Thursday June 28th

mark this day (28th June 2007) in your diaries, all ye Ipoh-ites....Cold Storage is BACK in town! yes, for those who remember (from my generation at least...gosh i feel OLD now!) there was once [upon a time] a Cold Storage in Ipoh. then it mysteriously disappeared. well, it's back again.....in Parkson's basement (yes, the same Parkson which houses Ipoh's 1st Starbucks!....and ppl wonder what's so 'happening' in Ipoh..sigh)

anyway, there i was...Thursday afternoon in Cold Storage, when it had it's soft opening. and i joined the crowd [read: almost 1/2 of Ipoh's population!] together with my aunt for grocery shopping. highlight for the day: abt 10 items or so (as put in the catalogue) were going at RM 0.10....yes, people 10 cents! including the French Loaf....which again i unashamedly joined the crowd [who looked liked refugees rushing to the UN food-supply truck] just to get a loaf! did i mention the loaf costs ONLY 10 cents? (ok, so i'm repeating myself...so what? i AM old....i'm older than the 1st Transformers cartoon anyway!)

so there! Ipoh is NOT as boring n sleepy as people think it is. interesting things DO happen...[especially around my neighbourhood at least....did i also forget to mention that abt a year ago the police n the local CSIs found a body in the drain a few houses away from my house? no? oh well, that shall go into another day's blog...] i'm not complaining....Parkson is after all abt 1km from my house...so is the rest of the town...more or less....ok, so i AM sort of 'city-girl'...

shall get back to checking mail....and Maxine if you read this, REPLY MY IMs DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!
