My New Gaming Era

It's self-explanatory...









...need I say more?

Breakfast at West Lake

Cold Sunday morning... went down to city for Dim Sum (or Yum Cha in Aust term) at West Lake. The nite b4, Ivan, Cin Vin and Slinky stayed overnite at my place. Suppose to go to Shark-Fin House, but we were late so we would have to wait an hour just to get a seat! So sorry to Joanne and her bro (sorry!), Ada and her cousin (sorry forgotten her name also), and J-Ann who were waiting for us!! SO SO sorry... we didn't had enough sleep the nite b4!

However, personally for me West Lake is not a bad place at all... I do think is much better then Shark Fin house. Service is better and more friendly. Food is slightly better too and has lots of variety.



J-Ann eating in "PEACE"! v^^


Our tea-boy... *ahem* I mean tea 'man' = Slinky (Left)







Whoa a SMILEY......



... as happy as our satisfied J-Ann!!



"Phew... these people are some thirsty elephants! I'm exhausted but I've got a good workout on my abs!" -_- hahaha (tht's my creative caption btw)

When oH WHEN?!

Something has been striking me once a while and randomly... especially when I see or hear about weddings.



No no... not talking bout my wedding future here. =p

Wedding to me is a very sacred and awe-inspiring thing. I've never missed or reject any wedding opportunity there is. Everything on wedding day seems so fresh and serene as well. The groom looks all innocent and charming, the bride... simply gorgeous and magnificent. Everyone who attends are full of cheers and smiles as well. I don't know.... it's so hard to explain really on why I like wedding so much. Maybe is the whole event and atmosphere itself, I dunno. A quote from "Elizabethtown" goes: 'Wedding is a celebration of life itself'.

What really bothers me is... I'll be here in Melb for quite a long time, at least 2 years. Lately, there has been many weddings throughout the year. I've been to many weddings before: parent's friends', church friends' and even cousins' and relatives'. The only wedding left in my list to attend is, weddings of my own personal or close friends' whom I know. I've been to many weddings ceremony, holy matrimony and dinner b4, but I've never been to those ceremony... in canto we called it 'jip san liong', which means to 'pick-up the bride' from her home. It's a Malaysian Chinese custom/tradition that is why I don't think there's an English term for it.

Yes, for those who've attended such function or event, you'll know how fun and memorable and emotional such event are. The groom and his MEN will drive over to the bride's home, with her other gurl friends. However it is not as simple as arriving at the home, wishing the bride's parents good morning and then pick her up from the home and blah blah blah. The groom along with his "sidekicks" will have to please the bride's HOST/Guards of honour/whatever you wanna call it, by playing games, entertaining and humiliate the men and the groom especially until the gurls are satisfied. The aim/goal of the groom is to gain access to the house so he can get his bride in her room. =*)

I've always and still am waiting for the opportunity to attend such event. Once awhile while looking through friends or other people's profile or blogs or hear stories, a huge emotion of envy and a lil sadness will consume me. So to all my friends who are engaged or getting married soon... PLEASE PLEASE wait till after 2 years (after 2010), then only get married can. Most importantly... give me an invitation card and not to forget to call/invite me to be humiliated as well!!!
