Poor Little William!

It has been big news for the country for the missing child, Little William whom aged 6 only for more than a week. Since the child has missing, besides the policemen, many companies and societies were helping to find for this missing kid by various channels, e.g. spreading the news on FB, distributing the leaflets and even advertising on the websites of some of the banks. Overall, most of the people were very concerned about this missing child.

The mother of the missing child even apologised to the public for her carelessness for causing the child missing. Some people were scolding the parents of little William for their carelessness and some felt pity for them. Overall, this has made big news in the country.

However, about 2 days ago, there was news on this missing child, little William. It was sad news instead. The decomposed body of a child had found in the river of Port Klang, and the parents of the little William had gone to check on this body. The result was 75% shown it was the missing child, little William. But it still had to wait for the post-mortem result for the confirmation. According to the news, when the body was found, the eyes were missing. It was really sad to hear such bad and sad news.

It is wondering now if this poor little William being kidnapped and killed, or was he accidentally fall into the river?! No matter what had happened to this poor little child, he had gone already and may he would RIP. May his family would stay strong! Anyway, this case could be used as a reference for all the parents as DO NOT LEAVE your children behind and ALWAYS STAY TOGETHER with your children with you wherever you go with your children. God Bless!!!

My first card from Bhutan!!!

Wow! It is my first postcard from Bhutan. Bhutan, is rated as one of the happiest country of the world. I am very glad to receive the Bhutan postcard from Tashi on 22/1/2013.

 

The postcard shows the view of its capital, Thimphu. According to Tashi, the building in the card houses are the houses of some ministries and also of the King. Tashi is a government staff, thus her office is also next to it but it did not show in the card! Haha! :P

 

Tashi writes that it is winter time in Bhutan now and it has very cold mornings and nights. She hopes that I like this card. Well, I would like to tell Tashi that I LOVE this card as it is very beautiful. It is definitely one of my top list for the favourite postcards. Moreover, I wish that I would be able to travel to Bhutan someday to see this happy country! Tashi, thank you very much for your beautiful postcard!!! :)

Chinese New Year is Coming!!!

"Dong Dong Chan! Dong Dong Chan! Gong Xi Gong Xi Ni Ya Gong Xi Ni!!!"

 

When we hear the lyrics above of the Chinese New Year song and also see the mandarin oranges either in mini sizes and/or in boxes selling at the supermarkets and/or roadside, we know that the Chinese New Year is coming soon!

 

Yes, the Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year is coming in less than a month. It is fall on the 10/2/2013. This year, it is the year of Snake. All the Chinese are busy cleaning the houses and do the preparations to celebrate the Chinese New Year lately. New clothes, new electrical appliances, cookies, etc.. Overall, busy for the shopping spree.

 

The kids will be the happiest during the Chinese New Year, as they could have receive Ang Pows from the elders, wearing new clothes, eat and drink as much as they like. Some adults also will put on weight during the CNY due to they stay at home to rest and eat and drink much more than their usual days! Haha! For me, I will not put on weight as I did not eat much. :P

 

Some people are going to holidays during the CNY due to this is the only time they can have long holidays and spend time with their family. In a few years back, I was went to overseas for travelling with my mother during the CNY. But I would not do so for this time as I would take some rest.

 

Anyway, I would like to wish you all to have a Happy & Prosperous Chinese New Year.
