole family who came in a car for a Soya Bean Expedition, check this out:

Next, we went to Jusco in Ipoh Garden to jalan-jalan & watch movie. & before we knew it, it was already time for dinner. We met up with...
... Sandeep, who took us to 'Ipoh City & Country Club', where we were not into the restaurant. Had to be dressed in 'proper attire', the waiter told us. So we went circling around before finally settling at the 'Royal Perak Golf Club' for dinner at around 9pm.

Sandeep ever posing...

...but caught off guard here! haha

After makan, we took a drive up to Meru Valley in Jelapang, where we saw all the big big houses which is actually located at a quite isolated area.

Some pics we took on the way there...

You can find this pic on Grace's Facebook profile pic, hahaha

Meru Valley Golf & Country Club:

Guess who's that? Haha

All the stupid things we did...with a air jet

Lying on expensive grass...

Now for the last stop of the day, we dropped by at 'Lou Wong' for supper:

Pak Cham Kai, Taugeh, & Hor Fun, what more can you ask for supper!

End of day 1...

DAY 2!

Nothing much on day 2 la, we had breakfast at 'Foh San', a very old & famous Dim Sum restaurant in Ipoh:

Shortly after we filled our stomachs with food, we headed to Sun Yun Loong coffee shop for the famous Ipoh white coffee. Yumm..... It was delicious!

Time flys by to fast, as it was time to head home. Well...that sort of sums up our whole 2 day 1 night trip to Ipoh.

Thanks so much to Yi Wen & Grace for the lovely photos.
Thanks to TONY & his parents who brought us around Ipoh & for offering me a place to stay for the night.
Not forgetting Sandeep too, hahaha.
K, thanks everyone for making this trip so enjoyable!
Hv a great time in uni!
Take care, & see all of u G12s!!!
