Of Wedding Bells and Confettis
The Princess is down with flu ever since she got back from KL. The same night after arriving from KL in the morning, she reported for work as she only has sore throat. Upon arriving in Hong Kong, she was still OK, but after eating the durian pomelo dessert, she was down with fever as well. Padan muka lar, eat durian. But the dessert was so good, it was worth it.
Jac got married last Sunday. I'm sincerely happy for her. She found her modern fairy tale, her Popeye The Sailorman (all played out in forward motion). Maybe domestic life will suit her more than those whirlwind soap operas.
The wedding reception was held in Rahsia. The affair was simple and classy. Square bamboo and paper lanterns lined the pathway to the garden. The entrance to the hall was flanked by two pink cloth lanterns, billowing in the wind. Dinner was served buffet-style. Ken Lee was very happy cos the alcohol was free-flow. Diana was very happy cos the chicken rendang was very good.

Not forgetting a big shout-out to Arfoo, who proposed to Sue in Bali. Congrats! A surprise party was planned by Siah and Co. for Sue at Decanter, who didn't have a clue about it. Siap pasang banner lagi, don't play play. Everyone was hiding behind car lar, tree lar and pillar. The moment Sue got out from the car, she was greeted by colourful confettis.

Arfoo was thinking "Yor, same same,
both also have rope around the neck"
I'm sick and tired of cupcakes lor. Tak makan, tak makan, sekali makan, makan dua kali. Jac's sister brought cupcakes for her hen's night. Naughty cupcakes. And forced everyone to lick the frosting. FYI, the frosting looks like this OK?
I will teach my children the birds and the bees
using these cupcakes

Kena force to lick the cupcake by her crazy sisterDid she mention General Election is going on in Malaysia as well when's back? Yeah, her trip this time really coincided with a lot of things. Even one of the crew operating the flight she was on is Ken Lee's friend. Met up with her at One U before bringing her to dinner with Ken Lee. Man, that Taiwanese girl was so surprised at the way our gong bau ji ding (stir-fried chicken in dried chillies) is prepared, contained in a yam ring. Nevertheless, she liked it very much and happily tucked into pai guat (pork ribs).
With Alicia, Kelly and Ken Lee at Green View RestaurantNow you know why she's sick. Too much extra curricular activities.
Of Bouncing Along Perfectly Well
Yor can die, it's been a super tiring week lor. Work non-stop for 7 days. Finally got a break and will be going back to KL to attend *gasp* Jac's wedding! I know, Jac's wedding!
Haha, that bitch is going to dress up in saree. RED saree. Totally can't wait for that to happen.
Chopped a good 6-inch (or more) off my hair in Hong Kong. Try it, it's one of the most liberating thing one could do. Now I feel so much lighter and bouncy. Like boing, boing bouncy, literally.
Ok, I really got to sleep, I don't make much sense at 5 in the morning.

Of Scurrying Around in The Year of Rat
I worked too hard. Seriously. No time to update this blog although I have tons of materials waiting to be uploaded.
Went back for CNY early this month and even to recall the hurdles I had to go through sent shivers down my spine. It was HORRIBLE to put it mildly.
Anyway, was very happy when I finally reached Melaka. And pengsan-ed for a whole day. As usual, Mama Tju was busy preparing for CNY. Cleaning the house, putting finishing touches to decoration and preparing ingredients for the reunion dinner. This year was the first time we had reunion dinner at home (no more going back to my paternal grandma's house cause she passed away late last year). That also meant we couldn't hang "ang chai" (long strip of red cloth hanged above the door) and less ang pow (red packet containing money usually given to singles from married couples) as the whole family was still considered in mourning.
On the day before new year eve, Smelly came and visited us. I haven't seen him for a whole year and my, he has certainly grown a lot! As usual, Mama Tju was busy pampering him for the short time he was here.
Our favourite boy in the world, Smelly
Mama Tju lovingly fed Smelly cherry
I love new year as I have a valid reason to stuff myself silly with all the nice foods and cookies (although it seems I always have a reason to do so anyway). My favourite dishes are the chu du tang (pig intestines soup) and chun chuen (spring roll), Mama Tju's star dishes.
Our simple but delicious reunion lunch
Chu du tang (Pig intestines soup with ayam kampung,
fish maw and whole black peppers)
Fragrant king prawns fried in butter and oats and
sprinkled liberally with cili padi
Mixed vegetables with shrimps and scallops
Chun chuen (spring roll stuffed with minced pork, fish, shrimps, water chestnut,
spring onions, shiitake mushrooms and carrots)
Lor ak (Braised duck in five spice powder)
Not to forget, kickass super duper spicy cili padi planted by Grandma
(the maternal side one, not the dead one, silly)
Mama Tju also like to camwhore, actually

On the second day of new year, we balik kampung our maternal grandma's house in Nilai. It is always very festive here as all my uncles, aunties and cousins will congregate and the number is not small. Of course, here we will participate in our favourite pastime - gambling! This year upgrade OK, we even played mahjong in addition to Blackjack. I tried my hand in mahjong (2 cousins were supervising me so I only throw away the correct tiles) and I had very good beginner's luck. In one round, I even had 3 birds, am kong (four of the same tiles) and jie mo (game by self drawing the winning tile). Haha.
Camwhore before going to Grandma's house
Another use for high heels

Of course, new year is not complete without camwhoring for a bit. The Tju sisters (especially the younger one) does it very well.
New year must wear gold/red

for me from Singapore
Finally, this year, I got to meet up with Mae and Anne. Anne has put off so much weight I could barely recognise her. Seriously. A tad unhealthy, if you ask me. Anne, better put on some weight so your head doesn't look that big and pheeweetttt...you'll look gorgeous.

Also managed to meet up with Ken Lee and Jac before going to Jordan for a short holiday with Joanne. Jojo was back as well as she has 3 days off, and we decided to have dinner at Alexis. Jac officially introduced her husband-to-be, Nesh.
Little Amelita's like going to cry any moment - muka kesian
Nesh talking with Kong Kong (Jojo's bf)
My FHM misses me too much
Jojo forced me to take a solo shot of her with Ah Kong

Okok, enough about the people, let's talk about the food.
Bruschetta
Duck confit
Can't remember what pizza we ordered
Seafood pasta
Chicken and mushroom pie
Mee Siam - Jojo too long never come back
until have to order mee siam in Alexis (??)
Yum char at Black Canyon after dinner
The coffee cannot make it lor

Of This Body Broken
I don't know how they do it, but I just can't stand ultra-long flights. It felt like my body was being smashed into pieces afterwards. It took me 2 days to recover post-flight.
As much as I love KIX, I'm glad I don't have to do it next month.

Of A Very Dirty Valentine
How did you spend your Valentine's Day?
I spent mine with Joanne covering each other with thick, black mud before frolicking in Dead Sea, taking turns to soap off one another.
Here's a V-Day tribute video from Post Secret, enjoy. Quite touching actually, if you could get over the mushiness.
Now go throw mandarin oranges into some river.
