McKinney Dickens Festival

 
The downside of living in the city during Christmas is you don’t get to attend old fashioned Christmas festivals such as the McKinney Dickens festival in Texas.

The downtown McKinney’s premier festival is a joyous festival complete with Victorian atmosphere where there are horse drawn carriages, strolling carolers, Santa Claus and Christmas tree lighting. But most important of all is that the festival has a snow tubing hill. Isn’t it great?! I love snow tubing! It’s exhilarating! It’s an excellent activity for the family but i must warn you to be careful because it might get really bumpy down the hill. Hold on tight!

Anyways, there will be all kind of fun activities for all ages. There will be wonderful restaurants and shops around for everyone too enjoy during the holiday season. During December, the opening hours of the shops in McKinney will also be extended. Customers could take this opportunity to finish up the Christmas shopping at the many bookstores, boutiques, galleries and gifts shops around the town. Who knows what great gifts you might be able to find for your loved ones.

McKinney Dickens starts on the 28th November as a kick start to Christmas in December. Don’t miss the good food and old charm of the Dicken’s era!

Shah Rukh Khan, Kejora, Melamine = Incompetance

 
I have so many complaints about the things going on in the country. Ridiculous, unimportant stuffs that makes me slap my forehead and go “Not another bull’s dropping!” after reading the newspaper and then laugh hysterically.

First it’s Shah Rukh Khan getting Datukship, now it’s changing Jalan Alor into Jalan Kejora. Man, these people have too much idle time on their hands.

I gotta give it to them for initiative lor. Rather than swatting flies or digging their noses, i guess they got together for a Bollywood popcorn night out and were in awe with Shah Rukh Khan’s acting. And instead of scratching their bums and staring into space with nothing else to do, i guess they got together and thought of ideas on how to destroy the countries beautiful road names by changing it into fugly names nobody knows the meaning to it anyways lor. It’s a great way to kill time. Highly recommended.

First of all i think i deserve a Datukship more than Shah Rukh Khan. Read my post on Melaka… and Penang. See, i promoted 2 places in Malaysia instead of one. You’ve got to admit it right? My post about Melaka is better than a stint in the Melaka golf course right? At least i mentioned the name of the state many, many times in my post. Hmm… maybe if i drive to Melaka today, get a shot of the golf course and post the photo on my blog, i would qualify to be a Datuk… yeah, definitely a big maybe… *wakaka!

And about DBKL changing Jalan Alor into Jalan Kejora. Wtf lor. What does changing road names into star names have got to do to revamping the place? Nothing! I like Jalan Alor the way it is. Why change it? They’re killing history and the country’s travel industry lor. It took so many years for Jalan Alor to become so famous among locals and tourist, now they erased it just like that.

Where’s the petition? I want to sign.

You know my street is named Jalan Chiak Padang. How fugly is that? First requirement of getting a job in DBKL: Bad taste.

I’ve been craving for dairy products just as soon as there are news that some dairy products might contain high level of melamine in Malaysia. So, i did not dare to consume any dairy products from any brands just to be safe.

You know what, KidCheng checked the Ministry of Health‘s website and found a list of products that are risky. And you know what? Most of those products are still on the shelves of supermarkets and even 7-eleven. There are even advertisements on TV.

Why aren’t those being recalled? It’s confusing that’s what it is. Somebody should do something or else i would have to print the list every few days before grocery shopping. Ridiculous ler.
