New Friends and New Places (uncovered)

Assalamualaikum and hyee.
Sollu alan nabi😊

Last Saturday I went to stay at my new friend house. Yes. A very brand new fresh friend, Ummi and Hanifah. Haha. But the one where her house I stayed at was Ummi. Ummi and Hanifah already friends. But I'm not the third wheel guys. We met at MRA another volunteering for orang asli. Both Ummi and Hanifah had joined many of MRA programmes and I just started to be in the big family. It was my third time with them. This time we went to Kampung Bawong in Sungai Siput. The night before I stayed at Kak Ida's mother's house. Kak Ida was the first I felt kinship to. She is friendly and talkative. Wihout her (and her daughter) I think I would have a difficult time communicating and socializing with the people.haha.

Let's get back to Ummi and Hanifah.

I was surprised to know that we share almost same story (in my instagram). I consider myself a late comer in the field of volunteerism and works like helping the poor, improve the society, change the policy etc etc. So do them. And all three of us had funny moment finding the right platform and finally found the one that suit our heart most. Haha. Because of this, we became close on the first day we knew each other and Ummi took us to see the beautiful historical city of Ipoh (Hanifah is from Taiping. I mean she is working in Taiping but both are from Kelantan).

Since I don't have much time because I already made a promise with my sister, we just went to New Hollywood for breakfast and Ipoh Heritage Trail where Plan B is located. It is near Masjid Negeri and only 5 minutes from my maklong house😒.

I had Roti Telur and White Coffee. The bread was good but a little too plain. I like how the egg was halfly cooked but there is no taste that can awake me. The white coffee was soooo good if it was not too sugary. I like the bitter taste because I always think coffee should be more bitter than sweet. There was another food but I can't recall the name😅. It was like 'keropok' but with filling inside it. Ummi said the skin actually made from pig but to make it halal they used meat instead so I ate comfortably😁 and it was deliciouss. Maybe you can try New Hollywood but for me I'll go when there is not too many people and not crowded which means impossible😔😂

Ipoh Heritage Trail is beautiful place to have photoshoot so we do early maternity photoshoot haha. There were many shops where tourist can buy souvenir but I was in tight budget so I just looked around but seriously I love the handcrafted purse bag keyholder and any handcrafted material aghhh..they were so nice to see and hold but once broken considered sold (sound familiar tak😜). I also wanted to see the tea house. A place where you can know all about tea. But you need to book place first and wait for your turn. We came so late that waiting might make us see the moonlight first😌 so we just went away but I wish to go again someday.

At 12.30 we slowly walk our way from the place and I was an hour  late to see my sisters (we promise to meet a 12). Although I made a notice that I will be a little late they still gave me a monster face. Maybe because I used the word little😂🏃

Come to Ipoh guys. It's a good place. I always like a place like Ipoh. A city but not so busy with historical characteristic. Yeah, I'm traditional and born wih that nature. Vintage and old is my all time favourite. I still like kebaya and baju kedah😇 tetibee

P/s: Lets meet again Ummi and Hanifah. Had so much fun with you😘
