My Success Journal - 4 May 2008

1. Woke up early and prepared a hot pot of coffee for the rest of my colleagues, now my good friends to warm their body before we start the day. Drove to Sungai Palas Tea Plantation and we stopped by a number of good spots for phototaking. Love the greeneries and the vast span of tea plants, even striked a few interesting poses. The road leading to the plantation was winding and narrow, I had to horn horn to warn the oncoming vehicles that we are coming dangerously near. Overall, a smooth drive and managed to skillfully manouver our way up and down the hill. Had a good light meal of peppermint tea with tuna sandwich and thick chocolate cake :-)

2. Went in search of roti cheese that I miss so much ! Luck was not on my side this time, apparently the shop selling the roti cheese is no longer in operation since the last time I visited them. But, we managed to buy the last 2 sticks of yau car kuai and had a hearty breakfast of century egg porridge with minced meat and claypot rat noodle. Was yummy, can't complain :-)

3. Then, it's shopping time ! Bought flowers, lots of vegetables, crystal corns, royal honey, cameron apples, dried preserved cameron apple/rose/passion fruit/bittergourd ... had a great time bargaining and testing the food :-)

4. Drove all the way back to KL in good timing, becoming an expert in the winding drive and had dinner at Sri Gombak, a sumptous servings of herbal chicken in coconut, curry wild boar, sambal kangkung, stir-fry spinach, yellow wine chicken and assam stringray, all for a mere RM46 !

5. All the kids gave me a big bear hug each when I reached home. Hmm... my home sweet home. Nice :-)
