孔明灯




It is also called the Sky Lantern/Kong Ming Lantern. According to the lore, Kong Ming Lanterns were first invented by Zhuge Liang for transmitting the military information.
But as for current usage, Kong Ming Lantern is considered as the Lantern for Blessing whereby people will fly up the lanterns with words of wish or prayer. In fact, these Kong Ming Lanterns are being used for special occasions or celebration such as the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival in Taipei or the Yi Peng celebration in Thailand.

Apparently, Kong Ming lantern is banned in Malaysia but we could still see these lanterns selling on the market. Out of curiosity, my cousin bought a few of these lanterns.

Preparing to "fly up" the lantern




(p/s: For safety purposes, please do not simply fly up these lanterns as they can easily caused fire and hazard to the aircraft.So don't play play with it.)

Best Wishes,

Ohh, it's my beloved grandpa's birthday and also Chinese New Year celebration : )


According to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, my grandpa's birthday falls on the fifth day of Chinese New Year. Thus, each year during the CNY, we will sure celebrate grandpa's birthday together. This year too, we were here for ah gong's birthday :D

At CHONG FATT SEAFOOD GARDEN, Jalan Imbi


And, we were given a VIP room. So huge and comfortable.(**Plus, their service is pretty good)





Firstly, we had "Lou Shang". I'm not sure about the others, but for us "Lou Shang/Yee Shang" plays a very important "role" during the CNY. In fact, it has become our "tradition" to have "Lou Shang" in this special festive season. I don't really know what is the history behind Lou Shang but as far as i know it's symbolizes one's wealth, health and...etc(*Please Google for more).
Also, we have a very unique way of "Lou-Shang" whereby each of us will say out an auspicious words such as 财源滚滚来，心想事成，身体健康，桃花快快来 and etc while we doing the "Lou Shang". Although, it's just a simple "actions"but we seems to have lots of fun and excitement on that. Perhaps, this is what a reunion dinner should have right???

Homecoming


It took me about two hours to reached there. I drive safe and steady because there were these two princes in the car : )

Tampin - my dad's hometown, which located along the of Negeri Sembilan-Malacca border. Whenever we have holidays, we will come here and visit my grandma. In fact, Tampin is a small little town which don't really have much leisure activities and entertainment. As far as i know, there's only one Pizza Hut outlet, one KFC in Tampin and even the hypermarkets/mini-markets are rather small but still Tampin is a good town. Apart from that, they also have these RM 2 shops that sell super lots of nice items. It's our favorite place and i even called them as the mini "Daiso" .

As for the food, well, in Tampin they have this Chinese Noodles called "龙江面 ", the one and only popular local food. It's actually like the Hakka Noodles but the taste is slightly different.


**sorry, my blog is not a halal blog : )

And, I love going back to Tampin visit my grandma, because grandma always pampered us with lots of nice food.




Best!Best!Best!


Of course, not forgetting the "Lou Shang" that we had in Tampin..Lolx ; )



Enjoy,

MPSJ 10km run 2010

Well, I ran for the MPSJ 10km run with my family and I was forced to go by the way : (
Luckily, mom registered my name under "Fun Run" category which is only 3km NOT 10km. But yet, this 3km run is killing me as i had a bad stamina : (
Even my parent were running far ahead than me and they were seated at the finish point steadily while waiting for my arrival. But cool one , I had fun "jogging" together with "Justin Bieber"&"Super Junior" and left HuiWen behind running alone. Hey, I'm fast okay!!
Also, i saw my elder sister on the other track and she still have 7km to go yet I'm almost reaching at the finish point.So, if i were to prepare a wining list for my family, then my mom & dad were at the first place, me-2nd, HuiWen- 3rd and HuiLin- 4th, AiLin- (Tidak hadir)
