14 September 2008 - Mid Autmn Festival (MoonCake Festival)

We, chinese celebrating the Mid Autumn Festival on the chinese calendar of 15 August. Somehow, this year it drops on the 14 September of our calendar. A little bit upset of this year, firstly because this year everyone have to eat expensive moon cake and secondly, I was not HOME!!!!!!!!!!!

As we know and see, nowadays there are many types of moon cake then what our great grandfather have. So, we can now enjoy more varieties of moon cake then they do. How lucky we are don't you think. Below is some pictures of moon cake.





Lantern is of course something that couldn't miss out during the Mid Autumn Festival. This is the fun part when we see children taking their lantern around and have fun with it. But somehow nowadays lantern are more and more impressive. Using batteries instead of candles, made of plastic instead of paper that can get burn by fire. Some of it even with music but BUT i still prefer the tradition lantern that light up with candle like the one below. It makes me feel like really celebrating Mid Autumn and have a feeling of missing home if I was not at home!!

So, today this day I am here at KL celebrating it with my cousin and sister instead of family. Early in the morning me and sis had when to market and bought some fresh vegetables for night meal.

First of all, is a chicken. How can miss out a dish of meat for this special day. With the help of mummy, I mean consultation I decide to make a steamed chicken. This is my first time preparing!!




The outcome is actually not bad but it can be improve again and somehow the taste is not bad!! hehe..satisfied with it and gona do it better the next time!!! I chop the whole chicken myself and also my first time experience. Somehow I worried that I would chop off my finger but luckily still on my hand!! If not I wont be typing my blog now!!! HAHAHAHAHA You have a dish of meat how can you miss out a plate of vege. This is what we gona cook and have tonight!! Mixed vegetables!!!
Looks Like 5 Happiness!!!!

Last but not least of bowl of soup is definitely a NEED in a meal. Not the main course but an important one every time you have a meal.

WAN BAK SOUP



You read my title carefully didn't you?? So how can we miss out the main character of the day!!
I bought it last minute at the market and that is the only stall who sells it!! So cute got cartoon one some more!!!!
This is the only moon cake I eat for this year, so pity!!

Last of all, wish everyone Happy Mid Autumn Festival!!!
Don't forget to pay a visit to the moon later, and with a piece of moon cake and a cup of tea. It is definitely a type of leisure and who knows you may see "ChangEr" and rabbit on it!!!!

Mandara Spa - Miri Marriott Resort & Spa (20th Anniversary)

In such hectic and fast pace era, we are in need of relaxation and proper stress release method. Nothing beats a great detoxification and massage that could reduce tension muscle which had been stiffed and hard as rock.  Probably, its the right time to pamper and go for a good drink, a great meal or perhaps even an awesome deal of spa. Mandara Spa had recently launched a good deal promotion where you can put behind your worries and contribute to those who are in need. Nothing feels better than doing good deed and pampering yourself at the very same time. Always awesome to kill two birds with one stone. Definitely worthwhile paying for charity that helps building a kid future, shaping a better generation and also creating a better place.  Mandara Spa is a world wide known spa which started with a humble beginning from Bali. This year May marked their 20th anniversary.  In conjunction with their 20th Anniversary, Mandara Spa are having a whole week of activities starting from

Miri Community

How much people out there really know how much states do Malaysia have? Even they knew it but they would never know where they actually situated. People would be proud of how much country they had been to but never feel ashamed that they had never been to most of the states of their own country. As a Malaysian I am proud to be one of the citizens. Having this opportunity I would like to describe a few things and attractions of my homeland, MIRI ! When you see this word, how much do you really know about this place? No idea? When someone mentioned Brunei they would know but Miri is just neighbors’ to them and they never knew where is Miri or Miri actually exist.
