Part 1

Part 2

27th October 2008, we woke up at 7.00 AM. After the bath, we went down the hotel to have the buffet breakfast. About 8.00 AM, We got into the bus and off to Kuala Lumpur again. This time, we were not going to KLCC but we went to another famous shopping complex. We started shopping about 9.15 AM. We also snapped a lot of photos and shopped in the complex until 11.00 PM. At the moment, my cousin and my aunt took a boat ride on the lake beside the shopping complex. The shopping complex is famous with the boat ride. There's a river at the center of the shopping complex for the boat to park. I forgot to tell you all that my aunt and my cousin also joined the trip.

Let me talk about the boat ride when I saw the photos they snapped. The boat started the engine and drove out the shopping complex at 10.15 AM. About 10.20 AM, they reached a big tank that's full of water. The boat reach the tank accurately, the tank detected the boat and plug out the water to make the water in the low level. The boat still float at the tank. The bottom of the tank has a gate to open and let the boat to drive out.

About 10.30 AM, my cousin gave some fish foods to the fish in the pond. 10.40 AM, the boat reached a place which is crocodiles lay their egg. I saw a crocodile egg at the shore of the lake in the photo. About 10.45 AM, the boat drove a U-turn and went back to the shopping complex. Along the way back, there's a lot of animal structures along the pond, they also snapped a lot of photos of the structures.

11.00 AM, the boat reached the tank again, but this time the method is not same. When the gate of the tank open, the water still as same as the level. When the boat reached the tank accurately, again the tank detected the boat and pump in the water to make the boat float up. The boat continued to drive out and reached the shopping complex 11.15 AM. So, I know that the ride takes 1 hour. My aunt and my cousin lated for 15 minutes, they said sorry to us but we forgive them. We went for our lunch.

After lunch, about 12.50 PM, we reached a Science Museum. We also tried some fun and interesting experiments until 2.30 PM. We then off to Ipoh, Perak. The journey took about 3 hours 30 minutes, so we took a nap. 6.00 PM, we reached a restaurant and had our dinner. After the dinner, we went to a famous food souvenirs shop in Ipoh.

When we reached the shop, I thought there was nobody come to visit the shop because the time is 7.30 PM and it was too late but I was fault. There was about 3 buses stopped in front of the shop!!! There's many tourists inside the shop. We also bought many food souvenirs in the shop to share them with our friends and relatives. About 8.15 PM, we got up into the bus and off to Penang, our home. The journey took about 2 hours.

We reached the church about 10.30 PM, my dad fetched us home. this day is the Deepavali Day, so is the holiday, tomorrow I must go to school because I was Standard 5 that year. I'll never forget this fun, interesting and memorable trip forever. This is my biggest trip ever in my whole life.

I continue the trip from the first part, this is the second part.

26th October 2008, we woke up and continued our journey to Malacca. About 8.00 AM, the bus started the engine and the another journey also started. We reached Malacca at about 10.00 AM from Kuala Lumpur. Our first destination is the Malacca Red House or Malacca Christ Church, it was painted in red colour. This building was built since 1735. If counted to 2008, this building is 273 years old, for 2010, is 275 years old!!!

There are many stalls beside the church sold souvenirs, bags, ice-creams, clothes and many more. Next, we went to to St.Paul's Church on the hill, we must go up to pay a visit. The structure of St. Francis Xavier is just in front of the church. After that, we went to the Kota A'Famosa, the building was ruined and now only the gate is still at there. About 11.00 AM, we went to a famous souvenir and fruit industry, Kim Hock Fruit Indurtry Sdn.Bhd. Most of the souvenirs are snacks, and they were made by fruits. We bought a lot of souvenirs for our friends and relatives.

There are many tricycle around here. Malacca and Penang have the most tricycle in the whole Malaysia. It was the lunch time!!! About 12.30 PM, we reached Famosa Chicken Rice Ball Restaurant. We couldn't miss this food as we came to Malacca. The rice balls are soft and must eat it with some light soy sauce. It's taste good and delicious. There are also some dishes,and also delicious.

Now, we went to the famous place in the whole world, A'Famosa!!! Not the Kota A'Famosa, is a place with 3 themes, they are "Animal World Safari", "Cowboy Town" and "Water World". We only went to "Animal World Safari" and "Cowboy Town" because of the problem of the time. About 2.00 PM, we reach A'Famosa, we quickly bought the tickets because the "Wild Wild West Show" was performing that time. Luckily, we catched up the time, the show was performed for a while when we entered the show. It's funny and everyone laughed. Ha!Ha!Ha!

After this show, we entered the "Multi-Animals Show". Along the way, we saw a lot of animals beside the way. The show performed smoothly. The animals which were trained by the trainers for months were performed excellently. Everyone clapped hands to them. There was also happiness and funny acts. Next, we went to the "Bird Show", the birds are performed greatly, they also drew some paintings. One of our members bought the paintings with RM10. The bird flew to her hand with his beak grabbing the painting. Then, the bird pick the money and flew back. What a genius and intelligent bird!!!

The last show is the "Elephant Show", the tricks which were performed by the elephants are very excellent, kick the football, throw the basketball, painting, massage and also take the audience a ride!!! After the show, we went to the safari world, not at night, the time is about 5.30 PM. We hopped into the medium truck. The road is so creepy because it is rough. I thought this is not a safari ride but it just like a roller coaster!!! We saw a lot of animals, a picture I just couldn't forgot is a tiger sleeping on a car. How funny is that!!!

About 6.00 PM, we went to a hotel and took a bath and quickly had our dinner. About 8.00 PM, we went back to A'Famosa, this time we went to the "Cowboy Town". When we reached there, there was a dance performance. We watch the dance performance for a while and entered the "Cowboy Town". At the main entrance, there was a place to snap the photo with a parrot. I was chose and I wore a cowboy hat, a parrot stood on the hat and snapped a photo.

We passed through some souvenir shops and reached to the place where the show perform. There are many performances but I forgot the sequence of it. But at last, there is a firework performance and it was beautiful. I can tell you that this show is great and excellent, I will remember it forever. About 10.30 PM, we took a small nap in the bus because we were going to Kangar, Selangor, a place which is famous with satay, we checked in the room about 11.30 PM. Some of the members went to the Nasi Kandar restaurant to eat the satay. I slept in the hotel and not went to eat the satay because I was tired.

But sorry about that there's a problem when I tried to upload the photos to the blog, I can talk for the whole trip based in my memory. The trip started from 24th October 2008 until 27 October 2008.

24th October 2008, I with my mom joined the trip to Kuala Lumpur and Malacca which was organised by the church's administrators. We started the journey from 11PM and we maybe reached Kuala Lumpur by 7.00 AM. I slept in the bus, for the first time!!! Although it is comfortable, but the air conditional and the cold air of the night trapped surround the bus was too cold and I must covered my body with blanket and towel, how crazy of that!!!

I woke up at about 5.30 AM to go to the toilet. Everyone was woke up and also went to the toilet. I knew, Kuala Lumpur is at here anywhere and we will reach our first destination. The air was too cold and I quickly hopped up into the bus and took a small nap until reaching the destination.

Absolutely, about 7.00 AM, we reach Kuala Lumpur. I also woke up and felt great. The bus stopped at a coffee shop to have our breakfast. I ate wan tan mee, the price is expensive, RM4.00!!! We must payed by ourself. After the breakfast, we went to Thean Hou Temple(天后宫) , a huge temple just like Kek Lok Si in Penang. We snapped a lot of photos, most of them are the fake structure of the 12 Chinese zodiacs. My zodiac is the ox.

Next, we went to Cocoa Boutique, I already talked about this shop at the last few chapters, to see the post, click here. After we visit the Cocoa Boutique, we went to Suria KLCC. A biggest shopping complex in Kuala Lumpur or even the whole Malaysia. We did not go shopping but we went to there for some interesting place, just like the Petrosains Exhibition. We tried a lot of fun and fascinating Science experiments. The technologies of the Science are become wider towards the whole global. The journey inside the exhibition took about 6 hours!!! That's quarter of a day. To save our time, we shortcut our time into 2 hours, we went out the exhibition about 12.30 PM, then we went for lunch. Before lunch, we never forgot to snap some photos in front of the Petronas Twin Towers.

After lunch, we went to a museum in Kuala Lumpur, sorry about that I forgot the name of the museum but I knew the museum displayed a lot of war weapons, tanks and ships. It's must be about the Malaysia soldiers fight for the World War II. We were so tired for the journey, we went to a hotel for a clean bath. We took a nap. About 6.00 PM, we went to a restaurant, specially serving spicy foods. I was ate the foods hardly because the foods are too spicy for me. I hate spicy foods!!!

Well, I start my journey in 27th December until 28th December. Two days, only for mini trip. At night, I not stay in hotels, but I sleep in my grandma's house.

At the first day, I went to my grandma's house to stay. After the lunch and dinner, My aunt and uncle brought me to Tesco supermarket to buy something important. We took a trolley and took 3 bottles of cooking oil and 4 packets of sugar crackers. When we went to the place which was full of bottled cooking oil, I saw a paper wrote "2 bottles per family" pasted on the rack, but my aunt and uncle didn't see it and took 3 bottles of oil. When we reached the counter, the cashier said that 1 bottle of oil must side-paying because the paper which pasted on the rack I saw already reminded.

Luckily, my aunt saw a uncle behind us bought a bottle of oil, so she accompanied with him to the oil into 2 bottles. The uncle was so kind and he agreed to do that. After paying, we went to the car park to get my uncle's car. We went to Jalan Perak to buy supper. We reached a famous pau stall. We bought 5 big pau and 4 char-siew pau.

We reached home by 10.15 PM, I had my supper, brushed my teeth, change my pyjamas and slept in my grandma's room.

The second day, I woke up at 10.00 AM. Oh dear! It's must be no water today. But when I open the tap, water flowed down. I knew that Ayer Itam zone was not effected by the water-making. After the bath, I ate yam cake, cucur badak, and also drank a cup of Milo. I played the wooden piling until 12.30 PM. At the moment, my cousin was washing his pet named Koko.

The HiStOrY OF Christmas Day

#12
25th December

Today, I want to share the history of Christmas Day.

The story of Christmas dates back over 4000 years. During this era, Rome was a great empire ruled by Caesar Augustus and Israel was governed by King Herod.

The Story of Mary and Joseph
In the small village of Galilee in Nazareth, Israel, lived Mary a young virgin who was engaged to be married to Joesph, a Jewish carpenter. An angel visited Mary in her dream who told her she had been chosen to bear a Son of God and his name was to be Jesus. And thus, it happened that when Mary was still engaged to Joseph, she miraculously became pregnant through the Holy Spirit. When Mary told Joesph, naturally he felt betrayed, but an angel visited him in his dream and verified what Mary had told him to be true. He thus took Mary to be his wife despite a possible public disgrace.

Mary and Joseph leave Nazareth for Bethlehem
At that time, Caesar Augustus declared that a census should be taken of every person in the entire Roman empire. And, everybody had to go to the place to which they belonged to register. As Joseph, was of the line of David, he and Mary had to go to Bethlehem to register. Joseph and Mary left Nazareth for Bethlehem. Mary who was with child, and close to the birth, rode on a donkey while Joseph walked beside her. They traveled for many days and only rested at night.When they reached Bethlehem it was night. They looked for a place to rest but there were no empty rooms when they reached the inn. As they were being turned away Joseph mentioned that his wife was with child and close to birth. The inn keeper took pity on them and told them of some caves in the nearby hills where shepherds would stay with their cows and sheep.

Jesus is Born
So Joseph and Mary went up into the hills and found the caves. In one cave was a stable room. Joseph cleaned it and made beds of fresh hay. He found a feeding trough which he cleaned and filled with hay to use as a crib. The next night Mary gave birth to a son and they named him Jesus, as the angel had said.

The Shepherds
When the child was born a shining star appeared over Bethlehem that could be seen for miles around. In the fields nearby were shepherds who were tending their flocks of sheep. An angel appeared to them surrounded by bright light. The shepherds were frightened and tried to run.

"Fear Not," said the angel, "For I bring you tidings of great joy. For unto you is born this day in Bethlehem - a Saviour who is Christ the Lord."

"And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger."

Suddenly the sky was filled with angels, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men."

After the angels departed the shepherds set out for Bethlehem. When they reached the cave they found the stable and inside was the child wrapped in swaddling clothes. The shepherds left, praising the lord and soon spread the news about this miraculous child who was to be the Savior of the world.

The Three Kings
As the star shined over Bethlehem, three kings of the east saw it. They knew it was a sign and they set off to follow the star. There was Caspar - the young king of Tarsus, Melchior – the king of Arabia who was a long bearded old man, and Balthazar - the king from Ethiopia. They traveled on camels for many days over mountains, through deserts and plains always following the shining star.

When they finally arrived in Bethlehem they found the child in the manger. The three kings bowed to the child and offered gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. They stayed the night in the cave and returned the next day to their lands to spread the news.

After you read the article, I want to wish you "God Bless You" and "Happy New Year".

The HiStOrY OF Santa Claus

#11
25th December

Merry Christmas!!! Do you know the history of this day?? Well, I will talk that history at the next chapter. Today, I want to share the history of Santa Claus. This is the article that I copied from the Internet.

The American version of the Santa Claus figure received its inspiration and its name from the Dutch legend of Sinter Klaas, brought by settlers to New York in the 17th century.

As early as 1773 the name appeared in the American press as "St. A Claus," but it was the popular author Washington Irving who gave Americans their first detailed information about the Dutch version of Saint Nicholas. In his History of New York, published in 1809 under the pseudonym Diedrich Knickerbocker, Irving described the arrival of the saint on horseback (unaccompanied by Black Peter) each Eve of Saint Nicholas.

This Dutch-American Saint Nick achieved his fully Americanized form in 1823 in the poem A Visit From Saint Nicholas more commonly known as The Night Before Christmas by writer Clement Clarke Moore. Moore included such details as the names of the reindeer; Santa Claus's laughs, winks, and nods; and the method by which Saint Nicholas, referred to as an elf, returns up the chimney. (Moore's phrase "lays his finger aside of his nose" was drawn directly from Irving's 1809 description.)

The American image of Santa Claus was further elaborated by illustrator Thomas Nast, who depicted a rotund Santa for Christmas issues of Harper's magazine from the 1860s to the 1880s. Nast added such details as Santa's workshop at the North Pole and Santa's list of the good and bad children of the world. A human-sized version of Santa Claus, rather than the elf of Moore's poem, was depicted in a series of illustrations for Coca-Cola advertisements introduced in 1931 that introduced and made the red Santa Suits an icon. In modern versions of the Santa Claus legend, only his toy-shop workers are elves. Rudolph, the ninth reindeer, with a red and shiny nose, was invented in 1939 by an advertising writer for the Montgomery Ward Company.

In looking for the historical roots of Santa Claus, one must go very deep in the past. One discovers that Santa Claus as we know him is a combination of many different legends and mythical creatures.

The basis for the Christian-era Santa Claus is Bishop Nicholas of Smyrna (Izmir), in what is now Turkey. Nicholas lived in the 4th century A.D. He was very rich, generous, and loving toward children. Often he gave joy to poor children by throwing gifts in through their windows.

The Orthodox Church later raised St. Nicholas, miracle worker, to a position of great esteem. It was in his honor that Russia's oldest church, for example, was built. For its part, the Roman Catholic Church honored Nicholas as one who helped children and the poor. St. Nicholas became the patron saint of children and seafarers. His name day is December 6th.

In the Protestant areas of central and northern Germany, St. Nicholas later became known as der Weinachtsmann. In England he came to be called Father Christmas. St. Nicholas made his way to the United States with Dutch immigrants, and began to be referred to as Santa Claus.

In North American poetry and illustrations, Santa Claus, in his white beard, red jacket and pompom-topped cap, would sally forth on the night before Christmas in his sleigh, pulled by eight reindeer, and climb down chimneys to leave his gifts in stockings children set out on the fireplace's mantelpiece.

Children naturally wanted to know where Santa Claus actually came from. Where did he live when he wasn't delivering presents? Those questions gave rise to the legend that Santa Claus lived at the North Pole, where his Christmas-gift workshop was also located.

In 1925, since grazing reindeer would not be possible at the North Pole, newspapers revealed that Santa Claus in fact lived in Finnish Lapland. "Uncle Markus", Markus Rautio, who compared the popular "Children's hour" on Finnish public radio, revealed the great secret for the first time in 1927: Santa Claus lives on Lapland's Korvatunturi - "Ear Fell"

The fell, which is situated directly on Finland's eastern frontier, somewhat resembles a hare's ears - which are in fact Santa Claus's ears, with which he listens to hear if the world's children are being nice. Santa has the assistance of a busy group of elves, who have quite their own history in Scandinanvian legend.

Over the centuries, customs from different parts of the Northern Hemisphere thus came together and created the whole world's Santa Claus - the ageless, timeless, deathless white-bearded and red suited man who gives out gifts on Christmas and always returns to Korvatunturi in Finnish Lapland.

Since the 1950s, Santa has happily sojourned at Napapiiri, near Rovaniemi, at times other than Christmas, to meet children and the young at heart. By 1985 his visits to Napapiiri had become so regular that he established his own Santa Claus Office there. He comes there every day of the year to hear what children want for Christmas and to talk with children who have arrived from around the world. Santa Claus Village is also the location of Santa's main Post Office, which receives children's letters from the four corners of the world.

Now, do you know the history of the Santa Claus already?? Next chapter I will talk about the history of the Christmas Day.
Merry Christmas!!! God Bless You!!!

ChRiStMaS Night EvE TONIGHT!!!!!!!

#10
24th December

Do you know what is the day tonight?? Is the Christmas Eve!!! Are you readying for countdown?? Or just stay at home and hearing some Christmas song?? Or now you are in the church??

Oh! Just forget about it. Talk about the dinner. I think there many, many families around the whole world are having their grilled turkey now. "Scrumptious! Delicious!" they say. Well, not ever all the families have a chance to eat the grilled turkey because maybe a few families in Malaysia buy the turkey by importing the turkey from other nations. Most of the nations at the Western zone rear the turkey more than the Eastern zone.

Do you light up the Christmas tree?? Or now having desserts?? Just like the Christmas log, a log-shaped cake full with chocolate flavour. You can design your creative art on the cake and eat it at home, during the Christmas Eve. Although it looks like a real log, but it is not a hard log, but is a soft log that you can digest it down to your stomach. Ha!Ha!Ha!

How about the Christmas songs?? My blog has a special edition MP3 at bar side. That's just put during the Christmas day. There 3 songs, two of the songs are famous and classic, one of the songs is sang by Mariah Carey, the song name is "Oh! Santa!". A new Christmas song and now this song can be listened in everywhere.

Talk about the countdown! The time is 9.00PM, still have 3 hours, are you ready?? I think the huge, tall Christmas tree will light up in the Western zone and also the Eastern zone. The Christmas tree light up and full of cheering and laughing. Not just that, sometimes the fireworks will spread out and attract us. The colourful fireworks made a memorable Christmas day that'snot even being.

Send some blessings to your friends, relatives and your family. You can bless them "Merry Christmas!", that's simple enough. Well, I will stop now. I want to watch a lot of Christmas shows and concerts. At last, I want to wish everyone, Merry Christmas!!! And also check your hanged socks, maybe there's a present inside. Santa Claus given you. Ha1Ha!Ha!

Next chapter I will talk about the history of the Santa Claus.

Merry Christmas!!! Ho!Ho!Ho!!!

THE tang yuen fEsTiVaL & The GiNgEr TALE

#9
22th December

Today is the tang yuen festival, had you eat the tang yuen already?? The tang yuen soup has a little bit spicy taste because the soup is cooked by using ginger. Some of the people put in brown sugar into the soup to make it taste better.

Besides the soup, the balls are colourful. Red, yellow, green, blue, white, purple, orange and many more. The red and white balls are command used to cook the tang yuen. Some people like the taste of the spicy ginger, they put in old gingers to make the soup more spicy. Ginger is a plant that comes from southeast Asia, and is now also cultivated in Jamaica and other tropical areas. Now, let's us see the benefits of ginger.

There is a wide range of benefits of ginger such as nausea, digestive problems, circulation and arthritis. Nausea caused during pregnancy or by travelling is one of the benefits of ginger root. Ginger is also known to have the ability to calm an upset stomach and to promote the flow of bile. Stomach cramps can be eased and circulation can also be improved. Ginger supports a healthy cardiovascular system by making platelets less sticky which is turn reduces circulatory problems.

Ginger oil also has the benefits. Ginger oil used for massage can help relieve painful arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger is often included in many herbal decongestants and can help to minimize the symptoms of respiratory conditions, cold and allergies.

With all the benefits of ginger and continuing research, the ginger root is fast becoming a very popular medicinal herb.

So, do you want another cup of tang yuen? Go for it!!! And I want to say: "Happy Tang Yuen Festival". Ha!Ha!Ha!

Let's us pull back to our main point, the tang yuen festival. This day not just a day to eat the tang yuen, but is also a day for gathering of the whole family. the word "tang yuen", it can be pronounced by the Chinese lucky word "tuan yuan", it mens gathering. So, this day is a meaningful day for the whole family.

Although we are busy nowadays, we cannot forget about our relatives and family. Not just gathering during the Chinese New Year only, yet can be gathering in everyday, every week or even every month.

So, we mustn't waste our time in our life, visit your friends or relatives, so that we can have more chances to see them.

Next chapter I will talk about the Christmas Night Eve on 24th December.

SpOrTs, Friends sPoRtS IN My Life

#8
20th December

Sport is activity that's helps us to keep healthy. I also like sport, but honestly, I doing this activity is less. But my friends done this activity perfectly, like badminton, volleyball, basketball, football and many more. Form 1, my secondary school will hold a "Class Balls Competition" every 6 months. Luckily, most of my friends are good in sports, that's why we will win the competition. Without them, my class will lose.

During the P.E. class, sports are involved in this class. I like to play the football, badminton and basketball but my skills are bad than others. I try but I can't learn anything from my friends. Well, I better don't participate the competition, afraid that I make my class lose, and make other classes' students jeer at us. That's is so embarrassed if me lose to a weak team although we are the strong team.

Everyday, you can see many youngster are busying in their business and academic. Take a time to do some sports, that's will be maintain us always healthy and strong. Play more badminton, basketball or what you like to make sure that we are live in a healthy and comfortable life.

Actually, sport are also a healthy game. You can do it at indoor or outdoor. Don't waste your time when you are free, play the sports would be fun. My friends?? They are also active, They give their hand phones' numbers to each other. When they have time, they can call to each other to have a sport game whatever in court, garden or somewhere else.

Yes, my friends are really best in sports. I hope I will become like them. I also hope them will become a best athlete one day. Then, I think they will win a lot of medals in the competitions they participate. This would be great for our country!!!

OK, time to stop. Next chapter I will talk about the tang yuen festival and the ginger tale.

MALAYSIA Food, My Beautiful LIFE!!!

#7
19th December

"Eat" this word, cannot leave from our mouth because we have 3 or 5 meals for a day. Breakfast, morning tea, lunch, tea time, dinner and supper. For normal people, we just eat 3 meals. But for a good-eating people, they eat 4 or 5 meals. I like Malaysia food the most. Chinese, Malay and Indian, their foods are traditional and are very attractive to Malaysia foods lover, just like me.

Let us start from Chinese, most of us are Chinese. Because we are Chinese, we eat the most Chinese foods in our life. Cookies and kuih and not out of the Chinese food's lists. During the Chinese New Year, the whole family will made a lot of cookies, cakes, kuih, biscuits and many more. How busy for that day!!! At the age like me, It's time to learn some skill to make the cookies. Baking, mixing, texturing and decorating, these are the steps to make a cookie, cake or any can-baking food.

Moreover, Dim Sum is also one of the traditional Chinese food. Every year of Chinese New Year, every Sundays or during the holidays, some of us will go to the cafe at the morning to have a breakfast. Most of us will eat Dim Sum. This is because we can eat a lot of traditional snack which are cooked by steaming and frying in small saucers. When we are eat the Dim Sum, we will drink a traditional cup which is filled with hot tea. There are many kind of tea, I like the chrysanthemum (Sunflower) tea the most, the tea has a little bit of sweetness. Green tea would be a little bit tasteless. But, I like all the smell of teas because the smell is refreshing.

Now, talk about the Malay foods. The most unique Malay traditional food is Nasi Lemak. The curry is spicy but the ingredient of this food is awesome. Egg, ikan bilis, a small fish, some slices of cucumbers and some nuts. That's a perfect food!!! Kuih bahulu is a soft cake that are baked in a shape container. The main ingredients are sugar, eggs and flour. That's is easy to do it. I hope a have a chance to make some for my family.

The last is Indian, their first-rate traditional food is Roti Canai, a thin piece of flour cake. The stall-keeper will turn the Roti Canai on a oiled board. Keep turning to make it flat and thin. Too bad when it is turning too slow, there will be many holes on the Roti Canai. After the Roti Canai is flat and thin, it will be fried on a pan until it become golden-brown. Eat the food with dipping it into a bowl of curry, that's the simple way to eat this food.

For our whole life, we are not at overseas, we are at Malaysia, a unique country with 3 races, is now become a must-to-traveling place. Here, you can find peace and the love of the Malaysia in the whole of the world. You must happy at here and make our country proud to the international stage. That's why we are "Satu Malaysia"!!!

Next chapter I will talk about sports in my life and my friends' sports.

The MUSIC Of My LiFe

#6
19th December

Do everyone like music? Well, I think so. Everyday, you could hear songs from the radio, television programs, music discs, or either from the computer. Turn on your speaker, don't make it too loud, just in stereo-controlling option. And then, enjoy the songs you like. As hear to the songs, make a tea or coffee, a wedge of cake and a few pieces of fruit for your tea time. That would be enough for the wonderful, comfortable and relaxing tea time.

So, what is music?? It's a entertainment, a enjoyable media, or a beautiful part of our life?? Well, these are the answer. Music, is also a key to "open" our memories. For example, a song which you sing with your friends can be sing again as you meet with your friends. When you and your friends haven't meet for many times, you will miss them and start to sing the song that you sing with your friends since you meet with them. Thia can be happen in everywhere at the childhood time.

Listen to the songs you like at home, street, school, car's radio and others. Life never lose out with music. This music is the most beautiful part in our life. Listen more to the soft music such as Mozart songs without words, that's a wonderful songs and the nice echoes will make our ears comfortable. Don't listen to the "Rock" echoes, that song would be make us very crazy and fire-burned.

When you are free, write a song, make the song's echoes (If you can try to do that) , sing by yourself, share it to your friend to enjoy your song. Maybe they will sing with you, or they will want your autograph...Ha!Ha!Ha! So, try to improve yourself in your best skill. Some of my friends like to singing, they participated in many competitions. They got many trophies and medals. They are excellent and I was pleased them for their best performance.

Whatever I said for today, you must try your best in any kind of skill and open your mind for that skill. Your skill will give you a bright road, and you must go for it. Despite there are many challenges along the way, knock down the walls, keep going until you reach the end of destination.

Next chapter I will talk about Malaysia food that we ate for our whole life.

My FUN Christmas Party (PART 2)

#4
18th December

At the first part of the party I stopped at the "Balloon Kicking & Popping" game. At last, my team lose. Oh well, better luck in the next game. The second game called "Memory Test". The computer will send out 20 Christmas items in the slideshow. The more the team writes the items, that team wins. Oh dear, 20 items!!! How to remember it all?? Well, the team leader said we looked at each sides. Otherwise, that would be hard to write all the items. After this, the host said the result would be said out after the game time.

The last game called "Santa Claus", we thought that this game is very easy for us. Unfortunately, the host said one of the team members must come out to wear a big shirt and a big trouser. Then, you know what the host said?? the host said we must put balloons into the shirt and trouser, the balloons must be in medium size and not in small size. The more the balloons put into the shirt and trouser, that team win. What a crazy game I haven't play for my whole life!!! Whatever, a medium size girl of our team wear the clothes and we put as much balloons as we can. Suddenly, she became very fatty. We got 13 balloons but the first team got 15 balloons!!!! We still lose. After the final game, the host said that the first team won. Oh well, it just a game, but it was fun.

After the game time, the highlights of the party are the dance performance and drama. The "Joyful Girl" dance on the stage with a song of Christians. Next would be the drama. The drama is about a young man named Albert likes going to pub with his friend. One day, his friend invite him to church. His friend told him about that we will get love and peace at the church. This advice made Albert a new change. After he go to the church, he never go to the pub again with his friend, but he invite his friend go to the church. That's the synopsis for the whole drama.

Next would be the story telling time, the host said the story about the Christmas Day, this day is the born of the Lord Jesus. We enjoyed to hear the story. After the story telling, the host gave us an announcement. At 25 December, the church will hold a Christmas Night and 26 December will hold a dinner. I can't go to there because I am busy that day.

We have a snack after the party. We ate sausages and cakes. We also got a sausage bun, a carbonated drinks and a packet of chocolate bars and packed crackers. After the snack, my auntie fetched me home.

My FUN Christmas Party (PART 1)

#3
18th December

Huh!! That's fun in the party. We sing songs, play games, hear stories, watch drama and dance performance, and also have a snack at the church. After at all, the whole party is indeed fun and full with happiness.

At first, we had a short pray, but I didn't do that because I'm not a Christian. After the pray, we sang songs. Before singing, we had played a game called "Seven-Up". It's easy to play! First, everyone make a big round shape by hand holding hand. Next, the host will touch someone's shoulder from behind. That people must say "One" and the people on his/her right must say "Two". As that method, it's consecutive as the people say "One" until "Six" to the right side. Until the seventh people say the number, he/she must say "Seven-Up" by holding up hand and point to anyway he/she likes such as left or right side. As he/she point to left side, the people who at his/her left side must say again "One" until the people who say "Seven-Up". The people who said "Seven-Up" must again point to left or right side and the game continues until 3 people are out because of doing fault when they said wrong "Seven" without the "Up". that 3 people who are out must to say "Merry Christmas" to each other. How fun was that!!!

After the game, we sang a few of songs. After sang songs, playing time is arrived. Everyone were excited. First, the host play the first game, called "Balloon Kicking & Popping". What?? Pop the balloon, I hate that loud sound, ever!!! Oh well, I brought a pack of tissues, I grabbed a piece of tissue, separated it into 2 pieces, and put into my ears. Yes, that would be lower the loud sound of the popped balloon in my ears. I didn't knew how to blow the balloon. I get somebody to help me. Then, we must to kick the balloon until to the stage and pop it. There are two group for the game. I'm in the second group. Who will win?? I will say that at the next part.

Bye!!!

My Friends IN My Life

#2
18th December

Good morning everyone!!! Are you still sleepy?? Get up now, surf my blog now. Now, I want to tell my friends' life from primary school until secondary school.

Standard 1, I'm was studied in SJK(C) Shang Wu. That's gave a lot of sweet and happy memory in my life. Although it was 6 years ago, I still can remember their faces at all. Standard 2, some new friends that I had to meet are many. Despite my other friends go to other class, I was so happy because the new friends are excellent in the academic results. Now, I can't see my old friends' faces but I raced with my friends in the academic with my new friends.

Standard 3, still more 4 years I will be Standard 6. That's time is year 2006, my friends are still with me, keep raced in the academic until Standard 6. How exhausted I pay a lot of attention in my studies. Well, I never idled my hard work these 6 years because I got 7 'A's in UPSR. How exciting that the school's headmaster read loud my name first, and everyone looked at me when I stepped out. All the happiness and the luckiness fell on me.

But I still cannot forget my friends until now. They are too friendly with me. I think that's time is the most memorable time in my life. About the secondary school, I must keep going up in my academic section.

Now, I'm Form 1 and next year I will be Form 2. Talk about Form 1, absolutely, more new friends that I need to meet. Although my old friends are studying in the secondary school as same as me, but we were separated into different classes, that's will be very hard to meet next time.

My secondary school's new friends are from different primary schools, they all also excellent in the academic section but some of them are not. They keep playing, laughing, joking or any bad features had made me a shock. They also talk rubbish things, sexuality things and also the movie actions and made the class as "dirty" as unpredictable in my life. Hopefully, I also meet new good friends, thank goodness!!!

Well, about the academic section, I can make sure that I can do my best in the all exams. But I did it badly in the exams. OK, I try one more time. Again and again, YES!!! I made it, I study in the "A" class.

After a while, I have a Christmas Party in the church, not mean I'm a Christian, my auntie and her family are Christians. They invited me to the party. So, I better go now, she said she will fetch to the church after a while. I afraid that she will arrive now, I better stop at here. Next chapter I will tell you all about the Christmas Party in the church for the whole afternoon.

Bye!!!

Holidays AND the ChRiStMaS!!!

#1
17th December

At here, I should said that we were busying during the holidays. Otherwise, I already passed the final examination for my Form 1 studies..... HOORAY!!!!!

But at least, I was very happy because i will be in A class. Want me to forget about my friends??That would be impossible, I still can see their faces in my dream, that's give a unforgettable memory in my life. Because of my friends, my life is coloured and not ever darken. So, try to be happy so that our life is fulled with happiness.

Holidays, I'm still enjoying it. Despite the time is going too quick like a train, but I also hope that the time will going slow like a tortoise. Either the time or me is wasting the time, I also don't know, but who can tell me the answer, I must ask myself.

"We Wish You A Merry Christmas... We Wish You A Merry Christmas... We Wish You A Merry Christmas... And A Happy New Year..." Indeed, the Christmas is around the corner, because I can hear the well-known Christmas song are display in everywhere. I like the "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" most because it is the most famous Christmas song around the global and also simple to sing it. Hope that

I can change the echoes of the song into any kind of modern music echoes, best try is to change the song into the "Rock" echoes, that will make somebody a little bit crazy.... Ha!Ha!Ha!

Like children, love to receive presents during the Christmas Day. I'm so awful because my uncle always give me present every year at the Christmas Day. I wonder what will he give the present to me this year (Don't ever think about the expensive thing).

Decorations, is everywhere, during the Christmas. How about the Christmas Tree?? That will be more suitable for the Christmas Day. Find a pine tree (But only Siberia has the most), cut it off, but don't ever too big for your small house, choose the short one, that would be fit into your house. Some shiny, colourful orb (Or any colour steel balls), and other decorations you want (Don't ever think about rubbish

things) and also the bright, shiny and gold-embedded star. Put the star on to the top on the Christmas Tree. Suddenly, everyone look at the star, that is very attractive.

Oh Dear!!! It's so late now, I better stop at here. Next chapter will talk about the life of my friends.

Bye!!
