Honestly, I do not celebrate Christmas Day as I am not a Christian. Anyway, I did not waste such a day in Kuching. Together with my friends, I went out for the whole day. XD
It all started during the first second of 25th December. In my room, I was able to see the firecrackers through the windows. It was awesome. Beautifully presented. ^^V Moreover, the firecrackers show was continuous for almost 15 minutes! How much they have spent on this, I wonder. Anyway, I believe everyone enjoyed watching that especially those celebrating it as Christmas is a grand festival for them. Surprisingly, after the scene on firecrackers, I received 3 presents from my roommate, William. Wow, it was not expected. His parents sent the presents through the post. Thanks so much, William and his family. Merry Christmas!!!Later, I headed to the common lounge to continue watching the movie shown. It was about the zombies... "Shanghai Noon" continued after that. Due to the tiredness, I went to sleep reluctantly. It was already 1.30am.
Consequently, I woke up at about 10am this morning. Hehe... Wasting the time on lining, I realised that it was about 1pm. Time to visit a friend, Zachery's home. A group of us went there by Ah Cheng's and Zach's cars. His house was a wooden house but with 2 Astros. LOL..."Kampung" life is not bad. The air is refreshing and I was quite surprised to find such a house in Kuching. No offence, Zach. Nonetheless, we were given a warm welcome and served with a variety of delicious food. Yummy! Thanks Zach and his family. The most unique dish is the chicken cooked with wine and tea leaves. Delicious for the Sarawakians but not for the West Malaysians. The taste is a bit weird as we are not get used to it. May be it will take time for us to like it. XD One more, it was durian! First time tasting the local Sarawak durian, I will just say nice!!!
I love Zach's cousin. She is very chubby and fat. She can laugh loudly and non-stop. What a child! We then left the house at 5.30pm and went back to the hostel.
After an about one hour rest, Wei, Vincent, Boon and I went out again for our dinner. We went to MCJ Batu Kawa as a food and fun fair is held there. It is called the "Fabulous Food 1 Malaysia". Actually, I just knew this through Vincent just now though this fair was started on 1st December. XD
Filling up the stomach, we went walked around the shops there. There are a lot of clothes' shops and I managed to buy a cheap T-shirt. Tired and exhausted, we reached our hostel.One phrase to conclude today's activities: Simple but quite enjoyable. Again, to those who celebrate Christmas, merry Christmas!
Finishing the mid-term on last Tuesday, we headed to the cinema again by virtue of to relieve the tension on the next day. Wow, how many movies have I watched for the past few months. Whatever, "Avatar" was our choice that day!
A brief synopsis I took from the Internet Movie Database:The story's protagonist, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), is a former Marine who was wounded in combat on Earth and paralyzed from the waist down. He is selected to participate in the Avatar program, which will enable him to walk again. Jake travels to Pandora, a lush jungle-covered extraterrestrial moon filled with incredible life forms, some beautiful, many terrifying. Pandora is also home to the Navi, a sentient humanoid race that is physically stronger than humans, although considered primitive. Standing three meters tall, with tails and sparkling blue skin, the Navi live in harmony with their unspoiled world. As humans encroach deeper into Pandora's forests in search of valuable minerals, the Navi unleash formidable warrior abilities to defend their threatened existence. Jake has unwittingly been recruited to become part of this experiment. Since humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora, they have created genetically-bred human-Navi hybrids known as "Avatars" . The Avatars are living, breathing bodies that are controlled by a human "driver" through a technology that links the driver's mind to the Avatar body. On Pandora, through his Avatar body, Jake can walk . He is sent deep into Pandora's jungles as a scout for the soldiers who will follow, and encounters many of Pandora's beauties and dangers. He also meets a young Navi female, Neytiri, whose beauty is matched only by her ferocity in battle. Over time, Jake integrates himself into Neytiri's clan, and begins to fall in love with her. As a result, Jake finds himself caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth, and the Navi, forcing him to choose sides in an epic battle that will decide the fate of an entire world.Watching at 10.45pm, we finished it at 1.30am. For the first time, I watched a late movie like this. We reached hostel about 2pm. One word to describe us: tiring. Despite the tiredness, we all felt that Avatar is a great movie. I extremely love the graphics and sound effects. They are well done and produced. I enjoyed watching the picturesque scenery in the new palnet called Pandora. It is magnificent! Applause for the production team!!!We are all referred as the sky people by the Navi group. These sky people are the ones who invade their motherland in order to exploit a certain resource in their areas. Of course, the Navi tribe does struggle to protect their land. For me, Jake has made the right choice to help the Navi. Well, maybe we as humans should not be so greedy. Just appreciate what we own.Conclusion: A amazing movie that you should not miss!Spending Wednesday night on movie, we further enjoyed ourselves on Thursday night. >.<We really forgot completely about the two hard subjects! The MPW- "Mata Pelajaran Wajib" which my friend will call them "Making People Worried". XDGoing out to dinner with Ah Cheng's car, we then went to his house. Wah, his house is so large and rich! O.O Jun described it as a castle! Haha... Since there was nothing to do, we just played Mahjong while the other two had their eyes on the television. HAIZ... That was not my day! I lost 6 matches consecutively. T.T Luckily we did not bet with money. :p
Reluctantly, we went back to the hostel again. It was a downpour on our journey back to hostel. All of us got so excited and screamed when the car drove past and the water splashed high up. =.=" By the way, thanks Ah Cheng!Time is getting closer to the final examination as well as the holidays. But a lot of hurdles are needed to be overcome like the assignments, the presentations and the examinations. I dislike each and every of them. With the remaining 3 weeks, I really hope that I can cope well with all these, reduce my time spent to online or facebook and score good results for the two subjects! Hopefully...Well, it is the end already. Again, go watch Avatar! I'm loving it~
