Trip to Ipoh and Cameron Highlands

As I promised, I will post something regarding on my trip. Hmmm...where should I start...Ok, I took off on Monday, 21 Dec about 10.00a.m. Using Global Positioning System(GPS) as our guidance, we drove to Ipoh. When we arrived there, it was night already. Night at Ipoh is beautiful, full of decoration, what we can't see at Permas Jaya.

Later, we stayed at Ipoh for a night. The next morning, 22 Dec we headed to Cameron Highlands. So glad that I was not car-sick. This is the photo that I shot when my father stopped for a while for photo shotting. We been awed by the landscape of the Cameron Highlands.

The weather became colder and colder. We saw a lot of vegetables and strawberry farm along the journey. Finally, about 12.00 noon, we reached Brinchang to find a resort to stay. The resort that our family stayed got three rooms.

Resort as background...

After settling down, we went to look around the market that sell cactus and flowers. Too bad we went to the Cameron Highlands at this time, the strawberry had not ripe, so the owner did not allow the visitors to go in the farm.

Cactus

杜鹃花-Rhododendron

Cactus

杜鹃花-Rhododendron

天堂鸟-Strelitzia reginae

We went to Ee Feng Gu Honey Bee Farm also...

The bees usually do not simply sting anybody unless provoked!!

Know what is this?? This is the spider web hold with droplets!! Feel amazing that the web has not break apart so I shot it...

The basic organization in bees' kingdom...

Dinner time!!!! We went to steamboat restaurant to get ourself a good feast, although the food came out not so nice. After that, we took a walk at the market, what we called "pasar malam". The weather is unbearably cold without jacket at night. But I heard a lot of people said that Cameron Highlands not cold anymore due to global warming. Maybe my cold receptor under the skin is too sensitive. Later, we went back to resort to take a bath. Too bad, when I took mine, the water is freezing and ended up taking my bath shivering and shuderring...

Woke up with fresh, cold air and tranquil atmosphere...The shivering bath last night seems make my cold receptor became less sensitive, so less sneezing today...

The whole resort...I stayed at the 4th level...Just imagine, carrying the suitcase to the highest without an elevator...You won't sweat in this weather...

To the Rose Valley-There are hundred species of roses at here...Roses have their symbolism with different colours...I just summarize the details I saw in the internet...

Red- love, respect

Deep pink- gratitude, appreciation

Light pink- admiration, sympathy

White- reverence, humility

Yellow- joy, gladness, sociability, friendship

This cactus is 41 years old...Old enough to be my father...

Me again...In rose valley

Other bloggers: Stop posting your photo on blog!!!

Me: Oops...Sorry...

This is my post regarding on the trip to the Ipoh and Cameron Highlands. The Penang and Melaka still in progress and will be published in my next blog.

Wish you never said Goodbye...

How unfair...Things just happened like that without noticing. When I woke up from my dream, I received quite a shock message from Cheng Yi that Shu Yuan is leaving tomorrow!!!!!!

To: Shu Yuan

SOMETHING I WANT TO SAY

Saw Cheng Yi's post, she said she cried a little...Sorry for I cannot do like that, I am a person who hate to sob, to cry (Crying makes me feel weak)...I saw your message you sent to me, quite touching. Maybe you did not feel like that, but you are the first one who sent message like that to me. You told me how precious friend you think I am, no one said something to me before, and that makes me feel that I have to do better as your friend. Maybe it is too late??

SOMETHING I WILL MISS ABOUT U

I did not know that you will feel so bad about that incident as I already forgot. If I mentioned anything harsh, I am sorry, really. I am glad to know you and having you as my friend. Maybe we have the similar personality, we get along so well...So glad to meet a joker like you. You always teasing around(did I use the right word??), bring laughter to everyone and I will miss your "hehehehe" for sure...

SOMETHING THAT I WILL REGRET

I had already decided that next year I will sit with you and Cheng Yi and of course Wei Seen(others also, too many to list)...We will strive and work together in the stressful year. Seems that I will be disappointed. Leaving so soon, I am not prepared yet, not even the farewell party!! But if the farewell party is for hugging and crying together, maybe I will not go, afraid of losing control...And the message you sent to me hmmm...nearly make me cry...I said "nearly" means no tears came out, just feel something uneasy in my chest...Shu Yuan, you left a great impact on me and also a full pack of memories...

Lastly, I want to say "Thank you" and "Sorry" for you as my friend. I will miss you, definitely. I will pass your present, maybe today at night. Don't cry when you read this post. Haha. Remember to keep in touch. At last, Goodbye and bon voyage.

Why must you move??

Shu Yuan is moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????

I thought i you were just joking when you told me that your were going to transfer the next day itself. You didn't even give me a chance to be ready like a week before or something. Then we could plan a proper farewell party for you. I did cried a little when you left, you know.......

Really would MISS YOU A LOT!!!! Make sure that we would still keep in contact and update our blog, ok?

I can't believe that i missed so much post while i'm in China. And sorry that it takes such a long time for me to post something in our family blog. My most sincerest apologies ......... ..

First and foremost, i want to express my happiness to everyone because my daughter (Wei Seen) is getting more and more like me. Yay !!!!! The moneyminded sort of person. Haha ...... looks like appa needs to work extra hard next year.

1. A blank check with a signature on it (no signatures, no withdrawal)
2. World peace (sounds so familliar, doesn't it)
3. Celebrate with my family
4. See snow falling from the sky (never got to see it yet, it really depends on your luck, really)

Merry Christmas~~~

Hey guys!! Sorry that I'm not updating my post...been working lately...

So how is everyone holidays?? Having fun?? or...not having fun (stupid question)...

Christmas arriving...don't know you guys having any idea on what kind of presents you want (except Shu Yuan, still thinking what kind of present can I give you...How in the earth I'll find you Jacob Black??!!)??

Maybe I'll just give you guys something I can find...maybe posters?? I'll try to find presents that suit each of you...As for Shu Yuan...I'll give you birthday present + christmas present...ok??

Anyway...if you guys want to update my news, you can go to my blog, I'll update my news there. ^_^

One more thing...to all my family members...merry christmas!!~~ ^_^

Appa, ... ...

A reply to Appa:

Appa, guess what, I'm still going to ask pocket money from you. Because... ...

I only have money coming in until the end of December.

I need money for school fees.

I did not go to the New Moon movie, but I want to go to umm... no, I want to buy CD., lots of them.

I didn't have a wedding dinner, but... I want a vacation with sweetie.

Anyway, I just want to say, again,

I miss you.

Hoooooooliday.....

Sigh. Me, Shu Yuan and Wei Seen are the only three who updated their blog...The others mostly gone for vacation.

First and foremost, I want to clarify something to Miss Chua Shu Yuan that I am the one who wrote the New Moon summary. From your comment, you thought the one who wrote is Wei Seen, isn't it? Never mind, just wanna say something to lengthen my paragraph.

Hmmm...Next, about Shu Yuan's present...I cannot pretend that I did not read your blog. So, you asked for a present but I am not sure I will hand it to you right in Christmas. Can I give it to you after holiday? Let's exchange Christmas present, ok? But the present I will give you surely not from your Christmas list...Where am I going to find Jacob Black for you? I think I will buy it when I go for vacation...Souvenir...Stuff like that, are you ok with it?

Last, for my daughter, Wei Seen...Since you are working, I think you are not asking for pocket money from me anymore...haha

Maybe this is the last blog I will update before Christmas. Therefore, an early Christmas wish to all my family members and Happy Holiday to all of you too!!

Bad Romance

Don't know why I'm hooked to Lady Gaga's bad romance lately and can't get that song out of my head. Then there's Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment which I began liking after catching the last 3 Singapore Idols singing it together.

I just keep singing those two songs whenever I'm in the toilet and hope my back neighbours just don't freak out.

Goodness me, its been such a long time I have not completed my family story.

Getting lazy these days...

To anyone of my family who reads this,I want a Christmas Present.

The next post is definitely about continuing the family story.

I Miss Everyone

don't know what's been going on at the house
since nobody is staying there
will there be a lot of dust

the whole family has gone for vacation
I wonder
where are they
are they having fun
are they missing me
(forget about the last one^^)

I wanna go back home
I miss home
but I don't want to do the chores
it's quite tiring
and I don't want to crack my head
just to find a shortcut to finish them

anyway
everyone
as I had already said in an earlier blog
must
again I repeat
must have the time of their lives
get out there and have fun
do something exciting
something heart throbbing
something
anything
that will make your life more colourful

my last statement for today
I love you
and miss you
everyday of the week

TRA....lalalalala

Happy Birthday Ming Thing!

Alas,you are going to turn 16!

Lets hope you stop saying Miao Miao everyday!

My Wish List

Since Shu Yuan started it, I'll be a follower in the wish list...

I won't have rankings as... I don't know...

"Omma... ... teach me please..."

"About what?"

"How to make a wish list"

"...for?"

"I don't know..."

"... ... ..." (>_<)

I want to see my sweetie once everyday.

"I want my own life!!"
"I won't bother you... sweetie"
"You keep stalking me everyday of the week, even called my cellphone non-stop!!"
"Because I miss you..."
"We see each other everyday!"
... ... ... ... ... ...

I wanna live in a small house alone... outside of town... maybe in the woods?

"Help!! Help!! There's a snake under my stove!"
"O ya, I'm living alone..."
"Help!! Omma... I don't want to die...!!"
"I'm already out of traps..."
... ... ... ... ... ...

I want my passion and my life to be one, not the opposite.

"Aiyo, why you always want to waste paper?"
"Why can't I? Since you always take my food"
"Aiyo... I can't stand your weird voices!!"
"Well, brother, you always switch the volume of the radio to max when the songs are all hard rock."
... ... ... ... ... ...

I want to only date, no weddings... even if there is, I'll immigrate to the end of the world.

"Why are you still fantasizing when you already have your sweetie?"
"But Omma, I want to know romance... besides, sweetie has her husbands."
"Then why don't you have a child?"
"I'll only adopt, but it'll take a long time for the process..."
"Haih, why are you like this?"
"Because I'm Ji Dong"
"I don't get it, where's the link?"
"Well, I don't know, but someday I'll know the reason."
... ... ... ... ... ...

I want to see the truth behind everyone...I don't want secrets... It kills...

"I can't tell you."
"But why???"
"Because your still young."
"I'm old enough!!"
"It's just..."
"What?"
"It's too embarrassing."
"Come on Appa, I just want to know how did you met Omma..."
"Umm...."
"Omma how did you and Appa met?"
"It all started when I was in school and......"
"Honey, please don't, please..."
"Why is Appa so scared Omma?"
"I'm not sure... maybe he's scared that he'll lose his dignity?"
"Nooo..."
"Well, it all started when... ...
... ... ... ... ... ...

Allen-The war ended

Kanda-The war ended

Only the one who had read or watched D Gray Man will know what I posted. Erm...Feel that it is quite interesting so I share it with Kim and Wei Seen.

New Moon

Erm...According to Shu Yuan's comment, I am going to talk about the movie-New Moon. So, I beg for pardon for my broken English and also insufficient of information.

The movie started with Bella (female protagonist)'s dream. She was dreaming about her grandmother, but after that she realised that the grandmother is just her reflection. The dream surely scared her off as she was the one who aged but not Edward (male protagonist-a vampire). That day was her birthday.

According to her personality, she did not want any present, party or grand celebration. She wanted to celebrate her birthday as her way but this did not work for Alice (Edward's sister). She wanted to celebrate Bella's birthday in her way!! So, in order to let Bella attended the party, Jasper (Alice's mate) manipulated Bella's emotion and tricked her into it.

However, the party turned out into an irreversible disaster. An accidentally paper cut when Bella unwrapped her present made Jasper bewildered as he could not control his thirst. This is the reason that Edward left Bella. Edward's left made Bella experienced her most painful and tortured period.

Bella felt hurt as Edward left her. Her wound was recovered when she spent time with Jacob. Bella asked Jacob to repair motorbikes as she wanted to try something dangerous and more impulsive so she could hear Edward's voice warning her.

Bella started to be cheerful and talked to her friend like she used to be and developed feeling to Jacob. She discovered that she could not leave Jacob. At that time, Jacob happened to be a werewolf. The first time he protected Bella is the time when Bella met Lauren. The second he truly transformed into wolf in front of her was the time he had a fight with his brother (one of the wolf pack) as Bella discovered their secret.

All of the ambiguous stuffs between Bella and Jacob are intruded by Alice's presence, later brought out the news that Edward was headed to Volturi when he thought Bella had died. Of course, the storyline is continued with rescuing Edward mission and a meeting with Volturi. I commented that Jacob is more muscular than Edward as the scene that Edward took off his shirt was not so attractive. Haha. He don't look so tough (heard that Robert Pattinson does not like to go to gym). Anyway, there was a fight when meeting Volturi as Bella had known all the vampire's secret. That is a fight worth to see as you can watch Edward being smashed on the ground. After Alice promised that she will turn Bella herself, the Volturi released them.

Going back to Forks...Bella asked the Cullens to vote whether she was going to change to a vampire or not. Almost all the Cullens' members stood on her side. Ok, I am going to end my blog now. Hmm...The story ended with a fight between Jacob and Edward (rules in treaty). A little bit unexpected, the movie ended with "Marry me, Bella" as Bella wanted Edward to change her into a vampire and in exchange Edward wanted Bella to marry him.

I had counted that Bella and Edward had kissed 4 times in the movie. Pity, Bella and Jacob almost kissed (blame the phone)!!! Phew. I racked my brain for these. I never done this before. Chua Shu Yuan, you are the first. Anyway, Happy Holiday for everyone.

大姑与世长辞了...

11月25日，夜晚，我的大姑出车祸去世了。

11月26日，傍晚六点半，我们到大姑家去见大姑的最后一面。

当我到大姑家时，尸体化妆师正在帮大姑修补面容，让她漂漂亮亮地离开。当我知道大姑离世的消息时，我只是感到难过，但是当我真正的看到大姑时，我的眼泪不听话的掉了下来。我以为我已经接受了大姑永远离开的事实，但要真正的接受并不是一件容易的事，躺在棺材里的，可是与我有血缘关系的大姑啊！

那是我第一次看到伯伯姑姑们哭了，也第一次看到我爸妈掉眼泪，毕竟大姑是他们的大姐。从小到大，大姑为了他们付出了很多，突然间走了，也让人难以接受。婆婆更是难过得一直在哭，我们都很担心她会受不了这个重大的打击。大姑丈倒是很平静，没有哭，但我们都知道，他的心都碎了，他的痛可是比我们任何人都还有深，毕竟应该与他白头偕老的伴侣早一步离开人世。大姑的孩子们，也就是我的表哥表姐们，和他们的丈夫妻子、儿子女儿们，都哭得很伤心，任谁也没想到大姑就这样离开了。

接下来的的几天我都在大姑家里帮忙，不是烧冥纸，就是帮忙折冥纸。当然也有不在大姑家的时候，我、我弟、我妹和两位堂弟到表哥家去上网，因为可以无线上网，我们都把手提电脑带过去，那里都快变成网咖了。

一直到星期天，大姑出殡。在封棺前，我们都去看大姑最后一面，大家都快哭成泪人了。封棺后，举行了一连串的仪式，便前往坟墓场埋葬。大家都怀着依依不舍的心情给大姑祭花，然后离开了。

大姑今年已有六十了，也已经享受了几年清福了，人生中已没有什么遗憾了。我只希望她能好好离开，到另一个世界好好的生活。
