Reappearance of the Iconic 2 Wheeler


The Vespa first appeared in 1968 and quickly became a timeless classic. I remembered seeing them when I was young but they were quickly replaced by the likes of Honda and Suzuki motorcycles.  Now they are back! 




Their colours make me young again. I am very keen to reuse my motorbike licence again.  Last rode a motorcycle while I was in University Malaya. Still remember the days going to watch movies with friends downtown in Kuala Lumpur and zooming between PJ Section 17 and varsity!   





Some very sleek, stylish and captivating machines.

A Wedding Reception @ Galasa Event Centre

 
Attended a very memorable wedding reception at Galasa Event Centre at Jalan Cadwell. 

A lovely couple with very happy parents and smiling faces all around.  A great wedding ceremony and an excellent venue for the occasion.


And remember, never to forget a selfie with friends. 

The main entrance. To the right is the main event hall.  On the left, a smaller pavilion with a fountain pool in front.  



Ipoh is fast becoming a happening city!

More than an ordinary Canteen

 



This is a must visit eatery at Jalan Sultan Idris Shah (Brewster Road) just before the Police Station.  The place is called "aSow gallery CANTEEN".   The word "canteen" means a small cafeteria or snack bar.  What makes this gallery different is the picturesque plants that are displayed rather than photos or paintings. 

Look at these lovely plants hanging from the top and growing from the bottom, and even from the walls.  The potted plants are irrigated by a myriad of tiny plastic water pipes. 







The beverage cum pay counter is indeed unique.  It is very simply constructed with ventilation brick blocks. 





What fascinates me most are these terrariums.  Lovely as they stand, especially this huge construct in the middle.  Some small pieces are for sale.  





And now a sample of great food we had for dinner.




Simply delicious.
