Janice & Chong Meng's Wedding

Congrats to the newly wed couple! Attended their wedding ceremony on the 30th December for tea ceremony and 6th December for the wedding dinner. As usual, Chinese has their own culture for every wedding and I guess the tradition never change since last time. A day before the tea ceremony, we have the bachelor's night dinner held at home and the next day is the tea ceremony.

On the 30th Nov morning, woke up early and get ready to go to the bride's (Janice) house. Everyone is excitingly waiting for the bridegroom's (Chong Meng) arrival. And there's one tradition which I'd like to share with everyone. I'm born in the year of Tiger and the pantang-larang goes like this.."Those who're born in the year of Tiger and Dragon must not face the bridegroom or look at him. We can only stand at one corner and peep at his arrival..hahha!" And the bridegroom gotta give those who born in the year of Tiger and Dragon angpows. How lucky huh! ;)



Chong Meng arrived around 10.30am together with his bachelor friends.



Look at this cute boy. It's Lachlan..Alex's nephew. Actually it was supposed to be his bro, Lucas, who opened the car door but I guess he was not in a good mood for that..hehhe! I dont know what's the tradition of opening the car door but I know there's always gotta be someone who must open the groom's car door. Hmm..why cant the groom open the car door by himself?? I think I'll ask my future husband to open by himself and save up on the angpow..hahhha!



Most of ChongMeng's friends are badminton players and I guess you guys should know one or two famous players in the photo. (L-R) ChongMeng's bro, KooKienKeat, Anthony, JeremyGan, TanBinShen, OngSoonHock and LeeWanWah. Sounds familiar to you? Hehhe I think most of you should know KooKienKeat and LeeWanWah..the famous doubles national player. And on that day, there's just more than only badminton skills needed in order to satisfy the bridesmaids.

First game: One of them are asked to finish up the whole bottle of Coca-Cola using the straw provided. Actually they make holes at the straw which makes it difficult for them to suck out the drink in the time period given. The first person who performed was Koo Kien Keat, finishing the whole can of Coke.



Couldnt really remember the sequence of the game. But one of the game is that they gotta use the super huge and super small badminton racquet to bounce the marshmallow and to be received by another friend using their mouth. It was quite a tough job. In the court, those badminton players only need to hit the shuttlecocks but now..shuttlecocks are replaced by marshmellows. The boyfriend was asked to demo to them how the game goes..LOL





They succeed in that game but next they were asked to brush their teeth with WASABI!!



Hahha their expressions! Some of them were smart. They only brush the front teeth and some stupid ones brush their teeth in and out with the wasabi. I think wasabi will give them a nightmare and perhaps Japanese food is a big no-no! Hehhe..

And lastly the funniest game of all! The KISSING game! A transparent paper is prepared and those bachelors were asked to put on the red lipstick. Then they were asked to kiss with one partner with the transparent paper in between!





Hahahhahaha! They were pretty lucky that there's no reporters on that day..otherwise this will be published to give Malaysians a big laugh on our national players. They are asked to collect 40 kisses on the transparent paper and they did it!

Oh ya..there's one part for the groom. He was asked to rap a short poem regarding of Janice and his bachelors was rapping the background music of "Yo..yoyo..yo..yo!" LOL! After all the tough games, the bridesmaids allowed the groom to enter the bride's room and thus followed by the tea ceremony.






Wedding Dinner @ Hilton

The dinner that everyone busy preparing for..heheh! Me and Delia went to The Curve around 1pm for hair-do at Peek-A-Boo saloon. I didnt really like the bob-style that Tommy did..anyhow not that bad la. Then we headed to One-U for make-up at Shu Uemura. The make-up was so damn thick and obvious. I told Delia the face make-up would crack if someone slapped us..hahha! Reached Hilton KL around 6 something pm and everyone was busy getting ready. Me and Delia brought our dress there to change and get ready.













Hmm I'm short beside Delia..hahha! Btw the wedding dinner was a grand one. Attended by all the Malaysian national players, VIPs and reporters. TheStar did published the news on Janice and ChongMeng's wedding.

Congratulations! ;)

Jacky Cheung World Tour '07

Great performance! It was my first time to Jacky Cheung's concert and it's really a good one! Never know he really has good voice..hehhe! Lucky enough that my aunt could get me 2 free tickets from her friend. No VIP seats but at least it's the PS1 seats, which is not far from the stage. And the best thing is..you get to take photos without being noticed by the authorities. Unlike the previous concerts I went, the authorities kept giving us warning coz it's easier to be noticed when you're in the VIP seats area.







This is the 97th concert in his world tour and it is the last one. He even extended his concert til Sunday before leaving Malaysia. Although I only know few of his best sentimental songs, but I find his performance is excellent. A man with the age of 46 still dancing actively on the stage. He even sang the songs he wrote for his wife and two daughters. He wrote a lullaby for his eldest daughter. After singing the lullaby, the crowd clapped and cheered..and he was disappointed. He said his lullaby supposed to make everyone fall asleep like his daughter, but instead everyone cheered..hahhha!

He shared a little embarrassingly that despite having sang so many songs, he's hardly had any songs specially dedicated to his wife and daughters. So in a recent album, he had a song written each for his daughter and wife. He joked that he was somewhat disappointed by his wife ot bad?statement as he had expected some tears in her reaction.




What a lucky dancer! He performed songs from Snow Wolf Lake and Perhaps Love, where his dancers played out the excerpts for each song performed.







Before ending his concert, he sang few of his greatest hits and I love the last song most. It was sad that the concert had to come to an end, but I think we're lucky enough to have him performing in Malaysia in his world tour. I even bought his Black & White album after the concert..hehhe! And once I got home last night, I downloaded so many of his Mandarin greatest hits..LOL! I'm always a fan of the artist after going for his/her concert.

Here's the short video of his performance..which is the last song

A-Not-So-Good Demo

I was in One-U yesterday to meet up with YeetSiang and LaiKwan @ Canton-i. A new branch of Dragon-i. But that's not what I wanna talk about. After the meeting, we walked back to the old wing to get our car and there's this salesperson from Cenosis approached us to try out on their latest nano technology to remove blackheads. It's only RM8 to try out. They're doing promotions at the ground floor (old wing) on their slimming programme as well as their latest facial treatment. So the bf suggested that we can give it a try since we both have lotsa blackheads.

First she applied the black liquid on our nose and sticked a paper on it and then applied another layer of black liquid on top of it.






While waiting for it to dry, she introduced the latest technologies they have and also commented on the body analysis I did earlier. I was asked to try on the FREE body analysis to test out the fats and muscles level of our body. Here's the comments on my body analysis..

First my body BMI is on average..which is ideal weight. Hmm ideal weight but I still look a bit fatter and chubby..

Secondly, my body fat is a little more than my muscles. I'm supposed to reduce my fats by 3.3kg and increase muscles by 1.3kg. And the conclusion is I gotta exercise more!

Thirdly, no water retention..which I always thought I have it..hehhe!

Next the salesperson started to introduce their slimming programme. I guess she introduced to the wrong person. Introducing to a person with ideal body weight and just extra amount of 3.3kg of fats??! If I were to sign up their slimming programme, I guess their clients will be overload! And she knew her chance of closing my sales is zero, she started to introduce on the facial treatment programme. Before she started, she removed the liquid which was applied earlier to show the effects..



This is the boyfriend's result. His is more obvious than mine but there's nothing special! It is exactly the same effect as Biore Pore Strips. So what does this nano technology mean??! That's why I would say this is a-not-so-good demo! When your demo cant show a good results to convince new customers, how can you convince them to sign up for package??!

I told her that the effect is not that good and I cant sign up. She was telling me that I should go for the full face treatment to see the effect. What does that mean?? You cant even prove the technology effect on a small part of the face and dont tell me you can prove it on the whole face..ish! TOTAL FAILURE!

Anyway I think it's time for me to get another facial session. My pores are clogged with blackheads again. I'm gonna make an appointment with SK-II first. One thing I dont like about SK-II facial is the long queue. It takes almost a month before your turn..hmmpf! Worst thing is I left my facial masks in hometown. So I went Sasa yesterday to grab any facial masks for temporary use.



I hope I dont scare you off..hahha! The bf said I looked a lil scary. And the masks I got from Sasa is much better than the nano technology from Cenosis. At least my skin is more moisture after doing the masks instead of removing all those blackheads.

And I bought a new cleasing oil from Shu Uemura. Previously I was using the SK-II cleansing oil. Now I'm trying Shu Uemura's cleasing oil coz it's not that greasy or oily..



I bought the 150ml which is RM99. The salesgirl, Angel, who did the make up for me the other day, recommended me to go for the 450ml coz it's cheaper..RM250. But I didnt want to coz I wanna try out first before purchasing the big bottle. I tried it immediately last night to remove my make-ups and the waterproof mascara I applied. It works well and not as greasy as SK-II's. When you add in with some water, it turns milky and acts as cleanser.

My next target is their UV Underbase Mousse.



The first time I tried this was when I went for the make-up session for wedding dinner. Angel put this mousse base on my skin to minimise the pores and act as UV protection base. It's RM135. Now I still have my UV liquid foundation left. I guess it will lasts for another 2 weeks and I'll try this foundation. I find that my skin is more suitable to products from Japan or Korea. Hmm that's for my skin condition. Previously I've tried products from Italy, France and etc but it doesnt work well on my skin. Perhaps Asians understand Asians better..hahha!

And this another target..hehhe! Sony Ericsson P1i



I was exploring the boyfriend's Blackberry phone and was so into it. I used his phone to browse the Internet and to check my blog and Facebook. It's so fun! LOL I'm a bit outdated la..so dont put the blame on me k! And he was receiving and send his mails from his Blackberry. There's GPS service as well. So I called up Keong to ask whether is there any Sony Ericsson model similar to Blackberry. And he told me bout P1. I'm really interested! Hahha..

Hmm I have so many items in my favourite list. If I were to buy everything, I guess I'll go bankrupt! Anyone out there kind enough to sponsor me?? ;)

NanXiang

Dragon-i or NanXiang??
That's what the bf asked. And I decided to try out Nanxiang since we had tried Dragon-i before. And my conclusion? I'd still prefer Dragon-i! The siulongpau is not that nice and the skin is actually thicker than Dragon-i. I thought the soup will not spill out since the skin is so thick but I was proven wrong. The skin actually tore off and the soup was gone..hehhe!

Not me who took away the siulongpau's virginity..hahha!

Last time I never like siulongpau coz there was once when I ate it, my tongue got burnt by the hot soup in it! So I was angry and didnt wanna have siulongpau anymore. But lately the bf thought me and I'm starting to fall in love with it again. And I guess the speciality of NanXiang is their siulongpau with straw. We didnt order that..instead we just order the normal ones.






Siulongpau



Shanghai Fried Noodles

XO Fried Rice

Fried Chicken Cubes With Dried Chillies

I'd prefer Dragon-i's fried chicken cubes with dried chillies. I remembered I took some photos of the food ordered in Dragon-i, Pavilion but I couldnt remember where I saved the photos. I think it's in another memory card and now I cant remember where is the other memory card..LOL!

And there's another update. The Hong Kong and Macau trip next week will be cancelled. The flight tickets will be cancelled or perhaps changed to another date. Coz there's too many things to do this month and I cant afford to be away for a week. I gotta ensure my downlines are all up by the end of this month. I cant waste their efforts now. So the bf said it's either we waste the tickets cost or postpone it to another date. At the moment cant think of which date to postpone to.

The bf suggested that we can go Singapore for few days since we're not going HongKong anymore. I think going Singapore is a good idea. But I'm not sure whether there's sales or not. Chinese New Year is only a month away and I wanna get new clothes! If possible, new bags, new shoes, new clothes, new this and new that! Hahha! I'm so happy today. Dad just called and inform me that the commission was banked in 2 days ago. I was so excited to find out the amount of commission that I'm gonna get. And to my surprise I receive RM2802.68 for last month's hard work! Hehhhehe..
