Dong Zhi Festival


The 'Dong Zhi' (冬至) Festival or Winter Solstice Festival is celebrated on 22 December every year. It is one of the most important festivals celebrated by Chinese around the world during the Dong Zhi solar term when the sunshine is the weakest and the daylight is the shortest.

Tang Yuan is a Chinese food that is traditionally eaten during this Festival. It is made from glutinous rice flour. The flour is mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and it is cooked in boiling water. Eating tang yuan with family signify unity and harmony within the family.

I had my tang yuan as breakfast this morning. My mum boiled the tang yuan in sweet soup made from palm sugar. Sweet and delicious. My mum told me that I am one year older and must be an obedient boy! Haha.

Anyway, wish everyone can have a happy reunion with his/her loved ones. Happy Dong Zhi Festival to ALL!

Friends

F is for faithful and never leaving doubt
R is for reaching and touching your heart
I is for invincible and that's how it should be
E is for endless and, a bond that will never leave
N is for needed, someone you can't live without
D is for dependable and alway's hears your call
S is for simple; it's not a complicated thing
H is for honesty and everything in between
I is for identity, they know you every fault
P is for precious, it's really special after all.

Friendship mean so much to me in my life. It doesn't matter whether you treat me well or bad, I learn a lot from all of you. I become a better, stronger and even a wiser person as I grow. God created different kinds of human beings in this world so that we can learn from each other and the ways on how to deal with them.

My dear friends, I really appreciate your existence in my life. I would like to share 10 friendship quotes with all of you:

A best friend is just like a four leaf clover, hard to find but lucky to have one.

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the lyrics.

Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you do not say.

Friendship is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it but only you can feel its warmth.

Friends are like stars, they come and go, but the ones that stay are the ones that glow.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

The greatest challenge in life is to find someone who knows all your flaws, differences, and mistakes, and yet still sees the best in you.

Friends are like a good bra, supportive, hard to find, and always close to your heart!

A best friend is the best painkiller. The ingredients are simple : sharing and caring.

A great friendship is a long conversation which always seems too short.




If you ever asked me whether we can be friends forever, I would say:

"Even longer" =)

One-day Trip to Malacca

Just reached home at 11pm. It was a weary day but I had a enjoyable trip.

The tour bus picked us up at the petrol station which is near our house. We started the day off with breakfast in Sri Petaling. The 'Kai Wo Pao' (Chicken Nest Bun) was the featured food in the area. After that, we were off to the first destination of the day - Nirvana Memorial Park.

The place was magnificent and the scenery there was simply breathtaking. There were some lands still under development though. If you plan to memorialise your loved ones, I will recommend you to get the product and service from Nirvana. The price is actually quite reasonable but it will be expected to rise in the future.

You can actually buy one 'slot' for yourself even when you are still alive. Well, you don't have to say something like 'touchwood' because death is unpredictable and it is a life process that everyone must go through. So make a choice of where you want to stay (after death) before it is too late. =P

After we had our lunch there, we departed for Malacca. We visited many places there such as Dutch Square, Jonker Street, Cheng Yun Tin Temple, Pearl Shoe Shop, San Shu Gong and etc. After dinner, we went for Malacca river cruise before heading back to Kuala Lumpur.

This place is located at the peak of the mountain

Call Me

I would like to introduce a song by Yuki Tsu (徐怀钰). Although it's a very old song, but the lyrics describe my feeling and I want to dedicate it to someone special. =)


外表上一點都看不出來
你的反應竟和我一樣快
好像對人都不理不睬 
其實你眼睛藏著熱情被我看穿
不能太隨便就答應出來 
意志力要你對我先坦白 
雖然我看著電話發呆
很抱歉有些小小矜持不能更改 
唉呀,不該讓你看見臉紅
這都怪空氣不流通 
別以為我的時間除了害羞沒事做 
停半分鐘在這最美的時候 
我要記住你的笑容 
我的心不會再和誰那麼靠近過

Call me, call me, come come give a call
全世界現在正連線熱烈討論著 
還會有誰比你更適合我,一想到就快樂
call me, call me, come come give a call
就是喜歡你的認真叫我好感動 
這樣下去別人會妒嫉我
快向愛神求救救熱戀的我

外表上一點都看不出來 
你的反應竟和我一樣快
好像對人都不理不睬 
其實你眼睛藏著熱情被我看穿
唉呀,不該告訴你我的夢 
一分析秘密都洩露
你別以為我的世界只有你讓我心動 
停住時間,在這最美的時候
我要記住每個動作 
我的心不會再和誰那麼靠近過

快求救熱戀中的我~

Suicidal


If you are keen in reading newspapers or an active Facebook user, I'm sure you have noticed about the suicidal of Alviss Kong, who has jumped off from the 14th floor of his house after he has posted his 'will' on the Facebook. This act has become a trend as there are few teenagers has started to follow the footstep of Alviss by counting down for their suicidal in the website.

Suicidal is a stupid act and thus I advise all of you do not ever suicide for anything. Don't even think about it. Besides love, there are other things that are more important in your life - family, friends, education and work. It's not easy for us to have come into this world. Always remember that our parents have suffered or worked so hard to raise us until what we are today.

There is always a price to pay for suicidal. Ending your life in this way does not mean you can end all the problems that you face in this world. Suicidal means one has not repaid the obligation of parents, teachers, country and society. Therefore, this act will lead one to hell and you will suffer the pain of repeating the suicidal twice a day, until the day that you actually die!

I'm not joking, but it's up to you whether you wanna believe it or not.

People out there, especially the Facebook users, you know that Facebook is one of the most influential websites in the world. Whatever you share or post will affect the behavior and thinking of others. Stop liking and sharing those pages or links that are related to suicidal. Pay your respect to the deceased and always remind yourself this thing must NOT happen on you!

To those who thought suicidal is a heroic act and wanted to declare the suicidal of Alviss Kong as public holiday, I really have no comment. It is a waste of time for me to think about what is inside your brains.

I really hope all these will end right away.
