Chap Goh Meh

Remember I was so excited to fly back home few weeks ago to celebrate Chinese New Year. And now it almost come to an end already. It is always fast for good time to past. It is about 2 weeks already since Chinese New Year. It has never been better to visit and saw lots of relatives that will only meet once a year. Haven't get to visit your friends? siblings? Not to worries, you still get the chance to do last minute visiting before new year really ends because it is still counted as new year before the 15th day of the lunar calendar ends.

The 15th day and also the last day of Chinese New Year is basically known as Chap Goh Meh/Mei. There is some tradition that is still practice until these days for Chap Goh Meh. Do you ever heard of 'bao gan'? I believe most of the chinese would know about this.

'Bao Gan' is usually done by the single lady. They will get the mandarin orange and wrote their name and number on it the throw it into the lake or river. Meanwhile on the other side, the single mean will awaits the lady to throw the mandarin orange and they will have to pick up the mandarin ornage using net of course which is called 'lau' in chinese.

The eldest also say that, those who can make it will live happily with their partner happily ever after. I do not how true it is but every year this activity is still going on and I am proud that our tradition is still passing through the generation.

Are you still single? Are you a lady? So, what are you waiting for? Get a nice mandarin orange wrote your name on it and find place that have these activity to throw your orange and get a nice men home!

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.

Watching it grow and expand with achievement is just like parents watching their child grow up and the happiness can never ever described by any words in dictionary. From a small town we had bee
