Auspicious Day & Time

We left for Taiping on the first day of CNY after brunch at Bo Sue's place at about 3pm. Never read the Tung Shu ...cos don't know how to read mandarin, consulted with Lillian Too or Joey Yap. We just decided it was a good time to drive after we were fed and ready.

Traffic was very good unlike siu pang yau's earlier report that the highway was jammed. That was at about 11am. We got to the Ipoh toll in less than 2 hours. No speeding...well occasionally hitting 140km at certain stretches otherwise was hovering under the radar. Pleasant drive too. No untoward incidents on the road either. Marlboro-man was a good boy all the way, never once asking to stop for a fag. He only pulled his fag out when we stopped at the toll to wait for a friend. Sumandak is and always has been a good travelling companion. No complains or bitchin. Lucky is the driver to have such good company.

Caught this beautiful shot of the rays breaking through the clouds after the rain. Very biblical no? Very Christian? No...it is the glow from the Golden Pig breaking through the clouds of Doggy year heralding the Porkers reign till the next lunar new year. Bitchin huh?

We arrived in Taiping an hour later.
