My initial plan for the weekend was to go back to UTP for Euphonious and subsequently just hang out with Debbie and Meili – probably go for a movie and have a makan session or something. Before I go any further, Euphonious was wonderful and definitely lived up to expectations.

During the show, it was clearly seen that ‘Salmah and the Swingers’ band would most likely emerge as the Champion due to their bombastic performance. This however did not dampen spirits of the remaining seven bands to continue competing for the 1st runner up position.

Congratulations to ‘Sour Stripes’ band members who emerged as the the first runner up and were bold enough to show everyone that PINK is indeed the new BLACK. ^_^

So as I was saying, the initial plan WAS

Itenerary

However, at the spur of the moment, we all decided to make a trip up to our favourite highlands – Camerons instead…  ^_^

So we just packed a change of clothes for the night, grabbed the camera, car keys and off we went to Camerons stopping along the way for McD breakfast. Driving up there was a decision we did not regret.

The weather was wonderful, the food was great and the view was absolutely breathtaking as always. At least it was for us and that’s all that counts.

On the whole, a great weekend, with great company of friends which made the whole trip back to Ipoh worthwhile. Can’t wait for our next outing session together.

Spicy Dried Noodles with Minced Meat - despite the name, it's actually not spicy at all. So for those of you who love chilli, don't hesitate to help yourself with the Sambal.

Was first introduced to 3JC by a good friend of mine during internship. It’s been a while since I’ve had 3JC’s. Used to be a favourite of mine during internship as the food was good, affordable and last but not least, it was a good hang out place.

It is true that I could easily get the very same bowl of their signature noodles at Imbi for half the price. But I guess the price is rather justified based on the fact that the environment and ambience is significantly better. Plus the assurance that there won’t be any extra ingredients from pests and rats scampering around near the cooking area as in most coffee shops.

Fish Porridge topped with fried Bihun

The 3JC outlets normally sport a cozy and rather traditional Chinese environment down to serving the noodles in the Good old Cockerel Bowl. The specialty here would be the 3Jc noodles. The specialty here would of course be the ‘Dried Noodles with Minced Meat and Meat Balls’. However, if you’re adventurous, don’t hesitate to try out their porridge or various other styles of noodles as everything tastes pretty good.

Speedometer

Travelled a total of 58000++ kilometres with this old faithful car of mine. From convoy drives to almost every part of Malaysia, to just simply getting around university and on occasions. going out for mamak sessions. Many memories come to mind whenever I get behind the wheel.

This car has not only been a medium of transport but also provided refuge when I needed a quiet spot. And also not forgetting, the numerous occasions when it became a sanctuary for discussion or ber-emo among close friends while on a drive.

So much of laughter, joy, tears, consolation, encouragement and ambition were shared amongst friends in this car. Some who were ‘fair weathered’ friends, some friends of opportunity.. But the most important of all are most definitely the trustworthy and true friends who were with me through the many uncountable adventures we had with this car.

Here’s to cherishing the fond memories with my little Kembara car. ^_^
