Mid Autumn Festival - Porridge steamboat

Decided to blog a short post about Mid Autumn Festival before heading to bed.

Last few weeks, I was invited by my housemates to celebrate Mid Autumn festival together. It was a simple yet meaningful dinner with Sifu and friends. Luckily my friend has a bigger balcony, if not, this event would be held at my house. Anyhow, I got used to it when most of the events were held in my house. Sometimes, it could be 10 people’s party, other time, it would fit 30 plus people in the house. Never gone quiet before which is a good thing.

Buddha Birth Day

Today is a rainy day. It makes me feel sleepy and lazier on the first day of Uni. *Yawn*

Last weekends, my friends and I volunteered to help out with Buddha Birth Day festival which was held at Southbank. Thanks to Eric, my housemate for helping us to register as a volunteer. Well, now only I realize how Buddhism all my housemates are which is a good thing!

We were in charged on selling candles offering and lanterns. Basically, all I did was making lanterns and promoting those stuffs.

Somehow on the 2nd night, the atmosphere has become like a wet market where I heard someone yelling out “1 dollar for 1 wish, bla bla bla”. LOL

An artist dropped by sketching the GuanYin look. I was amazed by what he drew on them. It looked exactly the same.

Last but not least, tadah! It’s May and I started wondering would I be able to complete all the tasks/events/homework on time? It would be a freaking busy month. Hopefully, I am able to succumb over the time and mental pressure. God bless! see ya Smile

too fast too far

Hey (in a lower tone) … seem to be my common opening dialogue whenever I am starting to talk to my friend/s. feeling a bit Chinese-ish, will use lots of Chinese direct translation sentences nao. Rojak, I likey.

Everyone is talking about CNY. Me too Smile

I am overly-exhausted for this CNY. can’t really say I am busy, I have spent most of the time doing house chores, cooking dinner for my family, meeting up with relatives/old friends, etc. I have the feelings that most of my friends thinking that I am a person who like to run here and there. Personally, hmmm… I prefer to have more time staying at home spending quality time with loved ones. Not excluding the kids either. Few years back, I am a stranger to kids because I have no idea how to handle them. Now, I could say that I am a kid-lover. I have no idea how could I build a quick close relationships with them, but it did happen. I am no more stranger for the kids, and of course I like them heaps.

Kids are too adorable and innocent, no? Open-mouthed smile


Nowadays, I like to use “let’s have a talk” rather than party, drinking, etc. Personally, being able to talk with close friends about your personal stuffs or listening to friends’ stuffs making me feel that yea, it is priceless moment and at the same time, you would want to cherish more on what you have. Today, I chatted with a close friend for awhile and he opened up a topic that i have been avoiding . just a snip of that and i kinda waking up from the dead dream. what a waste i could say. take a deep breath and do what you should do Winking smile

 

I wanna indulge myself into pics world once more. the reality is just not the fantasy that everyone wishes for, anyhow, take what it comes what it goes, that’s life. Call me

 

*self-conflicting* I am not ready to go back yet Sad smile

CNY新年快樂

Miraculously, I am not really sleepy after having a big time cleaning up every corner of my house for a few days continuously. It’s quite tiring especially most of the chores are done by a person. Anyhow, I am satisfied with the cleaner house I have now Smile

 

Today is Chinese New Year, other than doing the same routine over and over every year, I am trying my best to spend more time with my dearest family members, helping them to do chores, guiding them to what they think is best for them and not to forget to have fun with them.

 

We had our reunion dinner with relatives in a restaurant that served delicious food at a reasonable price.

Taipei 2010

On 31st Dec 2009, my friends and I decided to have 2010 countdown at a square beside Taipei 101.

I was sooooo excited at that time because it was my first time counting down New Year at a public area as normally I count 3 2 1 at home. Some more, I have the opportunity to watch celebrity performances for free. Why not happy jek?

 

A few hours before 12am, there were so many ppl waiting for the train. We were forced to squeeze in the train like satin.

IMG_2027

Although there were lots of people, we could still see neat human lines.

 

 IMG_2029

Not to forget to camwhore at that packed situation.

 

IMG_2033

Yea, posing beside the Taipei 101. Too bad the bus has blocked the view.

 

IMG_2045

Met with my friend’s friends who were Taiwanese and one of them was Australian. They guided us the way to the square. But in the end, we were separated as we kept moving forwards into the hugh crowd.

 

p/s: Ignore my fat n round face ><

 

IMG_2039

Personally, I like the above pic very muchie. Don’t know why my sis’ digital camera switched to blur mode automatically ^^

 

IMG_2040

More and more people walking towards the square.

IMG_2043 

 

IMG_2054

Kept walking and walking on the road.

We saw more people standing at the square.

My friends wanted to see the stage clearer, hence we kept moving forwards and everything has to do with pushing. NO, we were not pushing others. But there was always a force of pushing behind us which made us suffered sometimes. You know lar, guys could be harsh sometimes. We were playing “floating” game virtually by floating on the concrete without even have to move our legs. Plus, 2 of us were short, we have to fight for oxygen desperately if not really can faint.

Hmm… I guess this situation would be the same when you are standing to watch a paid concert –.- or better?

Anyhow, I quite like this first experience even though I kinda dislike to attend big crowd event.

IMG_2061

The stage

 

IMG_2062

Everyone was trying to pop their head higher than others so that they can have a better views or getting more oxygen :D

 

IMG_2068

Lee Hom was performing on stage. We danced like a “chicken” movement at the small restricted area. Why? Once you flung your hands, you would hit others. So, chicken dance by flapping your hands towards your body would be sufficient.

 

 

IMG_2074

Lee Hom was playing piano for 你是我的唯一 song.

馬英九 was giving speech.

 

IMG_2082

And alas, FIREWORKS display at this sole building. Didn’t manage to take any good pic of it as the pic turned out to be blur.

And, yeaaaaa, happy JUNE 2010 everyone.

 

Many of my friends are going to Taiwan soon or later. It makes me miss Taiwan very much. I guess I should blog some aspects of it. What about FOOD that you must try?
