'Twas the Night After Christmas XD

Hey Ppl,

Merry Christmas!!!! (Although I'm one day late...) But but but that doesn't mean I can't wish you today~XD Anyway sorry about not posting after I cam back from the trip...been quite busy with stuff, and tomorrow, 27th of December is gonna be out new church opening ceremony! It's gonna be big. Seriously. Everyone's gonna be there. There'll be performances of all kinds, choir singing (which I'm in) and the Head of the Methodist Churches in Miri (教区长) is gonna host the cutting of the ribbon and also deliver the sermon. Actually we've moved in already a week or two ago...but this is the official openiong ceremony so yeah.

Hmm....about my trip to Johor and KL.....It was FUN!~ Woohoo bet you didn't have any fun in Miri~~ XD Joking~~! Anyway, we went to loads of places but the main thing was to visit my grandfather. And we went to a lot of places with a lot of people, my relatives, cousins, etc so it was pretty much a huge group!~ We had three cars~~and drove them all the way from Johor to KL and back. Is that not fun or what? Considering the fact that my aunt's car has a TV~~ Haha so we went to palces including Sunway Lagoon, 1 Utama mall, Sungei Wang Plaza, malls in Johor as well, KLCC (went there to go onto the skybrige in the morning but it was out of tickets?! Wth right?~), and other places~It was fun overall, I think I'll post some pics.

Anyway yesterday was Christmas Day!! Merry Christmas again!!The day to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, the Saviour. And of course I went to church and I also brought my childhood friend, who's studying in England, with me~~haha we were in the same kindergarten, same primary school, we moved to Beijing coincidentally during Primary Four but at different times in Primary Four, and we were also in the same school in Beijing....and now, since he's visiting Miri I took him to church, the mall and stuff ~*sigh* memories~~~ Kk XD just reminiscing the Beijing times..I loved it there!~ I loved my school, my home, the seasons, everything!~ I know! I'll post some of my Beijing pictures so you'll know what I'm talking about~! It's not everyday that I do this you know!!~So Enjoy!!

Btw on Christmas Day yesterday, we assembled in our new church, as I've said before that we moved in a few weeks ago..It's kinda high tech if you ask me. Dunno how to describe it in detail so the only wall you'll know is by coming to it! Don't worry I'll be your tour guide!~XD And yesterday I sang in the choir, singing the song 谁会差派婴孩? (Who would send a baby?), a song translated from English which is kinda cool~~ And then there was one dance, which my sister was part of~~ It was awesome!~

Kk anyway enough talking let the pictures do the talking~ Enjoy~!


This photo was taken in Beijing in the year 2003 I think. Hehe~ this is my Beijing home! The first one that is, I moved into a bigger one later, but at the same location. This is a picture of me and my friend(in the middle) called Li Ren and my sister, before he moved to Shanghai.


Us now!~ This was taken yesterday, on Christmas Day in the new Church stage. Lol~~ I really really like this pic!~ It's sooo nice and cool that we can meet each other!~


The place where I lived in when I was in Beijing. It's called China World Apartments and it's very very pretty inside. All the rooms, at least the rooms I'm in, are fully furnished, they have carpet flooring, lots of facilities like gyms, a sauna, and much more. Seriously, I think it's only meant for foreign people. There's an identical one on the left which isn't in the picture, much like the Petronas Twin Towers, only shorter!


Snowing in Beijing....if only there was snow in Miri~XD Lol


My room. I have MSN Explorer on!~ Btw there's also a TV in front of the table on the right of the picture which isn't in the picture.


Me and family during the National Day in China in Tiananmen Square.~


My school! It's called Yew Chung International School btw. This was taken during the school's Family Day. (Usually international schools are packed with events all year round, no kidding). On the far right you'll see me! XD O yeah the Family day was themed a tribute to Disney. We were singing and performing some Disney songs. That tigger paper mache you see by the steps was made by me and a Japanese girl!~ We were paired boy-girl boy-girl I think~XD


Ok back to Miri~~This is our newly-built Church!! It looks exciting to be in and it is exciting to be in. All that fund-raising and praying, and all our efforts...we finally achieved our dream of building a new church! You should come too!! Call me if you want to!~ XD


The dance on Christmas Day by the Sunday School Children.


Now for my Johor and KL trip. I forgot the actual name of the place but I think it's Air Panas Waterfalls. Small waterfalls, btw. And the water is cold, not hot like its name!


Me and my cousins~~and sister XD


We went to Sunway Lagoon and KL after spending some time in Johor. The watches (used as tickets) are proof!!


Scream Park. Didn't buy that package though. We only went for Water Park and Amusement Park.


According to the sign, this is supposedly the World's longest pedestrian suspension bridge.


After that, we went to Sunway Pyramid Mall just opposite the entrance to Sunway Lagoon.


Ths skating rink!~


I like how the lion's eyes glow~


Where I stayed. But my relatives all stayed in a different hotel. We stayed in this one 'cause my father was staying in this one and he had a business trip.


After that, 'cause we didn't get tickets to the Skybridge in KLCC, we went to Petrosains, a science museum in KLCC. It was kinda fun~~ My sis went there for a third time, while I went for a second time. It was a good idea since I had a lot of cousins who are children. Above is a newly added feature in the museum, there are colourful sprinkled dropping above me and they identify your shadow and the sprinkles make it look as if they're falling on you yourself XD

Ok I think that's about it~ I'm lazy to show other photos~~ XD Don't be mad haha~~ Anyway, hope you enjoyed the pictures, and don't forget to leave comments!! And again, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!~
Cya~!

Hello world,

Change of plans people. I'm actually going to Johor, then in the middle of my vacation I'm going to KL for about 2 days I think? Well, I hope Johor will be fun too. XD I wanna go to the malls there...there's like malls everywhere man, they're like all over the place. West Malaysia is crawling with them. XD

So anyway, I won't be online for about 2 weeks, but if I get the chance, I'll go online there :) .

Well I'll be leaving tomorrow evening, so wish me have a good trip!! XD Have fun in Miri if you're still here!! XD (I know I know...XD but maybe something interesting will happen in Miri? )

The Christmas Parade~

Hey ppl,

There's been a lot happening lately..

I was supposed to go out with ppl this Wed, but something happened.

My Grandfather passed away... :'( It was so sudden, I mean, he was ok before but after what happened, he passed away so suddenly...it was really saddening, 'cause I didn't even get to see him before he passed away..

Anyway, I returned from Sibu yesterday after the funeral and everything, and I wish and hope that my grandfather will rest in peace.

Then today, was the Christmas Parade :D It was sooo cool and fun man. You should've went. But you didn't so it's your loss. jk. haha anyway before I go on to the parade...

MAS Wings kinda sucks.

It's sooo totally different from Malaysia airlines. What is it? A division of MAS or what 'cause when I looked at the schedule, most of it is MAS Wings MAS Wings MAS Wings.

So why is it not good?? Well when they were serving the drinks, I asked for orange juice. And the flight attendant was like. "I'm sorry we don't have orange juice." 0_0 .....No orange juice? This is an almost 1-hour flight and there's NO ORANGE JUICE? What are they nuts? I can't go on a flight with NO orange juice. XD I mean how can they not have orange juice?? All they have is Pepsi, Milo, Tea? And some other drinks which I don't know, 'cause they just asked "What drinks do you want" without saying what type of drinks they are. So I just took the Milo. And btw, it ain't fresh. It's packaged. The type that children drink, like a juice box. Well I would've taken the Pepsi if they'd told me there was Pepsi. Sheesh. And omg, and it's not even cold! How mediocre is that?? And there's not even anything to eat either. You have to ask to have just a pack of biscuits to eat. And that was just the beginning. It was the flight when I was on my way to Sibu. But on my way back was even more suckish. This time they didn't even have a trolley to push around. The air stewardess just took a tray, like the one's we use in KFC or Sugar Bun, and then arranges the drinks on it and then just gave them to us. There were two choices only! TWO! It's either the packaged Milo again or Soya Bean Milk....-_-

And have I mentioned their uniform?? The air stewardess was like wearing something that looked greenish. Yeah, green.

Lol, sorry for my ranting XD Well at least they have drinks, whil Air Asia has none at all XD

Okok back to the Christmas Parade. Where was I? O right it was sooooo cool and fun man. When we gathered at City Fan, there was like loads of people and I mean LOADS. And increasing by the second. I think every Christian Church participated. Catholics, Baptist, Methodist (which I'm in) etcetc. I saw Charis' dad, lol.

So then there were speeches, but I didn't really listen 'cause it was inda noisy, then singing. By that time it was getting dark already. And then omg, I didn't know Datuk George Chan came?! He gave a speech in English, and I didn't really listen too XD, but I did rememeber one part:

"Nobody, nobody should disturb us having our celebration."

Well it was something like that, I think. I don't remember the real thing. It was kinda related to freedom of religion or something. XD

Then it was the parade. We went church by church, carrying lanterns with lighted candles in then in shapes of stars, hearts, candles and the cross. I carried a star-shaped one :)

Then we paraded through town, and there were loads of people standing by the roadside looking at our super long line of people from different churches. I bet they were jealous. XD jk. Chinese churches, Iban churches, English-speaking and Malay speaking. It was cool. Some of the people from my church shouted Merry Christmas or Jesus Loves You (in Chinese) to the people standing by the road and waved to them. They waved back, too. Lol, it was kinda strange saying Merry Christmas so early XD. Then there was carol-singing, in Chinese. My little sister and her friends also handed out leaflets and invitation cards/bookmark shaped to invite the bystanders to come to our Christmas celebrations.

The parade route was starting from City Fan, until as far as the traffic light before St. Columba. Then we went round the roundabout back. We also passed Imeprial Mall on our way too. It was seriously cool.

Lol, there were even traffic police to direct our way and the cars' way, to tell us or them when to stop. Lol there was this woman in car, who got scolded by the traffic police 'cause she was kinda in our lane, where all the paraders were, where she shouldn't be. XDXD

Omg, did you know other churches, I think the Iban had floats?? With people waving in them. I mean we don't even have floats! Well we did last year. Lol maybe they wanna save space?? And they have these huge banners and all, and some even have lights built in them. Then there were people dressed as Santa Claus, angels, Bible characters' clothes, etc. Then nearing the end, there was a truck also which played Chinese Christian rap music. XD

So after that, we finished. We put back all the lanterns and stuff and went home. Some people still stayed to listen to people sing and stuff. Btw I wore Santa hat XD They gave almost everyone one to wear~ Then 'cause we didn't have dinner yet we went to Sin Soon Chin to eat.

It was a remarkable experience, and now I've been in two Christmas parades, one last year, and one this year XD I don't think I'll ever forget it~~

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures 'cause I didn't bring a camera. I know, awwwwwwwwww. Lol but if I do manage to get some of the photos of event, I'll post them, but that is, only if I do. Hehe.

Well, gotta go people, don't forget to leave comments, cya!~
