I got this link from a friend where it amaze me that we are really nobody. We are so small in this universe. I'm shocked that I can't see where I am in space. I feel so small suddenly.

My Christmas
I can say that this year's Christmas is different for me. My sister is currently doing her internship in Penang and she can only take 3 days leave. She has taken Christmas Eve off so she has to be at work again the day after Christmas.
On Christmas day we took our time to wake up. When we wake up, it is close to lunch time and we have to get ready to go over to have lunch with our grandmother. My other relatives left their present under the tree and left fo holiday but due to arrive home late Christmas evening. My mother bought a lot of wonderful food for lunch.

After lunch, my parents and sister have to pack their things to rush back to Taiping and then to Penang then back to Taiping. Before they left, we opened our presents together. It was fun opening our presents. I manage to get my sister a present which she love. It is weird for what we did is buy things we like for others where the other person likes it also ^_^
I'm very happy with my presents. I got another penguin to add to my collection of penguins ^_^ That is the gift from my sister. My cousin, Janet and Edwin got me a pair of beautiful earrings while my aunt got me my tailor made slacks and a 365 ways to wake up laughing calender -_-" Wonder why she got me that. Then my other uncle and aunt got me a brooch in the shape of flowers which is lovely. To add on, a family friend got me a heart shape lace thingy from lovely lace which is beautiful. Besides that, I receive a greeting card from Louisa all the way from New Zealand. I also have an additional present from a friend name Vince, who gave me a bar of alcoholic chocolate which is cool and an Initial D 4 arcade card.

All I can say is I'm very happy with my gifts and I thank everyone for them. I also want to thank all the warm wishes send to me through SMS from friends and relatives. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Wet Christmas
This is the second year where I celebrate a wet Christmas ^_^ I always wish to have a white Christmas and I got it in the year 2000 where I celebrated my Christmas in Utah, USA. That was really a white Christmas for I got to play with snow ^_^
Since last year, it rain heavily just before evening Christmas mass. The chairs would be wet and there wouldn't be enough place to seat. But for me, this year is a bit different ^_^ I have learned to see things differently and manage to have my Christmas wish come true.
I was told that there is a law call 'The Law of Attraction". It seems that what we want most in our hearts can come true for we keep thinking of it till it happen. If we have it strong enough, we would get what we wish for. It seems to work for me this year.
I got my wish come true this Christmas. It is something like what Britney Spears song, "All I Want For Christmas" ^_^ I think it is a good start ^_^ It is definately a good Christmas and I wish what I wish for would come true and become real one day ^_^ That has been my Christmas wish every year ^_^

Crazy Traffic
I can't believe that I forgot that today was the end of a long weekend since Hari Raya Haji falls on Thursday and there are a lot of people who take Friday off. So me, the smart ass, decided to start my journey back to KL at 6pm along with the everyone else.
Earlier in the day, I just sat at home enjoying the shows on AXN and then go out for a quick last minute Christmas shopping. My dad was rushing me and it didn't hit me yet till I got stuck along Sungai Perak rest area. That was when the first jam started. It was then I realized that people are heading back to KL to work on the next day -_-"
Then I thought, isn't Tuesday a public holiday too? Why are all these people going back to work? Can't they take Monday off too? But then another realization hit me where not everyone can take Monday off as they might have finished all their annual leave. Damn...how stupid can I get?
The jam from Sungai Perak lasted till the Ipoh Utara toll before it clear for a while. It was 8pm when I reach Ipoh. My sister was complaining hungry so we stop at McDonald's near Tesco Ipoh for dinner. We rested for 30 minutes before we continue our journey. Since we are full and content, I hope for a smooth journey from here onwards.
My wish seems to come true as traffic was smooth till Tapah where the jam started again. But this time, the jam lasted till Rawang. My maximum speed was only 110 km/h while the slowest was 30 km/h. By the time we reached KL, it was pass 12 midnight. For a normal 3 hours journey, it took me 6 hours for I was dumb as not to remember about the jam.
I wonder how come this very IMPORTANT information can slipped my mind? I can say it is due to my holiday mood where I'm on holiday and forgot that there are others who are also on holiday like me. This is my punishment for being dumb -_-"

Bling Party '07
I was sick for the entire week due to viral fever and things are slow for me. Things start to pick up once I got better. My first ever entertainment was to a Christmas party where the theme of the party is 'Bling Party'. The party was held in LOFT where I met up with my kindergarden friend Jin Siang. It was cool to meet up with him.
Before we head of to the party, we went to a near-by food stall for a quick dinner and to catch up. It was fun to just chill and catch up on old times ^_^ It was about 9pm before we head in to LOFT and the exciting part of the party just started. There were games and lucky draw prizes to be won. Unfortunately, I wasn't that lucky to win the grand prize which is a Sony 32" LCD plasma TV. Damn! Adrian Cho was the winner. What he did to get that prize was to eat damn spicy hotdogs (spicier than chilli padi).
Anyway, it was fun and got to chill and hang out with old friends and new friends. But the music was kinda slow as they were trying to chase us out to open the club for other party clubers. In the end, I had a friend, Jeremy who called me to join him and his friend in Aloha.
The invitation was very tempting so I head off to Aloha with a new friend Philip. Once there, I had to call Jeremy to bring us in. When Jeremy came out, he asked us to filled up some promotion form and intro me to one of the promoters. When I saw her, she was a familiar face. It then hit me that she is my sister's friend, Terri. It was so exciting. We didn't manage to talk as she has to work so i got her number to keep in touch with her.
I couldn't believe how many people I met that night. I got to meet new people and also bump into old friends. It is so cool ^_^ Once in, Jeremy bought a bottle of Black Label and we had fun drinking and dancing. It has been a long while since I last unwind and let myself go and just have fun. It felt so good. I had a fantastic night and wonder if I have the chance to do it again.

Multi-Level Marketing
Multi Level Marketing (MLM) is the most misunderstood industry in the world currently. Why is it said so? Many say that it is a scam and no one can become rich overnight. I can say that is a true but did anyone promise you that you can be rich overnight? Did anyone promise you that you do not need to work and money comes in your pocket? If there is, I'm sorry that you were mislead by the person who intro you to this industry.
You would be wondering why do I want to blog bout this. I was approach by them and decided to learn more bout this industry before I decide on it. Before I say more, what is the difference between 'facts' and 'opinion'? Facts is something that actually exists; reality; truth: Your fears have no basis in fact. Opinion is a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty; a personal view, attitude, or appraisal. As you can see there is a difference between 'facts' and 'opinions'.
The fact now is MLM can help you in your financial independence. I'm sorry if those who think that they can be rich overnight and not work hard. MLM is like any normal job. You can't expect to see results in a short time unless you really work hard on it. At the start it may be hard for nothing is easy as we all know. It is our own self motivation that is going to push us further.
As we all know, what MLM does is find friends to join in their network. When a friend approach you, do they force you to join or give you your own freedom to choose? I know there are some who are forced to join while some are given the option to choose. I would like to apologize to those who are forced into this industry. I would also like to apologize to whose who choose to join but see no results. Why do I say that? Do we know WHY we join this industry? I think it is mainly money.
Money attracts, true? Who won't want to make money quick and not work hard. We are all lazy humans. Anything that can benefit us and not work hard, we sure jump in and do it. But, if your WHY's isn't strong enough, do you think you would be successful in this industry? Let's not say this industry, lets say your own life. If your WHY's of living is not strong, do you think you can survive in this world or you decide to suicide?
When your WHY isn't that strong, isn't it easy for people's opinion to make you rethink? I can say, no matter how good the marketing plan is like, when a person tell you it is a scam and you believe it, won't you think it is a scam also when you are not doing well? What happen next? You then decide to quit it then tell others that it is a scam and they cheat you out of your money. But, did you ask yourself who is mainly at fault? For those who are forced, I would like to apologize again that you were mislead and had an unpleasant journey. For those who choose it themselves, who is the one at fault?
We must remember, when we point a finger at others, there is either 3-4 fingers pointing back at our own self. We ourselves are mainly at fault. They have given you the plan, how it works but did we follow? Maybe we did but did we work hard enough or just shake legs and wait for money to come in? Did they promise you that you would be earning 5 digits a month when you first join? If they did, I apologize again. The fact is, the figures were shown to you but what they say is estimated pay and no gurantee you get it for it depends on your hard work.
The main reason for your friends to show you the industry or the business is because they saw the opportunity to be successful not in money wise but in self wise. They show this business to you so that it can benefit you. All they can do is to show you the plan, show you the industry but they can't decide for you. They would share with you or ask their partners to share with you but did they force you? Maybe the way they share seems like but why are they firm? Because they can earn our money? Maybe. Some do it for they sincerely believe it can help you. They were once like us, in our position. They have gone through hard times as well but they kept going.
What MLM can do is create the opportunity for us. It is then our choice to choose not theirs. There are so many MLM companies out there but which to choose? Look into their background and meet the people who are in it to see if you trust them. Other than that, to see if the environment is the one you prefer. But most important thing is, is the product good or bad. The rest is up to you your own self. No one can force you to do it other than yourself. When you fail, it is either it isn't your cup of tea but force yourself just to earn that big income or you gave up on yourself and not the people who gave up on you. I wouldn't deny that there are some teams who gave up on their downlines. I would like to apologize for that misfortune.

Left or Right???
First, identify yourself as right or left brain person:
1. Hold your hands together, as if you were praying. Look at your hands. If you see
Left thumb is below the right thumb ---> left brain
Right thumb is below the left thumb ---> right brian
2. Fold your arms in front of you (as if you are angry)
Right arm above left arm ---> left brain
Left arm above right arm ---> right brain
Based on 1+2 (order important), below is the interpretation of your personality:
Right-Left - Considerate, traditional, indirect type
Can instinctly read other's emotion, and respond friendly by natures. Although not very into taking intiatives in moving forward, but this person will always take a step back in supporting others. Stable personality and considerate, give others a being protected feeling. But the weakness is they cannot say no; regardless how unwilling they are, they will take care of others.
Right-Right - Loves challenges type Straightfoward.
Once they decided on one thing, will take action right away. Very curious, and love challenges. Dare to face dangers without thinking through (sometimes foolishly). Their weakness is they dont listen to others, will filter in only what whey want to hear in a conversation, and very subjective. However, because of their straightforward attitude, they tend to be fairly popular.
Left-Left - Dedicated, cold, perfectionist
Very logical in all aspects. The only way to defeat (or win over) him/her is through reasons. Has a lot of prides, and feeling strongly about doing the right thing. If they are your friends, they are very trustworthy. However, if they are your opponets, they will be very tough to deal with. Because they can be very "anal" as a perfectionist, they usually leave a bad impression of being hard to deal with when first met.
Left-Right - Likes to take care of others, leader type
Has a cool and keen observation ability to see through situations, yet still can be considerate in others needs. Because of their cool and calm nature, and strong sense of responsibility, they tend to become head of a group. Popular among people. However, they may not be able to help themselves in meddling because they want to take care of others too much. Very concerned about how others view them, and always on alert.

God's Clinic
I went to God’s Clinic to have my routine checkup and I confirmed I was ill:
When God took my blood pressure, He saw I was low in tenderness.
When he read my temperature, the thermometer registered 40ยบ of anxiety.
He ran an electrocardiogram and found that I needed several ‘love bypasses’ since my
arteries were blocked with loneliness and could not provide for an empty heart.
I went to orthopedics, because I could not walk by my brother’s side and I could not hug my
friends, since I had fractured myself when tripping with envy.
He also found I was shortsighted, since I could not see beyond the shortcomings of my
brothers and sisters.
When I complained about deafness, the diagnosis was that I had stopped listening to God’s voice talking to me on a daily basis.
For all of that, God gave me a free consultation thanks to his mercifulness. So my pledge is
to, once I leave this clinic, only take the natural remedies he prescribed through his words of
truth:
Every morning, take a full glass of gratitude.
When getting to work, take one spoon of peace.
Every hour, take one pill of patience, one cup of brotherhood and one glass of humility.
When getting home, take one dose of love.
When getting to bed, take two tablets of clear conscience.
Do not give in to sadness or desperation for what you are going through today.
God knows how you feel......
God knows exactly and with perfection what is being allowed to happen to you in your life at this precise moment.
God’s purpose for you is simply perfect.
He wants to show you things that only you can understand by living what you are living, and by being in the place you are now.

Causes Of Fire
Received from a friend who is in the property insurance business. It is well worth reading. This is o ne of those emails that if you didn't send it, rest assured someone on your list will suffer for not reading it. The original message was written by a lady whose brother and his wife learned a hard lesson this past week.
Their house burned down.. ..nothing left but ashes. They have good insurance so the house will be replaced and most of the contents. That is the good news. However, they were sick when they found out the cause of the fire. The insurance investigator sifted through the ashes for several hours. He had the cause of the fire traced to the master bathroom. He asked her sister-in-law what she had plugged in the bathroom. She listed the normal things....curling iron, blow dryer. He kept saying to her, "No, this would be something that would disintegrate at high temperatures". Then her sister-in-law remembered she had a Glade Plug-In, in the bathroom.
The investigator had one of those "Aha" moments. He said that was the cause of the fire. He said he has seen more house fires started with the plug-in type room fresheners than anything else. He said the plastic they are made from is THIN plastic. He also said that in every case there was nothing left to prove that it even existed.
When the investigator looked in the wall plug, the two prongs left from the plug-in were still in there. Her sister-in-law h ad one of the plug-ins that had a small night light built in it. She said she had noticed that the light would dim and then finally go out. She would walk into the bathroom a few hours later, and the light would be back on again. The investigator said that the unit was getting too hot, and would dim and go out rather than just blow the light bulb. Once it cooled down it would come back on.
That is a warning sign. The investigator said he personally wouldn't have any type of plug in fragrance device anywhere in his house. He has seen too many places that have been burned down due to them.

The Frog Story
I just heard s story about a group of frogs who live in Paris. This is a very nice story and I love it for there is a very important meaning behind it. The story goes like this:
One night during a frogs gathering, the frogs decided to do something different from usual. They then decide that they should select a group leader among themselves. But what is the challenge to prove the one suitable for the post?
Since Eiffel Tower was brightly litted at the back, one frog suggested to climb the tower for the view at the top is beautiful. The condition was, the first frog who reaches the top would be elected as the leader. All the frogs were excited and wanted to hold the leadership post. At the blow of the wiesel and all equiped with a parachutte, they started climbing.
After a few floors, the whole group of frogs stop and rest. One frog, frog A spoke up, "This is tiring. I think my stamina is very low due to lack of exercising." Another frog, frog B just nodded in agreement. The same frog then spoke, "How are we to reach the top? This is ridiculous. I think it would be smarter to go down and wait and see who is the stupid one who would be crazy to reach the top." Upon hearing this, a few frogs followed the first frog and climb down to wait.
After the break, the remaining frogs continue their climb. After a few floors, they stop to rest again. This time another frog, frog C spoke up, "This is tiring. This is impossible. Who would be able to climb to the top? I should have listen earlier and climb down." Upon hearing this, a few frogs followed frog C to give up and climb down to wait.
This process continued till there was one frog, frog D left who succeed to climb to the top. When frog D was at the top, it witness the most beautiful view ever seen in Paris. After admiring the beautiful scenary, it jump down with it's parachutte. When it reaches the ground, everyone asked, "How did you do it? What did you eat that makes you strong? What make you continue climbing?"
Frog D just look at them. What do you think it answered?
Frog D didn't say a word for it was deaf and dumb.
What is the moral of this story?
Whatever we do, there is always someone demoralizing us. If we do not listen to them when we have set a goal, we can achieve it. Life is simple but we are the one who make it complicated. The most important is believe in ourselves and believe in what we believe strongly in. It maybe hard but nothing comes easy in life.
As a saying, "Life is Good but Good Life is Expensive." How are we to enjoy our life? For me is work hard and you can achieve it and not just sit and hope you have an easy life and also enjoy. Just like another saying, "Nothing comes free in this world."
One night during a frogs gathering, the frogs decided to do something different from usual. They then decide that they should select a group leader among themselves. But what is the challenge to prove the one suitable for the post?
Since Eiffel Tower was brightly litted at the back, one frog suggested to climb the tower for the view at the top is beautiful. The condition was, the first frog who reaches the top would be elected as the leader. All the frogs were excited and wanted to hold the leadership post. At the blow of the wiesel and all equiped with a parachutte, they started climbing.

Christchurch Day VI
We woke up early and went to church in the morning. We went to the Catholic Cathedral in Ferry Road. So happen we were lucky. The mass we went for is a choral mass. The church choir stood above the altar and was singing beautifully and so with so much feel. They were accompanied by the pipe organ. The organist was wonderful. I would love to experience that mass again in future.
After church, we went back to rest for a while then went out for lunch. We had KFC for lunch under my sister's request. It is bout the same in Malaysia but their coleslaw is different for its sweeter and also the whipped potato is called potato and gravy and it doesn't taste as nice as the one in Malaysia.
After lunch, my sister drove us all to Akaroa. It is about an hour and a half drive also. We are heading to the seaside today. Along the way, we saw cows and horses beside sheeps. The road was winding as we have to cross hills to reach the seaside. My dad was hoping we would bypass the winding road if we use the highway but no such luck. I'm thankful our Malaysia highway is straight and the traffic is divided. The view along the way is beautiful. I haven't seen that much green in my life ^_^
We stop a while at the road side to take pictures from high view. It was an excuse for my dad to stop for my sister was driving very fast and my dad was a bit scare. We then continued on and we reach the small town of Akaroa not long after that. There isn't much people there. We collected some sea shells by the beach. After that we drove to the jetty to have a look. There are some cruise companies there. We went in to ask bout the cruise there. It seems that they only have one session a day since it was the start of Spring. My sister bought 2 penguin eggs there to experiment if penguin would come out -_-" I do not know if its real of fake egg.
Since it was getting dark, my dad say we have to leave for the highway doesn't have lights and it is winding. We reach back bout evening and stop by a few Hypermarket. We went in to buy some chocolates which was on sale, bought biscuits which was on sales and can't be found in Malaysia and some other snacks. Besides that, my sister wanted to buy a birthday card to be send to our cousin Janice for her birthday is coming.
After that we went out for dinner at Lucky Restaurant. The food here is wonderful and it is cheapest Chinese food that we had. We had fried dumplings (which is so big), Siew Yoke (roasted pork), Pak Choi and fish with vegetable. The siew yoke was real good. It taste as good as the one in Malaysia. After dinner, me, my sister and my dad went for a walk around. My sister was to fly back to Australia for her weekend was over. She went and buy something to remember her trip to Christchurch. She bought a shaking sheep.
When we reach the hotel lobby, we took a few photos by the fire place which was beautiful. We then help her pack her things to go back. We had a wonderful family holiday. Even it was a short one but we had fun and it was real good to see my sister since she went for student exchange program earlier this year. She would be coming back by November and I can't wait for her to come back.

Christchurch Day V
We woke up late again today. We got ready and went for lunch in McDonald's. I know it is dumb to go and eat McDonald's when I can eat it in Malaysia. Anyway, there was a special package here in New Zealand. You pay NZ$10 for 2 burgers(McChicken, Filet 'O Fish or Big Mac), a large medium fries and coke. We ordered one of each set and the Big Mac set was a mix and match of a Big Mac and a McChicken.
After lunch, I drove to Mount Hunt which was an hour and a half drive according to the maps. We drove through the country side which is considered the highway. We took pictures along the way. We stopped a while on Rakaia Gorge Bridge where we saw people pushing their boats to the river bank. From there we can see the snowy peak clearer for we are nearer to the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the hill, I thought that we just drive till the resort than sit the cable car up. I was so wrong. Since I volunteer to be the driver of the day, I had to drive up the mountain without knowing how the road was like. My goodness! The road was dirt road and any car which speed up, it would just produce a smoke of dust which make visibility close to zero. The road was only 2 cars wide and there was no railing along the way so it is a step plunge down the hill if I do not concentrate on the road.
My hand froze as we went higher and higher and there was no resting area at all. I drove for the next half hour up the mountain till there was snow on the side of the road. I thought we had reach when I saw a parking area but I was wrong. There was another 5 minutes drive up the step road which now have snow on both side of the road. I pass the keys to my dad for I was too scare to drive on.
When we reach the top, there were a lot of people. Most of them are preparing to descend for it was pass 3pm. We went and have a look at the skiing area and watch people ski down the hill. My sister then look for an area where we can play snow and have a snow ball fight but can't find. My dad then told us that this is the smallest skiing area and it was the nearest to where we are staying. I was kinda disappointed that I can't play with snow but my sister was a fast thinker. She took me to the kiddie skiing area and played snow with me. Unfortunately the snow was hard for it was artificial snow. We had fun anyway.
We then drove back after staying for half an hour. There was a lot of cars going down when we went down so I decided not to drive and let my dad drive. When we reach the bottom, my sister took over for my dad wants her to try driving there. She had a lot of fun driving but complain bout the speed limit. Hahaha... Along the way back, we were looking for a car wash center for there was some mud stains on the car as we were exiting the car park at Mount Hunt. We found one and me and my sister sat in the car as she drove into the auto car wash. She took a video of the entire process in the car but I can't upload it for the file is too big ^_^
Along the way home we say a hypermarket Countdown and bought some junk food. When we came out, it was dark and it was time for dinner. I drove back to town and we look for a place to eat. Since my parents found the Chinese Restaurant, we ended up having Chinese meal most of the time. We went back to Sampan House Restaurant and ordered a delicious meal. We had 3 layer pork meat, Spicy Chicken, Da Pang Chicken, Lou Shun and Pork fried mee.
After dinner we went for a short walk around Cathedral Square before going back for an early rest. While we were in Countdown, we bought a cake to celebrate my dad's birthday. His birthday is not till later in the month but since we are all together, my mum decided to celebrate it earlier. We had a small birthday celebration in the room accompanied by all my sister's soft toys ^_^

Christchurch Day IV
Today me and my sister woke up late. It was close to lunch time when we woke up. When we are ready, we went walking round Cathedral Square and the city center to look for Chinese restaurant for my dad would like to eat rice. As we walk, we discover a lot of interesting shops like a lot of video game shop, arcade (they have Initial D Stage 4), sport shops, adult shops and etc. We were close to give up when we saw Sampan House Restaurant, the place we were searching for ^_^
We then went for dinner since it was getting dark. We went to another Chinese Restaurant but I forgot the name of that shop. We saw it when we were walking back to the hotel after lunch. So we went there and order dinner. There are more students at this restaurant compare to Sampan House but the price is slightly higher than Sampan House. We ordered a mix meat fried rice, a small bowl of white rice, mix vegetables, cashew chicken and one more dish which I forgot what it was -_-" Unfortunately we forgot to take pictures during this meal ^_^
After dinner we walk round Cathedral Square where the Cathedral was beautiful. Then there was a touch like figure there. It was bright along the streets so there was no fear of walking in the dark like in Malaysia. As we walk back to the hotel, we stop to get some chocolates for my sister is like a chocolate addict but she didn't grow fat due to that -_-"
We were so happy and we ordered a nice meal. The waitress was nice. The Asian Chinese there would actually talk to you in Chinese and show you the Chinese menu instead of their main menu. We then ordered satay, pork ribs, broccoli, spicy squid, Chinese dumplings and fried rice. It was delicious ^_^
After lunch we waited for my mum to come back for her conference ends after lunch since its the last day. When she came back, we went to Antarctic Centre for a trip to see the Antarctic Expedition and how it is like in Antarctic. As we enter, the workers took a picture for us. Then in the first room there are some history about the Antarctic used as a based. Right after that there was a stimulator room. It was made to stimulate the weather conditions in Antarctic. It was freezing cold. Bbbbbbrrrrrrrrrr...
After that we went and see the penguins there. They just got some new blue penguins recently and they are personally hand feed by the caretakers there. We got there just when the penguins are being feed. The caretaker would be cradling the penguin and place the tuna fish in their mouth. After the penguin area we went to another part of the expedition area. Here they show the tools used and also tells us more about Antarctic. There was something like the solar system but there was only the Earth and the Sun where it shows how the Earth rotates around the Sun and how often there is sunlight in Antarctic.
Besides that, there was a place where visitors can try on the clothes worn in Antarctic for photo taking session. My sister was excited bout it and took picture of herself wearing one of the coats. As she was busy taking her picture, I saw the box of food that was send to Antarctic. There are all can food and the way it was packed in the box is so compact. The food in that box is actually to cater for bout 4-8 people for one meal.

There was a big screen showing pictures of the Antarctic towards the exit.
There were beautiful pictures where you see snow everywhere and you do not know where you are unless you carry a compass I think ^_^ The pictures of the seals and penguin's are so cute. At the gift shop, my sister can't resist but bought a soft-toy Husky and a cute small Lamb. Currently the Husky is in Australia with her while the Lamb is with me.

Before we left, we took another picture for my brother didn't go in with us at the first time. They are cool in taking the picture for us. We then bought one of the picture set which consist of 2 big pictures, 4 postcards, a CD-Rom on Antarctic and the booklet. They gave us our first copy of the pictures also. They are so kind.
We then head off to Botanic Garden for my mum and sister haven't been there. We took a short walk there and also some photos. It was very cold that evening. We ran about to gain some heat. And yes, we look like idiots for we were the only one doing that in the park besides the small kids. We then came across a big tree where the trunk was low. My sister decided
to climb on it and asked me to take the photo of her on the trunk then also the tree to show how big the tree was -_-"
