Express

Hi all. How's your weekend going so far? As for me, I'll be at home. Last week was quite hectic and tiring. Stayed back in school almost everyday as the extra curriculum has started and the Sports' Day is drawing nearer.

I'm bored. the weather is extremely hot. Not just out there, even in the house I could feel the heat too, thus giving zero thought of wasting the electricity and switch on the air-condition immediately. The 'awesome' weather makes my every-day-life so miserable, living everyday with my hands and legs so sweaty. I can't stand it anymore, seriously. I feel so helpless in my school everyday, I can't handle all paper works properly and not able to write like a normal person. The insufficient number of fans in the classroom of SMI definitly worsen everything. Back then, I have no issue with my illness as INTI has air-conditions everywhere.

Okay, I will stop my dissatisfaction / criticism / grieve / annoyance here.

More to come. LOL

And right now I have the urge to update something on my blog, which is something very backdated. It befell on the days before the intake of From 6 in SMI.

Belle, Jun, Lynn and I had Sushi Zanmai's @ Sunway Pyramid.

Here's the food that we had.

Darling mouthwatering Japanese cuisine.

Fireworks @ Putrajaya

30.03.2013
Everybody's eyes were bright and brilliant with excitement.

The tip of their fingers glued to the button located on top of their cameras,

anticipating the colorful sparkles in the air

and all well-prepared to click, click and click when the fireworks show begins

to freeze them in time to make a beautiful picture.

It was the 5th Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2013!

Got my hands shooting fireworks for the first time,

big thanks to Ken!

Qing Ming Festival @ Sam Poh Tong Cave Temple Ipoh

23.03.2013

Qing Ming Festival is when Chinese people visit the graves or burial grounds of their ancestors.

But instead, my family and I visit Sam Poh Tong, a temple located in Ipoh, where my grandparents' ashes were placed.

Sam Poh Tong is Ipoh's most recognizable cave temple,

nestled between the limestone hills of Gunung Rapat quite near Jalan Gopeng road.

Its name means 'Cave of Triple Gems', in reference to a core Buddhist meditation technique.

My papa, mama brother and I arrive here early in the morning.

The sun has not rise, senior citizen gets ready to make some money.

A tiled bridge built purely for aesthetic purposes leads to the cave temple and garden from the entrance.

In the middle of the picture, you can merely see an ancient gate right?

It's engraved with traditional Chinese arches and dragon motifs.

And that's the entrance into Sam Poh Tong Cave Temple. =)

This blue building is where the ashes are kept.

Usually, the whole place will be very smoky on Qing Ming Festival.

We escaped it because we went there before the actual day.

 If not, my eyes will be burning and hands will be sweating like water pipe!

Papa buys vegetarian food that my grandparents love and offer some tea, wine and flowers.

Mama says that we 'invite' the 'neighbors' by burning the joss sticks

and place them in every rectangle-shaped compartment.

Then, we head over to the area called - Burning For The Dead Only.

Traditionally, people  'send' things to their ancestors by burning.

Well, I think that's all. It's not a very detailed post about my Qing Ming Festival.
But if you are interested, you can visit kenwooi.com 's Qing Ming Festival,
which is quite similar to mine! =)

Smiling Buddha @ Kek Look Tong Cave Temple

Actually I'm on could nine when my papa offered to bring us out on CNY day 3.

Be it a cave, a temple, or even the most dirtiest and ugliest place on earth.

I would be glad to be able to follow.

Because the chances are so rare!

unless if I'm lazy then I would rather stay home. hehe.

My Hamster Family

 Hammie, Sammie, Immble, Kimble, Nibble, Pibble, Yebble.

All my 7 little hamsters.

Delightful and frolicsome.

Precious!

You always woke up to the voice of mine, standing up on two legs to see where am I.

Hearing to click sound of the cage and you knew you will be carried.

Such a flurry ball of a fuzz.

So tiny and sweet.

You kicked my hand with the sharp end of your nails.

Struggled to wake up whenever I turn you turtle.

Sometimes you even bit me with your little tiny gold and yellow rabbit teeth.

Snapped my finger on your nose and you knew you were wrong.

I loved bringing you walk walk around in the house but naughty you always were.

Jumped off from my hand and there you go on the floor with a 'pap' sound,

and all I hope is that your little bone was strong enough.

You fall asleep on my hand at times.

So stiff my hand like a rock,

for fear that you will wake up,

and that invaluable moment ended.

I always loved to watch all of you,

Running in the wheel as if it were a race.

Nuts and Fruits.

Wait! Not just that,

You even loved steel!

Introducing all my 7 hamsters:

He is Hammie, the papa.

She is Sammie, the mama.

She is baby Immble.

She is baby Kimble.

He is baby Nibble.

He is baby Pibble.

He is baby Yebble.

You always make me smile.
And that alone,
Makes it worthwhile.

This is a special friendship,
For it lasts a lifetime,
Until away you slip,
Into a final dream.

Colorful Elastics

What's this?

It's the elastics used for orthodontic treatment.

I have turned them into something beautiful right?

#justforfun! =)

Teddybaby

Hello everybody!

In case you don't know, I had 3 dogs!

Maymay. Dhurcy. Teddybaby.

This is Teddybaby!

Cute or not? ^^

Teddybaby was brought home by my sister from a vet 4 years ago when he was a baby..

He is born handicapped.

He walks with his 2 front legs and drags the other 2 hind legs.

Despite all this, he is still energetic like all the other normal dogs.

He makes bear bear sound when he plays.

Bite clothes when he sees one hanging down that he can reaches.

Runs to you when you are back home.

Splashes water at you with his strong and vigorous tail.

and many many more lah!

But there's one thing he can't do.

It's is the jump-and-catch-the-food!

He's the only one to guard the house now

after my little Dhurcy passed away and my Maymay has hearing problem.

With his alertness, my house is always safe!

Never try to enter my house,

or else you'll be sent to the dusty death!

haha! =)

Fishes @ Sapi Island, Sabah

Be mesmerized by the colorful fishes
transparent by the crystal clear blue sea
in Sapi Island!

Smiley Cloud

Smile more often!

It may causes a few wrinkles, at the very least, but then so does frowning.

Look! Even the clouds in the sky is also smiling! =)

This picture was captured months ago when I was on my way to Sabah.

Cactus

I used to buy a myriad of cactus plants whenever I pay Cameron Highlands a visit.

But I guess I don't have green fingers!

They died!

Now, this is the only cactus surviving with me here in Ipoh! =)

My Precious Hamsters

One... two... three... 

My excitement accelerates for every added number.

They are tiny in size and are in blood-red colour.

Do you know what am I counting?

It's Hammie and Sammie's babies! 

If you are wondering who's the papa and mama,

World Hello Day

This little orange crabby came and say "Hello" to me

while the others 'ran away' from me.

Such a brave crabby!

One-eyed-crab?

Sunset Garden

I woke up to the sound of an intense storm moved through,

bringing with it sheets of rain, dazzling flashes of lightning,

and thunder so powerful I could almost felt it thumped against my chest.

However, we were ecstatic to have back the clear and sunny weather

after a few hours and went to catch a whiff of the outdoor smells.

We walked and walked and walked and saw the Sunset Garden signboard.

And of course, we continue walked and walked and walked in!

Sunset Garden was everything that I dreamed it would be.

Beautiful, bucolic, lazy and so green!
