CNY IN MaLACCA

most family will go back to their hometown or at least their parent's hometown (like in this case, my dad's hometown is in ipoh, perak) but not my family this year. we went to malacca (which i prefer to type as melaka) instead. my dad didnt want to go back ipoh because he say during cny got no food to eat there. so we went to melaka with my relatives as well. we reached the a famosa condohotel at about 2pm. then me, my sis and cuz just played cards till we get bored. we brought out racquet along but seeing is so windy (btw, there were lots of swallows around. i think the owner of the a famosa rear them) badminton was not a right choice to play. my cousin wanted to play tennis and the country club there aloowed us to rent racquet and court and ball but the prize was not really worth it from my cousin's point of view. so yeah, no tennis. my uncle then suggested us to go visit the cowboy town, a place we always planned to go but end up tak jadi.

so this time me, my sis and my two cousin went to cowboy town at bout 8pm. the adults didnt want to go in cause the prize is not worth it. the total fees for the 4 of us is rm175 (after putting my sis as a child below 12) which only includes entry to the carnival and 4d cinema, anything else have to pay later. the red indian show will not start till 8.30pm so my cousins and my sister played point games. yimei wants to win the large toy (500 points) and my sis only wants the small toy (200 points). among the games there were ring toss, falling cans, basketball, target shoot, darts, roll the ball. the easiet to score is the roll the ball to the hole after going through obstacle course. so they played and played and yilan join in too. i wanted to try the falling cans and target shooting but looks hard and besides, i dont want to spend anything (rm4 for 2-3 tries, depends on the game) until i get my food. my cousins and my sister were so into the games that we almost missed the red indian show which, we actually did. we bought hot dogs and raced to the carnival street and watched the show. it was so packed and not a place for us to sit. we ended up standing behind the seats at the back row. the red indiand show wasnt that special. the red indians men chose 3 girls and a guy from the crowd. they will then have to perform what the red indians perform (which is usally stunts of an animal and shouting and screaming), from there a girl and a guy (which is only one) will be picked as a princess and a warrior. but the way, did i tell u that during the copycat game, the boy was instructed to raised both his hands up high and during that time another red indian strip his shirt from there? well, he got embarrassed. so, after selecting the two, the were told to perform fire tricks which include touching the fire with bare hands and eating the fire. but dont worry, they both come out safe.

next was the fireworks carnival which we got a better sit unless u consider the loud booming voice right behind our ears. the carnival was okey. started with a few girls addressing the walkway then came the fast galloping of horses across the carnival street followed up by about 30 flying doves freed and a parrot riding a unicycle across a wire. then came the clowns, mascots, shaolin master, more dancing girls and some shemales, traditional and modern transportation and the most favourable, animal which includes: horse, chickens, doves, goat, lion, tiger cubs, buffalo, elephant and camel. my sis, cousins and i even got a chance to take picture with the tiger cubs. later was the fireworks which is one of the few most amazing fireworks i had ever seen in my life. the pattern is simple and plain but the size was enormous. especially the last one which it looked as if the fireworks is really gonna fall onto your head. it looked as if it is right infront of our face, even my parents who waited outside saw the fireworks and felt the same.

so yeah, our 4d cinema is not until thirty more minutes, so yimei and my sis continued with their games. the girl incharge was really nice and gave them extra points by 2oo or so. i tried playing the shooting and i only got 3 chances. my first hit, i had no idea where it go and the same goes for the second. without any clue where i fired, i had no idea how to aim (as in isit it too up, too down, too left or too right). so third i just fired like my last two and found my mistake but it was too late to turn. lol. my cousin and my sis got theri prize after yimei spend about rm50 plus and my sis spend about rm20 excluding some donation from yimei. yimei got a stuffed bear which she prefer the hanging displaying monkey and my sis got a small monkey. while wiaitng, yilian bought herself a cup of corn and a bottle of water. she told us to share cos a bottle of water cost her rm3.50. just a bottle of water, no special bottle, no special prize or no special promotion. just a mineral water that cost rm3.50. it maybe cheap to u but to me is too expensive for a measly normal sized water bottle (if u have to know, is the small bottle of mineral water branded aquarius).

so went a buy our pictures with tiger that cost rm21. we then rushed to the 4d cinema which again, almost late but just in time before the show started. i sat at the far end and beside me was yimei. the 4d cinema was previewing the haunted cinema. it wasnt that scary as i dont think is suppose to be but yimei was screaming non stop. maybe she want to get into the mood or she is just scared easily. nothing to descirbe much bout the show. just a few creepy crawlies, constantly chased by zombies and an ugly female ghost and a monster i think.

so after the show we met out parents at the shopping fare. we were quite surprised to see them there. their story was while waiting like dungu outside for us, they noticed a few old folks entered the cowboy town at 10pm and later. my parents and uncles and aunties all laughed at people for being do dumb dumb to enter the cowboy town at such late night knowing is not worth it. until i dont know who noticed that one of the customer was paid with the balance of 4 of rm10 notes. my family begun thinking how cheap could the entry fees as is almost impossible since the cheapest fee is rm29. so my uncle asked and found out the entry fees for non playing or want to pay later is rm10 only. my family told us that they felt so dumb dumb for waiting for us outside like dungu. so anyway, my uncle who is a good buiseness and sales man managed to persuade the ticket counter to give them free entry. i dont know how but the cowboy town just lost rm70.

so we went home. i planned to come again but maybe this time just played the games and eat there only. that way the entry fees caused rm10 only excluding all other payments. i wan to try the shooting again and the mechanical bull.

the next day, my family (which is my parents and my sis) and me went to the sports center. the country club provides normal sports games but the sports center provides other program. among them is target shooting, go kart, mini go kart, archery, horse riding, paintball war and horse walking. i tried archery at first but i pretty sucked at it. but in my opinion i think i improved from very terrible to terrible. i even managed to shoot once in the blue target and another in the yellow target. my dad got a bulls eye but that was another lane. lol. later my sis tried the target shooting which the paintball gun is the same as in cowboy town, almost lah. my sis was okey. she managed to shoot one. my dad is also okey. he shot quite a few. when it was my turn, i learnt from my mistake. my first 5 missed the tiny target by inch but i got it anyway. i then tried two hanging bottles, one top and one bottom, and got both hit at my first attempt. it was near and bigger than the other target so it was easy. after that my sis wants to play the rest.
overall, i kena 5 out of 10. okey for beginner lah so dont complain bout my skills.

then, we go home. i would have prepared the pictures but i didnt bring along ym camera. i will post it as soon as i get the pics from my cousins.

FIRST DAY OF CNY

my first day of cny is here!! tradition is still the same. i go to my grandma hse then to another grandma hse then visit here visit there. so yeah, typical trip. i was on vegetarian 3/4 of the day (on the first day of CNY is said is not good to eat egg or meat to bless or creatures with feelings and emotion). so yeah, no cookies and no meat until 7pm ate curry chicken. nothing really to share actually, just feel like blogging. :)

CHINESE NEW YEAR

Happy Chinese New Year to all!!! Is rumoured to say is not good to say Gong Xi Fa Chai or Gong Hei Fat Choi this year not because of bad luck, but becos of financial crisis Malaysia is going through. After all, gong her fat choi means congratulation in being rich. the problem is that this year, most people are getting poorer so by congratulating that, is not a very good omen.

being in the year of the ox, cow, bull or whatever, supersitious said is not good to wear red as it will atract attention of a ragging bull. ryan told me that bull dont chase after red stuff, they just chased after waving objects so does this still clash with the superstitious? i dont know and honestly, i dont care either mainly becos i got no red shirt this year. :)

so far i have 6 new pair of shirts. one is checkered as a second layer which i wont be wearing (CNY is usually dead hot), i also got a blue formal shirt which also i wont wear till special occasion. other shirts would be blue-black striped colared tshirt, yellow simpson tshirt, bronze snake oozing venom tshirt and some brown shirt. i got one new shorts only. enough for me actually. i also got myself a new pair of canvas shoe and new socks.

hopefully i can put aside my school worries and enjoy CNY to the fullest. most of u know about the zodiac race right? well based on myth, the zodiac race was begun by the jade emperor to help us human during bad luck season and each animal brings new beginning. so far the year of rat which symbolises smart and sly have bring down the economy, but hopefully cow will boost more good luck. is said that the cow symbolises labour and stubborn but also hardworking, dependable and good-nature. so, to get good wishest his year, we have to work hard for it.

btw, did i tell u i was sort of forced to work for 3 hours as a sort of security guard at my father's smalltown shop? well, on friday after school, about 8pm, i was sent to smalltown to help out. apparently one of the part time boys (i think he is 18 this year. his friend who is oso a worker told me) got gastric in the afternoon and smalltown was flooded with last minute shoppers. so i had to help to make sure no one steals anything that is displayed outside the shop. if u were with me, i was grumbling about being prefect even after school. but it was only 3 hours so it was okey. my dad just gave me rm40 for helping out. that is my first ang pow.

so anyways,

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! MAY THE YEAR OF THE OX BRINGS YOU WEALTH, HEALTH AND FULL OF LUCK!!!

P.S: i ve told my mom about ryan's idea (yes i mentioned ur name) on iniviting u guys to my house. my mum said she dont mind on friday afternoon. i seriously dont mind except my hse i really nothing to do.

Thanks to Eng Khim

thanks to eng khim!!!! thank you so much for going for the pibg meeting and take pictures all alone. THANKS AGAIN!

My Bday Present

u guys asked me what i wan for bdays and honestly, i dont know. everything i really want is out of ur budgets like a puppy, play station, a laptop and a few more. so yeah. i told matthew and eng khim i would wan the 39 clues book 2 but i dont think they will be able to find it. i want a thumbdrive either but i will jus asked my parents to get me one. so far.... one thing i want would be virtual fighter 5 pc game. i only have virtual fighter 2 which is like LONG time ago and the graphics is really bad. so one day i got nothing to do online so i went to wikipedia, grabbed a cd by random and i got the cd and check it in the wikipedia. thats where i found out about the game. i use youtube to watch a bit of this and a bit of that and i think i kinda like the game.

the game is said to resembles tekken. but from what i know virtual fighter used characters and fighting stles based on real fighting styles like among international famous, taekwondo, jujutsu, drunken monkey, muoy thai, wrestling and loads more. so far, 20 diffrent fighting styles were based on real fight style. which unlike tekken which the attacks are kinda unreal which in a way, makes the game more likable. virtual fighter is not famous so is really hard to find the cd especially pc games (i dont ps fyi). so if you really want to get me that, good luck! below is the best introduction of the game i could find. is a bit fast flash of the fighters but i dont think u giv a damn anyway.




Characters by order of the video: fighting styles (country based)
Akira Yuki: Baijiquan (China)
Eileen : Monkey Boxing (China)
Jeffrey McWild: Pancratium (Greece)
Jacky Bryant: Jeetkundo (Bruce Lee's invention)
Pai Chan: Mizongyi (China)
Brad Burns: Muoy Thai (Thailand)
Lion Rafale: Praying Mantis Style (China)
Aoi Umenokouji: Aiki-jutsu (Japan)
Shun Di: Drunken Monkey (China)
El Blaze: Mucha Libre (Mexico)
Lau Chan: Koenken (No such thing)
Kage Maru: Jujutsu (Japan)
Goh Hinogami: Judo (Japan)
Vanessa Lewis: Vale Tudo (France)
Lei Fei: Shaolin-ken (China)
Sarah Bryant: Taekwondo (Korea)
Wolf Hawkfield: Wrestling (America)

among the fightning style i like aoi umenokouji the most. she used aiki-jutsu which is the combination of aikido and hapkido. i like her fighting styles cos got a lot of tossing around and that is aiki-jutsu specialty, tossing people around and breaking bones. aoi also have the sweet girl look in the later version but in the earlier version, she look hideous. i didnt get the chance to play her cos she is in virtual fighter 3. below is the video of her tribute of some big fan of the game (aka. i havent play so i am not a big fan yet) u will notice that her clothing are always different as that is one of the virtual fighter 5 specialty where u get to choose the clothings. but aoi's main clothings are usually loose kimonos with super large sleeves.




here is a video of her fighting style being used with another character i like, brad burn, a muoy thai (martial arts from thailand which used bone attacks like knuckles, knees and elbows) user. this is the video which makes me want to play the game. btw, spare the narrator. i dont like it either. is not part of the game just some japanese guy put his voice in.




oh well, enough of boring you up. so thats what i want other than 39 clues novel which i alredy wrote my long sypnopsis in my previous posts. so either these two will make me happy. but as reminder, both of these game and book are still rare in stores. :)
