Now with all the time in the world to spend, what does a professional loafer like me do? Loads of stuff...
I went to the Berjaya Culinary Unversity College and the Lupeichun Japanese Academy on Monday with the intent of deciding on the next step. The highlight of the trip was the Berjaya Culinary University College in Berjaya Time Square. Their facilities were the state of the art: a lecturer just for coffee-making, and even an oenology lab.
This leaves me torn between two choices... do I stay and learn how to cook, or do I leave again? sigh... decisions...decisions...
Spent Monday night in Melaka. Tuesday morning, I followed my bro to the Melaka Palace to learn kung fu. Hohoho... now I know the 2nd part of the White Crane Fists.
Just like how I suck at dancing, I kinda suck at kung fu too. Must be the memorising part...
After coming back from the Kung Fu lesson, we packed up and headed off to Ipoh to visit Jessica and her family. After a wrong turn which led us on a 13 km ride, we checked into Clearwater Sanctuary Golf Resort. Out went the luggage, on came the beachwear.
The chalet we stayed in
The view from the balcony...just ignore the sleeping lump (^^)
Outside the balcony
First stop was archery. The nice Indian lady was more of a live target than an assistant, since she kinda loved hanging around the target board while we had our bows nocked and drawn. By the time we got the hang of it, it was timesup.
Next on the list was kayaking, but since it was drizzling, we went swimming instead. Splashed around until the weather cleared, then it was off to the mining pool. Switched between the single kayak and the double seater. Paddling with my sis is such a bore... She complains too much and rows too little.
As it started to rain, we moved on to fishing in the mining pool with bread. Ended up feeding the fishes.
Feeding fishes with a hook, line and sinker is fun!
Later in the evening, Jessica and family came over to visit us. Dinner was quick, and we dissapeared off to the tennis courts while the adults chatted. We started off with 15 balls, but by 9pm, we had shot 10 of them out into the darkness. (^^)
Uh-oh...
Wednesday morning started off with a buffet which wasn't. Have you ever heard of a buffet where there is no food laid out and you have to order from a menu? It can only be found here at the Clearwater Sanctuary. One of a kind I tell you! The softboiled eggs were raw... and the "fresh" orange juice was just orange cordial. Baked beans were less than a ladleful. All that for RM15...
Since my parents and sis had gone off somewhere, my bro and I headed off to the mining pool again. Without our liability, we rowed to the obsecure end of the lake and farther out. Getting tired, we rowed back to shore and headed to the in-house cybercafe. We barely had 5 rounds of Counterstrike before we had to check out.
Headed straight to Ipoh for lunch, stopping by Kellie's Castle ( RM4 per person...no way we were paying to see a dilapidated building) on the way to Old Town, but since we couldn't find out way there, lunch was at some random coffee shop. Next destination was the Lee residence.
Round and round the garden, like a teddy bear...
Dad: I'm sure it's this way...
Bro: This way la...
15mins later
Dad: I'm sure it was around here somewhere...
Now I'm here blogging my afternoon away... Can't wait for tomorrow night!
