This picture is dedicated to Mr Lam, whom birthday is today...
Thought of getting a piece of cake & take a photo of it... Here's a fake cake, yeah.. Obviously a towel cake. *Actually it's a Christmas gift from my sweet friend Deb*
A photo of a 'cake' for you, birthday boy. HAPPY BIRTHDAY~ Till we meet again, ya~ Probably i'll give you a cake treat by then, if you insist. :）
The weather has been cloudy or rainy for the past few days, it's enjoying to see clear blue sky. Even though it means rather hot weather... :)
*and you can hear thunder outside now...*
Reached quite early about dinner time at Tropicana.
Walked past this Korean reataurant with the name “Kimchi” and it made me crave for good kimchi so I went in and gave it a try.
Ordered a sizzling beef meal... Quite nice, tender beef... the kimchi provided is seriously nice~
After a pampering month of 4 working days a week, TODAY is the brand new day for working adults, and brand new school semester for school kids~!! No more public holidays till CNY...
♭♪♩ This is the day that the God has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it...♩♪♩ * Ok, don't hit me~! *
Sister has officially started her new job as a teacher as in today, while kiddy officially starts his kindergarten. Kiddo starts his standard 3 as well~ Everyone’s back to school!
Me, as the usual, stayed at home and spent my day reading through Time Traveler's Wife. Been lagging for some time so I just think it's about time to continue with it and starts with a new book after this.
Nothing much happening... Then when aunt came home with a car full of baking ingredients, and I realise it's time for New Year COOKIE baking~ Anyone interested to place some orders? *Price list & photos will be up soon*
Day 4 of 365project:
A masquerade mask aunt brought back for the kids to play... I guess it's from New Year party..
今天是二堂哥的大日子，人家娶新娘啦！ 他是我们萧家同辈中第一个结婚的，所以也是全家必出席的大日子啊~ Today is my cousin's BIG day. It's kinda big day for our whole Sew family because he's the first of our generation to get marry~
新人上个星期已经公证了，今天是娶新娘过门、拜祖先、敬茶等华人传统仪式。They've officially registered last week so today is the Chinese wedding & tea ceremony thingy where they serve tea to the elders of the family.
我爸爸身为二叔，当然也是座上嘉宾咯。My dad as the uncle, was being served tea…
至于我们这一些未婚小辈呢，就是向新人们讨红包的那一些（这一环节我今天才知道，而且我还以为我们得敬茶给新人，结果都不用）。不过这样就有一个利是入袋了，也是好事一桩（而且还是在新年的开始耶）！ 哈哈，开始欣赏这繁琐的传统敬茶仪式咯~ As for us, younger cousins (consider “siblings”), will get ang pao from the newly weds instead. Haha... Starting to love this tea ceremony thingy.
总而言之，恭喜啦！Congratulations, my cousin~

2010的第一天，跟小姨一家人到了Perlama的某个河边餐馆吃午餐...此时是退潮的时候，可以看到riverbed...
远看还挺有feel的一张照片，可是近看的话...可发觉对岸的河床都是垃圾...
泥泞中的娃娃鱼和螃蟹，看见了吗？ 突然觉得这些鱼和螃蟹可怜，可是也不免佩服他们的生命力，这样的环境仍然可以生存！
不知道他在看什么... 连这样的风景也可以看得那么入神... 未来的孩子还有美景可以看吗？
在等待食物之余，我们泡了小姨从台湾带回来的阿里山高山茶。闻起来味道有点像铁观音...
皮蛋鱼粥上来啦~ 好好吃呗！ 看小孩子都吃得很享受咧~
