Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Lui!



Attended Carol's tie-the-knot party at Xi Yan, a fine dining restaurant by a Hong Kong celebrity chef. I totally love.. the food! The bride was dressed in undergarments! Corset and ken ken.. so cute! Oh.. and wedding favors were coke bottles with their name on the labels. Sheryln and Me have become the endorsers.. dun believe check out carol's wedding webby!

Many a times, i would leave the wedding dinner feeling hungry as I'm kinda sick of the same dishes served at weddings. But this time round I left feeling full! I was captivated by the dishes served as they were totally different.

The meal started with chicken soup with gingko and beancurd skin. It is actually a broth that is made with chicken, gingko and beancurd. the gingko and beancurd have been cooked till its melted and blends with the goodness from the juices of the chicken. A wonderful appetizer as its light on the tummy.

Next up is their house speciality. Green house tomato with wasabi sesame sauce. the tomatoes are huge and are specially imported from Japan. Slurp...

Abalones are next. They're one of my favourite food, i think.. kekekeke.. its a tradition for me to have it every cny and in weddings. The abalones served at Xi Yan were on some sea shells that both Sherlyn and I kept as souvenirs. I think we're the only guest who did that but its ok.. we're the only ang kong kias there anyway!

The next 3 dishes that follows are my favourite good. Maybe that is why i ate every dish of the party! Peppercorn prawns (which is not at all spicy), Cherry pork (which is basically like dong po rou... Loads of collagen) and Salted eggs toufu... Yummyy!!! One of these days i will try to make the salted egg toufu for my family to try.. seems achievable and it tasted really good!

Fried rice with chinese ham and black truffle was so so... I always feel fried rice all taste the same other than salted fish fried rice which will taste much more saltish. The fish in shrimp paste on pomegranate salad was unique. The fish was coated with shrimp paste before deep-frying. Pomegranate salad helps take away the oily feeling of the fish.. thoroughly refreshing!


By the time the Lotus leaf chicken with salted vege came, i was really really full. Gave it a miss..

Oh... Sherlyn was really excited over the dessert! We were served water chestnut sorbet with bird's nest shooters. The sorbet was yumming with crunchy chestnut in them.

The party being a lunch, gave us the rest of the Sunday to laze about at Vivo... we basically catch up/bitched at pacific coffee... Ahhhh what a lovely sunday...

I'm now old.....

And Wrinkly~!!! Stinky 28 has caught up with me! :P

It's gona be a good year seeing that Blogger is working on my home PC. It's been out of order for a week! BOoooo.....

Photo Galore! Not going to put them into a page coz I feel they deserve to be presented in its original form.

Celebrations starts on Friday 7th August 09 with the colleagues.
Fabulous company on my birthday lunch at a Japanese Restaurant in International Plaza. Collagen infused soup!









And the long awaited scrapbooking! I am officially HOOKED!
Even Ro enjoyed himself. Being the only guy in the class, I noticed the teacher gave him slightly more attention and that is good! He loves it and said he wouldnt mind going for the intermediate class with me.. HORRAY!!!


His (with Buttons) & Mine (with Flowers)

Mum said his is much more vibrant and nicer.. POoohhhh....


His & Mine.. mine is all straight, Prim & Proper juz like my character.. LOL...

Anyway we went for Santouka after the class! My favourite ramen place..
I'm a avid fan of ramen and so far, no other place can manage to win Santouka's place in my heart! :)


Guess where I went for my bdae? It's marina barrage!

OMG.. I almost didn't get to go there! We waited about 45 mins for the shuttle bus (wished we had a car at that time) and Mr Ro was practically dripping in his sweat! Grouchy and irritated as he is, nobody dares to talk to him! He maintained his grouchy attitude all the way till dinner which is at 6pm, thus the un-smiling photos that you see! Kekekekekeke...



I totally have to rave about the 7th storey restaurant. I'm not sure if its coz I'm so freaking hunger after the tour, or that it really taste like the oldie hainanese taste close to my heart. But the hainanese pork chops are GOOD! Just like the one i used to go to next to raffles hotel! (We always go there.. I went there even before i was born!)Yummylicious! Must try okay? Its at the marina barrage :)

All in all a very very happy day (despite the hot hot hot weather and the minor squabbles we have due to the weather). Even mr button was happy! He was estatic when everyone adjorned to my house for cake cutting :)

Pardon the oily face during my cake cutting, whole day out in the sun does that to me.
And hor, I love my dress although I had to force myself to squeeze it in!
And and hor, I take back my word about not consolidating all in a page, really so many photos I wan to show that I have to put them into a page if not I'll die out of exhaustion trying to load the pictures onto blogger :P
O Ya, last one, photos at Santouka with Ro in his hp coz my cammie died on me. Shame on you cammie! so we just have to wait for him to send me.

PS: Mr Ro, u see i arrange the coke cups around my cake just like your birthday photo when you were young! Coke cups replacing the vitagen you had :P

My Early Early Birthday Celebration



Went to JB with Ro on Saturday. It's been ages since I last went in and I'm in need of new shoes! (Oops!)I mean it's been ages since I last saw Uncle & Auntie and I'm missing them! :P

Uncle & Auntie gave me a treat at my favourite dinning place in Malaysia. Seafood at Sentosa! My Favourite favourite butter crayfish! 1st on my seafood list! (2nd is Salted egg yolk crab)

And hor, after dinner uncle insisted on getting me a cake. He even have to come up with the excuse of having cravings for cake just to get us to agree in getting one. Whahahaha.. That's how mean we are!



Very ugly pictures coz halfway thru the cake cutting my right eye became really red with irritation. See! I even had to change to specs to enjoy my cake!

I'm thankful that I have great future parents-in-law! :)

Last but not least, presenting my new sandals!
