Calvin & Joreen Wedding Day

We (my family) went to Calvin's house as early as 9 am and discovered he had left to fetch the bride and be back before 10 am for the 'yum cha' ceremony. Uncle Richard, Aunt YC, Aunt May & uncle Mike arrived a bit later than us and we had breakfast together.
Suddenly uncle Richard's hp received sms from uncle Joyip that Calvin and bride was on their way back and everybody get ready for the bride's arrival and ' yum cha' ceremony.
And after the 'yum cha' ceremony, some planned to go shopping while yours truly prefers to go back home again (parking and feeding 轻舞飞扬 lar) hehehehe.......
Actually, weeks before the wedding, Calvin already assigned an important task for me.....sit at the restaurant front to help collect ang pows on his behalf..... Luckily, my mommy and aunt Millie also help me to collect angpows.... and aunt Pauline being kind, take some of the fruit punch that the restaurant offered for us but the fruit punch really looked like Listerine and really put off those faint-hearted people. ROFL
Thankfully the wedding dinner went smoothly.
Attached are some of the pics taken, enjoy~~

The day before Calvin's wedding

Sorry....this is a long delayed post...... actually the event is on 13/9/08 where it's one day before Calvin's wedding ^^ Met up with Aunt May and Uncle Mike in the noon after i juz knocked off from work. They juz arrived with Aunt YC and uncle Richard, too.
After they had their lunch,all of us proceeded to Calvin's house where i was assigned the job of writing the guests name onto a manila card prepared earlier by Calvin while the rest are admiring the photo shoot of Calvin and Joreen in Perth on DVD.It took me about 30 minutes to complete the task ^^ and while aunt May and uncle Mike wanted to go to aunt YC's house for a rest, i also decided to go back for a rest ( actually, park my cars and feed my 轻舞飞扬 ) .
My brother, Patrick arrived around 4pm and joined us for dinner at Calvin's house at around 7 pm.
The photos above can see Kenrick eating and posing with Li Ling, Mommy with aunt May, Patrick receiving a gift from aunt May and the wines we had that nite , yum yum... :P

Mid-Autumn Festival Concert

Accompany mommy to Summit Parade Outdoor Car Park for her Cantonese Opera performance at 6.15 pm on Sunday.We went early so that got place to seat ourselves, lolz. The Tanglung festival or Mid-Autumn Festival was organized by 峇株吧辖 中华公会青年团 and will start at 7 pm sharp according to mommy..... Still they started late....and mommy's performance is the 4th around 7.40 pm after the Chinese Wushu performance....I had to be the mommy's cameragal to take her pics when she was on stage performing but due to the poor lighting outdoor...the results wasnt that satisfactory >.<>and the 舞龙表演. The 舞龙 is disappointing coz the dragon isnt glowing in the dark much as i expect it to be.

Eye Shadow

Hmmm, in spite of my hastiness yesterday morning before going for work, i actually forgot to apply my eye shadow. It's the stupid Streamyx's fault coz it DC just before i was going to shift my last batch of cars!! Grrrr.....Then i got panicked and shifted late and somemore my good friend's ice-cream truck was not waiting for me at our dedicated street *sulk and more sulking*
It was until late afternoon when i almost knocking off from my work that it suddenly occured to me that i forgot to apply eye shadow yesterday :/ ROFLMAO

On the way to work this morning........

Yes, on my way to work this morning......we past though the usual route and HOLYCOW!!! Roadblock along the whole stretch of Jalan Rahmat at 8.15am !!!! Then we found out that there was rehearsals for the upcoming National Day on 31st August 2008 and hence they decided to practice at this ungodly hour ??? Didn't they know how many peoples are going to be late for work???? *sulk and more sulk*
I finally reached my office at 8.30am...just right and i was a little early today, too. Imagine if i went to the office at the usual 8.15am, I would be late!!!! Well, made up our mind not to past thru Jalan Rahmat on my way to work tomorrow and the day after and the day after .....until after 31st August ...*giggles* ......just to be on the safe side ^^

Stormy Night 狼羊物语

This is a wonderful cartoon that teaches us the values of friendship. I borrowed the DVD from my nephew , Kenrick Koh last week.I was in tears watching the touching ending.I never thought i would cry watching cartoon again.The last cartoon that made me cry was watching ' Lion King '. LOL Don't ask me why i cry, i just feel emotional watching those touching scenes.

This is the synopsis from Wikipedia :P

A goat named Mei wanders into a barn during the night for shelter from a storm. In the barn, the goat finds another refugee. The two can neither see nor smell each other, yet huddled together fending off the cold, they begin to talk and eventually develop a friendship. They decide to meet at a later time using the password "one stormy night". The next day, when the two meet, Mei learns that his companion from the night before was a wolf named Gabu. Despite the fact that the two are naturally supposed to be enemies, they share a bond and begin meeting regularly. However, Mei's flock and Gabu's pack eventually find out about this and forbid their friendship. Mei and Gabu, hoping to preserve their friendship, cross a river during a storm, hoping to find an "emerald forest" free from persecution for their friendship.

However, Giro, the leader of Gabu's old pack, holds a grudge against all goats, and views Gabu as a traitor to his kind. Giro and his pack go on the hunt to track down the two companions. Gabu and Mei, having reached the summit of a mountain and exhausted from fighting their way through a snow storm, stop and rest. Gabu hears his pack approaching and hides Mei in a nearby cave, ready to defend his goat friend to the death. As he is about to go face the wolf pack, there is an avalanche. The next morning, Mei digs through the snow blocking the cave and sees the "emerald forest" they had been searching for in the distance. However, Gabu has gone missing. Eventually coming across a cave, Mei finds Gabu who has lost his memory of their friendship and the events that took place prior to the avalanche. Gabu taunts Mei as he plans on eating him while waiting for the moon to come out. However, Mei is able to help Gabu remember everything. In the end, Mei and Gabu both enjoy watching the moon as it rises.

And here's the link to the cartoon from Youtube :P Enjoy ~~

Rhythm in Batu Pahat

Went to Grand Sea View Restaurant on the 21st August 2008 with mommy at 7 pm to attend the Chinese High School Musical Concert 2008.Arrived very early and met and had a small chat with the Headmistress of the school who just arrived about the same time as us.We went in first and handed over the 2 tickets which was courtesy of mommy's colleague.Then we were each given a bottle of mineral water and a small booklet after which we were being ushered to our place. ( Gave me the feeling of like in the cinema *giggles* )
The musical concert started at 8 pm sharp with the Headmistress giving a welome speech followed by the ribbon cutting and gong beating ceremony.After that 2 master of ceremony came on stage to introduce the programme with one speaking in Mandarin and the other in English.Those were the performances that night - 24 drum ( 24节令鼓 ) , Choir, Chinese Orchestra , Guitar rendition of the song ' Take me home, Country Road' ，Stringed instruments group present those classics like ' Finale from Symphony no:5 ' ， Solo singing, Wind instruments group,and the orchestra music group (harmonious combination of chinese musical instruments and the western symphony).
The song i liked best was from the 24 drum combined with the Chinese musical instrument performing the famous Kitaro's song- Matsuri. Every performance received thunderous applause and the mini concert ended at near 10 pm.
