Children Methodist Home Visit 2010

Children Methodist Home Visit was one of the CV listed events for 2010. George Loong came up looking for volunteers to take up the OC post, so I grab it and with no regrets, I enjoyed it. It was half day event. There were around 10 to 15 of us who went there. The objective of the event was to do cleaning in and out of the house. We departed from Campus in the morning and finishes by noon.

Handmade Appreciation Bookmark for Volunteers. =))

Group photos with the children. They came back from school during our lunch break.
After the event, some of us went for 2nd round. Icylicious dessert at Ice City. hehe. It was a good wrap up for the event. Thanks to Jun and Nicholas too who stayed up helping me with the bookmark. Though it wasn't very classy but I was kinda persistent. hehe. Thanks! =D

Mulu Trip 2010

In June 2010, I joined a campus 2 days 1 night trip to Mulu. It was an awesomely awesome 2 thumbs up trip.
Azi, Zimd, Jun and I boarding
We're here!! at the Mini size airport..
Boo!! We caved into limestone Caves. A few caves we went namely Deer Caves, Wind Caves, Langs Cave, Clearwater Cave and some more. All the caves have their own uniqueness and story. It is beautiful and fantastic.
We went for the MetreSSS of Canopy walk too.
Taking a rest. Anso, Jun, Me, Azi, Zimd and Ms.Anita.
We're eating WORM!!! hehe... no la, gummy worms xD Jun got it at the airport.
After all the activities, we waited for the famous bats. We're hoping to see the bats to fly out of the caves in the evening time for their hunt. Unfortunately, it was drizzling, so the bats were not out.. haih.. I guess it means I got to go back to Mulu again sometime.. ;D
A picture of Nike Supporters. Just do it! - Nike. By the way, Anita was attacked by a leeched too.. You can see the scar.

DAY 2
Early in the morning after breakfast, we went for sampan ride.. woohoo~~
I love this ride. The air is clean, the water is refreshing, the scenery is beautiful and the sound of the nature is delighting. I like putting the hand into the cool water too.
On the way to Wind Cave.
Inside the caves are huge and people from all over the world come to Malaysia to see this.
Finally, a long journey of walking and boat ride, we arrive out of a little hidden road and wala.... it was the airport in front of us.. haha.. we were like... what the ... lol... speechless.. and off we go, back to Miri with a great experience brought home.

Mooncake Festival 2009

2009 Mooncake Festival was quite a memorable one. For the pass few year(still schooling) I usually celebrate it with my secondary school friends. The lantern session happens after family dinner. We usually gathers at a friend house at a certain time and we will walk around the neighbourhood with our lanterns. You know la, girl friends can talk anything under the sky anyway any place even if it's whole night. After the long walk, we will have tea and mooncake outside her house, watching the moon.

As for 2009, I celebrated it with my Uni Friends. Believe it or not, Uni people play lanterns too. We were walking around the housing area and it feels great to see different group of friends with their lantern too. Some houses will have BBQ, some will have steamboat, things like that.

Too much talking, let the pictures speaks for itself.
Mooncakes.... Jun and Boon even got some DURIAN mooncakes~ where in the world it started with such mooncakes..

2011 First Post

Okie, let me see where to start. Sorry for the delay of events and that I've been posting some years ago events. I got to get those left out post in this blog log.

Anyway, first of all, I'll like to credit my friends for taking part of the pictures. Thank you. Next, glad to know if there are still people reading, are there? So, Stay tune for the next semester post. haha.. Joking Joking.

I'm having my summer break now. Class is commencing soon on the 28/2. This summer, I hadn't been travelling and hadn't been active like my past holidays but it was still quite meaningful. I was in Bintulu for a month + to do some vacation training. I went to Kuching too for a few days trip. When I was back in Miri, I got to catch up and spend time with my friends and family. Helping around preparing for CNY. Next would be CNY. I could say I spend my 15 days of CNY fully. haha.. Visiting, eating, catching up... Besides, I went to Brunei for a day trip as well.

Basically, my 3 months wasn't really that adventurous but I'm content. :)
And, as we all know (I assume), today is Chap Goh Meh which is the last day of Chinese New Year. We invited some non-Mirian Uni friends over to celebrate together. I heard there is "Pao Gam" too tonight. According to Jeannie, by throwing the Mandarin Oranges in the Lake, it will bring "Tao Hua". lol... how if I throw 2??

So much so for that, enough crap. I'm predicting this semester will be a very different semester. One of the main reason is because my best friend has left for Perth. I'll download my Whatsapp soon. hehe..

I've been thinking a lot about my future during this 3 months. What do I want to achieve and what kind of life do I want in near future. Thus, I'm glad to have this 3 months to slow down my pace and give it a good thought. I wish everyone who is reading this to have a Meaningful and Great 2011 Year and hope I'm not too late to wish everyone Happy Chinese New Year too. hehe..

Ciao~~
