Ipoh, the state capital of the state of Perak in Malaysia is a city located 200km from Kuala Lumpur. It is at least a good five and a half hours from Singapore if you intend to take a nice long drive from the Lion city. Popular opinion have stated that Ipoh is the ultimate place to retire to. There, everything moves at a pace slightly faster than a snail and it is peaceful, serene and even on a normal working day, things are pretty laidback. It is even more laid back than Perak's second largest town, Taiping as here the roads are wide and everything seems to be slightly better laid out than Taiping. Anyway, what makes a trip to Ipoh worth the drive then?

The food I suppose, as everywhere you go there are shops selling famous Ipoh noodles and to a lesser extent Ipoh white coffee. But on another scale of things a motoring enthusiast may fancy something raw and rustic about Ipoh

retire in Pulau Batam better than Pulau Ubin (or worse).

  • 10 terrible wedding songs

    A song can have a catchy title and/or chorus, but its true meaning is only found within its lyrics. If you're planning your wedding, any song about breakups, cheating/infidelity, and being the other woman has no business being part of the reception playlist. Most people, however, take the song title to be its meaning and don't consider its actual content. Here are 10 songs that sound romantic but should be avoided. 10) Irreplaceable – Beyoncé Don't mistake this for being

    More aliens on Earth?

    "Scientists Just Discovered a Creature That Breaks the Rules of Life". I mean, that's quite the headline.  Sukunaarchaeum mirabile is also quite the name to pronounce. But yes, that's the name of a recently discovered organism that apparently challenges the traditional scientific definition of 'life'.  There's a fair bit of scientific jargon to sieve through, but the quick summary is this: Cells are considered "alive" because of their ability to self-replicate and reproduce, whereas vi

    Your next action film recommendation: Battle Los Angeles

    I’ve always held a keen interest in the armies of the world, the wars that raged, and the weapons used. Therefore, I usually appreciate a movie (preferably an action film) if there’s an army element and lots and lots of bullets involved. Well, Battle Los Angeles (2011) doesn’t disappoint. With explosive battles and intense drama, you find yourself rooting for a group of resilient Marines tasked with defending Los Angeles from an alien invasion force. And yes, it’s on Netflix (for now), and

    This should be the true Singaporean national dish

    Singapore is known to be a melting pot of different cultures, races, people and of course, cuisines from all over the world. You can probably find food from most places here in Singapore, but we also have some dishes that we like to think of as our national dish - okay, google says there isn't an officially declared national dish, but Chicken Rice is one of those that's often mentioned. Yes, we all love Chicken Rice, but it isn't really unique to Singapore.... Nasi Lem
