Jom , let us pi Pesta Pulau Pnang

Pesta Pulau Pinang will be held a month long in the month of December every year.It will be open to the public daily from 6p.m till 11.30p.m.
Both of you wanted to visit the Pesta Pulau Pinang trade fair site very much.
Finaly we went for a visit on 30.12.2008 with Shi Wah.
Can you see that? Three girls enjoying their ice-cream?

The roads were jammed with traffic streaming to the pesta site. It took about 1 hour drive from our house to “Pesta” site.
We reached there around 10p.m. Haiz, lack of parking space.
Entrance charges are lower now at RM3 for an adult and RM1 for a child.
This year, the pesta theme is “Jom Pi Penang”.
It means let’s go to Penang.
This year’s Pesta Pulau Pinang promises to be different from previous years.


More interesting activities planned for it.Dad and mom are looking forward they could inject some freshness into it.
Visitors will have chance to meet famous local celebrities.
We spent sometime visiting the other pavilions and stalls.

Some are selling produce from Indonesia. There were stalls selling clothes, handbags, handphones, household things etc, making it look more like a supermarket than a fair.We also head on to the Euro Fun Park for games and activities catered to people of all ages. The crowds were here.

Three of you at heart couldn’t resist trying out the various rides. Really loved the rides. All had great fun.

Dad tried to catch the movement of the roundabout. What a great shot. The world was in motion. We reached home at 12.30p.m. Three of you love Cotton Candy. Cotton Candy is originally called fairy floss. It is made from floss sugar. Freshly made by machine.
The process first involves the sugar melting into a liquid form that is spun inside of the cotton candy machine. When it finally cools, the sugar changes back from a liquid state to a solid state where it can be collected and served on a stick.

We bought a packet of Cotton Candy to share together.
What a family fun night on 30.12.2008, my girls.

A visit to Commonwealth War Graves Commission at Taiping

We went to visit Commonwealth War Graves Commission at Taiping on 20.3.2010. It located along the way to the foothill of Maxwell Hill.
Could you see that? Its surroundings are very well tended. It was constructed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
Taiping War Cemetery was created after the Second World War for the reception of graves brought from the battlefields.
We never seen this place before. Sister Mei Leng recommended it to us. What a nice surprise. We really hope can find out the history behind this cemetery.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission is responsible for maintaining the graves of members of Commonwealth forces who were killed in service in the two World Wars. All enquiries should be addressed to:Enquiries Section : Commonwealth War Graves Commission, 2 Marlow Road, Maidenhead,Berks, SL6 7DX.

Dad stood smartly in front of the gate.
A tiny little door for visitors to register but there is not possible to keep the cemetery register in this box at all times.
Girls, greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. The highest human exhibition of love that earth has ever seen was this. Christ was about to exhibit this highest type of human love by dying for his friends. He did even more, as Paul shows us in Ro 5:6, he died for his enemies, something that man had never done.

Every tombstone tells a story.
What a lovely peaceful area of Taiping and well worth a visit.

Lydia and Priscilla, Taiping War Cemetery is a major Allied war cemetery in Malaysia. It contains the graves of 826 Allied soldiers of the Commonwealth fighting the Japanese in the "Campaign in Malaya" of December 1941 - February 1942. We were grateful we had the opportunity to learn this valuable history.It was an appropriately historical place. Sister Mei Leng, thanks for your kindness to accompany us to Commonwealth War Graves Commission. We really interested in visiting historical places. 

May they rest in peace, and rise in glory. All suffering and sorrow will be no more. They'll vanish like shadows at heaven's door.

A happy day with Alice in the Wonderland

Are you ready for a trip down the rabbit hole? Yes, ten of us were ready for the trip on 18.3.2010. It's a new tale of an older Alice who goes through the rabbit hole to Wonderland. Six of our students wanted to take a magic journey to Wonderland with Alice.
Children, are you are good fighter and ready to defeat your enemy? Follow well in order and get your weapons ready.
There was lots of laughter and they were chatting happily in the car. We had to deal with noise weapons which really hurted our ears. Children, please be quiet.
We walked around Toys R Us for about 30 minutes. Our lovely children seemed interested in music hammer toy. Dear Priscilla was looking for her birthday gift. Her birthday just around the corner. We spent a fun afternoon here.
We had an opportunity to see new techniques of food processing. The food was great, everything was done in a timely manner.
We decided to take a leisurely walk around Queenbay Mall.
As we were feeling hungry after all the strolling, we went looking for food at Food Market. The pork-free Queens Food Market is open from 10am to 10pm every day.
At Little Wok, there are varieties of food. 30+ fried rice and noodle dishes are served in. Food is served in little stainless steel woks instead of plates and bowls.
Four of you could't wait to enjoy your food. It was a pretty huge portion.
Girls, dad and mom tried out this set of meal which was recommended by the stall owner and it was not too bad.

As you could see, the fried rice was nicely cook as it was really appetizing.
Both of you chose the meal which rice with the mushrooms and sauce poured over and around it. Sound delicious.



Let us share yummy foods together.Little wok fried rice filled their empty stomach to their heart's content.
A fantastical journey with Alice will start soon. All of you coudn't wait to meet with Alice in the wonderland. Lydia and Priscilla, everyday is a gift. A happy life is simply a string of happy moments. Thank God for today. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
