Chap Goh Meh In Malacca

The Stadthuys ( The Red Building )

I can't remember exactly how long I've never traveled to Malacca. Probably about 4-5 years? I don't know what's happening to my family but it seems like we are having hardcore local trips this year. This time, I met up with relatives who live just 45 minutes away from Malacca. They've been here tonnes, so they offered us a tour around the city. It was a simple trip, just 2 days 1 night, however it was quite a memorable one. I think it's family bonding that really matters right? To me this trip was more of a foodie trip because we spent most of our time eating in jonkers street. To my surprise, there were many foreigners, more than you could imagine. Way more compared to Japan, I guess this is just the sort of places they like right? Very hectic, very large crowd, and i was barely moving cause there were too many people around, especially in those areas where lion dances and wushu performances were performed. Was even told that one of the performers represented Malaysia in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. All those stuff really brought back the feel of chinese new year. Malacca is one of our historic states i love and treasure. It's great to see how Malacca has developed right now. With new buildings coming up, tourist attractions, hospitals and schools being upgraded. Thank goodness our GPS led us the right way! By the way, I still insists that Japan has the best hot spring ever :3

Chinese New Year In Sarawak

James Brooke, an englishman who ruled Sarawak for quite some time
I just had a very interesting trip in Sarawak. It was my first time to travel to east Malaysia. It was also my first time, in a long time, that I spent my cny going abroad. I can say that I spent the past three days fruitfully by travelling to different places. Being here makes me understand numerous groups of indigenous people more deeply. Sarawak is also known as ' the land of the hornbills ', a very clean and quiet place i'd say. The hotel i stayed in was pretty good and comfortable as well. However it will not be suitable for youngsters to live in Sarawak though, the fact that it's too quiet and a separated population, it's making young clubbers clubbing a distant dream. Phew I'm glad i'm not one of those, so it's alright for me. Sarawak is quite a liveable place actually. Perhaps it's one my places. Food and property prices are also relatively cheaper as well. Malaysia is famously known as a multi–ethnic, multicultural, and multilingual society, it is also something that Malaysians should preserve. By visiting to the cultural villages will definitely improve your knowledge in sejarah, You should really get here because it makes sejarah a lot easier, merely memorizing sejarah would be simply meaningless you see. I'm proud that Sarawak is a part of Malaysia. We should be thankful for our political leaders in the past who took the effort combining this beautiful land with peninsular Malaysia. I encourage malaysians who never been here to come here. Make sure not to mess with the Ibans though! Don't want to see your head in their baruks! Happy chinese new year!

Land of the Rising Sun








Beautiful is the word I would use to describe Hokkaido. The Sceneries are absolutely stunning! STUNNING!!STUNNING!!! Can you imagine the pure mountain air heavy with fog , heavy snow powdery covering the fields and buildings of an amazing nation. I had high feelings with so many positive emotions during the trip. As the pilot started to give an announcement for safe landing and the plane descended on Chitose Airport on an extremely cold and dark afternoon, I began to feel a sense of achievement. Come on,It’s Hokkaido! Since the 311 tsunami occurred in Sendai and Fukushima the prices of tour packages had been lowered and my parents thought that this would be an opportunity to bring the entire family here. The trip covers places such as Otaru, Noboribetsu, Sapporo City and some other places but i can’t remember. It was in total a 6 day trip and I was able to feel what’s it like to be in Japan and of course the beautiful snow. Apparently, a lot of them live a stressful life and have to rely on 3-4 generations to pay off their housing loan debt! However, Japanese are generally very polite and kind people. They have good moral and mostly because they were instilled to have good moral since they were young. Hokkaido is in the northen part of Japan and exports high amount of top quality seafood so obviously, I was privileged to eat all of them. Kidding! It was the only nasty weather of the whole trip, snowing and windy. The ice was still spectacular though. Apart from that, i finally had the guts to run naked infront of many people because their hot springs are like the best all across the world with high amounts of sulphur which is somehow good for health. So it was definitely worth stripping. It was quite challenging when u’re doing it outdoors cause you have to adapt to the sudden change of weather. Just try to picture yourself running out of your house naked when it’s -6 degrees outside .I soon became an onsen addict.Usually when the snow is heavy and the sky is dark, u’ll feel a a bit depressed but it certainly wasn’t the case here.Although Hokkaido was freezing cold,the sun was shining really brightly.As you know,Japan is known as the country of the rising sun. So i wasn’t depressed at all.I walked around Sapporo city and realised just how systematic they are in terms of planning a city,underground trains,safety measures and all that stuff.Hokkaido has the best quality for skiing that attracts skiers from all over the world. Travelling is not merely about playing but it’s also about education.I learnt how put on and take off the skiing equipments and skied like an idiot.It was difficult to even take a picture because it was cold and our gloves were just annoying as hell.As far as i could remember,I lied and said i was a year older to be 18 to experience snow mobile.Felt a lil bit like James Bond. Never estimate young people,i completed the entire journey without getting anyone hurt! Although my finger hurt just a little.I also enjoyed the breathtaking scenery along the ravines.I was so happy.Seafood here is amazing,Ice-creams are amazing here,scenery is amazing,the girls here are AMAZING TOO!!!I saw this stunning cute girl with her mum and little sister returning from a Japanese temple and became moody the whole day.All i could remember is that her mum drives a blue car! Well, girls come and go but PIZZA IS FOREVER!

1911

Chinese government paying respect to Sun
Xinhai Revolution
So i just came back from the cinema watching jackie chan's 100th movie and is having the 'kick' to write about the chinese revolution.There's not even a slightest doubt that China's few thousand years of history is one of the best throughout the whole world.One of favourites is the 1911 Revolution.The reason that triggered the revolution was largely due to a corrupted Qing government, and the fact that the Han Chinese (which comprised 90% of the population) where resentful towards a government dominated by the Manchus (who were an ethnic minority). Besides that, the people were extremely pissed off and frustrated with the government's incapablitiy to stand up and restrain the interventions of Japan particularly the Westerners.The Qing government was borrowing a substantial amount of money from banks in Europe at the people's expense.Worse still, they are using the money againts them.Qing government bought weapons using taxpayers payer money and fought against the rebels that were led by revolutionaries.A large increase in population, people paying high taxes to powerful dictators, people out of work, a country totally out of touch,lots of torturing and depression and most of all, a nation living under a greedy dictator. This civil unrest, encouraged by the revolutionary and political ideas of Sun Yat-sen, who was apparently a chinese doctor, led to a desire to abolish the Qing dynasty and form a republic.In a republic government, there will not be any kings or emperors, and the country will be led by a president together with his ministers in cabinet.Singapore, France , Russia etc are examples of republic country presently.Do you believe that there is democracy in royalties?
