  • Sushi Making and Donations

    Sushi Making and Donations

    I’m writing something very random. Two weekends ago, I went to kids sushi making class at Sushi King early in the morning. Not saying I learned nothing, I learned that vinegar must mix with sugar and salt before mixing into the Japanese rice. Haha. You can check out full writeup at my food blog.

    Then I found a very cool 20 dollars in Wallace wallet. I don’t know why a 20 dollars bill look so amazingly beautiful to me. It’s not the value, if you compare it with Euro or a British Pounds, I still like an american dollar bill. It rocks!

    HAHAHA, saw Caster and I was faking it. Flag day was really powerful, they even come rang my bell when I was at home.

  • Wesak Day Parade 2010 With Foyi In Penang

    Wesak Day Parade 2010 With Foyi In Penang

    It had been 2 years that I last joined the Wesak Day parade in Penang. Every year, during Wesak Day there will be floats parade and procession. Devotees walked around the city, with floats of flower and also many people came by to see. I went there once when I was Form 3, it was 3 years ago, last two years was really busy with study and now I am out of school, I get to join them again.

    IMG_1761 by nicholaschan.

    Have to be grateful that I was out from National Service (PLKN). I was expecting to meet my NS friends at the parade because they actually would be out to join the walk too but Deputy Komanden last minute didn’t allow them to go. Sigh. No idea why, I just know it sucks.

    I like the hair and camera.

    I drove Kenny there. He came to my place to car pool with me because he was lazy to find parking. The place was Burma Road, somewhere near to Chinese Recreation Club. The whole road was closed on that day because of Wesak Day parade. When I was there, the parade was almost ready to start. I quickly went to the meeting place at CRC field to meet up with the Foyi friends.

    Geared up my stuff and I am ready to walk and shoot. ^.^ I was really excited for that because it’s really fun walking a long way and walking together.

    There were ang mo in the group too. Joining us to walk together. The group were separated into different Buddhist association, eg. Malaysia Buddhist Association, Tzu Chi, Foyi (that’s what I was in) and so on. There’s lots of group.

    At some point, I walked very fast to catch up with the front group to meet Frank, he was there too but with different group and was ahead of us. After saying hi, we stopped and waited for Foyi to pass by and joined in again. Tired but fun.

  • Last Day of Foyi Children Camp 2009

    Last Day of Foyi Children Camp 2009

    3 days 2 nights had finally came to an end. I didn’t overnight at there because I wanted to go home to study Chinese for my SPM 2009 examination and for that two night of studies, I got C for Chinese. Sucks man. But I don’t care already, life move on.

    So it’s last day and I again, woke up early in the morning and drove to the camp site at Kheng Tian Primary School. Kids were happy to see me, they really like to bully me because I looked very easy to be bullied. OMG. They were having mini activities and making little art work. I saw a lot of helpers were asleep or stim stim or blur blur or like not yet wake up, guess they were not sleeping the night before.

    IMG_0266 by nicholaschan.

    IMG_0265 by nicholaschan.

    IMG_0340 by nicholaschan.

    They made a calendar with their group photo printed on it  and do some simple artwork. That’s the last activity of the camp. Then it’s closing ceremony and finally it ended. Feel sad because so fast ended and feel sad because the next day is Chinese exam already. Haha.

    I felt like I was a superstar at the Foyi Children Camp 2009 because everyone was asking for my autograph. Haha, but actually it’s not me only, everyone signed each other shirt. So sad I didn’t wear my red shirt like theirs so I couldn’t ask them to sign mine.

    Anyway, I wonder do you guys still wear the shirt with all the signatures?

    IMG_0278 by nicholaschan.

    Here are my autograph for people. My autograph sucks and I need to learn to sign something nice, who knows one day in the future, I might sit down and people will ask for my autograph. Hahaha, I am dreaming.

    IMG_0326 by nicholaschan.

    One tips of autograph is that don’t sign the same as your credit card or confidential documents. =) You need to have a special signature for autograph. So my autograph sucks by the way.

    Here comes the performance night during the 2009 Foyi Children Camp. I was very tired, nervous and excited because I was in charge in leading the dance for my team. I choreographed quite a few part of the whole dance, also need to thank Jin Sheng, Crystal and Kitsuki Yeoh for the help.

    The theme that my team chose was to promote a thing called towel. Haha.

    IMG_9818 by nicholaschan.

    Night falls, all the children campers were required to gather at the main hall and parents of the children flocks in.

LOL.

    Away to PLKN (Day 47): Foyi Children Camp 2009

    This is a very late post, I didn’t think of posting it up but since I am in NS right now, I’ll share something up on my blog. On last December, 2009, I attended 3D2N children camp organized by Foyi, a Buddhist society. The camp is also Buddhism-related. Foyi collaborated with Leo Club of Chung Ling High School to make this camp and it’s already 11th camp already.

    I was there too in 2008.

    IMG_9703 by nicholaschan.

    IMG_9713 by nicholaschan.

    Actually I didn’t sign up as helper or in their committee. I went there voluntary, it happened on the weekend before last SPM paper, Chinese. I was playful and didn’t want to spent so much time reading and by that time, I already didn’t have much feel for reading already, so I went to check out their camp, volunteer help for them. Haha. Is that the reason of me getting C for Chinese? I don’t think so. LOL

    Since I didn’t tell them I would be there, they didn’t expect me to come and help, and so there’s no name tag and cert for me. But that’s OK, I made myself a tag at there with marker pen and I gave myself a post as 校长, Principal. LOL. It’s just for fun but I was in one of the group too, as helper, caretaker, teacher, taking care of the kids. The year before, I was MC, so I didn’t join in much fun with the group, but I decided to have a change this year. They did ask me to be MC again, but I rejected, because I’ve no feel for it and I couldn’t be there all the time.

    I went there morning and went home at night. I didn’t overnight at there. There’s only 2 Form 5 people, me and Min Xiang, others were just preparing for SPM Chinese paper I guess. They had a lot of fun games, learning, performances, talks and many many thing.

    First day, I didn’t stay long. I only really start helping out on the second day, helping Crystal, Jin Sheng and Kitsuki Yeoh, my team’s other helpers. =D

    When I arrived on the second days, they had already started playing games. Games was a little bit same as the year before, but there’s something different too. Most interesting was still splashing water to each other. I have no idea why children/youth camp love water so much.

    What they did on the second day is playing games and preparing for night’s performance. There’s a performance show at night and parents of kids were invited to come see. We had to prepare either a dance or a sketch to promote so
    mething, an item, then will let people to guess what we were promoting. It’s like making an advertisement.

    As for my group, we did a dance to promote towel and I choreographed part of the dance. Since then, I only knew that dancing and choreographing is so hard.

    IMG_9763 by nicholaschan.

    IMG_9764 by nicholaschan.

    Another show for the night was fashion show which was about making something cool out of newspaper. Some of the helpers had already prepared water color and blings blings for it. I only knew about it that afternoon, if I had knew it earlier, I would brought more thing for my team. =D
