We did not book any hotel for the 5th night. Also, on the 5th day, we went to Berastagi.
This is what we had for breakfast — Pancakes with Cheese.
Took a picture with the owner before we left.
We took the boat across. When we reached there, our driver (we hired a driver to fetch us there) took us to a few places along the way.
On the 3rd day, we checked out from Bagus Bay hotel and switched to Thyesza Inn. We stayed there for 2 nights. Dad wanted to make this trip interesting, so we switched to different hotels. And in this trip, we stayed in 3 different hotels!!

Went to Lake Toba for vacation on 27th May 2011 to 1st June 2011 with family and dad’s friend, Uncle Yao, together with his family. It was really relaxing and I had an enjoyable time there. We did a lot of activities there like cycling around Tuk-tuk town, plucked corn, horse riding, horse carriage riding, played pool, etc… The people there were very friendly and it’s nice staying among them. The place was cooling, not to mention the water was freezing when we bathe. The food were delicious as well. Although the food in some of the restaurants were very salty, but overall, it taste good!!
I took a lot of pictures of the trip, as usual… But this time there’s an additional thing for you enjoy. Guess what?? There’s a video too!! So, you can enjoy seeing the pictures and also enjoy watching the video! This is my 1st time filming and my 1st time editing video, making it into a movie (slideshow). Will post the video below. Don’t forget to leave your comment.

First of all, I know the last post I wrote in my blog was around a month ago. Sorry that I haven’t been blogging recently and some of you have been urging me to update my blog. Well, finally I’ve found the mood to do it (hehe…). I guess you all know from the title above, that I’m gonna write about my 19th birthday in this post!! (^.^) I had an awesome birthday and I’ve been enjoying myself for the entire day!! Well, there were surprises here and there, good and not-so-good (I wouldn’t say bad cuz it was not that bad), but overall, it was still AWESOME!! So here’s what happened on the 10th of March 2011….
A few minutes before the clock strike 12, the electricity went off!! Surprised from TNB!! *LOL* more…
There is a song called “Enchanted” by Taylor Swift and it seems that she wrote it for Adam Young (from Owl City). Then, a few days ago (if I’m not mistaken), there was another version of “Enchanted” sung by Adam Young and it was a respond to Taylor’s Enchanted. It’s almost the same but some of the words in the lyrics were edited and he posted it in http://owlcitymusic.com/vday/ . I find that really sweet. So, for those who haven’t seen the video or listen to the song yet, here it is!
This is Taylor’s version
And this is by Adam Young. =)
[I know the message on the video is hard to read. So, go to the website I mention above to read it. (^.^)]
I hope you enjoy both of the songs. They are simply AMAZING!! I love the last part of Adam’s version. 
Year 2010 is now come to its end. I just gotta say that 2010 is an awesome year for me. I’ve learnt and experience a lot of new things this year. There were definitely a lot of “1st time”s in this year.
1) It’s my 1st year in college and it has been awesome. There are 2 semesters this year and I enjoyed both of the semesters. I get to learn new things and make new friends.
2) If you read my blog often, you’ll know that I don’t really like arts when I was young as I’m not good at it. I’m more towards Science. So, this is my 1st time I actually studied arts throughout the year. Surprisingly, I really enjoy it. Although, I’m not good at it in Semester 1, but I can see improvements in this semester and my results have improved too. I really thank God for His guidance everyday and in every class. I couldn’t have done it without Him. I don’t have any C’s in my results this semester. Praise God for that! more…
It’s Christmas day and it’s also my brother (Amos) ‘s 16th birthday. Went church for Christmas service this morning. After that, my dad took us to Evergreen Laurel Hotel for buffet and also to celebrate Amos’ birthday. The food there was not bad, or maybe it was because I was hungry that time. Anyway, it’s the 1st time Amos had buffet in the hotel and he was excited even the day before we went. Here are some pictures taken using iPhone 3Gs.
Went for youth camp on the 12th December to 15th December and the theme for this year is Generation R (Generation Revolution). It was held in Harvest Haven, Gopeng, Ipoh and I really enjoyed myself there. I get to meet new friends and at the same time, bond closer with my old friends. You know, get to know them even more. It was really amazing and there were 3 salvations too! Praise God!! The speaker was Pastor Joshua and I really like his sermon. Okay, enough talking… It’s time for videos and pictures as they speak louder than words. The videos you’re about to see, were taken by Wilson Moy and most of the pictures were taken by Ru Sern and Qing Ling as we left our cameras and phones in our room most of the time. About the videos, Wilson used his iPhone 4 and also an application called “iMovie” to create this awesome video.

As you can see from the topic above, this post is for my cg (cell group) friends. I really thank God that He bless me with such friends. They always encourage me when I need it and they’re always there for me. So, to all my cg friends, if you’re reading this, I would like to say THANK YOU for everything.
Did modeling just now in college for the 1st time. Wondering how did I get into it? Well, I was actually helping a friend who is in Fashion Department and her assignment was to design any clothes with any materials and find someone to be her model on the runway. I was nervous because I’m not used to so many people looking at me and the heel of the shoes is quite high, which I hardly wear such high heels. Anyway, when the emcee explain to all of us about how many times should we pose and stuff like that, I was actually shaking because people were starting to crowd around the exhibition hall, waiting to see the fashion show. The first round was only the models where each models must walk the runway with 3 poses. And the second round was the models together with their respective designers. I was nervous at first, but after a while, I kinda had fun. My designer, Rose’s concept was Floral and I like her design! All of the designers’ design on the fabric was not made from cloth like the ones we all wear everyday, but it was made from old fabric and tissue paper with gum? (If I’m not mistaken). So, it’s actually hard and has the shape of it already. Okay, enough talking. Time for the pictures!!
Me & my designer, Rose. The outfit in this picture was design and made by her. The brown sticks was actually real. Everything on this outfit is either glued or sew. =) more…
