Ipoh Mali Ipoh Ipoh Mali...

Anyway, on the 5th and 6th of May..which was precisely last saturday and sunday. I was working for HP & Intel in Ipoh...(which would explain the title). I'll cut the details short and focus more on the on-goings which started from friday morning..... (Breakfast)

Since it was a job recommended by Leonard, he did the polite thing in taking Jireh and myself out for breakfast ...though we had to get up at 8am. We went somewhere near ampang for breakfast and while on the way there...there were 3 coincidenence.

1. Saw Jireh's aunty's car
2. Saw my Dad's previous car
3. Saw Aunty Karen - Leonard's mom. Leonard doing justice to his food Take a close look can you see the bug on the windshield?

Observing the speed limit....

We were heading to meet Leonard's colleagues at his aunt's place. And from there we were going Ipoh mali Ipoh Ipoh mali...(don't know if it's the right way to say it).

(Fast Forwards)

Soon Marcus took us to some shop in Bidor. He says that he stops there almost everytime to have the duck noodles.. Opposite: L to R ..Andrew , Leonard and Jireh's arm

It was a good meal....and so the journey continues....(Fast Fowards >> )

We arrived at the place where this event called "JomHeboh" was held....near the Perak FC stadium. Don't really know what's the meaning of "JomHeboh". Jom to me is "come along" and heboh seems like "make noise". LOL.. The booth was more or less setup except for the tables and stuff where we had to get work to kick-off.Translation: Processing Intel Core 2 Duo. Computer greatness starts with Intel.

Our jomheboh booth : Jeff and Marcus checkin it out

As Leonard looks on....

Jomheboh bersama Hp dan Intel was the favourite line of our Dj....

After setting up, the booth...with those tables with black cloth. We had to wait nearly 2 hrs or maybe more than 2 hrs to wait for the telecom fellas to fix up the phone wire. And it was a really long wire...i mean really long...

So mainly that was it for friday, we checked into the hotel and soon went out for some dinner.

Inside Heritage Hotel

The Ferrari parked in the V.I.P spot infront at the hotel

A food place with the most ridiculous name ever....

The not so nice shirt we had to wear throughout the JomHeboh

Some hawker stalls....well actually alot of them. This is only a short stretch....It was more like a nite day trip than anything else.

Close to far: Jeff , Marcus and Andrew

Handphone Accessory Shop...but look what are they selling...??

7-11's Main Rival so far only seen it in Ipoh and no where else....LOL

The following day, i woke up about 6am to get ready because. I spent the night sharing the room with the dj..who appearantly is a smoker...and when i returned to the room...it was kinda smokey. So hard for me to sleep....easy for me to get up....

Arriving at the stadium not many people there....so started unloading some stuff....including stickers and prizes.
The prizes for "lekat & menang"
And so we basically go around spotting people with these sticker on them every 3 hours like that..
-I realized something while doing all the sticky work. That people : -

1. Don't like stickers sticked on them
2. Despite sticking on thousands of them...we can barely anyone with it
3. If you've spotted them, and tell them they won...they seem reluctant to believe

Those were the laptop supplied by the other company on display.

Another thing i realized, well i don't intend on offending any Ipohlian (not Ipoh ah Lian...people from Ipoh don't get me wrong). The laptop ranges from 1,999 - 3k something. Apart from the fact they threw freebies in...it was just so so. But there were people buying laptops all over...and some even paid in CASH!!! Cold Hard Cash....a whole bundle of RM50 . I'm not surprised that maybe some even bought motorbikes at the Suzuki booth with cash too.

The Clowns hard at work...
Of course some people just ignored them ='(
Looks like the clowning job got the better of him....hahahah

We ended saturday pretty late. It's my deepest regret not to follow Marcus and the rest out that night. They had some lovely desert...and i said

"Unless i try that desert, i won't leave Ipoh...cause it's almost like not stepping foot into Ipoh by not trying it"

Sunday was another packed day
Literally i mean....see for yourself.

However , to my amazement.....even the Police opened a booth at the jomheboh offering this...
Read it yourself....


Well, i was quite relieved to be leaving. Plus the night before i witness Chelsea surrendering the EPL crown after drawing 1-1 with Arsenal at the Emirates. What made matters was on the night is where we parked...some idiot double parked...if only my phone had battery i would have take a picture of his number plate. I don't know what on earth was that fella doing...almsot everyone else who double parked had left...and he...NOoooo....had to hide inside the crappy concert that was hebohing Ipoh to bits.

Got up early on Monday morning for Dim Sum....the food was okay....but the service the waiters gave were kinda dodgy...
That was only a fraction of what we actually ate...

The backshot of that Ferrari...the number plate is WPS 18

Front shot

There was another Ferrari parked near Leonard's Aunty's place. Never seen so many Ferraris in such a short span of time.

Anyway, i'll cut the other details as it doesn't interest anyone. So ipoh mali ipoh ipoh mali....

Signing off,
