My Fair Princess & New My Fair Princess

I slept with a big smile plastered on my face. Last night, after watching Nasi Lemak 2.0 which I think its closing song is interesting, I spent the night by watching television. NTV 7 is airing "My Fair Princess" once again on 1 a.m. So I stuck in front of the screen. No, it was undecided. The show drove me. It hold my heart so that I can't think of another things except the love stories of Xiao Yan Zi, Yong Qi, Zi Wei and Er Kang.

 Actually this story is adapted from Qiong Yau's novel. The original title is Princess Pearl. The story was broadcast on 1998. Eh, I'm five then. I didn't remember when they had aired it in Malaysia but during primary school time if I am not mistaken. They had aired it again in evening when I was in secondary school. I was able to watch it, I think it must be aired during school holidays. Hmmm. :-?

This is one of the stories that I really lay may heart on it besides Hanazakarino Kimitachihe and Down With Love. Okay, the next two stories caught my attention because I like Ella. Then I will like the actors who acted with Ella such as Wu Chun and Jerry.However, I usually won't bother if they come with a new film or drama with another actress.

However, in this story, I began with loving the storyline before started to develop the feelings towards the actors. Through this story I discovered how beautiful Vicky Zhao is. I realised how charming Alec Su is. They made a perfect couple- in this story. How I wish they won't replace the casts in My Fair Princess 3... Yeah, they changed it. Not cool. The decision was not well-received by fans as well.

 Let me give a brief history of this story from Wikipedia, (suddenly I'm lazy to narrate the points. Hoho)

It starts with the tale of two sworn sisters: orphaned adventuress Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei, a talented young lady with an interesting history. Ziwei is actually the illegitimate daughter of Emperor Qianlong. Ziwei travels to Beijing and meets Xiao Yanzi. They become close friends.They begin the journey to enter the Forbidden City. Jeng Jeng Jeng...

Eh now they have a new series, "New My Fair Princess". Ehm, I'm quite interested to watch it although they'd replaced the original casts. Hopefully they will air it here on TV because I don't prefer to download or watch it online. They tried to make everything looks similar with the first series. Oh, it is not that bad. I think it's fine.  In a poll of Sina.com, more than 96% audience love old version, less than 4% think the remake is ok. Uiks, I may be the one who contributes to the 4%. Mho Hoho Ho.

 Bye My Fair Princess!

Asal-usul nama bandar Ipoh

Do you know the history behind the name of Ipoh city? The name was actually derived from a tree named "Upas". Long time ago, the Whites who came to Ipoh pronounced the "Upas" tree as "Epuh". Therefore, after years, the name has became Ipoh. I learnt this fact during my 2 days vacation in Ipoh last week.


Yes, I am a Tesl student from IPG Ipoh but since last yearsI had never went to any proper vacation in Ipoh. This time, my friend and I went to visit Ipoh and checked some places of interests here. We don't have any vehicles, besides, my parents had told me earlier not to rent a car. Therefore, we went to a place from another place by using public transportation service. Oh, I hope the quality of it will be upgraded soon.

In addition, we preferred to walk instead of using the public transportation service due to several reasons such as it is more efficient and to cut the budget as well. Mhohoho.

Gunung Lang

We began our journey with Gunung Lang Recreational Center. We went there in afternoon and it was so hot. There, we spent our time for almost two hours by looking around the island (is it?). In order to get into the island, we must go there by boat. It costed us RM 3 per person. Idk if people can arrive there by using land vehicles or not. The place is attractive and calming. It will be perfect for a picnic activities for family and friends. The place also offers us with some animals such as ostrich and deer.  We can give food to those animals.

Bila tengok ostrich, aq teringat puteri. Pertandingan memasak. haha

Then, we headed to Japanese Garden. We should feel like we were in Japan because the landscape is beautiful. However, the place will be better if the maintenance is upgraded. The place should be regularly checked in order to keep it in a good condition.

After that, we walked until we saw Heritage Hotel. At first, I wanted to perform my solat there, however, after thinking deeply, we made a decision to stay there. Therefore, we checked in and had a good rest there.

@heritage

Later, we walked to Ipoh Parade to buy some clothes for the next day and food to accompany our nights. We had a tight sleep after that.

The second say, we continued our journey after taking a heavy breakfast. We walked to Ipoh Railway Station. Then, we took several photos there.

We kept walking and only stopped after noticing some beautiful garden or monuments. It was quite funny
because we stopped almost everywhere just to take photographs. Haha.

Pokok Upas

After several miles walking, we found another place of interest which is Darul Ridzuan Museum. Thus, we excitedly entered the museum and spent time there.

In evening, we took a taxi to Kinta City. At first we wanted to go to Nasi Ayam Puziah, however, we changed our minds later.

Bhaha. That was how we spent our weekend last week. Hopefully we are able to visit other interesting places after this.
