Happy Chinese New Year!! :)

Haha! I thought it might be little late to post this up since it's already 4 DAYS passed since the 1st day of Chinese New Year. But anyway,

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

To you all...... XD

Anyway, as usual from last year. This year my reunion dinner with my family is in Miri. Not like the years before where I had mine at Sibu. Well it's because both of my grandparents passed away last year, so we don't have mass gathering with relatives this year. :/ 

The reunion dinner I had this year, although it's quite simple and plain BUT I still like it no matter how because I appreciate the chance that God have given me to be able to stay together with my family throughout these years. Below are some pictures of the reunion dinner. Errr, sorry about my stupid and immature face expressions yah....Just acting stupid. :x

Photo taken before the actual dinner whereby my sister is not in it.

So, I've decided to........

CAMWHORE!!!! LOL.....Failed so bad with my face expression. =.=

HAHA! So as you can see, we're having simple steamboat. Mum said it's a good idea because she doesn't have to cook so much dishes :D 

Anyway, enjoyed the fireworks show in the midnight and I've always, always, always miss Sibu's fireworks show. It's much more grand and more variety of it to be enjoyed. Oh well, I guess I have to wait until next year's then. So sad........

Then on the first day of Chinese New Year, went to church for mass and wala, off we go to Sibu. ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHINESE NEW YEAR. :O 6 hours of bumpy ride going to Sibu. Arrived at Sibu at 7pm sharp and headed directly to my aunt's house where all my aunts and uncles gathered to have a mass gathering, together with my handsome-handsome and pretty-pretty de cousins. Yay :D

Woohoo :D Great times :)

  

Well, this is just some of my cousins. Most of them who are staying in Kuching didn't come back this year. Haih....but still we all enjoyed ourselves :D My dad and mum literally talked with my aunts and uncles until like 1 or 2am, drinking XO and wine :O

So we all ended up either drunk or fell asleep on the couch

And we all ended up waking quite late the next day :/ But still energetic to COLLECT SOME ANGPAUS after cleaning up and got dressed! 

OFF WE GO YEAH!

Went around my aunts house throughout the day, went to Bintangor around 3pm to visit my 3rd aunt. Went to my uncle's house at night. Ate a lot of junk food, drank a lot of soft drinks, wines and beers. OMG It's so unhealthy but who cares, it's Chinese New Year man! 

Hmm, that's pretty much for my Chinese New Year so far. Actually I could go house visiting with my friends yesterday but I was still on my way back from Sibu but I couldn't :( Felt so bad. But anyway, although it might sounded a little bit boring for you but that's my Chinese New Year so far :D It doesn't really matter how much you've collected for your angpaus but what matters is your family and relatives. So I pretty much enjoyed myself. 

That's all from me 

Thank you 

You're always in my mind.

Things that I do when my computer is away

Well, not that I don't want to update my blog for so long. It's because my computer broke down at the beginning of December till now. Almost 20 days without it. Suffering :O I suppose that 20 days without computer is sort of a test for my LEVEL OF ADDICTION to computer aye? Indeed it's more worse than drug addiction but heck, I STILL SURVIVED *nahhh, I cheated*.

December is pretty much like a PREPARATION period for me to get ready for school next year. Why? Because I almost everyday go to school to work with the Orientation Program for next year's new students. Damn! But since there's no computer for me, so I gladly accepted it. In fact, I want MORE! Strange.......
Other than those school stuffs, I have to also manage those Red Crescent first aid duty throughout the whole holiday, especially those football competitions. Nothing special EXCEPT for the Miri Christmas Parade duty. It was whole lots of fun plus IT'S RAINING.

Hanging out with friends for 2 BBQs in last 2 weeks. Parkson, parkson parkson everytime. Celebrated Priscilla's birthday at Parkson again last Monday. Other than those activities, I guess I just "hang out" at home :O It's boring, I know I know..........So these are what I do just to kill time at home.

#1 : Online............with my Sony Bravia TV............and it ain't easy :/

You actually have to type with the remote like a mobile phone or something. Down side of using this? People don't actually know HARD it is for me to fast reply them when chatting or discussing...Grrrr......

Sometimes, what pisses me off even more is when I got this message.

Always happened in the middle of everything. And you will like "WHY YOU LIKE THIS???!!!!" Really darn annoying sometimes. So have to resort to mobile web most of the time, like for Twitter and Facebook for faster loading.

Much more smoother and no worries. But one thing is that there's NO privacy. Imagine you parents can see what you type and see when you're surfing Facebook and Twitter.


#2 : Playing with my guitar all day LONG......I mean really LONG.

Some really cheapo style of playing a classical  XD.........
LONG means I played it over and over and over and over again those notes and scales until it hurts my fingers so bad. :O Played some chords and songs. At least better than nothing.

#3 : Folding stars.

This is like for the ULTIMATE BORED time.......Started way before my computer broke down. Just as a way of killing time. Drove me nuts sometimes folding it because I thought I've folded many but turned out only a few.......Hmmm.....


#4 : Playing with my fearsome cat.....TROLOL :D

Which always either doesn't give a damn about me, or simply will just bite me. Bad cat. :O


#5 : Exercise? More like only eat less.

Been only walking around my neighbourhood just to hope to get off some weight. And eat less too. Heck, yesterday I went shopping with my parents to buy some new clothes for Chinese New Year and I've found out that my waist is now 30, compared to what it used to be, 32.........That's what quite freaked me out. I guess my school trousers won't gonna fit me anymore.....NEED BELT!


#6 : Go for some little "vacation"

So not a vacation to me. Went to Sibu this week to attend a wedding dinner of my cousins I would say......My mum told me, he had to call me UNCLE if according to the Chinese family hierarchy. Wut the.......Come on, I'm the one younger here.
The following day, followed my dad to Sri Aman for some revisit of the Unknown.  Didn't quite reach that cool mountain top again. And all those used-to-be-crystal-clear rivers are all gone. Sad. Gone back to Sibu that evening. Dad planned a heroic act, to drive directly from Sri Aman back to Miri, but cancelled. :D


Pretty much that's what I've did so far for this December holiday. Christmas Eve's today. Woohoo :D But that only means one thing. Church's mass tonight is at MIDNIGHT 12. Then tomorrow morning, it's 7am Sunday mass again. Oh man, it only means I'm going to "fish"(if you get what I mean) in either of the mass. Or maybe both. :O But gonna get energetic for both masses because I'm in the choir, singing all sorts of Christmas Songs :D Can't wait :P

Haha that's all from me for now. Thanks for reading this, errr.....post.

See you again......

Trip to Niah National Park

It's really has been a while since the last time I've updated my blog. Most of my friends who were actively blogging before, all are dying down or.......perhaps DEAD. :/

Nevermind then, I've found back my passion to restart blogging again since surfing the Internet and Facebook are getting more and mroe boring, day by day. So to start off, today I've just went to Niah National Park for my school's Orientation trip. Don't know why they choose Niah Cave but better than going to Borneo Rainforest Resort which cost a BOMB.

Anyway, I arrived at school around 6.55am. Thought I was getting late because I was told that the bus left at 7am sharp. Who knows? There's actually some people later than me. Nevermind. Straight head for the staff room to help Jane transfer some 3K files for the teachers. Saw a lot of SPM students banging their head into the Chemistry reference book :D

The bus did left around 7am. Bumpy ride using the Coastal "Highway". Butt hurt :( Chit-chat all the way with my friends (Kelvin, Kong Lek, Sieh Lung). Don't know why but I feel like this year's Form 3 people are such quiet, not as 'high' as my year. What they do in bus? Sleep =.=

Arrived at the National Park around 9am I suppose? Mr Effendi quickly went to register and buy the tickets for 25 of us. Not that as much as last year though. Ahh, long talk cut short <------ Direct chinese translation, I'll just use some of my pictures to do the talkings (Some are quite blurry though)

Arrived at National Park. First task for the AJK's, create 2 groups. Boy and girl...... Looking good there but.........

Still not yet finishing the first task........*2 minutes passed*

Finally, after some lecture from Mr Effendi, they are able to line up properly. WHY YOU LIKE THIS????!!!!

Then after they all had their piss and maybe poo in the toilet, we are ready to go. But one major problem is that they all don't know that they need to bring TORCHLIGHTS. Omg.....But whatever, follow the flow. Now it's off to the jetty to cross to the other side. 

Walking towards the jetty. Everyone still feeling sloppy and lazy :/

 Boarding the boat :D Wobble wobble :P

Look at all those EXCITED and ENERGISED faces. Different from what had been seen few minutes ago..... :D

My turn to board the board......Some happy, got one got crazy because seeing some Caucasians *duuh....*

After all had got across the jetty, we all regrouped and recounted again our committees. Well, just in case : x Then it's GO TIME :D

Heading into the trail....Some 4km journey until the Cave :O

 Although the journey is long, but it's CHIT CHAT and taking photo ALL THE WAY :D 

Rest at a junction between the trail going to Cave and Longhouse.....Recharge and on we GO! 

After going through the Trader's Cave. LET'S TAKE A GROUP PHOTO :D 

Then it's just a short distance walk from the Trader's Cave to the Great Cave. Upon reaching, there's something very strong..............something........like..........smell of droppings??? :O

 At the mouth of the Cave :P

 Everyone is terrified with the SMELL :O 

Scene around the mouth of the cave? Not sure LOL! 

Eventually everyone is numbed to the HORRIBLE smell. Then Mr Effendi gathered us at a house and had a group photo taken. Too bad my camera wasn't in there, so not group photo for me :/ Maybe I'll just wait for Vanessa to post up her photos in Facebook.

Rest for a while again............before entering the cave. Torchlights ready? Some yes, mostly no. Sad case. Luckily Mr Effendi got bring some headlights. Brighter than mine =.=

 Off we go, climbing those slippery stairs

 Some cave-mouth shots.

Did I mention that those entire stairs and wooden floors inside the cave were and still ARE stained with bats' and birds' poos? :O Somemore there's water droplets from the ceiling of the cave. WHAT? Droppings + Water + Slippery? Perfect combination for slipping off and have your ARSE stained with WATERY POO :P So safety first............

Go around the Great Cave and then we head of for Painting Cave.

Some of the scene when on the way to Painting Cave, which we have to pass through Gan Kira if not mistaken......

Out of Gan Kira, before going to Painting Cave..

Going to Painting Cave which took another 10 minutes journey and some hell of a stairs climbing. 

But to my disappointment, there's really nothing to see on the wall of the cave itself. Those paintings are almost gone. Just only some pictures at the signboard which was taken in 1987. My teachers said it's mainly because of vandalism that destroys the wall painting. :/

Heading back towards the Great Cave again after having a few snacks and drinks.

Some other pictures taken.........

"Digi"man photo :D 

"Digi"man collaboration with "Hotlink" man 

Got some in-motion feeling about this photo 

 TEO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE????? OMG Seriously, he's doing his little "business" THERE :O

 "Kwong Ying" Uncle with Trolls.

"Kwong Ying" Uncle with his 'thousand hands'

I guess that's all about the trip Niah Cave. Not much detail to talk about during the period we walked out of the National Park EXCEPT it's raining HEAVILY and I nearly fell off the stairs. Slippery.

Bumpy ride back to Miri again and it's time to get a rest for everyone. Pretty much enjoyed everything about today :D

That's all for now

Till then.
