Gua Tempurung

My trip to Gua Tempurung in Gopeng, Perak was a awesome experience!

First we walked up steps ( 1016 steps to be exact) . Walking up the steps was tiring but looking at God's beautiful creation was super!! There were a few lights on the way as we walked up the steps, looking at the beautiful walls that made me feel so small. After finishing walking up the 1016 steps, we all slipped out of the railing s and walked a bit more. soon i found myself sliding down the soil, making my blue pants all brown and yellow. yuck! i slid down behind dad following his footsteps so i would not fall.

When half the time was done exploring the cave, the guide took us down a shallow stream to a sunny place just outside the cave. We stood in the water enjoying the coolness of it. When Uncle James started to skip stones, Cher Cher and I Looked around the riverbed for flat stones for him to skip. While we were doing that, dad discovered some sticky mud from his and ee ee's shoes. He threw it at the cave wall and it looked like a bat's poo poo!!!! =)
It looked fun. So Chrisa and I found more sticky mud and threw it to the wall too. i found a BIG blob of it. so my and Chrisa broke half to share. I broke my half into a quarter. One of them, i threw on the wall. The other, following dad, threw it on the roof of the cave.
Soon the guide said to continue the next half of the cave adventure( as i call it! =) )
As everyone was heading towards the cave again, i looked back to see if my blob of mud would fall on anybody's head....Too bad it didn't after all!!

The next half we had to go into water. We walked along the stream, carefully walking so that we would not fall in the stream. As we walked on, the roof of the cave became lower and lower.
Soon all of us was crawling on our tummies in the water. that was very fun!!!!!
But once i bumped my head on a stalactite. Ouch! =) After a few times of crawling on our tummies, we were done with our adventure.

The guide went away and left us near the exit, with the stream rushing strong on us. it felt SO good sitting there.... i felt like i was sitting in a message chair. just that it was filled up with water!! i felt so good!

When everyone was going, i was the last one. we were all holding our shoe, for we felt better barefoot. it was more cooling for our feet. =) When we were almost going up the stairs to dry land, i decided to wear my shoes back on. but as i was going to it slipped out of my hand leaving me with only one shoe. I tried chasing after it but i was always one step behind. then suddenly i tripped over a rock. then i managed to grab my shoe. ah...at last! But when i tried getting up, i was stuck fast down, because the water was rushing at me and a rock at my right hip was blocking me from getting up! With a heave i soon sat up and began to trail behind Dad, ee ee, and Cher Cher who all was bursting with laughter....

That day was super i tell you,
especially when God has made the creative cave for all mankind to enjoy! =)

Aussie Wedding

Saturday, the 5th of December 2009.

My sisters and I walked up a hill in the Australian botanical Garden the place of the wedding. Peggn Cher Cher and Hau Wei ko ko were having Garden wedding.

Chrisa was the bubble girl and Cher Cher and i were dancing for the wedding. People was everywhere getting ready for the bride to arrive. Three of us stood eating purple iced cookies watching people running here and there. It was a very hot afternoon!

Soon the bridal party arrived all in purple.Mum helped chrisa to them and when everyone was seated the music started. Chrisa walked down aisle the blowing bubbles in the air. Followed by the three brides maids and the maid of honour. Then finally the bride herself, in a white dress with sparkly beads and a smile.

Soon the bride and groom exchanged rinds and Cher Cher and i danced a short dance. Then the wedding was over.People took photos with them. And until everyone did it was time to go to dinner.

"Ahhhhhhhh....I' starving!!" =)

Bridal Shower

Peggen Cher Cher's Bridal Shower in Hui Li Cher Cher's House was a feast! There was a long table filled with platters of food. There was spinach puffs, egg sandwiches, tuna sandwiches, chocolate cake, cheese cake, and mini pizzas. Cream puffs, Carrots and dip, Chocolate Mousse for desert. i probaly forgot something but anyway there was a lot of food! After everyone ate, all of us went outside and grouped up in fours,...then one person would be dressed up in tissue paper as a bride then Peggen Cher Cher would choose the winner of the tissue paper "brides"

We did some dancing and enjoyed ourselves.....time to go shopping for chrisa's purple flowers. and that was the end of the bridal shower.

What a nice sur-price

Shopping at DFO for cotton on kids tank tops.

We entered the shop hoping or good prices just like the last time we came. We looked around the shop, flipping through the racks of clothes. Soon I found a light pink tank top at the price of $2.50. Great! Thinking, even though we got the tank tops two years ago at $2, it was only 50 cents difference.

( Now, here's the awesome part...=) )

After mum paid for the items, she looked at the receipt...then only we realized that my tank top was only $1.25!! When we went home, we were talking about the sale on my tank top. Mum said that my tank top was actually $9.95. Then it went on sale for $7.95. Then $5.00 to $2.50, now $1.25.....wow! God really answers my prayers of cheap cotton on clothes....=)

Chinese & German

Cher Cher & I were going to Esther's school excursion. we were riding the train to the city. then going to China town. The excursion was at the Chinese museum.

After the train ride we walked to the entrance of the Chinese museum. There were some big rocks there. We sat down for our morning tea. Some stood in groups, some students sat on rocks and short brick walls about 1 and a 1/2 feet tall. the students took out apples, sandwiches, chips, cookies out of their bag to eat.

Soon, the teacher called morning tea over. we walked in the museum and met our guide for the day. she took us to the basement where she told us all about the Chinese, being poor, came to Australia to be gold miners. she told us about traveling there. we could even walk in a fake boat where then it would shake a bit like it was actually floating on water.

Then we went up the next floor, learning about the culture.
we walked round the museum learning about foot binding & gods they worship.
we learned about dragon parades and lion dances. soon it was time for lunch.

Everyone lined up in two lines to walk to the German restaurant.
At the German restaurant, we ate chicken schnitzel. it was Delicious....it came with mash potatoes and so i stuffed it with the mash potatoes. it tasted good too.

Our desert was apple strudel. The ice cream was also yummy. a bit of black forest cake was nice. i enjoyed the day.

Sofia's Pizza Dinner

Dinner was awesome. Pizza and pasta is always great for dinner any way...Ham,cheese,egg, on the pizza with chili flakes. pasta with cabonara sauce. yum yum. Eating hot pizza and pasta on a cool spring night was so good. When we came home from dinner, every body watched
"G- FORCE". It's really funny and i went to sleep with funny thoughts...=)

A walk in the Spring

"wish-Buds" we called them. As we walked to get lunch, we would stop often to blow the "wish-buds" and see it float in the air swiftly away. Lunch was Fish & Chips. Dad got a family pack of 4 fish flakes, potato cakes, dim sums & Chips. It was delicious!!
