Malaysia China Friendship Park(2)
WARNING: Bandwidth sucker!!
I went to Malaysia China Friendship Park at Jalan Song in the afternoon of 29th June 2006 and took quite a number of photos of the place. I had went there before and it was at night. Took heaps of photots of the garden. Thought that there won’t be anyone there or at least only a few. It’s only 3pm++ in the afternoon, there’re already so many people there!!! Beating the scorching sun, they were there to rest/relax in those shades/huts but we were busy shooting photos. I’m sure they think that we are crazy enough to take photos at hour like this. Hahaahhaha…
Left: The globe opposite the entrance.
Right: The main entrance.
Left: The fountain.
Right: Hmmm… 6 huge coins in there. Some people treated it as wishing well. You can see coins that people thrown in there.
Left: You can learn about M’sia here.
Right: View from the garden. There are rows of shops opposite the garden.
View from the “boat” where the statue of Admiral Cheng Ho is standing.
Left: Tortoise!!! So cute, it was swimming towards our direction and good thing I have optical zoom and took its photo.
Right: The so called wishing well. Lots of fish in there. Actually there’re fishes everywhere. So long that there are water, there will be fishes.
Left: The bridge. The “wishing well” is in the middle of the bridge.
Right: Another entrance from the other side. Previously we went in via this entrance. This is the main entrance too I guess… *SHRUG* Where the actual main entrance? ;-P
Some views of the garden…
Left: The restaurant.
Right: The entrance view from the reflexology path.
Left: I’m walking on the reflexology path. Not that painful but when you stop… WOW… The pain came. It’s not supposed to be that hurt but because some skins below my feet was peeling off and it’s not heal yet and from the 3 inches heels I wore for my studio photoshoot that morning, then with my 2 inches heels I wore to this garden, it’s so painful ahhaha… Not only that, the sun was so strong that it heated the stones… Man… it’s hot when walked on it. Oh… must walked barefoot ok?
Right: Some plants next tot the restaurant.
Left: Fish… more fish!!
Right: The restaurant again.
Here’s the garden trademark! “LET THERE BE LIGHT!!! OPEN THE SKY!!” HAHAHAHH… The statue of admiral Cheng Ho. The picture is dark because I’m shooting against the sun.
Left: The view of the pond. Too bad the water lilies weren’t bearing flowers like previously.
Right: KUCHING!!! How can we missed this in Kuching. There’s “kucing”(in malay) everywhere in Kuching!-_*
3 Marriages & 1 New House
This post is dedicated to these 4 events, these 7 people. π Oh… by the way… there are heaps of photos this month!! Wait till next week… there will be more!! More to come… more to come… wait for the surprise!
< Ann & Jee on their marriage on the 06.06.06 >
She had passed me the invitation card to her reception yesterday. They desinged their card themselves. It’s not the usual card with envelope or even in those typical chinese wedding colour. See for yourself.
< Lee’s moving to his new house >
< Mei & George on their marriage on the 20.06.2006 >
< Alysha & Paul on their marriage on the 20.06.2006 >
Here’s something that I forgotten to post up that day π Whoever that attended her registration ceremony was given a small token of appreciation.
Lastly… here’s the photos of the 3 newly-wed couples registration/signing ceremonies also their rings.
20062006 – 2 Knots Tied
WARNING: Tonnes and tonnes of photos!!!
Here we were after lunch! Foochow Association.
Ok… before we go further, today is Mei’s and Alysha’s officially upgrade their status from Miss to Mrs. I didn’t attend Mei’s registration ceremony at Hakka Association in the morning as I’m not invited. So I don’t have any pictures of her ceremony. In the afternoon, it’s Alysha’s at Foochow Association. We were there before 2pm because it’s supposed to start at 2.30pm but when we were all there, the people there told us the officer would be late, and can only have the signing ceremony at 4.30pm. So we decided to go to Lake Park to take photos of the 2 couples since we had like 2 hours to spare. I’m there to be the photographer. Hahahah… lousy photo taking skills.
Below are all the photos taken by me…
Alysha’s flowers.
My hand & your hand.
Let’s go!
Sweet!
Left: Marry me!
Right: It’s not a bird!! It’s SUPERME!
Left: Alysha!! You are heavy!
Right: Smile π
Left: Staircase of love.
Right: … Except this one, it’s taken by Alysha.
Left: Marry me!!! Please! Else I’m going to jump into the lake!!!
Right: Careful…. careful… don’t get prick by the thorns.
After the photo taking session, we went for a drink at
Jade Pot Tea at Jalan Song Thian Cheok(not sure how to spell). I had forgotten the price of the drinks. From left to right, peppermint milky tea, jasmine green tea, blueberry milky tea and Coke(if not mistaken).
We went back to Foochow Assocation at 4 something. Then after some waiting, finally the ceremony started. This was much faster than Ann’s and much more "casual" . After understanding the rules and regulations, both signed…
Then, the witnesses signed. Last but not least… they exchanged rings.
After that, a family photo. This is blur, I didn’t use flash and my hands were shaky. Aiksss… now then I realised I had forgotten to prepare a photo of me with the newly-wed.
That’s it!
Congrates to the four of you!
WOW… it’s really a month of celebrations!!
Lee’s House Warming Party
We were invited to Lee’s house warming party. He had moved to his new house during Gawai holiday. There were about 80+ or more people coming. We should be there by 6pm because we’re afraid that there would be no place to get proper parking spots but because of some unavoided circumstances, we only reached there at 6.30pm. We had also chipped in to buy a gift for him. Earlier on, there was a storm all over Kuching. Lucky it stopped after a while and that’s when you see this! Rainbow!!! His house(left) is just right under it.
Right: The house entrance. Two entrances actually, it’s two houses(semi-d) in one compound.
While waiting for the buffet dinner to start, we took a photo with the host, Lee(orange t-shirt).
Left: One of the corners of the house.
Right: Some of the gifts given by the invited guests.
Left: Satay and chicken wings! The satays were in quite big sticks compare to to those usually we had outside. Not sure where they bought it.
Right: "Tang Yuan"(I forgot what it’s call in English ;p) for everyone while waiting for the dinner to start.
The buffet table.
The food: Watermelons, honeydews, mixed veggies, mango fish, roasted duck, nestum prawn(it’s a hit among all) etc. The caterer was from Dong Guan Restaurant.
Dinner started at around 7.30pm rather than 6.30pm. You know… need to say more… M’sians time. After dinner, we chatted until 9.30pm and called it a night. Poor Lee… we left and he had no more friends staying back to accompany him π Must be busy talking with the sky or the food after we left. Thanks for the invitation π
P/S: We weren’t sure what’s in the present. LOL… because Audrey was the in charge of it and we just pay her the money. I heard that it’s a set of containers and a decorative hanger but not sure how they looked like hahaha…
