CNY 2012!!!!!!! :)

CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!!!!! :D 

Here's a summary of what happened the 1 week of CNY Hols... :)

2 Sundays ago, after church, my family left for Ipoh in the afternoon. :) There wasn't any jam, thank goodness.

Ipoh was kinda of boring, as usual.. :) Nothing much to do, and we stayed there for 2 nights.. :( The problem is, all my cousins are either all working people, or, their babies, or, their kids. :( Infact, the only cousins I ever talk to are in Australia. Imagine that, how pathetic is that???? That's why I don't usually get excited for CNY. For a simple reason, I don't have anything much to do, no cousins to meet up with, no nothing. :(

Sighs. Ah well, anyway, the 3 days in Ipoh seemed like 1 week. :P I really felt like the stay there wasn't gonna end!!!!!! :P

One highlight in Ipoh though: My nephews never fail to make me laugh. :) They are always so funny, and awesome... they are still young kids, and I love kids, only problem is I can't really communicate with them as they speak chinese, and I'm a banana. :( I really must brush up on my chinese speaking skills.. :) So that, Ipoh won't be so boring,  I can talk to the kids. :) Note: When I say nephews, they are my cousin's sons. :P We call them nephews. :P

Finally Tuesday afternoon, we headed north to Penang...WHEEEE!!!!!!!! I <3 Penang!!!!!! :D

We stayed with my grandparents as we usually do.. :) Penang wasn't so boring, it was quite ok.. :) My mum's side of the family came to visit those few days we were there.....Uncles and Aunties, and Grand Uncles and Grand Aunties all came.. :)

The rest of the time, I was eating, using the computer, watching tv, (not much of comp and tv though) sleeping, listening to the rest talk, etc.. :P

Oh, and of course the PASAR MALAM!!!!!!!! :) I <3 the Pasar Malam infront of my grandparent's condo.. :) It's awesomeee.. :) And it's open everyday.. :) Except maybe 1 day a week I think they are close...not sure about that though. :)

We went to the pasar malam with my two aunties, they are my mum's cousins so that makes them my auntie...kinda of.. :)

It was just the two of them, me and my sis....which was awesome because we could stay there longer.. :) We were there for like 2 HOURS!!!!!!! :) Imagine, other times I will be there only for like half an hour the most because the rest don't wanna wait. But this time since it was only the four of us, we could stay there as long as we liked. :)

And Aunty Cheryl bought me a dress for my birthday!!!!! :) It's a pre-birthday present as my birthday is actually 10 days from now. :)

Another day we went to QUEENSBAY MALL!!!!!! :) Ah Kong wanted to buy something there so the rest of us tagged along...

And on Saturday we left Penang to go back to KL. :( I didn't wanna leave actually.... :(

And looks like, everybody was scared of the report in the Star Paper, concerning a jam on saturday and sunday....because, THERE WASN'T ANY JAM AT ALL for us!!!!!!!!! :) Awesomeee!!!!! :) It took us only FOUR HOURS to reach KL!!!!!!!!! :) Of course my dad sped along the way, but well, it was perfect, so fast we reached home....and the weather was so nice for traveling too!!!!!!! :)

It was an awesome week (:

Traveling

Going to hit the road to Ipoh in about an hour's time. Not looking foward to it. Traveling in the hot sun on a Sunday afternoon after church DOES NOT appeal to me nor does it sound inviting at all!!!!!!! :(

Ah well, hopefully it won't be jammed.. :(

I won't be having internet connection for a few days so, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!! :D God bless!!!!! ;)

Ripples 2012 Kick-Off Poolside Party!!!!!!! :)

Ripples had their very first meeting for 2012 last Saturday!!!!!!!

It wasn't really a youth meeting, it was more of a party... :)

The party was held at Laman Baiduri, Subang Jaya. It's a condominium... :)

The place is SOOOOOO AWESOMEEEEE!!!!!!! Like a resort!!!!!! :) The scenery, the layout, the landscaping especially, was all really tastefully done!!!!!!! :) I wish I lived there!!!!! :(

So, the party was from 4 pm - 8 pm...technically we could go off after 8, but we could stay there until 10 too. :)

 It started off we Uncle Siew Meng giving us some advice and stuff like that, and after that it was GAMES TIME!!!!!! :)

I think we played 3 games????? And then we had food, and after that anybody could do what they want... some went swimming, the rest of us just chilled and talked. :)

I hung out with Lily and Michi, Swen couldn't come because she had tuition....... how sad..... :(

On the whole the party was quite fun, so many new youths, all of them Caleb's friends..... he brought like more than 10 friends!!!!!! :P

Oh, and we have a new Ripples Committee, the old committee resigned, because now they are getting older too, and also they have studies and college, plus, they've been in the committee for so many years, so now it's time to change responsibilities and the new committee consists of the younger youths.. :)

Here's one picture Lily, Michi and I took together.... unfortunately Swen is missing from the pic!!!! :(

Michi, Lily, and Me!!!!! <3
