In few more hours, we’ll be welcoming the year of the rabbit! Happy Chinese New Year to all of you! May this year be a prosperous one.
Left: I’m pretty lazy this year, I did these the past few weeks. Previous years, it’s triple of what you see here!
Right: The famous cat in Kuching.
That’s all for now. Gonna do my nails ;p Then take photos and videos of the fireworks war later.
Gong Xi Fa Chai!
I’m not talking politics here and I won’t entertain any political comments in this post also(I’m likely to delete them) because it’s always the same thing over and over again, you no need say I already what you want to say. You know, I know, we all know. It’s nothing new anyway. This is not a heavy topic too, I’m just sharing my experience.
Attended SUPP Convention at BCCK last Sunday. Let’s just say I was there for the sake of being there or whatever you called it hahaha…
This is the largest event I had ever attended. They said that they targeted 5000 people but 6000 turned up. Really that many or not, I’m not sure. Everyone was wearing the same t-shirt, so many people, what a scene! I was seated up-stair. When lunch break, it’s really hard to move! The lifts were full and many people going down using the staircases and escalators. A sea of people in red and yellow t-shirt. *gulp*
What you see here is just a portion of those attended. Was there at 7.30am.
Most importantly, our PM was there. That’s the only reason I’m interested *LOL* Never see PM in-person, only on TV all these while. I’m so sakai. Anyway, I’m not his fan, he’s just Malaysia PM to me. Both PM and CM were scheduled to reach there at 9.45am but they only turned up at around 10.30am. PM was supposed to go to another event at Sungai Tapang at 10am and that side had to delay the programme to 12 something.
Firstly, it was DCM (Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr. George Chan Hong Nam) who gave his speech, asking for allocation and talking about how Sarawak had contributed to the country. Also, not to forget, he congratulated and shared the joy of CM (Pehin Sri Dr. Abdul Taib) who recently got a new wife and the wedding reception was on Saturday night at DUN which caused everyone to laugh(either it’s sincere laugh or sinister laugh from the audiences, it’s up to you to think which one was it LOL).
Secondly, it was CM (Pehin Sri Dr. Abdul Taib) who gave his speech. I don’t remember what he talked about, was busy entertaining myself ;p
Lastly, it was PM’s (Dato’ Sri Najib Razak) turn. No specific amount of allocation promised but it sounded something like this(not exact), “I only want winners. George, I only want people who can win. I don’t care who they are. As long that you all do your job and win, I will give what you need.” Obviously many people were disappointed because there’s no promise of monetary allocation to the party. What do you expect?!?! Lost so many seats, almost all, you think he was happy with it? PM is not stupid, he calculates gao gao one. Besides that, not to forgot he did mention few times about our CM new relationship status which again caused everyone to laugh. PM was there at CM’s wedding reception on Saturday too.
Left: From the projector. CM and PM after PM made his speech waiting to officiate the convention and receiving souvenirs from both CM and DCM.
Right: After officiating the convention, it was almost 1pm. He left for the next function. This is the closest I could get from my camera. Many photographers/reporters were up-stair with me and they shouted, “PM, look up! Up here!”. Then, PM looked up, they snapped, snapped, snapped as many as they could. I didn’t manage to get the shot because of my setting hahaha… DCM was behind PM.
Basically, that’s the summary of the convention. What an experience.
Gathering of the Tribes 2011, a tribal and tattoo expo was held at BCCK last weekend. I got the pass to the opening ceremony. Thought the ceremony was on the stage but we were so wrong LOL… It’s in the middle of the hall. The opening ceremony was conducted differently from the usual event opening ceremony.
Here’s the video. Upacara Miring to mark the opening of the event, I took the video to share with you. It’s easier this way than having me writing about it.
Initially I thought this event was related to the tribes of Borneo where you could see and learn about the cultures of the tribes, something like a visit to the cultural village. When I got in, I was confused after seeing tattoo booths from the beginning to the end. Only then it dawned on me that it was about tattoos of tribes from all over the world, it’s not about the tribes of Borneo, if you get what I mean.
You can even get your tattoo done on the spot. It’s weird to know that some people are so afraid of injection yet not afraid of getting inked -.-” Injection just one time only and it’s over but it’s not the case in getting the tattoo. Hmmm… I don’t understand hahaha…
Left: Some handicrafts from Sarawak.
Right: Some information on tattoos around the world.
The host of Tattoo Hunter, Lars Krutak, was there too but I didn’t know. Watched the Tattoo Hunter half way and I left. I’m not a fan of tattoo and never will be one, really not my thing but the series was very interesting to watch and informative.
The event was a 3-day event, did you go?
Finally got time to blog. Just reached Kuching 5 hours ago.
How was your celebration?
Nothing much for me, was in Singapore. Spent it in the hotel room packing, showering, and sleeping *LOL* I did not manage to get new clothes or shoes but just some random little things. It feels weird because usually I’ll surely bought at least some clothes since CNY is coming and should be doing my shopping there ;p
The trip was quite tiring, never have a trip this tired hmm… Legs are painful too, walked too much. Surprising, I met so many people that I know on this trip. What’s the odd of having someone you know boarded the same flight as you, stayed at the same hotel(only found out the on the third day, met at the lobby), and went back on the same flight too? Then, met another person that happened to spend her holiday in Singapore at a place you least expected, a coffee shop in Singapore. Next, one of my blog readers was on the same flight but saw her from afar, didn’t manage to approach her.
As if everyone in Kuching was heading to Singapore these few months. Almost everyone I know all visited Singapore these few months. Guess it’s the new attractions and the affordable flight tickets.
As usual… I’ll blog about the trip π
Happy new year and hope you have a wonderful year ahead!
Went to church this morning to attend the Christmas service.
Left: The Ark parked outside the old church building.
Right: Singing praise.
Left: The crowd down stair.
Right: The choir. Watch the video below, was sitting near to the speaker so the sound quality is not that good. Too loud.
Merry Christmas!
