Fun Time At Overseas Restaurant, Ipoh

Tonight's dinner is kind of special... we went to Overseas Restaurant to meet up with another schoolmate whom we have not seen for 36 years! I really look forward to meeting with any schoolmates/classmates whom I have not seen for a long long time, imagine... when we left school and went our separate ways, it was in the late 70s... now it is 2013.. isn't it interesting to see them again regardless of what "class" we were in those days? Science class, Art class, "cream students" or "non-creamy ones", they do not matter anymore.  No more feeling of "inferiority complex" at our age now... most important, we are from the same era and it is great to get to know each other once again!

Ours is a small group tonight and we enjoyed ourselves tremendously... tonight I have learn quite a number of things and that includes some monastery experiences, medical and psychology as well...  And this evening I am also encouraged too in a way... "Just do it!" was what I have been told... hahahaa...

 It has been a few years since I last had dinner in Overseas Restaurant... famous for their food and their high price as well...  Here's what we had...





Food that came with some sweeties right at the end.... 
At first I thought I couldn't make it cos I was not feeling very well..
But I heard that it wouldn't be fun if I weren't there, that word made my decision!
I must not let them down... hahahahaa... I must be their FUN Girl!!  hahahaa...

      Not greedy for food but adventurous in food and of course, your presence means you will bring them to good & delicious food.

    Hello Claire, your friends are nice. I heard some people like to compare how their children turn out when they grow old.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
