More food galore!!!

It's weird.

Whenever i think of the food i miss in Sg now,

the first thing that came to my mind was vegetarian food.


.........................................................

Anyhowzz....

more pictures that may make you drool coming up.



sushi!!!!!!

I love sushi!!!

Especially sushi with creamy avocado :p



Singapore laksa.

A must eat everytime i go back to Sg.

Love it!


豆花 with 豆花水 and glutinous rice balls!

Very very very niceeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now i have a craving for glutinous rice balls :(




I did not get to eat mooncake last year.

So i have to get some to satisfy my cravings :p

I miss the XO mooncake in snowskin by Raffles hotel and those teochew yam mooncake!!!

And how can one miss out on the traditional nasi lemak,

wrapped and shaped like a pyramid in a banana leave?




Nasi lemak originates from Malaysia i think.

Best parts of nasi lemak are the chilli and coconut&pandan rice.

I don't know about you but my mouth's watering already!

Up next,

Vegetarian roast pig


This tasted so good!!

Dipped in sweet sauce and wrapped in fresh lettuce with a piece of crunchy cucumber.

Claypot tofu with mix veg.

豆苗 (dou miao)

The big day has arrived


And so the most anticipated day of the year has arrived...



Everyone woke up early with bright smiles on their faces and big Ang Baos (red packets) in their pockets LOL

Ok to those who don't know the Chinese traditional marriage (which has also been 'modified' along the years),

here's the jest of it.

The groom, together with his groomsmen,

will set off early in the morning to 'obtain' the bride.

And in order to do that,

they will first have to pass the 'tests' set by the bridesmaids before allowing the groom to see his bride.

Make sense?

Back in the olden days,

(quote from the internet)

"firecrackers, loud gongs and drums marked the start of the procession from the groom’s home.

The groom led the procession accompanied by a child as an omen of his future sons, and the bridal sedan chair was proceeded by attendants with lanterns and banners, musicians, and a ‘dancing’ lion or unicorn. "

That is no longer the way things are done nowadays.

On arriving at the bride’s house, the groom’s party was met by the bridesmaids, who would not ‘surrender ’the bride until they were satisfied by the amount of money in the red packet given by the groom.

This was the occasion of much good-natured haggling before the two parties could reach an agreement.

The bridesmaids will only allow agree to lower the amount of money in the red packet if the gloom and groomsmen complete the tasks given to them.

Tasks given to the guys:

- A cup of lemon juice (no sugar/water added)

- a cup of sweetened condense milk

- bitter herbal tea

- wasabi sandwiches

- pole dancing

- pushups

hhmmm i think that's all.

So he finally get to see his bride and bring her home for the tea ceremony.

Anyway, picture means a thousand words.

So just look at the photos.

(or you can say that i'm lazy to type :p )


Arrival of the beautiful bride...

The tea ceremony...
My cousin playing with my hair.


She looked gorgeous in that cheongsum!


@ the dinner ballroom

The door gift (sauce dish)

My niece

Solemnisation in process...

This is suppose to be the 'I announce you husband and wife' shot!

When i was about to take that shot,

POP went the party poppers.

I jumped and TADA...

that's the resulting shot.

-_-"

Yes...laugh at me...laugh...



Speech of the day...



i just have to post up this photo.

Who's the one in the white jacket ar...?

Lion King wannabe??

Dunno him ar...

With that,

the busy day has ended but a new chapter of life has just begun for the newlyweds.

Not much 'saboing' (tricks or games) during the dinner.

People just concocted some brownish, weird looking drink for him to drink.

Then it's my turn to get busy...

IELTS test in a week!!!

Gosh...

my brother's big day

It was my brother's big day yesterday.
We were all busy running around,
buying the necessary stuffs,
making sure everything's well prepared.
Although all i did was to accompany my mom everywhere to buy things,
i can feel the 'after-effects' of going out every single day.
Very tiring wor...

Of course it can't be compared to the newly wedded.
All the months and months of planning and preparations, yet still having to work.
Whats worse...having to hold your smile throughout the whole day.
Ask me to smile for the camera for more than a couple of minutes and i can feel my smile trembling.
muahahaha

If i were to get married in future,
i'll choose the easy way out.
ROM (the usual solemnisation), tea ceremony then a buffet.
TADA...all done.
No grand wedding dinner.
Save the energy, time and money for my honeymoon.
Any unnecessary conflicts may be avoided too.

(^_^) _\/

Photos up soon!


Before i end this entry,
I would like to wish the newly weds - my brother, and sister-in-law


A house full of sunshine,
Hearts full of cheer,
Love that grows deeper,
Each day of the year.


And maybe i get to carry junior KC/Jo (or maybe even both?) on my next trip back?
heehee
