Holiday Happenings

Hey ppl,

Time flies. It's like almost a month into the holidays and I've been playing the computer a lot lately...yea I should I should get out more -_-

Most people watch tv or play online games after the exams but I've been playing Pokemon games after the exams into the beginning of the holidays :S Ok so like it's not really for children ok, some teenagers still play it too XD. I've finished Pokemon Crystal, Fire Red (thought the game totally restarts after beating the Elite 4 so I can't play it to the end), and also Emerald. Getting bored of it though, 'cause there's not much to do after the game finishes. -_-

Anyway, a lot has been happening lately. I know some people sit around at home all day eating watching tv or getting fat (some XD) but I've been kinda busy lately with all sorts of things. Lol not sure if it's really called busy. Anyway yesterday was hectic. In the morning I had to wake up real early to go to a church fellowship meeting, and it's very important, I suppose. And it was soooooo long, it ended at around 11am. We were mainly discussing with the pastors and other advisors about plans for next year, etcetctetc.

For me, the head of the Evangelist Group (yeah be jealous....XD juz jk~), I just have lead people to being more teenagers to the Fellowship, or hand out presents to new people who come to the Fellowship. There are other things too, but I'm too lazy to say them all~~

Then in the afternoon was the youth fellowship, and at night was the Bible Knowledge Competition I was talking about earlier. Haha guess who won XD or rather, guess who lost?? XD

Well, the results were this: (lazy to type English, those who can't read go to Chinese tuition..XD, or see my previous post)

妇女会: 105
成团: 94
青团:100
少团:81

Yeah you guessed it, hehe we lost. But it was fun and cool too. Even though we lost, but at least we had fun and learned stuff. Yeah it was a cool experience. XD Man I got the order of the 12 books wrong, so it was like minus 6 marks, -_-. I think i should've studied more, o well.

My friend who's coming from England is gonna arrive in Miri in December 10 something, I forgot. I'm supposed to show him around Miri, and I kenw him since Kindergarten, and when I moved to Beijing, he did too, and we were even in the same school. Yeah, *memories* XD Then he moved to Shanghai so we didn't really get to meet a lot so now I'm gonna take him out when he's here~...Btw, he's a Malaysian Chinese, not a British, he just went there to study~~

Hmmmmmmm...what else is happening....hope I don't run out of things to sayXD. Btw next Wed, I'm going out with friends to the mall again, and it's for boys only, haha. But I heard Eugene invited a girl. I mean what is it with him? But I don't think she'll be coming. He invites people he's not even really good with?? Lol anyway, it's mostly 4E2 ppl, since a lot of boys in 4E1 can't go, or are out of town. Wait a sec...omg I just realised. I'm the only 4E1 person to go~ haha as if that's a really shocking thing..

And the Chinese club has a new website?? I mean, the president, which I'm sure you all know who ;) someone in 4E2, created the site. I mean, nobody even goes to the blog really, and now another website??? XD Lol, you should see the Chinese Club blog chatbox, most of the messages there are negative. XD Some are postive though~

Then today, Sunday, went to church. I was in the choir~~though, at the last part there were some minor mistakes 'cause it was cut short XD but it was ok~

*sigh* Our church pastor is leaving our church next year. Gonna miss her~~ XD Next year, a new preacher will be taking over, while our present pastor will be tranferred to Mei Ann Methodist Church. Btw, out new church is almost complete! It's any day now that we'll be moving in, and it is soooo exciting. New this new that new everything. It's gonna be soooooooooooo cool. Haha.

O yeah, and during this ~festive~ season, we're gonna be SO busy with all the Chrsitmas events and stuff. First, there's a Chrsitmas event in E-mart, then there's the Chrsitmas Day Celebration, the New Church celebration, etcetcetc oooooo and also the parade around Miri on December 6th. :D It starts in City Fan. It's organise by MCC, I think and it includes all the Christian Churches in Miri. It's gonna be big. No joke. XD And hopefully like last year, it'll be tons of fun. We get to walk on the roads in Miri, and sing songs and stuff. Well dunno wabout this year, but the last year Methodsit Churches' Parade was like that.

Here are some photos of the new church I've been talking about :)


The present shophouse church which we are using. The entrance is on the other end, this one is never open 'cause it's the stage's back XD


Land for building Church: Before


Opening ceremony for building church....dunno how to really say it in English XD On the very right is my church's pastor~


And...after!! It looks big, doesn't it? Next time you go to Lutong, come visit us!!~

There are actually more pictures that my parents but I dunno where they are or they're not uploaded yet. Oh well, I'll get them if I have the chance~

Kkkk gtg ppl, cya and have fun in your holidays no matter how boring they may be!!~ XD

Bye~!

Holidays=Fun + Boredom (But mostly fun :D)

Hey ppl,

Today I made some cookies. Chocolate Chip cookies. And they taste sooo good. Lol I bought it somewhere in Brunei a few months ago and I decided to make them today since I've been procrastinating for a looong time. XD

Today I went to Boulevard too with my mum and sister~ I bought three things and they're all food. XD (Ok why did I tell you that?XD) Anyway Poh Huai's already in KL. And I'm still here. And I need a vacation~~and fast~~

Anyway, I've been chosen to represent the Youth fellowship in the Bible Knowledge Competition in my church (圣经常识比赛) and like, we have to study twelve books! 0_0 I know... it sounds like a lot~~ But actually it's not that much when you look at the pages 'cause one book is just 10+ pages I think? Yeah we have to read from the book of Hoshea (何西阿书) to Malachi (玛拉基书). There are like four different groups I think? Every year we have the competition...Oooooo did I mention before?? My church, Life Methodist Church won the Bible Knowledge Competition for the whole of Miri, and that was like, against all the Methodist churches in Miri!! Woohoo. We won it like last year. And three times straight in three years. That's why we get to keep the trophy. XD Anyway the competition has like four teams, (but I don't really know how to say it in English XD) the Adults team (成团), err, Youths team (after Form 5 ppl) (青团), the team I'm in, Youth team (Form 1-5) (少团), and the Women's team. (妇女会组) And from what I know we lose every single year. And we get the lowest scores. XD Lol maybe that's because they're all older than us!! That's like, not fair~ XD (Stop complaining Xin Zhe)

O well, wish me all the best~ Btw if you didn't know, I go to a Chinese church, Life Methodist church in Lutong, ('cause the one in Pujut is English) and we're gonna move into our new church this December! It's gonna be big and I mean BIG...you better be there...or else...XD jk. We did so much to build our church. Organising the Jogerthon, raising funds, food sales, etc.. That's why you should come and support us! When you go to Lutong, and you see a building with a shiny/silvery (well it looks silver from faraway) roof and a cross on it, then you know that's gonna be my new church. Sseriously, it's that obvious. You can't miss it~~unless you got problems. XD

O yeah we had our Youth Fellowship Election Meeting last Saturday. (Sounds very official, doesn't it?) And since I'm a member, I have to go. Only 17 (or was it 18) got chosen, and to be one is a privilege. You get to do stuff. This year, until December I'm in the Testimony Group (见证组) and I'm the head of it. With that comes responsibility and like, at ellowship meetings I have to lead the prayer session (代祷时光) and pray for things that are happening (-_-" duh~) and also other jobs which I'm to lazy to list out. But last Saturday I got elected out of the Testimony Group. My vice got elected to become the head, while I became the head of another group, the Evangelist Group. (宣教组) Yeah I gotta do all these evangelistic activites next year for the fellowship~~

This is a picture of me and Poh Huai, the guy who sits next to me and the guy I usually hang out with. Lol found in in my Pictures folder. I took this pic on like the last day of school (for me that is, 'cause I was going on the Kuching Trip next week)~~ Well it was the last day of school before the news that there was school on Monday got to me when I was on the Kuching trip~ Lol kinda like this pic~XD

I gotta go now,

Leave comments!! Cya~!

A Birthday Dinner~!

Hey people,

Last Friday, (14/11) we went to celebrate Zheng Lin's birthday! Woohoo~! XD We went to Parkson to meet and stuff. :D. Lol, anyway, I suggested we did a birthday party. Well, not really a party. We just went out to eat. Lol, we had the birthday dinner early, just af ew days before his birthday :D.

Anyway, there were 8 people who went. Me, Poh Huai, Zheng Lin, Zheng Lin's brother, Leonard, Jason, Eugene, Shaw Chung. Shaw Chung didn't join us for the dinner though, he had to leave early. So here's what happened. We met at Parkson at about 2.3o pm, and as usual, Eugene just had to be at the cyber cafe. With all the others. It was cool though.

A while later, Me, Poh Huai and Jason went to buy 2 slices of cake and also a present. 2 slices are enough right?? I got a candle too :D For the present we got a USB. Lol I thought it would make a great present. O yea only me and Poh Huai paid for the cake and the USB. 'Cause Jason didn't have change.

After that we went to watch Madagascar 2. I must say it's a really funny movie. Lol can giraffes fall in love with hippopotamuses?? Lol and I like the main characters as well.The graphics were really cool too~~ Btw, we saw a lot of people in Parkson~! There was Bin Li, Lau, and a 4E1 person (-_-) and then Ms. Low Kha Noi and also other people.

After the movie we went to the cyber again, and then we went outside of Parkson to a Chinese restaurant to eat. Then I gave Zheng Lin his cake and the present. It was a really cool dinner~ Seriously! I mean, whenever we go out it's always fast food in the mall. Now, we can eat Chinese food with rice. Which makes it healthier. XD Here are some pictures:


Zheng Lin and his birthday cake~


The people who went. Where am I? I'm taking the picture!~ (Obviously -_-)


Me and Shuai Ge Zheng Lin~~ This was taken when we got back to Parkson after the dinner~~

That's all people~~Hope you enjoyed it~:D

Btw, I'm going to KL in early December. Hopefully I can buy the stuff I want there!~ Ooooo and I'm meeting Poh Huai there too. We're gonna meet in a mall! I mean how cool is that?? Meeting a friend in a different city. No wait, in the capital! That's gonna be sooooo cool. I think me and Poh Huai are meeting in KLCC. Depends on which one is more convenient. But we're only meeting if we got time and transport. Anyway, have fun in your holidays too!! XD

Cya!!~~

After Exams and Kuching Trip!

Hey PPL!

First of all I am sooooo sorry for not updating for sooo long since after the exams all i did was play games! XD Anyway, tomorrow's the last day of school...yeah, some ppl are happy, some are sad. I guess I'm in between. Anyway I got 7th position in class! How cool is that!?

Anyway I'm guessing all of you know abt the Kuching trip right?? It was a blast! It was seriosuly awesome. I think I'm gonna miss it-that is, miss living with people around my age and going around to malls and other places everyday. Overall I think it was quite fun~O and I'm gonna poast pictures to make you people jealous, so yeah. XD Be jealous~ Lol just jk. I'll explain the trip as you look at the pictures!

Day 1

Ok so like we started out real early in the morning. We lined up in the school hall and then Mr Wong gave a talk? Right..Ok then we went on the bus and off to Sibu! Woohoo~ -_-''

On the way, we have a lot of stops at rest centres-mostly in the middle of nowhere. It's surprising how people can live there. XD jk. Anyway I think this was at the Batu Niah stop? I THINK. And they had like a mini zoo in there. Omg didn't expect that and they had it near the toilet. Yeah so this is one the pictures I took it looks like a weird turtle.......(Well duh it's a turtle Xin Zhe)

This is me. -_-" O....k so like on the first day we had to like wear the school T-shirt 'cause we're visiting SMK Sacred Heart in Sibu when we get there. On my left is a white snake and around it is serious cash. They've got like, all types of money in there. I think it's suppose to bring you good luck?

After like, I don't know how long but I know it was realy really long, we got to SMK Sacred Heart Sibu. The school's freaking huge man. And the best part was they welcomed us like VIPs there! Seriously, all the prefects were lined up at the gate and clapping as we entered. And then the Vice principal I think ushered us in. Yeah and then we went to the cafeteria (above) to have our meal. The guy on the left is the vice principal. Lol he looks way serious.XD

You see the prefects??? Very serious looking right?? It's like they're trained for the job, as in like they were paid for it. It was kinda ok. Apart from the fact that they brought us to their freezing conferece room (They have THREE comference rooms) and did a slide show about everything in their school. Like, zzzzzzzzz..... XD the prefects did the talking though. Omg it's like being in a police station or the military! Did you know unauthorised cars in the school grounds get chained up?! That's like so mean. But cool. :D And the prefects have a lot more jobs than the prefects in St. Columba. Too many to name, in fact. LOL you know the funny part?? they kept having technical problems in between and they had to like, do stuff to their computers to fix it!! They must've been freakin embarrassed cuz their school has all the BEST things. Seriously, I saw that they had Antivirus 2009??? Helloooo is it even 2009 yet?? XD

At the end of their long presentation, Mr Yuan went to give the vice principal a plaque thing to remember St. Columba's visit.

Day 2

This was on the bus and taken from my seat (duh). Well I think the Form 3's were practicing how to sing a song? It's for the first barbeue night performance at the Inti college we're staying at in Kuching.

Very cool rite??? XD i took it in the bus~~

After a very very long time we reached the place called Inti college. Why on earth it's called Inti college I do not know. But what I do know is that it looks pretty on the outside. Yea so like when we got there a guy spoke to us about stuff blbalblalba....

Then, the facilitators for the college, who I think take care of visitors and play games with them, brought us to a room to play these really fun games! I seriously liked the spreading the message game thing. It's like you have to perfomr an action, adn then perfomr it to the next person in line without speaking and then the last person guesses what the action is. Mine was too easy la...it was obviously CPR. Lol, unlike the woman in labour and the toilet cleaner XD Well this part you see here is the group cheer and motto thing.

So is this. Lol Leonard's team did a meowing cat call~

The Form 3 girls doing a sizzling hip hop dance. Omg I didn't even knwo they could groove like that! Like serious pros man, no joke. In the pic you see Carolyn doing a splitz. Spankin'!

Day 3

Kampung Budaya Kuching. We went there in the morning~

This is me on a bamboo bridge. You know what? I like this picture! Makes me look.....yeah you know anything good XD

A real skull?

I Carolyn has such amazing photography skills. XD Lol i thought I was the one who took the pic XD

I don't know what it's used for but I think it's used to make tofu? Yeah and it was in the Chinese farmhouse~ While there we just walked around the place to different types of houses that belonged to different ethnic groups. Was quite fun~ Yea but most Bumiputera houses are like the same and there were tons of them~

In the Malay house playing congkak

Do I look small compared to the stilt house??

Sword making. The guy was there but didn't show us how to make a sword though.

Rat skins, snake skins. What'd they do to the body?

Mr Yuan and Ms Huang Mei Yew who led the trip~ The other Malay teacher (I think) wasn't there....

The dances.

The funky guy dancing. He was seriously funny man! I mean, there was this one time when he was trying to shoot a balloon using his blowpipe, then he turned around and pulled his skirt-like undergarments thing :S sry dunno what it's called, as if people were actually looking beneath it. Gross much?


Helena, Form 3, having her hand cut off by the funky dude. Haiya it's not real lah. And some of the girls were like "No! No!" -_-"" Yeah really sweat~

At the end of their show, they invited random people from teh audience to dance! And most of them were us! Phew I didn't dance though, hehe. Btw, you see those shirts we're wearing? That's our T-shirt for this trip. It says on the back of it "The Journey of Knowledge" -_-" I mean, I could go on a "Journey of Knowledge" by reading a book lah~~ Lol, just kidding. I like the design too, looks really modern and stuff. AND the important thing is that it was designed by no other than the rising art celebrity, and my classmate Ngu Shien Howe! Woohoo *round of applause* XD

Lol, some of the 4e2 people also danced on stage! Above you will see pro dancer Zheng Lin, and groovy Leonard and funky Shaw Chung....what's he looking at? XD

After Kampung Budaya, we went to the RTM station! It's huge! Omg and it was like a seriously cool experience man! Omg you should've been there! We went on air LIVE! Yeah and I mean LIVE. L-I-V-E. Well, some of us that is. The local DJ chose three people to interview on air, all Form 3s, by which one was Carolyn. It was cool man! Some people were taking out their cellphones or MP3s and listening to them at the same time as the broadcast. Lol it's like listening to a radio AND watching TV, and everything's live! And whoa the DJs do it so professionally, it's like everything is sorted out! Above you see some of the students crowded insisde the broadcast room, which is soundproof and insulated. Btw the radio channel is Red FM. English one. Lol did any of you hear our broadcast?

This is Mr Yuan looking really happy to be interviewed. He went in alone though.

Some of the Form 3 students who went on the trip.

After that, we went to the Muzium Islam, which had like, Islamic stuff I guess? Like historical artifacts and so on. yeah we jsut stopped by randomly 'cause it was close. After taht, we went to the India Street. Lol, yep that Chinese sign above says "Ya Da Jie" which I think means India street. And I was thinking why the heck is it called India street??? I mean, msot of the shops there are Chinese la! Lol, maybe the Indian shops vanished?

Kuching Riverfront. This was taken from inside a boat.

After going on the boat ride, we all gathered and we were off to enjoy oursleves at the mall. And malls were like everywhere at that part of teh city. Above are the Form 3 people I was with, Carolyn and if I'm not mistaken, Daryl and Hafreez. Thanks again for hanging out with me! XD

Day 4

In the morning we went to a shophouse area to eat. On Day 4 we were going to visit a fish farm, Swinburne University and then go to a mall called "The Spring" I bet you're sooooo jealous now. XD

Carolyn and Helena. Lol, the waitress kept bringing the wrong drink!

The fishies at the fish farm. It's kinda like, super small. We had to like walk for 4 minutes under the sun before we got to the farm. It's just...two rooms only I guess. And the fish weren't that much too, but it was cool.

This is soo perverted man, that guy was trying to show us the gender of the fish and then touching their parts with their fingers! They even showed us fish sperm! The guy squeezed the fish's part and out came the sperm. Ew. Ok so...why did they show us the sperm again??? Lol, one Form 4 girl even touched it! (I don't think she knew what it was) Bleuk!

The fish container. Don't fall in guys.

After that, we went to Swinburne university! Lol I was feeling reallly sleepy at that time. I mean, I was half-asleep when the lady was giving a talk about the school. And heck it's freakin' huge there!

The super-huge library.

After that, we went to The Spring. Lol at first when they were saying we were going to the sprng, i thought it was as in "Hot Springs" Yeah that was weird. Above is me and my former private tuition teacher in front of The Big Apple Donuts. The teachers met up with their friends! There was the former St Co teacher Ms. Sim Chen Chen, then Mr Wong Kung Kui and some other guy, and then my teacher above.

The Spring has like, lots of food outlets and electronics stores. they also have an MPH there. I ate at the Secret Recipe there and had Spaghetti. They have like, more cakes than the Secret recipe in Miri!

The various flavours of the donuts. When can they have it in Miri??

After that , we went back to INTI college to prepare for our returning journey tomorrow.

Day 5

We woke up real early in the morning for our journey back to Miri. We reached Miri at like about 10.30 pm, omg. The journey was freakin' long and we had some stops on the way at rest stations. It was a heck of a trip because our bus sucks. You know what? On the way, the air cond BROKE and we had to ride in the bus looking like fish at the fish market. I was like steaming and red and sweaty all over! Can you imagine riding in a bus with no air cond and little ventilation?? AND it was like around 4 or 5 that time and it was HOT. The guys on the other bus had air cond while we were stuck here in our sauna bus. I mean, they have LOTSof problems, the freaking CD player has problems, the lights have problems, so we have to like, look in the dark for our bags when we were getting off the bus. -_-"

Anyway, when we were nearing St. Co, everyone cheered and our trip to Kuching finally had come to an end. Lol, we were like homecoming heroes. There were people waiting for us at the gate, and even the principal was there. XD When i got home, I bathed, went on the internet and then slept. Whew it was tiring~ But Fun~

Overall this trip was really cool and fun and enjoyable~ Hope there could be mroe trips like this in the future and I could take my friends with me when I go. XD And to the people who didn't go- don't be too sad. And jealous. There's always a next time right? (I think XD)

Hope you enjoyed my post!!! Give me loads of comments everyone! And tell your friends too!

Cya!!!
