Chinese New Year in Fraser's Hill, Pahang


My family and I went to Fraser's Hill for a family reunion. It is Chinese culture that you go to a family reunion every year, and collect ang pow.
Ang pow is, a small pouch filled with money. You will only get ang pow if you are not married. On the second day of CNY I had already collected 100 dollars!!!
Red is the Chinese Year color. It
means good luck and prosperity.






The view was amazing all day long.

BUKIT FRASER, PAHANG


These are my friends from Fraser's Hill. I will name their names left to right. The first one is Ahswin, Tinish, Sueraksha (Sue) , me myself and I, Shin Ying, and last but not least Siddh. The only one that is missing is Yuki, she is at the table in the orange shirt.











It is very dangerous to drive in the morning because the fog is tremendous.
















The view was amazing at high pines.

5 star hotel, Miri - Sarawak






The first hotel that we stayed in was the Marriott. The hotel was 5 stars, so I thought that it was amazing! When I first got into the hotel, I asked my uncle Boon kudea why there were so many sea horses? He said that there were so many because it was Sarawak's mascot.







This seahorse is actually a light house near the beach that we saw. So far I think that I have seen 5 to 6 seahorses right after we had got off of the plane.




Brunei Darul Salam, Island of Borneo






In Brunei they have a lot of oil. That is why a lot of people work at Shell. If you are just driving around you would see a lot of gas pumping machines near by.






The whole Brunei has alot of these nodding donkeys. Can you imagine how much oil that is!!!

Sun Set Miri , Sarawak




The sunset at the boat club was amazing! We stayed there for dinner and me and my brother Siddh got to play at the beach. Can you guess what sea this is?






You can not see me because it was getting dark.



The sea breeze makes you want to go to sleep if you sit down. That is why the dinner was out side.














The menu- McDonalds in Miri, Sarawak





The menu looks good but really, that was the slowest Mc Donalds that i have ever been to! The line took about 2 and a half hours and that was just the line. [ that is what it felt like waiting...]We also had to get the food and that took about, 15 min.!













My favorite drink is Milo. A chocolate drink. Ribena is a fruit juice and is very popular too.












Very expensive. This is the special for Chinese new Year.

Up...





All of the wonderful lanterns are being put up by the workers for Chinese New Year which also falls on Feb 14th - Valentines day.
