Trip to Malaysia

On the 16th of December, my family went to Malaysia to attend my father's Annual Dinner & Dance cum Family Outing. It was held at Sofitel Palm Resort. We reached there at about 5+ pm. After resting in our rooms for a while, it was time to go. There was approximately 300 guests attending. The were several activities going on when we were eating our dinner. It was a fun and light-hearted event.
There was one activity when we had to stand on the chairs and sing Ali Baba. There were also "bidding" and luck draw. In the "bidding" activity, people must used casino chips to "bid" for 'a trip to nowhere', 'washing machine' and 'Gucci shoes'. Actually, they were not for real. We all had a good laugh. We left at 11.30, but the event lasted till 12.30.
The next day was supposed to be check-out day. But we stayed until monday as my cousin's family will be joining us. At about 2+pm, my relatives arrived. Due to the consistent rain, they cannot played golf. We spent time inside the rooms watching TV and playing games.
I was to look after the "children", while the adults went to play golf. I took them to breakfast and went swimming. After the adults came back, it was time to leave. I had a relaxing time there.
However, I lost my watch there. I left my watch on top of the TV before going next door to my brother's room. When I returned to my room in the afternoon, it was gone. My father went to counter to check, but apparently, the maid did not find anything in the room. So, my watch got "stolen". It was not an expensive watch but it was given to me by my aunt.
6 days to Christmas~~Ho Ho Ho

Vacation at Guangzhou

It was cold in Guangzhou. There was a bus to take us to our hotel. Upon reaching the hotel, we were all delighted. At least this time we will be staying in a "real" hotel. But unfortunately, people were allowed to smoke inside the lobby. I was sharing the room with my cousin. The room was just like a typical hotel room.
After a while, we all went to Beijing Road. There were a lot of people everywhere. We walked for hours and our feet were tire out. It was 10+ pm when we went for feet massage. It was a great experience for us. This was my first time having a feet massage.
The second day, we walked around and went shopping. About 5pm, we visited "shang jiu lu and xia jiu lu". The air pollution level was very high as many people were smoking. The streets were filthy and filled with litter. I am so glad to be living in Singapore. That night, we had feet massage again.
We went to various attractions the next day. Our first stop was Wong Fei Hong Memorial Hall. There, we learnt about the history of Wong Fei Hong. Next, we visited Chimelong Xiangjiang Safari Park Guangzhou. The zoo was really big. Their newest attraction is the Koala House. We also saw panda and white lion. At night, we went to Cirque Du Chimelong to watch a circus. It was a good show with live animals like hippo, horses, monkeys and white tiger.
This was our last day in Guangzhou. We went to Dr Sun Yat-Sen's Memorial Hall and 2 other attractions. After that, it was time to go to the airport. We boarded SIA and went back to Singapore. I was not feeling good all the way.
