Missing Mountains

In these hazy days, everything at far is hiding behind the grey air. High rise buildings at farther, like the Kinta Riverfront Hotel, looked a little blur, while the Kledang Range is completely missing from sight. Although I do not yet to have any difficulty in breathing but it just make me feel very uncomfortable by seeing such a bad condition of the atmosphere.

Hi,

Bom Dia & warmest greetings from Nando’s Malaysia!

As you might have already known, we have recently spread our wings to Aeon Station 18 in Ipoh. Since we’re still relatively new in town, we did a bit of Google-ing and came across quite a number of interesting people whom we’d love to meet!

This may sound sudden but we would like to meet the man behind ‘Images of Ipoh’, you. Please allow us to buy you brunch and to make it less awkward, we will be inviting other bloggers as well. Just a simple brunch of 10pax.

Can't seem to find your contact details, appreciate if you could write to us at peri-per
i@nandos.com.my, we will share more info about the meet up with you!

Hope to hear from you soon, Chun Kee!

Peri Regards,
Marketing Department
