My Overall Christmas Celebration!!!!!! I love Christmas..

Be prepared, cause it will be a long post..


1. Mixed "Bao Jia Yin"(parade) at Sanyan Square

Alright!! I'll start with this big activity. 20 of December, 5 days before christmas, 11 days before 2009, 37 day before chinese New Year, 42 days before i go back to UTP, there is a big event at Sibu Town Square, in front of Wisma Sanyan Shopping Complex, which is called "lien he Bao Jia Yin" in chinese.

More than 50 churches participated in this event,My church does not miss the excitement. It's a custom event when some churches prepared the "Hua Che" (so called flower car) to show it to everyone that pass through the event later. Now, the process of completing the flower car is leaded by Jeremy Tay, talented and hardworking young man from my church.




















this is the steel bar that will be used to stablize the roof..

Now, here's some dramatic event that occur during the process of completing the flower car.

a. The design.

It's the last day, and there flower car is still quite empty with no decoration on it. Everyone was rushing here and there trying to complete the flower car. It was fun when all those things just happen and everyone start to finish the job in super speed. Finally, we just attach all the materials on the flower car and try to make it as beautiful as possible. The musician started to pack their instruments on the flower car, and we try to finish it asap.


b. Time

The clock start to tick by pointing its finger on us around 3pm. The flower car should be pulled to Sibu Town Square at 5pm, yet the sound system and generator havent arrive yet. So, nothing to do, they just finish all the possible work first. Finally, the generator arrive first, followed by the stereo system.


c. Generator

The generator have been safely attached to the lorry that will pull the flower car. But, the power supplied by the generator is very unstable. and 2 of the pendaflour won't light up. So, there is a suggestion from expert, use stabilizer. Luckily, everything went well and the lighting, sound system and bla bla bla that use electricity are well connected with enough power supply.


d. Musical instrument

The parade almost started, yet there is still some instrument that haven't arrive and some musician that are late for this and that reason. yet, some of them are really working very hard to make the parade work out. haha


e. Parade

The most frustrating part. When all the people arrive already, there is no leader at the group of people that stand in the middle of the parade. So, we just stand there until our turn arrive, but still we didn't move. I am not pointing finger to anybody, but it certainly is management problem. we were like so embarrassed standing on the middle of the field, alone.. but, finally, we walked. thank God. As the word goes, we should not be blaming for something bad that happen, instead we should feel grateful that the system works.. LOL..




Haha, that's some of the excitement that we face during the parade. Now, head on to the event. To the left and right side of the stage are lots of christmas tree decorated beautifully and standing proudly for others to glance at them. Sponsored by different company and firms, they really put a lot of effort in building the christmas tree..















































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































And some of the pictures are the situation during the parade, where a lot of people are looking at the beautiful flower car, and some people are distributing sweets, and fliers for the pedestrian. It is very fun to see so many people just stand there just to see you walk through them. Nice. We had it every year and this year, and next year, welcome to join us. Alright, that was the first assignment. Now, second assignment..




2. Church Parade

It's almost the same as the Mixed "Bao Jia yin" above, just that, this time, we walk around residential area. It's very very fun when residents around that area come out to look at you, hear you sing, and some of them are distributing fliers to each and every house around the area. Overall, the area occupied are. 1. Jalan Indah 2. Jalan Ginbo 3. Jalan Miden 4. Jalan Tebu 5. Jalan-jalan yang saya tak tahu namanya..



3. 25 December. Church celebration.

Ok, actually, still got more activities, i haven't post, but this is some of the major one.. so, that's my christmas this year.. Ho Ho Ho!!!!!

Trip to Bukit Aup.

Ok, last friday, my nephew (married with 3 kids) come back from bintulu, and they called us to join them for a trip to Bukit Aup, a place that they will definately visit if they come back to sibu, they ask me and two of my brothers to join them.

First, they come here to visit my and my parent. After a few chit chats, we went to bukit aup for our trip. Her kids are very active, which is a good sign.. haha, if not active, it means there is something wrong.. lol, (their perception) and when we arrive, we started at the playground first.






















I'm not taking the picture of the lake, there is a big fish down there and i was trying to take it's picture..



















Big sister, yun yun.



















Husband and second brother, yuan yuan.




















My bro and youngest sister, wen wen.




















Wife and the wen wen.



















Here we go!!



















Let go of me!! i wan to walk up by myself.. haha,..




































One happy family..



















This is where we feed the fishes after the playground time is over.. haha..





After all the walk and play at the playground, they went back to their hotel and we all go back also, cause later at the night, we will go for dinner together. so, i went to play basketball for around 30 minutes and then bath for the dinner.

After the dinner, we went for a walk at pasar malam, and some shops, cause they want to buy some food. Now, while walking, i personally experience the difficulty of raising kids. their . kids kept on running around and not following their parent. Me and my bro have to navigate their position all the time so they won't get lost.

Went to the cloth section. then, i lost the second brother 2 times!! luckily can find him back. So!!! now i know how hard it is to raise a kid. now i understand how a mother spent their attention and focus to look after their children precisely. now i know how hard it is to have kids. and now i know i have to spent anonymous amount of time for my children in order to raise them in full responsibility and love. ha.

Then, they all go back to bintulu the next morning. bye bye, that's the end of my trip today.
