Hi folks, I guess most of us here in Malaysia have enough of long festive and public holidays and weekends over the last few weeks. There were the Federal Territory Day on Wednesday 1 February, 2012 in Kuala Lumpur and the Federal Territory of Putrajaya and Labuan. Then there was this Birthday of Prophet Muhammad on Sunday 5 February, 2012 followed by Chap Goh Meh which is the fifteenth day of the Chinese New Year on Monday 6 February, 2012 and finally the Hindu religious Thaipusam on Tuesday 7 February, 2012. The Hindu celebrated Ponggal which was their harvest festival over four days including Monday 16 January, 2012 in Malaysia but it was not a public holiday.
It is great to be living in my beloved (Rasa Sayang) country Malaysia to truly know our ethnic diversity and of getting to know so many friends and of different cultures and traditions. Well some of us like the long weekends and holidays so that we can do the things we like and wanted to do in our lifetime which we may have planned for a long time. As for some, holidays are good time to have reunions and spend quality time with loved ones or fulfilling some promises to bring your children for special treatments since they may done well in their examinations.
Maybe, you could be one just like me who just like to listen to some of the oldies and songs that bring some sweet memories during these holidays. Thanks to so many lovely songs uploaded onto You Tube by our community. I like to thank zoundcracker for the lovely songs shared on You Tube. One of these oldies reminded me of the Hong Kong TV series that my parents and I watched on the rented video tapes back in the eighties.
As for me, I also took time to have good rests but too much of it made me lethargic and not good for the physical health and mind. Now is the time to get back to work and grind. God is good and great as He gives us HOPE of every thing new not just on the New Year of our creeds and cultures but every day. Be it new found prosperity especially for all of you and for the Chinese people who would love for this Dragon Year for it is said that the Chinese are the descendants of the Dragon.
Here are some video clips that I managed to record while on stopover at Genting Highlands Resorts for you to enjoy and to cherish.
I missed a few performances when the dancers were dancing to the Ding Dong Song as my video camera memory card was full.
