Well... it was suppose to be my Advance Driving session last Sunday.. but it was postponed due to some unforeseen circumstances... but I still decided to head to Ipoh for a short getaway... coz dont wanna disappoint KC's children... i always address KC as my SIFU.. coz he taught and train me to play badminton to beat with guys...
Meet up with KC in Klang for breakfast.... BAK KUT TEH!!
As usual.. we requested the touge guru cum instructor (suppose to be) to bring us around for delicious FOOOOOD... by the time we arrive at Ipoh.. it's about LUNCH TIME.... THESE are our LUNCH!!!

The serves quite some special drinks... i ordered the dragonfruit
Thirdly, we headed to downtown for more delicious food :p

After our sumptious lunch, it's about time to check in.... there were some problem about the hotel reservation that we have made earlier... So we just stay back to sort it out.. whole TK left to meet with Driftfly aka TUCK for some tea + touge session...
After things got settled.. we meet them at Old Town Cafe.. and go for our first touge session of the day...
At the check point TK, Leena & Tuck.. kisumi donno look where.. -_-
After rest for awhile... it's DINNER TIME!!!!!!
Dinner at Japanese Restaurant Kizuna (is that something to do with Kisumi?)
After dinner... it's time to get prepared for NIGHT TOUGE... but Leena had an interview session and KC need to settle down his family back to the hotel..... so we decided to have our dessert at the cozy Josephine while waiting for them
Thumbs up for the cakes.. especially tiramisu :)

=======================================
Our Accommodation
I heard that there is a NEW 4* hotel + service apartment in Ipoh town... namely Tower Regency Hotel which is located at Greentown... since KC is bringing his family so we thought of trying on their service apartment... reservation has made 2 weeks before.... when we first arrived in Ipoh at 12pm... i went to try my luck see if there's any rooms ready for early check in knowing their standard check in time is 3pm.. (quite late huh?)... so nvm laaa... we just go for lunch and come back later laa... since ipoh is not so big.... at 2pm.. i called again to try my luck.... but my answer is still the same... standard check in time is 3pm.... ok... fine... i'll just make myself appear at the check in counter at 3pm sharp..... when i ask for my room.... they told me that my room has been RELEASED!!! WTF!!! reason being im not contactable to reconfirm the room!!! WTF!!!! wasn't i appeared and called before??? this is not assure enuff im actually a genuine booking???? WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT ME TO RECONFIRM ABOUT??? they said my room has been released and ask me to take the studio apartment,,, WTF!!!!!!! IM REALLY PISSED by the un-professionalism of handling client... how can they simply release the rooms before even reach the check in time???? what kind of 4* hotel and 4* service is this???????? I insist to see their Front Desk Manager.. asking him personally how could he let this kind of thing happen?? luckily he apologize and get me back the 2-rooms apartment that i initially booked..... BUT!! the apartment he gave me was a faulty once... no kattle, no telephone, no TV remote control, door screw not tighten, bath tub leaking..... It was really my bad luck staying in such self-proclaimed 4* hotel.. no next time!!!
