Gong Xi Fa Cai!

I wish to all my Chinese friends and the non-Chinese ones as well because we are Orang Malaysia! Let's hope for the 1Malaysia spirit to kick off this Chinese New Year!

 

Once I remember, I along with my classmates we went to a Chinese friend's house, her name was Leow Meng Choo. It's been quite some time since I've seen her. Anyway that day, we went to her house and her mother served us some food and drink, I couldn't eat much of it as I am a vegetarian. so I warmly received the drink. After which we all gathered with her cousins and played games, I couldn't undersand most of the words coming out of their mouths but they received us very well, and we had a fun filled day.

We even played with lantern that night, My mom bought me a lantern shapped of a fish and for my sister, I think it was a snake, I'm not quite sure, I forgot a lot because it was so long ago. My dad bought a lot of oranges and even our neighbours handed us boxes of oranges.

Before leaving, Meng Choo took us to meet her grandmother, who was on her wheelchair, we greeted her and she handed us each Ang pows! each containing, I forgot the sum. Well, the thought that counts! right!

The whole day was so nice, it was nice to actually celebrate a festival, which was not even in your tradision, yet feel the overwhelming urge to celebrate it!

I hope Chinese New Year is a day, you all have fun as well, Let's face it, Chinese New Year is the time of  year you get to eat as much of oranges as you desire and get the chance to increase your savings.

Hope this Chinese New Year brings you lot's of shining lucks, wealth in abundance, never -ending happiness, and plenty of smiles to last forever!

GONG XI FA CAI!

Thaipusam

Thaipusam this year, was totally different for me than any years before. I , along with my sister went to the temple with one of my classmate, Rani who happens to be one of my best friends as well and her family. Few of my friends were carrying the milk offering, and I saw different kinds of Kavadi, and also the dance they do while carrying the Kavadis. I hung around my friends, all were dressed very beautifully! and spend the day roaming inside and outside the temple watching everything that the priests and people doing. After some while my friend's mother left us by ourselves. We countinued watching all the offering being brought from another temple and left the place at around 2 o'clock and walked all the way to where the bus would stop and took the bus home. It was a nice experince, and having it experienced with my sister and my friends was just awesome.

17 and young

5 January - My 17th Birthday! Can't believe I'm 17, Wow! life must be going on a rollercoaster. Anyway, the whole day was a blue sky to me, all my friends wished me, usually the guys would forgot, but this year it was different! Love you all! My mom didn't make cake as she usually does, but it's okay it just means I'll get the cake another day. I got a message from my aunt whose in India, and it read;

" Dear moon, this message comes to wish you a very happy birthday.may all good luck be on your path. "

I had some great time with friends and family. Thank God for giving me everything He has given me for the past seveteen years.

iHeart?

How come every school year starts and ends the same ? It starts with everyone coming on the first day, trying to have others forget who they were last year. And at the end of it all, you end up being another person, you want to change ? You start the year claiming it will be drama free, you'll make honor roll and no one will see you cry. In reality there's a new problem everyday, you get a few C's and your GPA drops to 2.5 and when things really get hard, you end up breaking down in the hallway. How come we all try so hard to impress one another when we are more concerned with how we look, and we're too insecure to notice ? Doesn't anyone think everyone else is too busy to look at him or her because they are constanly pulling out their compacts looking at their thick eyeliner ?

2011-

2011 - New Year's Day was as normal. In my family we don't go Yahoo!! over new years. It has been like this for years, if I'm not mistaken.

I don't know about the others but this year is the last year of my schooling years and also a very important year for me. I have SPM! It's like now or never, whatever I do this year is what I'm going to bring with me even after I leave school. So better put my best foot forward. =D

Goodbye 2010 & Hello 2011!
