Living with Sarah

 I took anak comel for a one-night trip to Ipoh just before she started her new semester. Just the 2 of us. Rasa macam nak try naik ETS and Ipoh is just about 2 hours plus away via train.

There's double security where our visitors need to present QR code that we generate, and we have to fetch the visitors from the parking. We don't use padlock for our door pun. In fact, there were times that we even forgot to lock the door! Of course we can never be complacent.  4. We save a lot on el...
