My Life...: Christmas Gathering

#358
29th December

Like I promised, I would write the post about the Christmas gathering with my AAY friends during the Christmas Eve.

Describing? Well, I think I reached one of my life's goals: Keep awake for 24 hours.

That's totally crazy, how could a person don't sleep for 1 day, that's like hyperactive, insomnia or what.

But truly, this is what we had done for this.

Not much of photos I took, but since it took only about 20 hours for this gathering, so I think it wouldn't be a problem to write the whole timeline lah.

24/12/2014 (Wednesday)

Thanks God it's a fine sunny day as it had been raining for a few days dy.

Well, we had a group chat for this gathering, and somehow things keep changing such as the time and venue.

Obviously time is not a problem but venue got a slightly changed.

Recently it said to be at Flamingo Hotel but just a few minutes before I went to that hotel, suddenly the venue changed to Rainbow Paradise Hotel. Fortunately it's just beside Flamingo Hotel.

The next thing is the ppl who attended this gathering.

Rmb that there are total of 17 ppl went for Kampar Trip, now this time only 13 ppl including 2 teachers, the other 11 students including me, Allan, Zheng Xuan, Zheng Er, Tan Ping, Wui Soon, Hean Zhou, Chang Yung, Samuel, Yi Yun and Melissa.

First of all, this gathering was hold by Yi Yun, of cuz' it would be stand for 2 days until Christmas, the venue you already know and the time is nearly evening.

Planned to have BBQ but scared of raining so changed to steamboat.

So very thank you to the 2 girls and 2 teachers who in charge for bringing the pots, the foods, the utensils and help us all book the room like that.

Anyway, I'm the first who reached the hotel, cuz' I really excited about this gathering :D

Reached there dy thought I could meet someone in the lobby, but I met the teachers bringing up things so I knew where is the hotel room without calling them, how lucky was that.

Soon, I met Melissa, Allan and Yi Yun.

Since there's still much time so I took some pictures around the hotel.

Oh btw we all 11 ppl fit in just one room, seriously.

Well from the above 5 pictures it is clearly shown that this room is quite large, got balcony and a small kitchen too.

And also the view of the balcony also wide enough, towards the sea and towards the street too.

I think this room might not be cheap but since we all got 13 ppl so the budget wasn't too expensive, yet it is still enough for us to sleep.

Btw this is already 超标 dy haha XP

After waited for some times, Tan Ping, Zheng Xuan and Zheng Er reached the room.
Still there are left 4 ppl haven't come yet, so we 7 ppl + our teachers start taking photos.
Well the results...

Haha this type of photos were published right after taking the photos, btw the film rolls are really expensive, but thanks anyway. =)

Then, me, Tan Ping, Zheng Xuan and Zheng Er went down to the beach sea sightseeing.
Still, there are much ppl there swimming, parachuting, playing water sports and games...
Well I dressed in a former way (Collar shirt, jeans and sport shoes) there's no way I could step into the water.

Except for Tan Ping playing in the water, me, Zheng Xuan and Zheng Er sit down and chit chat.

After a while, around 6.15 pm like that, everyone had reached the hotel and we took tons of photos and selfies by the beach.
Well those photos didn't showed up on Facebook so I can't post them out here.
But I would keep them in my memory. :)

Next it's the time for steamboat dinner!
Went up again and prepared for it!

大家都很忙哦！（看起来很不忙） :P

Enjoying haha! XD

Ya right after we enjoying the nice steamboat dinner, then we went down to the beach for the night games.

Hehe it's the first time for me to watch the night sea, feeling that the waves are even stronger during night, dunno why.

There are also other groups of ppl who also done the same things like us, plus some of them also having BBQ! Sad nia we all though it would be raining then... However it's because of not raining then we have the time to play games by the beach.

So the gaming part don't need to describe anymore, it must be fun, laughs and jokes.

I think this is my first time for me to do such thing, moreover with friends from different schools.

Then around 10.30 pm we went back up to the room for supper (steamboat again), picking up our own presents for exchanging.

Again went down to the beach to exchange our presents (of cuz' this needs a game).

It's nearly 12 am and we start countdown before 30 seconds to Christmas.

Eh actually there's no way we could count the time accurately becuz' different ppl have different speeds of watches.

So we don't bother about that and we keep countdown-ing until......

25/12/2014 (Thursday)

......MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Haha btw we can't actually see anyone putting fireworks but we knew that there should be other places doing it.

After that we got back to our room.

Oh then you think it's the time for sleeping? NO! Someone suggested go to Starbucks...

See!? Starbucks!!! Someone planned not to sleep for the whole night using caffeine to stand whole night.

WTH OMG this could be real. Initially I resisted to follow them but then I think back, maybe this is the chance for me to see how was the night life rite? So then I still follow them haha XD

Oh btw left teacher sleeping in the room.

11 ppl fit 2 kancils (drivers are Wui Soon and Hean Zhou), well this is going to be crazy.

Midnight streets are even emptier so I'm not sure this considered dangerous or not la.

Roaming through midnight streets maybe is the first time for everyone.

Well, 青春就是要疯狂地过才会有价值.

See, we had been went for much adventure while we were in Kampar, hiking steep rocks in Gua Tempurung and white water rafting, and now we done crazy thing again haha XP

So we reached Starbucks around 1 am.

By that time I should not taking any caffeine drinks, so I cross out coffees in my list.

I also cross out chocolates in my list becuz' of its 热量.

So I rather choose passion lemon tea la.

Then we found a table and start chit chat again.

Talk anything we want until we didn't realize that it's getting late, around 2 am like that, we left the place and back to hotel.

Manatau when we reached the hotel the parking is full and we have to park the cars outside.
Damn it!
It's gonna to be 3 am and still much ppl dun wan to sleep, keep playing games and chit chat, probably caffeine works.
But I totally beh tahan liao so fall in sleep but dunno why can't sleep T.T
Until nearly 4 am liao baru sleep.

Actually we have the plan to watch sunrise.
So I just slept for just like 1 and a half hours like that only (ppl wake up me :P)
5.45 am went out again to find a place to watch the sunrise.
We actually asked our teacher want to see or not but he just suggest which place and then fall in sleep again.
10 ppl went to that place except Tan Ping kept sleeping.

It's the time of before dawn, still not much cars on the streets yet, so we roamed through this street that street and finally we reached Tanjung Tokong 大伯公庙.
I'm not sure whether this is the place or not but follow them 就对了, moreover I also know about this place from a book, but I just can't find it where it is, now I found it, too hidden from the main road.

Actually there's also dunno what kind of heaps of rocks, dunno was naturally formed or man-made, we climbed the rocks and went to the edge of the rocks, waiting for the sunrise.
But dunno why this place looks so familiar, looks as same as the scene from a MV 《烙印》, PCGHS graduation song 2014.
Then I looked back the MV and found that this is the exact place! WTH it's hidden there we "accidentally" found it haha XD
Okay we all crazy kia sit down and waited for about 2 hours until we finally meet the first sunlight of Christmas.
