I mentioned in my earlier post that I met up with some special people during our trip back to Ipoh for Chinese New Year. I got to know them through blogging and we have been ‘online’ friends for a few years already. We planned to meet up last year but at the last minute, there was a change of plans and we couldn’t meet up. So this year, I was determined to drop by and meet these lovely people.
Can you guess where this place is? I love these beautiful century-old shady rain trees in this lake garden. Some of the branches even went across to the other side of the road. That’s the hometown of my dear friends. We were in beautiful Taiping on Day 3 of the CNY.
I finally got to meet the 4 pretty ladies in Taiping. They are Sheoh Yan, Yvonne, Angeline and Hayley.
Ashley with cute Avery, Yvonne’s daughter. These 2 girls were so shy and didn’t even talk much.
Besides treating us to a sumptuous meal, these ladies even gave us some delicious cookies from Taiping. I also received a nice top from them. Forgot to snap a pic of it though.
Thank you very much for your hospitality. It was great to finally meet my dear friends from Taiping. I hope to meet all of you more often. Taiping is such a lovely town. So peaceful and scenic. It has been more than 8 years since I last visited Taiping. We’ll definitely be back 🙂
Nice meeting you and family, Barbara.
Thank you for the cookies and the lovely pair of shoes, I love them ^^
Thanks Barb for the hairbands, nuts and chocolates. Next time, just bring yourself and family here enough.
It’s great to finally meet you and your family, too. Enjoyed the moment and thanks for the lovely gifts you got for us.
Yes, Taiping is a very nice serene town… hope I can meet up with them one day too! 🙂
Barb, you are so friendly. It is very nice to meet up Andy and Ashley too. Thanks once again for those thoughtful gifts that you brought us. *_^
So nice of them to give you so many ‘keen meen lai’ (welcome gifts) hehe… I think I have not gone to Taiping for decades!
What a nice meet-up!
Gong Xi Fa Cai to you and family 🙂
