The Seven-year Itch & One Quaint Café in Ipoh

March 22, 2015 | 2,831 views

Tittle Tattle Houz

Fluttering butterflies, a rocking pony, stimulating colours and in the spotlight was this Tittle Tattle Houzz Café @ Ipoh

Cliché as this might sound, time really flies. This blog has been around for 7 years now, growing from my first trial with a blog post back in 2008 while I was still on the Blogger platform, to better pictures taken with Lumix LX3 from 2009 to 2011, then surviving with my current Nikon D7000 for a good 4 years now. And sometime in 2009 I migrated to a hosted website (what you are browsing through now), and never looked back since.

I still don’t have amazing/professional photography gears. Or even superb photo-editing software or skills. (p/s: I still use free photo editing software which explains the poor image quality, sorry just too much effort in shooting, eating and writing combined ….)

Soldiering on to my 8th year on the blogosphere, the prospects of writing a blogpost during these times seems farther and farther away from what the social media ‘groupies’ love; fuss-free news feeds with minimal words and more pictures (the Instragram generation would be paralyzed after the first paragraph above).

At this point of time, without an Instragram account (yes, I sure feel outdated and more irrelevant) nor seeing a need to reduce the words in my posts, Motormouth can’t help but felt really old. Which by the way, was not a fear unfounded, since I have surprised quite a many readers upon meeting them in person and appearing a decade or so younger than my online persona’s age.

I sounded like an old gramps sometimes, I was told.

So, before jumping to more rants ahead and a paragraph (non-coma inducing, hopefully) on another café in Ipoh, if this is your first time here, these were some of the milestones you have missed for the past 7 years –

3 March 2008 –  Jack’s Place @ Sunway Pyramid
3 March 2009 – The Hanoi Saga
3 March 2010 – Old Town White Coffee
3 March 2011 – Sun Kam Wan Soy Sauce Chicken Rice
3 March 2012 – Or Tor Kor Market, Bangkok
3 March 2013 – Bricks & Barrels
3 March 2014 – Bits & Bobs @ Ipoh old town
3 March 2015 – The seven-year itch?
