The 15th Day of Chinese New Year 2010

Today is the 15th Day of Chinese New Year, it is also the first full moon in the Chinese Calendar. We call it 元宵节.
The Chinese people are celebrating their New year for 15 days. 
1st Day of Chinese New Year :  We will like to wear red colour garments its mean happy and fortune. Some people will abstain meat on this day because they believe that this will ensure long and happy life for them. We can't sweep the floor because the old people believe that the wealth will sweep out from the house :)
2nd Day of Chinese New Year：The son-in law will go back to their mother-in law house to pay respect.
3rd Day ~ 6th Day of  Chinese New Year：Visit relatives and friends freely.
7th Day of Chinese New Year: It is considered the birthday of human being, we would like to have gathering dinner with family or friends at a restaurant.
8th Day of Chinese New Year: Hokkien 福建人 (One of the Chinese Races) will invite their friends to have  a dinner at their house and pray their God at the midnight  for  the wealth and health.
9th Day ~ 14th Days of  Chinese New Year: We like visit friends houses and dinner with them.
15th Days of Chinese New Year 元宵节：This is the first full moon of our Lunar Calendar and also the last day to celebrate the Chinese New Year. We will like to stay at home with our family and have a reunion dinner.
 
This is one of  Malaysia Chinese New Year Must Eat Food 捞鱼生 (Raw Fish Mixer) 
Ingredients: Colourful Crispy snacks, shred carrot, ginger, pear, sesame, plum sauces, oil and slices of raw fish. My grandmother knew that I didn't dare to eat raw fish so she used vege-abalone to replace the raw fish.

 We mixed the ingredients together before we ate. Mixed all the ingredient together  which means we can success for doing everything. I was surprised that this is only Malaysian and Singaporean  are prevalent to eat this food during CNY :)


After the dinner, mum prepared us a dessert - Glutinous rice ball which we also like to eat at 15th of the CNY, this means reunion and fulfillment.

Modelling Clay Angry Birds

Image
Angry Birds is the most addictive game around recently. Now that my trial exam is over, I can have a short break and continue blogging. During the  days of examination, I do some revision during the night and head off to bed early. When I find some time in between the times I do revision, I quickly head off to my room and work out my project. According to the game, these 3 birds are the first 3 avian missiles in the group. As I am saving up clay for further "projects", I only made the small ones fingernail-size. It might look easy but for me the smaller I make it, the more challenging it is to create one. It also consumes a lot of time to make the smaller three. You see, some accident occurred and the yellow bird  eyebrows just didn't look that nice anymore. I am very upset that the yellow bird didn't look like just the way I wanted it. The black bird was rather an easy task because it wasn't too small but the main problem was its crest and beak. For the white b...

Beijing Summer Camp 2012

Image
This year’s Beijing Summer Camp held on the 17 th ~26 th of July in the Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) was the greatest camp I’ve ever been to. When we arrived in the BFSU, it was already midnight so we just checked into our rooms but I was so excited that I didn’t get tired and decided to stay up for a little while longer.  Without noticing that the sun rises earlier in the summer, I stayed up until I thought morning had already begun. Some of my friends woke up too and we were totally restless so we decided to have a walk around the school. As soon as we got out of our dorms, we saw plenty of beautiful places like the canteen, the hall and even the field but there was no one else around as the others were still sleeping while some other campers had still not arrived at the BFSU yet. Well, everyday day was better than the last and I am speechless about this amazing camp.             This camp really taught...

Caving Exploration - Tempurung Cave

Image
28 November 2010     I woke up early this morning deciding to explore Tempurung Cave together with Aunty Ebbie's family and friends alongside with Le Chi's family. There was a total of 23 people in our group. We took about two and a half hours drive there as it was a long way away from our homes. We arrived at Tempurung Cave (located at  Perak, Land Of Grace) at nine thirty in the morning.  The entrance fee for the Grand Tour was  RM 22 per adult and RM11 per child. When we arrived we took a look at the map and  it looked  something like this ........ The Grand Tour(Package 4) had four compartments and our tour took three and a half hours and we saw lots of cave formations that  we shouldn't miss but we didn't get to capture many pictures about them as our  tour guide was a bit too fast.  First, we are told to walk on the platform and stairs  to explore the cave's first compartment. This compartment is filled with l...
