Balik Kampung - May 2012

When Lulu meets Zeta

Most probably our time-morning-eight-character not ngam, everytime Lulu and Zeta get together, unfortunate (or furtunate?) events happen. Last time, kena saman in Oxfordshire. Last last time, missed flight to Hanoi. Last last last time, Zeta's blue-colored Iswara masuk longkang.

Now, battery koyak. To view it in a positive perspective, 不幸之大幸, it was quite lucky that we stopped over at pasar pagi in Cheras to tapao breakfast. There's a pusat servis kereta. Otherwise, if the car broke down in the middle of nowhere, then, it's really unfortunate.

I'm a big fans of Francis Yip. Made the last-minute decision. Bought RM 60 flat rate free-seating ticket. Got to be there early to get a feng-shui seat. The concert started at 8pm. I was there at 6:45, to find that many aunties and uncles were already there. I'm the youngest audience.

My colleagues thought I accompany my mom to watch the concert. Mama Peh "accompanied" me to watch the concert instead. She got a package from BM, bus+First World Hotel stay. We met there.

The show started very on-time. She entered the stage singing an English song, "tonite, tonite, ..." Then, she introduced herself, saying, this is the nite for oldies, 经典旧曲, and on the stage, here is the "经典" (pointing to herself). Hah...hah...

Then, she greeted those from Singapore before she even greeted us Msians.

The first time she set foot in M'sia was back in 1972. She mentioned Batu Pahat. Hm... Batu Pahat has engraved a deep impression on her?

Her last song was the 上海滩. Everywhere she went, she couldn't leave the stage without singing her 招牌歌. Later, I passed by a restaurant in First World Plaza, with the name 上海 10. Nice name!

This is a 实力派 concert. The show ended at 9:45 pm. For the 1.45 hour, there's no costume change, no dancers. All songs. Hah...hah... just like 费玉清 concert, Papa Peh would say, the performer earns all the money, without having to spend a single cent on costumes and dancers.

Overnite at the First World Hotel. Next day, after brunch at 10am, I went downhill. Took the shuttle bus to One-Utama and back to school.

20100314 Melaka

Mama Peh has been "bugging" me to drive her to Melaka for months to meet an old friend of hers.

Overnite at my mom's old old friend in Melaka. They have known each other since primary school. It's a > 50 years old friendship. 难得， 难得...

Have been staying in USJ for the past 5 minus 2 years, never step inside Ayuthaya Restaurant. Today, finally set foot there. Food, very nice, very chi-kek, very 可观. Price also 可观.

Mango chicken.

Kerabu glass noodles.

Tomyam seafood soup.

Toilet Cat

He likes to sleep in the wet toilet.

Cat in the Tiger Year

This cat greeted me when I came back to USJ after the CNY break.

Drunken cat?
