Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Happy Chinese New Year I wish to you again! I hope you enjoyed your Chinese New Year holiday that you had last week. I am going to continue my previous blog.


I had done a lot of visiting on Chinese New Year. Too much that I have lost count. I became very tired from all that visiting. Although I am tired, I am very happy because I received a lot of ang pow/hong pow or also known as red packet.


On Wednesday, my mother decided to bring us to the Terengganu Palace(Istana Badariah) where my mother used to live at when she was young. We were only able to go in with the help of my aunt, who has a 'pass' to go in. My aunt has a 'pass' because she works for the ex-queen(I think that my aunt is SO lucky).


We went to the place that my mother lived, which is this small house. It might seem that her house would be grand, but no. My grandmother was poor and used to work in the palace last time. They had this really small house, with only one bedroom and toilet. It was nice to finally see the house with my own eyes after hearing all my mother's stories. It was very satisfying!

I am going to put in a few pictures:


This is a shot we took before we went to Istana Badariah. Let's just say that we are playing a fool.

I will put in the photos at Istana Badariah next time! I have to go now! Bye...

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year to you all! I hope you are having a WONDERFUL holiday.

Early this week, we standard 6's had an examination, Intervensi 2. I am happy that I got an A for BM Pemahaman because I am actually really bad at it. Although I had an A for BM Pemahaman, I had a B for Science, which is really frustrating. My mother told me that I should not only focus on BM but also focus on my Science. I will study harder next time!

After school on Friday(12th), my family and I travelled to Kuantan, Pahang and stayed at Swiss Garden Resort. We had fun at the seaside because the beach at Kuantan is really lovely. At night, we enjoyed the seafood at a restaurant. The price is very reasonable and the food can be described in just one word; DELICIOUS!

The next day(Saturday), we travelled to Kuala Terengganu to visit our relatives there. Before leaving Kuantan, we took our breakfast at this certain restaurant near our hotel. My family and I ordered a 'roti canai' each. My cousin, Carlyn who was following us back to Terengganu, ordered a 'murtabak' for herself. It was very big and Carlyn could not finish it, so I decided to take a bite because I have never eaten 'murtabak' before. It turned out with me finishing the leftover 'murtabak' because it was just too nice to resist. I will never forget how it tastes like. YUM!

Both my parents' families are in Terengganu, so we visited most of them. In the evening, everyone of my relatives(mother's side) went to Permai Inn Hotel to celebrate my grandmother's 90th birthday. My aunt had to book two LONG tables because there were too many relatives. While dining, there was this competition for three hampers(eldest father, eldest mother, table with most diners). One of my uncles won the 'eldest father' hamper. My grandmother won the 'eldest mother' hamper. And ofcourse the 'table with most diners' was also won by us.We had a lovely time.

Now I will end this post because I have nothing else to write. Today(Sunday) we will all got visiting people's home. Bye!

That's all. Bye!
