Halo | Congrats to Mindy & Eric ^^

Congrats to Mindy and Eric! It was a sunny (real sunny!) garden ROM at Carcosa Seri Negara on 19th November 2011 *my first garden wedding, paiseh* The sky was blue and sun was HOT! And everything went perfectly fine.

The theme was East Meets West. Love the decor!


The signing session was done in a simple way and sealed with a kiss ^^

Food was glorious! Would love to wallop the smoked salmon, but I can't *boohoo! I ate everything else, I think... Door gift was adorable ~ didn't have a heart to eat those cute cupcakes...

And here is my creation! Hehehe! She wanted to use her Polaroid and I just showcased it Ala Chinese feel. I love those red pegs!

And as all fairy tale ends... They lived happily ever after ^^

Trippin | Hǎo Chī?

Well... I have no comment on the food there. I think I'm too used to Malaysian food where there are burst of flavors in 1 dish. In China, depending which province you're in, you can taste something different. But they like to keep it to 1 flavor. I admit... I really missed the nasi lemak, hokkien mee and roti canai here. There is no comparison ^^

I managed to tried whatever I can in China ~~ it's a bit oily tho... I'm not a fan of 'tung po yuk' aka fatty pork. And the 'siu loong pau' is not that great. But I kinda liked their normal pau =) The veggie and porky pau. Neh... those cheap cheap ones ^^

Here's the menu ^^

Braised Mee - yummy!

Nan Xiang's superior soup &'siu loong pau'

Cantonese dishes

Japs food for a change ~ tastes GOOD ^^

We tried HK dim sum too

Hairy Crabs was in season ~ too bad I couldn't have it -(

Last but not least ~ 'ping thong woo lou'

Trippin | Nie Hao!

So, what I have to say for China? Hmmm... There's still hope with the new generation. I, for one don't think I'll be going to China any soon. Now, don't get me wrong. The place is nice with the scenery. But I still think they are a bit rude (sometimes, mostly the elderly) The young ones are more polite. And the spitting... You can't runaway from it. All the old ones are doing it everywhere!

Here's how it went ~ Suzhou - Hangzhou - Shanghai. It was really tiring. So, I think it's better to follow a tour to China. It's more easier. But you won't get a chance to see their true culture =) An eye opener, even for me as a Chinese ^^

But I salute to their public transport, the trains and LRT are great! I think for this trip I've taken all the transport except the bus. Taxis are abundance! But make sure to get on those metered ones. There a lot of illegal 'taxi' fishing for tourist.

Here's Suzhou and Hangzhou. Scenery are kinda same =p


The city ~ Shanghai... Real cold night there...


And here's for fun ^^

Halo | Heading to Shanghai!

Yes. I think this song explains it all ^^ Heading to China. Yes. With my baby bump ^^ Taking my baby to Melbourne first, now Shanghai ^^ Yes. It is safe. Just have to take care of what I eat and rest more ^^

Halo | 13 weeks ++

Halo | Jay ^^

Waiting for his latest album! Woohoo!!!

Halo | Hello World ^^

Hmmm... How do I start? Or maybe I just smack some photos here? Hehehe...

"hello"

Following the tradition, we're not supposed to tell the whole wide world about our bundle of joy *shy* But HEY! It's 3 months down the road and approaching the second trimester =)

Thanks GOD I was blessed with non-vomiting pregnancy! Even the doc say that GOD is being good to me =) But another fear is I'll be gaining lotsa weight. But till now, still maintaining. As for my food fascination, to my surprise it didn't change a bit. Woohoo! Downside would be no sashimi, no steamboat, no 'see ham' in my curry mee or charkueh teow... Well, but at least I love to have more veggie and fruits =)

So, there you have it! I'm being a MOM and he's being a DAD! And he already asked "when can I start holding the kid?" OMG! Is he over-excited? LOL!

Screen | English & McQueen

Time to catch up on the screens before it goes down. Please bear in mind that this is not the priority movie that I wanted to watch ~ Johnny English: Reborn. I wanted to watch Smurf... But sigh...

So, gotta watch Mr Bean. It was one word ~ Funny. And I rest my case =)

My second choice ~ Cars 2! Luckily it's still on! I loved it! Ka-Chow! I think the second one has more action to it. With more involvement of Mater, the tow truck. McQueen is still being the best racer. But this time you'll get to see more Mater! Very FUN indeed =)
