*Monday, 10th March 2008*

Went back to Ipoh the other day for two purposes; 1. wedding dinner and 2. to cast my first vote for the 2008 election. Voting is quite interesting and luckily there's no long queue. Ipoh's weather is darn hot, however. There's many eye candies at my ex-colleague's wedding dinner, and there's 2 sitting at the same table as me. One of them, whom I saw before looked very much like Alpha that Xavier mentioned before.

The next day, met up with Defiant (the only remaining of the legendary Notroh Woods Trio) for a scrumptious dim sum breakfast at Ming Court and then loitered around Yik Foong Complex and Ipoh Parade. Luckily for him, there's a mini Siam fair going on and he managed to have a preview of the stuff he will get on our Bangkok trip in July. Read bout the fair here.

On a separate note, I managed to capture the historical moment of Malaysia's share market today.

This is what we called Circuit Breaker

For the first time in Malaysia history, the share market dropped 130 points (equivalent to 10%) at 2.58pm, 10th March 2008, triggered the circuit breaker where the system auto halt all trading activities for one hour. Reason? People were freaked out by the so called "political uncertainty" after the election. Duh...
