Family dinner

The weekend back in Ipoh was amazing. First of all, I got to say that the amount spent driving back was taxing and made me felt lethargic but it is always good to be back hometown, surrounded by people that love you through and through.

Well, we went for a dinner....basically to celebrate Mother's Day and my big bro's birthday. We went to Healy Mac's for dinner on Saturday. It is an Irish bar but since my family don't drink alcohol, I'm the only one who ordered a pint of Kilkenny.

 

Anyone who know me would know that I love Western food and this is the sort of environment that I love.

 

The food was amazing and it definitely filled our stomach....

We went for a walk around Ipoh Parade before going to Starbucks for a drink....

Check this out...I poke the bear bear!!

Besides the dinner and some time spent hanging out in Ipoh Parade and Starbucks, I also managed to meet up with Addie for a short yum cha session. It was definitely a great time catching up.

Well, now that Sunday has come to an end, time to prepare for work...Monday is about to kick start!!

Birthday dinner with YenLeng

Was back in Ipoh again....two consecutive weeks...

Anyway, today I went for dinner with YenLeng to celebrate her birthday. It was something simple, but enjoyed the time spent.

Say cheese!!

We had dinner in Scotch....it was a rather old restaurant in Ipoh but one that I kinda like.

Coffee is served

We both had soup before the main dish....I ordered the mushroom soup while YenLeng actually ordered the Chicken soup.

 

 

We ordered the Chicken Chop and Chicken Maryland....

One thing that I really love about this place is the environment and the design of the place....

After that, we actually spend some time shopping in Jusco....of course, we went for Haegandaz after that as she wanted to eat the ice-cream there....been talking about it non stop since it was open in Ipoh.

While waiting at the entrance

Happy face!!

 

We ordered the SEVENTH HEAVEN and it was amazing....fantastic with variety of flavor, all chosen by YenLeng...

 

It was definitely a great night. Happy Birthday!!

Sir Alex Ferguson retires

The idea of Manchester United without Sir Alex Ferguson?? I think it would be rather difficult....but that is about to happen. Sir Alex Ferguson will be retiring and David Moyes will take over most likely. I am sure it will be a tough road for Moyes....not many people can follow the footsteps of probably the most successful English football club manager.

When Sir Alex Ferguson took over in United, a remarkable quote from him that will always be remembered:

"My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their f****** perch. And you can print that"

 

Of course there are many famous quotes such as describing City as noisy neighbors....there are moments that he seem to just lost words....

In 1999, when United won the treble with 2 goals in stoppage time to win the Champions League, he simply said this:

"I can't believe it! I can't believe it! Football! Bloody hell!"

Well, Alex Ferguson is a legend, not just because he helped United won so many cups and titles....but it was the culture, the team spirit and the way United become so much different from other clubs....

HAPPY RETIREMENT SIR ALEX!!
