Malaysian Street 2

            Few months ago, I went to Gaya Street that located at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah with my family. I went there during the Christmas day. The Gaya Street fair is on every Sunday. The time is from 630am to 1pm. However, the Christmas carnival starts at 7pm. The Gaya Street is also one of the tourist attractions. Many of the tourist went there to get their stuff from the stalls at Gaya Street.

          Gaya Street is also known as Bond Street. Every Sunday morning, a part of Gaya Street is closed for the fair. The car can't drive on that street. You can buy batik, flowers, fruits, craft, shoes, antiques, foods, herbs, toys, souvenirs and even pets with a low price at Gaya Street. Many of the local enjoy family outing to the Gaya Street fair. You can get there by taking public transport too.

         I went to Gaya Street with my family early in the morning at 7am. We went out from my grandparents house at 630am. We bought some cakes from the stalls that selling cakes as our breakfast. We walk around and found a stall that are selling plastic Chinese toys. We bought some toys and bring back and gave to my younger cousins. Besides that, we also bought some plants for my grandparents from the plants stall.   

         Gaya Street is a very clean street. You will feel very comfortable walking along the whole street under the big trees. We walked around the whole street for about 2 hours and went back to grandparents house by 9am. My relatives told us that are a Christmas carnival at night. They all planed to go there. The carnival starts at 7pm. We went out from my grandparents house around 630pm.

         The traffic started to jam at 7.30pm. More cars and people coming.Many of stalls along the whole street as the morning time. We watched a great performance of traditional instruments orchestra. Besides that, we also bought some drinks. Me and my cousins did the face art. I drew a cute hello kitty on my face. After the fireworks section, we went back to grandparents home happily. We have a great day at Gaya Street.

Malaysian Street 1

       I didn't go to Petaling Street, the Chinatown at Kuala Lumpur for a few years already. However, I still remember everything about the street clearly. The stalls on the street open for the whole day but there are very crowded especially at night time and during the Chinese new year. The last time I went there is when I was 15 years old. About 3 years i didn't been there already. If you go to Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Street is the place that you can't missed to go. Many tourist visit to Petaling Street while they travel to Kuala Lumpur. Petaling street is one of the tourist attractions.

       Petaling Street is a flea market.At the Petaling Street, you can buy the things that you want with a low price. What ever you want also can found at the Petaling Street. Such as, watches, cloths, belts, wallets and handbags. Even illegal CD and DVD you also can found it from the street. Pirated branded bags, wallets, belts and watches are available at the stalls. Such as LV, Gucci, Prada and Rolex. You can also found fashionable clothing there selling with a very low price. If you don't satisfy with the price they gave, you still can negotiate the price with the seller.

      Besides than watches, cloths, belts, wallets and handbags, you can also found accessories, sunglasses souvenirs from the stalls at Petaling Street. Accessories such as necklace, ring and hair stuff are available at the stalls at Pelating Street. Stuff like UV protection sunglasses also you can get from there. Most of the tourist went to Petaling Street to buy the souvenirs that are from Malaysia. Such as batik and others Malaysia's trade mark souvenirs. All those stuffs are selling with a very low price compared with those selling at the shopping center. So, most of the local also prefer to buy things from Petaling Street.

      Moreover, there are a lot of delicious food and nice drinks available at Petaling Street. Many of food stalls and restaurants that are selling all different food at there. A lot choices of good food that you can't finish all in a day. For an example, the Chinese beef noodle stall that are located at a small street among the Petaling Street. The Chinese beef noddle stall is not so obvious. So most of their customers are from local. The Chinese beef noodle smells good till can attract many of customers. It looks simple, but you really can't imagine that how come such a simple beef noodles can be published in newspaper? Don't need to describe more, once you tried it then you will know the reason. Many of their far customers purposely go eat their beef noodle.
     
        Lastly,  there are some Chinese dessert stall located at Petaling Street too. Such as liquid form dessert that are made from red bean, green bean,black glutinous rice, Fuzhu and sesame. You will enjoy the sweetness spread on your taste bud when u having the dessert. Beside that, the dessert can also fulfill our thoughts of home. That is a kind of soul therapy for those people who missing their family and feels lonely in the city. These dessert are so ordinary for the Chinese but it is really hard to have it from our mother when we have to live alone out from our hometown.

A Touching Movie.

The most impressive movie that I have watched last year is Aftershock that directed by a famous China director, Feng Xiao Gang. The movie is about the Tang Shan earthquake that happened on 28th July 1976. That is a 7.8 rank earthquake. The earthquake causes death of about 240k people.  Besides that, the important point in the movie is about a family that separated by the earthquake. This is a touching movie.

             The story is about a family in Tang Shan. A truck driver, his wife and their twins daughter and son. Their daughter felt that they more love the son since young. Everything that left one they will give to their son first. However, they are still a warm and happy family.
One night, the truck driver went out with her wife. Their daughter and son slept at home. Suddenly they felt something weird. The earthquake started. The truck driver tried his best to run back to save their daughter and son out. But he failed and he was died in the in incident.Tang Shan has been destroyed. After the earthquake, the truck driver’s wife tried to find their daughter and son. Finally she found them. But they trapped under a big concrete block. The rescue team is trying to save them out. But they told her that she have to choose one only. Another one has to be sacrifice. Because of the position of the concrete block, if save anyone, the other side of the concrete block will collapse and the other one will die. Finally she chose to sacrifice her daughter. Her daughter heard that her mother chose to sacrifice her. She felt sad and hurt. She can’t image that her mother will said that.

                  Finally the son has been rescued. But in the end, her daughter survived. She rescued by a soldier. Few days later, a couple of army adopted her. And she changed her surname too. The army couple treated her in a very good way. Everything is well prepared for her. And she finally has her own room. Besides that, they also send her to continue her study at university. However, she still can’t forget the heart pain that her own mother chose to save out her brother. She couple with her classmate in her university. But her boyfriend leaved her when he knew that she pregnant. Her new mother died in the same time. She felt shame to face her new father so she leaved the city. She took care of her daughter alone. A few years later, she married with a Canadian. He is a lawyer. He doesn’t mind that she has a daughter. He treated her very good and treated her daughter as his own daughter. She decided to move to Canada with her husband. Before she leaved China, she went back to her house to inform her new father.


  
            She lived happily with her husband and daughter at Canada. Thirty two years later, she went back to China to join the rescue team for the 2008 Si Chuan earthquake. When she reached the disaster place, she put all her anger down. She finally understand that why her mother did so. She saw a mother trying to save her daughter out by cut her daughter’s both leg out. She felt how pain was the mother’s heart is. When she sat down and rest. She accidently heard a man that telling a story about how he go trough the 1976 Tang Shan earthquake. He lost his one side leg when he rescued by the rescue team. Besides that, he most guilty is he lost his twins sister to survived. She found that he is her twin brother. She followed her brother went back to meet her mother. She felt nervous. When she met her mother, both of them cried. She found that since they lost her, anything her mother bought for her brother, her mother also bought one for her and kept in a big box. They felt sorry to each other. Finally they get back together and she finally can forgive her mother after thirty two years. They all cried together. The ending was so touched.

All about me.

     I born in a very warm and complete family with father,mother and one elder brother. I live in a good condition environment. I have a maid in my house since i born. I am too dependent to my maid. I can't wake up by myself on time in the morning. I also don't even know how to cook until now i stay outside only i learn how to cook by myself. Everything is ready for me since I born to this world. I don't need to contribute anything to get anything from parents. But my parents believes me, they treated me as an adult. I can make good decision by myself. About my brother, we always argue with each other. But we cares about each other. Since now he study at Australia, we have less time to meet each other, so we seldom argue. We will talk much when we meet each other.

    The next thing I want to share is about my personality character. I am kind. I like to help the weak. I am very friendly and generous. I treated my family and friends in a very good way. I am a little bit lazy. But once I decided to do something, I will finish and complete it on time. Besides that, I am a very shy person. I don't dare to talk in front public. Maybe is because of my language is not good enough. I scare other people will laugh on me when I said something wrong. Sometimes I don't even know how to express what I am thinking about. But I like to try something new to me. I like to join some adventure activities and camps.

     Besides that, about my body image, I am baby fat, short but I satisfied with my height. My skin color is not dark and fair enough. Have pimples on my face and I think is because not enough sleep and not enough water I drink. I am trying to change my sleeping time to have a healthier life style. I have small eyes but I thank God that I have a perfect body. I don't have any physically disable.

     Moreover, I get many friends from primary and secondary school. But just one that i can believe to. I learned to be strong from them. Ignore those who attack us and Appreciate those who helps us. I live with my best friend now out from my warm house. The one that I trusted much. We stay at my auntie house. Have to learn to be more independent.Do everything by ourselves. But now I still need my friend to wake me up everyday. I will try to make it by myself one day.

     Lastly, is about my philosophy. For me, no one is 100% correct. Just do what good and suitable for yourself. Don't need other people to agree with you or do something same with what you did. Don't feel down if other people criticize on what you doing. Just do what you feel it is good and correct. Furthermore, no one will give you anything for free unless you work hard to get it.

That is all about me.
